Every morning I meditate for 30 mins, then I practice the 8 Brocades and 5 Element gigong!!! AFTERWARD I FEEL ON TOP OF THE WORLD, thank you very much Mimi Kuo- Deemer, great videos and practices!!!
Hello Mimi, would you recommend doing the 8 brocades and 5 element qigong exercises together as Alan suggests (together in the morning)? Or perhaps they are more effective done at separate times of the day. Both of your demonstration videos were fantastic by the way. Thank you for your insights & inspiration.
Cheers for this, been searching for "learning powerful methods to build your Chi energy" for a while now, and I think this has helped. Ever heard of - Fellmeroni Rudimentary Chi - (Have a quick look on google cant remember the place now ) ? Ive heard some amazing things about it and my partner got great success with it.
I just wanted to thank you so much for this video. I'm currently a third-year student at Southwest Acupuncture College in New Mexico and I was initially looking for a qi gong practice that I could do daily to build my qi for when I treat in our student clinic. I've been practicing daily for about three weeks now and I feel my qi flowing more freely and with less constraint. I especially love how you incorporate information about the channels, elements, nature of each organ and their emotions rather than just showing us the moves. I've shared your videos with my friends, as well. Thank you so much and after I really master this one and become more present during it, I'm going to explore the other videos. Thank you so much for these- what a gift!
Thanks so much Collin, glad you enjoy them and they're helping your qi flow for treatment. My husband is also an acupuncturist, the two practices are certainly very complimentary. In fact I learned a variation of these practices from an acupuncturist from New Zealand over 10 years ago, who also taught me a lot about 5 element theory. Good luck with the rest of your program!
I had car sickness for the first 39 1/2 years of my life. The last 6 months, I can read books (as a passenger in any vehicle without nausea) cuz of your videos!
Coming back to Qigong after many years of depression and anxiety I know I can do it Just step at a time again and again Thank you so much for your gift 💕🎄
Dear Mimi, I always enjoy your routines, but today I really felt the need to thank you for sharing them. Your teaching style is so elegant and easy to follow. Once again, thank you!
6 months steady...... still getting stronger.....Chi is discovered......Breath makes huge difference......a remarkable journey that has given me range-of-motion...... knocked out 100 consecutive push-ups a few months ago.....after a great session of Gi Gong. ...;-)
@Mimi Kou-Deemer, I have been doing this practice for ... 2 years now? I also started learning Chen Taiji. In the past year, my life came to a juncture where everything seemed to crash all around me. There were a few days where I felt completely alone, and even contemplated self harm. This practice helped me get through that time. I kept growing, and recently, came to another juncture. Today, this morning, the qigong helped me see the cycle of life more fully and give context and wisdom to what I am going throw. Thank you for this.
Much gratitude Mimi, am 60ish & very bad physical condition. Your video was delivered with exact explanation of method, theory, movement explanation in relation to all of creation. Love it! Going to commit daily a.m. time for this. Increase time as I progress, again this old Native American Lady gives much thanks to your work!
This was exactly what I needed! I had a workshop about 5 elements qi gong a few months ago, but it wasn't long enough for my muscle memory to memorise everything. this is precisely what I have been looking for to learn the movements, and practice regularly on my own. Thank you so much. Lovely channel!
I'm gratitude for precise explanation of the meridians within each posture. I'm practicing similar chi-kung in the beginning of each chen taichi session but our master haven't (yet) explained us proper meaning of various postures so this is really helpfull... This video inspired me quite a bit to do a summary of all things... List of postures and their elements and organs, as presented in video: 0:15 - wood (liver+galbladder) 2:40 - fire (heart+small intestine/pericardium+triple warmer(hormonal system)) 4:45 - earth (pancreas/spleen+stomach) 7:00 - metal (lungs+large intestine) 8:55 - water (kidneys+bladder) Associated qualities within each element, in the order of their nourishing cycle: wood, symbol Azure Dragon, green or greenblue color, *growing* *expansion* *optimism* , tendons/ligaments and eyes (most yang) -> fire, Red Phoenix, red *prosperity* *enthusiasm* *creativity* , blood circulation and pulse (yang) -> earth, Yellow Dragon, yellow, *balance* *stability* *empathy* , muscles (center, yin yang in perfect balance) -> metal, White Tiger, white *refinement* *strength* *control* *courage* , nerves/will (yin) -> water, Black Tortoise, darkblue or black *perseverence* *_wisdom_* *flexibility* , bones and ears (most yin). Of course each element and organ can have bad qualities or emotions when there's blockage or unbalance e.g. for wood it's mainly *anger* or *idealism* , for water *indecision* *anxiety* , for metal *pomposity* *grief* *rigidity* and so on based on whether there is general weakness or surplus of chi or there's imbalance between yang/yin in the element (such as anger when the galbladder prevails over liver).
