To anybody who's reading this, I pray that whatever is hurting you or whatever you are constantly stressing about gets better. May the dark thoughts, the overthinking, and the doubt exit your mind. May clarity replace confusion. May peace and calmness fill your life. 🙏
Thank you!

You must be determined that these episodes will help your Happiness and physical well being and IT WILL. It has been most profitable for my posture and my respiratory system. STAY THE COURSE! folks.... Big Smiles. CMJ Canada
You have been one of the most ardent supporters of Qigong and this video since it came online. Many viewers and I are very grateful to you for taking the time to share your experience with us. You are on your way , as I do, to enjoy fully the benefit of this wonderful practice. Thank you and God bless!
@@eightpieces Thank You Dear Lady.
You are inspiration to youngsters .
Just started this as a daily routine yesterday and I can already feel body and mind receiving its effects. Thank you so much for posting this and helping me find peace throughout the day. I feel like I can finally put anger and frustration behind me.
I feel amazing ty
This is very helpful for a beginner like me. No long lectures or distracting music, just natural background sounds and clear, elegant movement which I can learn from by example. Thank you for this.
You are very welcome. I am delighted this works for you. Please pay special attention to the deep-breathing, which is a very important part of the exercise and benefits. Have fun and good health!
I agree! Those are the exact things I love about Judy’s routine. Thank you, Judy!
Started doing this 5 years ago when I was in rehab for opiates. Still clean and practice it daily
That is so great!
@@amyoungil Thank you
Absolutely wonderful. You inspire our viewers with your courage and discipline. Thank you so much for sharing!
@@eightpieces thank you for the kind words
@@joeyw7325 That is incredibly cool Big discipline 👌🏼
I love that no one talks during this video... Such peacefulness ✨
We also enjoy the peace and calmness. thanks for sharing your experience!
When I started doing the 2nd exercise (upholding the sky) for some reason, I thought to myself... this little lady is smiling and doing what she can to help anyone in the world. Oddly enough I thought about my grandmother and starting crying. What a release. Thank you so much! I'm going to get my wife to do it w me.
Thank you for the kindest message! I am so happy this exercise was able to bring to you a real sense of peace and relaxation. Enjoy and a happy new year to you!
I love this excercise. I wish that this beautiful,silent lady will do more. I can’t stand all the talk on so many Qigong videos. This is pure peace. ❤
Judy is a real teacher. She doesn't use ego drama. Very simple step by step direction. This is what makes a truly great teacher. Thank you Judy Young.
Perhaps best referred respectfully as Teacher or “SIFU” sir....
Just happy to share!
Forever Young ❤️
She cracks me up man. She has so much youth and exuberance. Love the slight smile she keeps when doing her practice which reminds me to enjoy it and not take it too seriously
Exactly! You really got my points. Thanks for sharing!
I like how the notes show when to Inhale and Exhale!
You commented on he most important point. Slow, smooth, and deep breathing is key to qigong exercises. This video helps the users to achieve successful breathing.
@@eightpieces it's like by yoga.
Thank you i never noticed that❤💋
Oh my...every aspect of this video is so wonderful. No talking, bird accompaniment, simple instructions and best teacher.
Thank you for your kind comments. Enjoy and good health to you!
I am 69 and look forward to this every morning as part of my daily routine. It has helped my breathing and general fitness.
Thank you so much for sharing your experience with our viewers. I also do this every morning. It has helped me to stay well and fit. I am thankful.
I love that the whole video has no speech, just the bird singing🤩🤩 Qigong is truly a gift that allows us to tap into our body's innate wisdom and tap into the boundless energy of the universe. This video has not only taught me valuable techniques for self-care but has also inspired me to explore further into the world of Qigong and its numerous benefits. ❤❤
Thank you for sharing your thoughts. Qigong exercises are so good for our health. I am happy to share with you. Enjoy and good health to you!
Till now 550 days .
Doing regularly this practice.
My age is 62.
No fear about viruses.
My gratitude to you.

"Till now" is indeed a nice way to put it! :D
Marvelous tenacity and persistence. Perfect for Qigong practioners. Keep up the good work. Enjoy and good health to you!
Friends at 8am and 8pm wherever we are we will express our gratitude for 8 brocade teacher for few seconds. In this birth this is the rare gift of breathing exercise. Thank you.
So glad you like this video. Thanks for your kind comments.
Well I commented on first finding this and said that I would update my thoughts after having practised this for a few days. It's been 10 days...I now don't have to look at the breathing guidance because my body has already worked out when to inhale and exhale...it just seems to happen so organically! I do this sequence before anything else and have found that I don't really want to look at or check my phone or engage in any tech...for some while afterwards!This is a real little gem and I'm so glad I stumbled upon this version. The birdsong is exquisite.🙏🙏💜
That is absolutely wonderful. When you practice with concentration and patience, you will receive all the benefits from qigong. Enjoy and good health to you.
