After you have more than a few classes of Qigong under your belt, remember one or two things you might have learned in the Qigong class. Picture yourself doing that one thing without necessarily physically doing anything. Envision in your mind that you are making the move and feeling as relaxed as your teacher (hopefully the teacher you pick is a good role model who is healthy and at the proper weight who inspires you enough to emulate). They don’t have to be perfect, just inspiring ENOUGH.


After your practice of feeling calm, aligned and more grounded, which any Qigong is teaching you to feel, smile


to your heart and tell your heart that it is beating at the right rate to make your blood pressure easy and calm.


Smile to your lungs and tell them they don’t have to strain because your entire body, including your skin, is breathing. Especially learn that your BELLY can breathe like a well trained singer needs to breathe.


Smile to your stomach and wrap it in a golden yellow light and tell it to only pick the healthiest foods. Perhaps when


you start to pick up some food that you know is tough for you to resist and is not really healthy, that golden light around your stomach squeezes it gently and tells you that you are unable to touch the food that isn’t the best choice.


Smile to your liver and tell it that it will make the bile that will digest those best foods, and your pancreas will make just the right amount of sugar your body needs which will keep you from indulging in habitual addictions to too much sugary food and drink. Your spleen will distribute healthy enzymes to your body. Tell yourself you are less likely to be tempted to touch foods that previously you were challenged to leave alone.

Smile to your kidneys and bladder and tell them that waste waters flow out of you when you urinate and take out with them the unwanted urges for unhealthy food.

Smile to your small and large intestines and tell them they are doing a continually better job of taking in the


nutrients you need and releasing the solid waste in the form of big healthy stools, perhaps healthier than you have ever elimi- nated until you started practicing!


Smile to your reproductive system and say, “I have the energy and power of a sperm that swims to an egg.”


Make yourself into a better, newer and healthier you. You are becoming a positive person full of life force energies, little by little and step by step!


June 2011 45 If you don’t know the location of your internal organs, get


to know them through buying a simple anatomy book. Slowly, your internal organs will become better friends than all the food you have ever craved and binged upon. You will want to protect those organs more and more. Keep up your practice with your teacher and learn more about Qigong through the Internet, magazines and books. You will have a higher esteem about yourself by seeking out ways to train to get only Healthy Cravings in your life!