I have been practicing for over a year and I find that each teacher does the same move a little differently. I like you, Mimi, because you have a flow. You make the movement graceful. Like when you are lifting and moving and turning the hands. It just flows!
Tried this for the first time this morning... I've been practicing daily for just over 10 years, but this set made my temperature rise and I came out in a sweat. I now intend to break it down and learn it properly, one exercise at a time. Thanks for sharing this...
I am a Nei Gong practitioner. This managed to open my side channels after only 3 sessions! I can feel the electric vibration traveling from the hui jin up, up near the spleen into the crown of the head and down near the liver all the way back into the perineum. Very good set!
This is amazing. I was drawn to Qigong during one of my Reiki sessions. And I found this video to fit what Im suppose to be doing. Thank you Mimi for posting this video. I will make this part of my daily practice.
Hi @SocksInTheDrawer, yes - qigong is good for mental and physical health. In Chinese medicine the organs and their meridians all have associated characteristics such as colour, sounds, and emotions. When the organs are in or out of balance the emotions can therefore also be affected. Glad you like the movements!
Excellent Video! Forgive me for butting in, I am interested in your thoughts. Have you considered - Zenatthew Planning Paradoxal (probably on Google)? It is a good exclusive guide for building your Chi energy without the hard work. Ive heard some extraordinary things about it and my mate at last got excellent success with it.
Hi Mimi...thank you for doing these wonderful and tough qi gong videos. They are helping me to keep my blood pressure and diabetes plus walking daily under control. Even though I have to stop midway...I get back into them again the next day. God bless you and your family!
This is so beautiful..these POSITIVE movements are vital to our innergy Chi flow ..giving thankhs 4 your time, energy & love..sharing this gem. Hetep 🙏🏾balancing these innergies is 🗝.
Beautiful person, beautiful practice, beautiful instructions, especially including the proper breath work and the visualizations and the effects...the world thanks you for this gift, Mimi!!!
Thank you for posting this truly beautiful set. I especially appreciated the explanations of the organs and emotions in balance and out of balance associated with each element.
This is a wonderful practice, it is quick, easy to follow and effective. I work up last night and decided to perform this practice to help me get back to sleep and calm my body mind and spirit. I did the practice two times in a row then went back to sleep I woke up very well rested and feeling balanced! Thank you so much Mimi!
Mimi, your videos and instruction are now my favorite online! Your knowledge of psychological, spiritual, energetic and five elements realities and effects flow naturally and organically along with your exemplifying these protocols. I find them focused, clear, not distracting, entirely organic and natural to follow. Many many thanks! I am starting this practice late in life, which is not ideal, but after a lifetime of chronic illness I am hoping to increase my mental health, physical health and longevity. I have already sent your video to a friend and will send it to everyone I know who is interested in practicing Qigong!
+Linda Redmond Thank you so much Linda, that's so kind of you to write, and I'm glad you enjoy the sequences and forms. Wishing you the very best in your practice, Mimi
Hi Mimi, I have been practicing the 8 brocades for almost a month and I have observed my first positive evolution in my digestive problems (reflux coming from anxiety and nervousness). I love your voice, I love the simplicity of the explanations, I love the demonstrations,. Thousands of thanks for sharing!!!
This is wonderful to hear, I'm so glad the videos have been helpful. Thanks for sending such a kind message, too. I'm honoured! Wishing you a happy new year! Mimi
Beautiful 5 Elements qigong practice. I enjoyed so much doing it! I love how you mention the explanation for each element when we practice. I learned recently about the 5 Elements from Andrew Kenneth Fretwell's book - Emotional Alchemy: The Love And Freedom Hidden Between Painful Feelings. And now I stumbled across your qigong practice. 🤩 It is the most comprehensive and easy to understand book about the elements inside each one of us, in my opinion. I was fascinated by his view on the Earth Element. ''Do you ever find yourself saying "yes" to things you don't really want to do, or feeling guilty about saying "no" to others? This can be a sign of an Earth imbalance within you. The Earth Phase also has a lot to do with our sense of boundaries - our ability to confidently say "no" and "yes" in a balanced way. When we can calmly decline things that don't serve us, or embrace things that do, we're embodying the qualities of a strong Earth. When boundaries are not clear it is easy to experience disappointment and manipulation.''