Tnx for explanining, i going to try like you did for some days and see if i find peace
@@AnthonyCaliSweden you will....trust me !💜🙏
I am a massage therapist and frequently recommend this video to my clients. I use it myself and love the peace, the calm, the quiet. I love also that there isn't annoying music or talking. Thank you, teacher.
Thank you for sharing your experience. Your comments mean a lot to me and to my viewers who practice with this video.
A very nice comment indeed.... CMJ Canada
Ft j he jcf
I’ve tried a lot of RUclips videos and realized the instructor has a lot of impact on the vibe . This lady has nothing to prove almost like no ego, so for me this video is so soothing her energy is so calming. This is my favourite Qigong video by far. I love her smile
Thank you. Sharing this jewel of an exercise is all I want. So glad it works for you.
Many thanks for your kind words. I am delighted to share my routines with you!
Great. Thats something nearly EVERYBODY can do, and without all that talking....i love it. Thanx, Ma'am. Tom.
Wonderful. I am a psychiatrist, locked down during Covid-19 and now wildfire smoke in Oregon. This practice is keeping me sane. I’m referring a lot of patients to this video. Thank you!
You are most welcome. So glad to hear that you are finding this helpful in difficult times. We have made this video available here so that anyone can access it, anytime. Best wishes!
I am a recovering addict who started following qigong for the past 4 months. I practice it everyday and it totally changed the way I treat my body and the world. I'm so grateful for these videos
I’m so proud of you!! You’re doing so well ❤️
Your message worms my heat. Thank you so much for sharing your experience. Keep up the good work. Enjoy a simple life and good health!
I just saw your comment, I hope & wish you are still on your finding life path.
If you on the life path, bravo, & good luck. If you're off of it, it's ok, just get back on it & use all the tools that you have. It's worth it to try🤞
@@davidcarlson6397 Thank you for checking up. I managed to make a lot of change and improve my mental health. I am meditation daily for months now which helped me so much. Qigong helped removed blockages and I feel lighter than ever before, this path is truly priceless
Mr Jensen is inspiring me. I am 81 and try to practice 3 times per week. My whole body feels impacted in a refreshing way. Here's to more hours...thank you, teacher
Mr. Jensen is very kind to share his good experience with his friends. I am very grateful. Hope you enjoy the exercises and good health!
This practice with no talking except birds brought such peace and presence. Thank you from the bottom of my heart.
Thank you. I am delighted that you enjoy these exercises.
So effortless , I do it everyday . My sleep improved . Pain in my neck and lower back gone which was haunting me for years. Thanks to this kind hearted angel !
How wonderful! Thanks so much for sharing your experience!
@@eightpieces can this cure cancer and develop nei gong?
thank you grandmother, for showing us what being one with everything looks like - much respect.
You are most welcome. It is my pleasure to share these ancient exercises with you. Have fun and good health to you@
I’m loving this practice and have been doing it in the mornings. I like that the instructions are written and only the birds are speaking. So peaceful.
yes, so much better and easier to follow without someone filling your head with lots of thoughts
Thank you. Enjoy exercising and good health to you!
I've practiced tai chi chuan and chi gong for over thirty years, and watched innumerable videos of both tai chi and chi gong. It's rare to see someone exude such sincerity and such presence in a video of this type. Just watching her is chi gong. I wish I knew her personally. I imagine she is charming.
I enjoy practicing Qigong, believe in its many benefits, and truly want to share it with viewers of this video. Thanks so much for recognizing my sincerity. I am humbled by your kind praises.
Such exacting sentiments, I too have similar story and agree, thanks Judy
im 18 but hoping to try this with my 64 year old grandma so she’s not sitting around all day because of quarantine!!
Hi Emily! This is a great idea for your grandma.. And for you... I did qigong in a class a few years ago and it's fantastic. All if my aches and pains disappeared and I regained strength.. I hope you enjoy!
@@leighmastrarrigo7164 Thank you for sharing your experience! You are so right. This is great for persons 18 or 64 years of age. It is good during quarantine and for years to come.
Have fun working out with your grandma!
So nice! Been sitting with manic energy for weeks not knowing what to do with myself, can't concentrate, etc.... did this and can't stop smiling. All the excess energy has gone away but I feel alert and focused :)
It is wonderful to hear from you. Thank you! Keep up with the good work and continue to enjoy the peace and joy that come with qigong practice.
I discovered 8 pieces of silk brocade about three months ago & practice daily. I find a reduction in unilateral neck & shoulder pain that are often worse than the migraine they precede, am waking up less stiff. Thank you and God bless.
Wonderful to hear that your daily practice is helping you so much. Thank you for sharing your experience, and best wishes!
This was the first video I learned Qigong from, and still by far the best. I wish they were all like this: teaching slowly, carefully and repeating each move a few times, not just doing it once and "follow along". Kudos for the best Qigong video on RUclips!
WOW! Thanks for giving us such high marks. Glad you enjoy this video. We are happy to present it.
