Abdominal Breathing

Abdominal Breathing

Season 2: Episode 44

In this episode, we begin with the simplest form of Qigong: the breath. Abdominal breathing is referred to as natural breathing in Qigong and allows us to harness the power of the breath. As we breathe, we are naturally taking in new nourishing energy with our inhale and releasing energy that does not serve us with our exhale. When we add intention to something so natural, we magnify its healing capabilities.

For the month of November, Samm is sharing the five most recommended Qigong exercises she has given to clients in 2021. Each week she’ll cover the intention and power of the exercise, and then we will practice together.