Thank you for sharing this Irene, it is super interesting right! I am happy to know you are enjoying exploring the element practices and teachings. Keep up the amazing work
I Thank you, I stated Qigong for the first time 1week ago and already feel clarity, focus and the way my body is responding is incredable. I am healing my gallbladder/kidneys and liver. So this is a perfect practice for me. Any words of encouragement and/or advise is greatly appreciated.
Hi Paulo, the benefits are healthy qi flow through the meridians of the main five organs, or viscera, as well as gentle circulation and benefit to the joints. In general it's to encourage more balance among the five phases/elements of wood, fire, earth, metal and water. Hope you enjoy it!
Hello Mimi, I love this Wu Xing sequence more than any other 5 elements sequence that I've seen. Can you tell where this particular sequence originates from? Thank you for the beautifully presented video. Blessings
Hi Mimi , I just want to say THANK YOU because I've been doing my home Qigong practice with your videos for 2 months everyday . I love the way you explain each movement and the movements are easy to follow. Thank you for sharing your qigong knowledge to everyone .
Every day brings new changes to my body & mind.....I can feel subtle changes happening within.....but my biggest obstacle seems to be concentrating on form and not how many reps.... Thank you Mimi.
Thank you for your very clear and informative videos on the 5 elements. i have memorized your awesome videos re the 8 brocades and am in the process of now memorizing the 5 Elements. My wife and I teach a Tai Chi/Qi Gong class in Athens, GA and it is always nice to pull out these moves and to have more moves for our personal practice. Thank you so much for all you do!
Soothing. restauring. Beautiful moves spiritually charged with kindness and gentleness towards self and others. Please water your bamboos. They look dry in their pots and make me sad. From Australia a big THANK YOU
I stumbled across your 8 brocades demonstration last week, Mimi, and my boyfriend and I have found it a valuable addition to our daily lockdown routine. Your presence is exquisite and beatific, and your presentation style gentle, simple and clear. We’re looking forward to trying out this 5 Elements practice at our next session. Thank you so much.
Bless you for sharing your wisdom and technique,really enjoy your style of delivery,a natural teacher with a joyful enigmatic smile to brighten the start of my day . Many thanks x
Thank you for this video. This helped me a lot during my depression 2 years ago. I find myself coming back to it whenever I need to clear my mind and get in tone with my body.
I want to express my feelings of performing qi gong again and very thankful you have it in CC as my hearing is not good from birth. I am a swimmer and find qi gong much like swimming for pleasure, ( not for competition which are whole other fast movements)...like water, flowing rather than like yoga et al which aggravates my tight muscles ( chest, shoulders and neck). These movements are on different planes whereas most sports are on one plane creating tightness. I like how you explain the movements- not just doing them. Many laugh at me when I say I do this, they think it is "easy" and for me it is the meditative effects that are most important. Thank you!
Wonderful. Thank you Mimi. You are a true delight. Sometimes in life its not easy to find something that you enjoy and that is good for you. Your qigong presentation and presence ticks both boxes. I really do enjoy doing qigong with you whilst watching your RUclips presentation and over the last month or so am doing both the 5 Elements and the 8 Brocades each day, oftentimes twice in a day. Doing an hour of qigong each day feels so good and beneficial. Feel so grateful. Blessings. Keep up the good work.
You are the best qiging I have found on RUclips!!!!! I just wish you had more!!!!! I am listening to your book on audible. Thanks for everything you do!
Te ćwiczenie jest cudowne. Piekna sceneria, kojąca muzyka,poprostu cudownie się cwiczy. Poza tym nauczyciel jest cudowny przyjemnie się ogląda. Dziekuje bardzo. Dzięki wam cwicze codziennie qigong😘💚💚💚💚💚💚💚💚🧡🧡🧡🧡🧡🧡🧡🧡
This felt absolutely fantastic. It was a little difficult even thought I‘m not a beginner at qigong but I will repeat this practice until I can do it on my own. Absolutely wonderful!
thank you Mimi for sharing your knowledge . I'm grateful for your videos. They have given me inspiration to exercise daily in a healthy way with calming meditation.
I enjoy your soft comments and gentle approach. Thanks so much you have helped me get in a positive new groove which hopefully will ripple into every part of my life.
I am very new to these kinds of exercises. I've mostly been reading books. Today is the first I've sought out videos to see how it's done. I am really enjoying and learning much from your videos. Your explanations are easy to understand. And it's easy to follow your movements. I hope to utilize these video more as I integrate these exercises into my life. Thank you for sharing these videos and your insight.
Oh , thank u so much for sharing your practice. So well done, easy to understand and follow. I've been wanting to start and you have made this possible for me. I believe the teacher will come when the student is ready. So much gratitude for this opportunity to learn 🙏🙏🙏❤️
Thank you so much for making this video! It feels good to be doing qi gong again after a 10 year hiatus. I like your teaching style. I look forward to viewing your other videos.
Le felicito maestra . Necesitamos buenas profesoras como usted en España. Llevo cuatro años practicando tai chi y busco ampliar mis conocimientos y su vídeo me ha gustado mucho, gracias.
Your video is very educative, beautiful, and easy to follow. I'm learning and including this practice in my daily routine. Thanks for sharing your wisdom. Blessings
I finally get to do this practice in my daily routine not as perfect put feels very balancing and every day feels even more powerful Thank You Mimi❤️🙏🏾🙏🏾
Hello Mimi! I have found Qigong to be the one form of balancing myself which really works for me. I have been trying to find vids online which felt right; yours does. Thank you so much. I was introduced to your work by my good friend and colleague, Jean-Claude Ohms. I am deeply grateful to him!
Mimi, I wanted to thank you for your teaching! I have had curiosity about qigong for a while but your 8 brocades class through Commune got me inspired to work with it every day, along with reading Ken Cohens book. Your bits of education and ease of movement is a gift, thank you 😊
Love this practice ♥️ I have returned many times to this video over the years, I find it difficult to focus in just one thing at the time, but your sweet voice guiding the exercise helps to feel more relaxed and focus 😊
How inspiring to see this quiet, understated and yet powerful practice that incorporates healing body, mind and spirit. What if everyone practiced this every day? Maybe the world would lose some of its anger and allow space for kindness. I know it has that effect on me.

Im just returning to my daily routine of Xing yi neigong 13 exercises and 5 element qigong after a 4 year hiatus. I am going slowly as Ive been diagnosed with Afib. It takes me about 30 minutes to do my neigong and q igong practice. Have blessed practice everyone
Please always keep this classic (as well as the 8 Brocades) available. They are my two “go to” videos, I do them both if I can! I am looking forward to do some of your hour-long classes as well. Thank you so much. 🙏
Thank you so very much for posting this video, and the one on the 8 Brocades. I am using them as part of my healing from breast cancer. Your kindness is amazing. Thank you, thank you, thank you. (BTW-You have such a sweet smile, it is impossible to watch the 8 Brocades without smiling back.) much love... rayne
Mimi, thank you so much for your videos. After watching only one of them you quickly became my favorite. This 5 elements video is most perfect for me as I work to bring my chi back in balance after cancer surgery and the subsequent lymphedema. This after hemi-paralysis from a car wreck in 1983 that left me with huge physical challenges and unbalanced my body despite everything I had learned from earlier practice of martial arts since I did not fully understand chi energy at the time. I will be following along with you every morning (this video especially.) I am in deep gratitude for you and discovering your videos!
QiGong 8 brocades is great, but this 5 elements is really awesome and wonderful beautiful and Deep Power. Many thanks and my best wishes for you, practicing this form is extremely grounding!
Thank you for your video. I love it and your beautiful movements. I have just started Qigong. My work incorporates mime, masks and theater so I really appreciate and can identify with the mime- like movements. Thank you so much !
This video is very good! I like the way she explains what the movements do for your body and mind! The setting is very beautiful and peaceful as well. I will try to do this workout, but I won't be near as graceful and elegant as she does! :)
Beautiful! I love your very precise and accessible way of presenting this work. I look forward to adding the element of Water to my TaijiFit class tomorrow! The perfect antidote for a full day of teaching Yoga, Tai Chi, and Nia.
Thanks kindly for your reply Mimi, this helps a great deal! I love the idea of moving as a right does :) Will keep that in mind when doing this practice.
I THANK YOU FROM THE BOTTOM OF MY HEART!!!! QI GONG HAS DRAMATICALLY IMPROVE MY LIFE! what simple still quiet motions. i hope you are alright, hope to see new postings in the future!
Thank you so much for sharing this video and art. I have always wanted to try Qigong, and I am really enjoying beginning with this video. I have been doing it for a couple of days and I am going to keep trying everyday.
Thank you for this. I feel like my body's been craving the water element with dry skin, eyes, and a sense of being stuck. I did this flow just once and I already feel more loose and open.

Is it ok to do the 5 elements first and then the 8 brocades after? Does it mess the qi? Anyone, please? Thanks in advance!
@@DarlikaDor I think it is o.k, donť worry :)

Thanks Mimi for these great videos, Qigong is universal! Bonjour from Paris ☯️
I'm back! I so missed your sessions. Had to get my hip replaced and now I can happily do your beautiful chi gong again!! Thank you
Wonderful!
Love this movements and it helped me trough a tough time. It brings quitness in my head and give me good energy. Thanks and love for everything.
Hi Paulo, the benefits are healthy qi flow through the meridians of the main five organs, or viscera, as well as gentle circulation and benefit to the joints. In general it's to encourage more balance among the five phases/elements of wood, fire, earth, metal and water. Hope you enjoy it!
Thank you for sharing such beautiful and eloquent explained sequence, the energy you give is so nurturing to the soul and body
Hello Mimi, I love this Wu Xing sequence more than any other 5 elements sequence that I've seen. Can you tell where this particular sequence originates from? Thank you for the beautifully presented video. Blessings
I
I would have thought air would be included in these elements instead of metal could you explain the metal concept ?
Hi Mimi , I just want to say THANK YOU because I've been doing my home Qigong practice with your videos for 2 months everyday . I love the way you explain each movement and the movements are easy to follow. Thank you for sharing your qigong knowledge to everyone .
Merci beaucoup Mimi. J'adore! Je pratique avec vous tous les matins.
thank you!
Every day brings new changes to my body & mind.....I can feel subtle changes happening within.....but my biggest obstacle seems to be concentrating on form and not how many reps.... Thank you Mimi.
Thank you for your very clear and informative videos on the 5 elements. i have memorized your awesome videos re the 8 brocades and am in the process of now memorizing the 5 Elements. My wife and I teach a Tai Chi/Qi Gong class in Athens, GA and it is always nice to pull out these moves and to have more moves for our personal practice. Thank you so much for all you do!
This is such a balancing and beautiful inner work practice! I do this a couple times a week, and feel so rejuvenated & refreshed. Thanks for sharing!😌
Thank you for practicing with me Emily!
Soothing. restauring. Beautiful moves spiritually charged with kindness and gentleness towards self and others.
Please water your bamboos. They look dry in their pots and make me sad. From Australia a big THANK YOU
I stumbled across your 8 brocades demonstration last week, Mimi, and my boyfriend and I have found it a valuable addition to our daily lockdown routine. Your presence is exquisite and beatific, and your presentation style gentle, simple and clear. We’re looking forward to trying out this 5 Elements practice at our next session. Thank you so much.
This is excellent. In gratitude for your offering.
Thanks for your video. I have been practicing this for 2 weeks now and feel an improvement in my health. Blessings!
+dharmaswan12 so wonderful to hear!
Bless you for sharing your wisdom and technique,really enjoy your style of delivery,a natural teacher with a joyful enigmatic smile to brighten the start of my day . Many thanks x
Your moves are so elegant and graceful , accompanied with your soothing voice - thank you
Thank you for this video. This helped me a lot during my depression 2 years ago. I find myself coming back to it whenever I need to clear my mind and get in tone with my body.
I want to express my feelings of performing qi gong again and very thankful you have it in CC as my hearing is not good from birth. I am a swimmer and find qi gong much like swimming for pleasure, ( not for competition which are whole other fast movements)...like water, flowing rather than like yoga et al which aggravates my tight muscles ( chest, shoulders and neck). These movements are on different planes whereas most sports are on one plane creating tightness. I like how you explain the movements- not just doing them. Many laugh at me when I say I do this, they think it is "easy" and for me it is the meditative effects that are most important. Thank you!
Thank you susan, this is a beautiful reflection and I am so glad you have found Qigong and it is helping you!
Wonderful. Thank you Mimi. You are a true delight. Sometimes in life its not easy to find something that you enjoy and that is good for you. Your qigong presentation and presence
ticks both boxes. I really do enjoy doing qigong with you whilst watching your RUclips
presentation and over the last month or so am doing both the 5 Elements and the 8 Brocades each day, oftentimes twice in a day. Doing an hour of qigong each day feels so good and
beneficial. Feel so grateful. Blessings. Keep up the good work.
You are the best qiging I have found on RUclips!!!!! I just wish you had more!!!!! I am listening to your book on audible. Thanks for everything you do!
Thank you for your feedback Meghan! There is a lot more available now via Vimeo - I hope you have found some of it useful! x
Beautiful flow. I have been practicing yoga for years now and moving into Qigong to add to my practice. Excellent instruction. Thank you
Thank you! Keep up the effort and work :)
Te ćwiczenie jest cudowne. Piekna sceneria, kojąca muzyka,poprostu cudownie się cwiczy. Poza tym nauczyciel jest cudowny przyjemnie się ogląda. Dziekuje bardzo. Dzięki wam cwicze codziennie qigong😘💚💚💚💚💚💚💚💚🧡🧡🧡🧡🧡🧡🧡🧡

Yay! I remember watching this video when it first came out and just refound it today. Truly one of the best guided qigong videos imo
Glad you enjoyed it and came back to it and enjoyed it again!
This felt absolutely fantastic. It was a little difficult even thought I‘m not a beginner at qigong but I will repeat this practice until I can do it on my own. Absolutely wonderful!

I become so relax and happly with your Qigong lessons. Thank you so much🙏

The best qigong practice, my opinion after hours of searching, well done!!
I am very new to these kinds of exercises. I've mostly been reading books. Today is the first I've sought out videos to see how it's done. I am really enjoying and learning much from your videos. Your explanations are easy to understand. And it's easy to follow your movements. I hope to utilize these video more as I integrate these exercises into my life. Thank you for sharing these videos and your insight.
Thank you! I have used this video and love it. It is a great way for me to start my day.

thank you for sharing your journey! x
Hello Mimi! I have found Qigong to be the one form of balancing myself which really works for me. I have been trying to find vids online which felt right; yours does. Thank you so much. I was introduced to your work by my good friend and colleague, Jean-Claude Ohms. I am deeply grateful to him!
Thank you! Is that Jean-Claude in London? So glad to hear qigong has been helpful!
Thank you!! Really love these sequences in reverence to Gaia. 🌹💫🙏🏻
You're so welcome!
That was a beautiful and comforting 5 element qigong meditation practice. Thank you! I loved it 💗🙌🏼
You're so welcome!
Mimi, I wanted to thank you for your teaching! I have had curiosity about qigong for a while but your 8 brocades class through Commune got me inspired to work with it every day, along with reading Ken Cohens book. Your bits of education and ease of movement is a gift, thank you 😊
You are so welcome! It is lovely to hear that you are enjoying the classes and beautiful Qigong practices!
Love this practice ♥️ I have returned many times to this video over the years, I find it difficult to focus in just one thing at the time, but your sweet voice guiding the exercise helps to feel more relaxed and focus 😊
Thank you for sharing this, I am so happy to hear I help you focus in someway!
Good morning from Eugene Oregon. Life is better with your lessons in it.
Good morning! Thank you Morgan!
An excellent Qi Gong Practice. Well executed, and very well presented. Thank you.
Thanks mam mimi, its best learn excercise every 30min routine a day, from Philippines!
Wonderful!
How inspiring to see this quiet, understated and yet powerful practice that incorporates healing body, mind and spirit. What if everyone practiced this every day? Maybe the world would lose some of its anger and allow space for kindness. I know it has that effect on me.

take your time and be kind to your body! Good job though!
Thank youI am suffering from long time with the energy problem but with this practice In two days I am feeling so energized..Thanks again
So glad to hear it's helping with your energy after just two days!
Please always keep this classic (as well as the 8 Brocades) available. They are my two “go to” videos, I do them both if I can! I am looking forward to do some of your hour-long classes as well. Thank you so much. 🙏
Thank you for writing Shelly, so happy to hear you enjoy these practices!
Beautiful Mimi. I just love this sequence. Thank you very much.
Thank you so very much for posting this video, and the one on the 8 Brocades. I am using them as part of my healing from breast cancer. Your kindness is amazing. Thank you, thank you, thank you. (BTW-You have such a sweet smile, it is impossible to watch the 8 Brocades without smiling back.) much love... rayne
Thank you for this post. It is a wonderful practice that I do everyday. It is clearly demonstrated and insightful.
so glad you like it! Mimi
Hi Mimi! Just wanted to say you're perhaps my favorite Qigong instructor on RUclips. Keep it up!
+Berns Mitra Thanks so much, that's so kind of you to say! I am really glad people like the videos and find them helpful :)
Thanks a lot for this marvelous practice !
And moreover everything is beautiful in this video, you and your graceful gestures and the location 🌺💮.
😊🙏🌻
Thank you for watching and practicing and appreciating too!
Merci beaucoup Mimi je pratique tous les jours avec vous!
🙏
Thank you. I love these exercises and particularly the way you guide us through them. Many thanks
You're so welcome! Thank you for being here x
Mimi, thank you so much for your videos. After watching only one of them you quickly became my favorite. This 5 elements video is most perfect for me as I work to bring my chi back in balance after cancer surgery and the subsequent lymphedema. This after hemi-paralysis from a car wreck in 1983 that left me with huge physical challenges and unbalanced my body despite everything I had learned from earlier practice of martial arts since I did not fully understand chi energy at the time.
I will be following along with you every morning (this video especially.) I am in deep gratitude for you and discovering your videos!
Thank you for your lovely words Barbara! I hope your practice is still going well. Much love x
Благодарю за фильм и Ваш энтузиазм делиться со знаниями с другими , живущими на планете )))
🙏
Thanks for sharing the wonderful practice-full support from yoga/meditation music channel friend in UK ❤️🎹💚❤️
Thank you for your support!!
QiGong 8 brocades is great, but this 5 elements is really awesome and wonderful beautiful and Deep Power. Many thanks and my best wishes for you, practicing this form is extremely grounding!
thanks! so glad to hear you enjoyed it. I find it very grounding as well. All the best to you!
Thank you for your video. I love it and your beautiful movements. I have just started Qigong. My work incorporates mime, masks and theater so I really appreciate and can identify with the mime- like movements. Thank you so much !
I follow along with you 2 to 3 times a week, Mimi. This is one of my regular "go to" videos and I love it! Blessings to you.
This is great to hear, thank you for sharing with me! I hope you still enjoy your practice :)
This video is very good! I like the way she explains what the movements do for your body and mind! The setting is very beautiful and peaceful as well. I will try to do this workout, but I won't be near as graceful and elegant as she does! :)
Thanks again Mimi. This is such a great new part of my life. Cheers.
You're so welcome! I am glad to hear this :)
Wonderful, graceful morning practice. Thank you!
Beautiful! I love your very precise and accessible way of presenting this work. I look forward to adding the element of Water to my TaijiFit class tomorrow! The perfect antidote for a full day of teaching Yoga, Tai Chi, and Nia.
Thanks kindly for your reply Mimi, this helps a great deal! I love the idea of moving as a right does :) Will keep that in mind when doing this practice.
Love all your videos, Mimi, please keep posting more of them.
I THANK YOU FROM THE BOTTOM OF MY HEART!!!! QI GONG HAS DRAMATICALLY IMPROVE MY LIFE! what simple still quiet motions. i hope you are alright, hope to see new postings in the future!
Try Falun Gong. Its even better. joyofsatan ministry forum,,,, 666blacksun....
You are so welcome!
My favorita short ‘wake the body up’ routine before weight training... thank you. 🙏
Glad you liked it and that you use it when it works for you!
Thank you so much for sharing this video and art. I have always wanted to try Qigong, and I am really enjoying beginning with this video. I have been doing it for a couple of days and I am going to keep trying everyday.
Thank you for this. I feel like my body's been craving the water element with dry skin, eyes, and a sense of being stuck. I did this flow just once and I already feel more loose and open.
Thanks Mini! I must have used your video 101 times. Heal on!