I've been practicing this daily for 5 weeks and really feeling the lasting calming benefits. Thank you so much. I love the video, especially the birdsong and lack of verbal instruction.
So happy you enjoy the video. We also like to practice qigong exercises with nature. Have fun and good health to you!
The most beautiful practice I’ve encountered online, and I’ve tried quite a few.
Earlier or later I always come back to it. Thank you
Thank you for your kind words. You are very welcome. It is here all the time for you.
I did this everyday during the 2020 lockdown and it truly kept me sane. I've found it again now in my busy, busy life and it keeps me sane all over again. Thank you for a wonderful 20 minutes.
Thank you for sharing your experience. Many viewers find this routine helpful during the pandemic lockdown.
I did tai chi for many years, Yang style and Chen, but somehow I stoped and forgot the movements. I used to love so much and it was very important in my development and health. At this quarantine time I was looking for simple qigong exercices and I found this. I love your smiling face, the sounds of birds, the silence and concentration, the sun at your face. I do it every day with all my presence and I feel my legs stronger, the capacity of my lungs expanding and a state of peace. Thank you so much for being there. Keep safe and healthy :)
Love from Brasil
Thank you so much for sending your experience from Brasil. I am so glad this Qigong video found you. Enjoy the exercise and good health to you!

my dad started doing taichi since he was a kid taught by by granddad. i started to do this qigong routine for about 1 month ago. and seriously i felt more healthy, fresh, positive. i really really recommend doing this routine. thank you so much for sharing!
You are very welcome! Thank you for sharing your thoughts and experience. It will help lots of viewers to start practicing routinely! Good health to you!
I referred this video to so many people on line who have no clues about qi gong. And each time I come back to get the title and heading, I still watch her, listen to the music and love her so much. She lifts my spirit and makes me think of the number of people she has helped to alleviate their suffering. My deepest gratitude each day to her and Eight Pieces staff.
. I am very glad you found this video helpful. Your kind comments have no doubt helped many to try qigong for the first time and benefit from their practice. Thank you so much!
Came upon this video randomly, decided to get up from my chair and do it. I swear I could feel it right away. I'll be doing this daily now. Thank you!
I am glad you found this video randomly. Your comment may inspire more viewers to give qigong a try. They will find this helpful. Thank you so much!
This video is so peaceful that even the sound of the huge truck driving by is relaxing haha
Amazing! Thank you for letting us know.
I have been doing this every morning (except for three days I believe) for 5 months and I love it. This lady is my favourite Asian lady. She helped me in many ways, especially with my breathing, keeping my energy’s high and keeping my chakras in balance. I’m eternally thankful, thank you!
Thank you so much for your kind comments. I am honored to share these ancient treasures with you. Continue the good work. Enjoy and good health to you!
Stay the course Mr. Biden. I have been doing this for more than two years. It could change your life if you let.... CMJ (Canada)
I only began QiGong about 3 weeks ago and I love this practice which is now an integral part of my day. The Crane spreading its wing is the most calming tranquil move I have ever done in any Yoga or other practice
It is so good that we could practice these calming and energizing exercises together. Please keep up the good work. Have fun and enjoy the health benefits.
oh my goodness..... whilst looking for a beginners Qi Gong video I came across this!!!! What a little gem!
What instantly appeals to me is the fact that there are no spoken words....in fact the birdsong, I think, is a real bonus...it seems to add to the serenity of the exercise and increase the feeling of wellbeing.
I haven't yet performed the movements.....BUT I just know that I can already sense that this is going to become my regular go-to .
I'll keep you updated on my progress...and I'll check out your other two videos too.
🙏
We are delighted and proud to share these qigong exercises with you. Your enjoyment and encouragement made it all worthwhile. We are fortunate to have a talented videographer who made it all possible. Enjoy the peace, serenity, and good health as you do the exercises.
Friends my age is 61. I successfully completed my 175th day eight brocade qigong. Thanks to the teacher.
Fantastic! Keep up the good work. You will enjoy many years of good health and good spirit. Thanks for sharing your progress.
Super great!
That is soooo Wonderful Ms. Kumar. I am a long termer as well. Stay the course. CMJ Canada
I just moved to a new city for work, I know nobody here and the flat doesn't completely feel like home yet. So I've been very anxious and my panic attacks are getting out of hand again so I decided to try this alongside my anxiety medicine since my doctor recommended it. And it has helped a ton. Thank you so much for sharing this routine with us.
keep doing everyday if possible,you will see the difference,just stick to this routine nothing more or less, let be peace with you...
@@gravitas3900 You are so kind to share your thoughts. And yes, doing this routine daily is very good in keeping us calm, relaxed, and energized. Best of health to you and Sylva Mori!
Hi Sylva..,.we don't know each other, but i send you my best vibrations of Love and Light..don't forget, you are worthy, beautiful and loved. Best regard.
And about three years after finding this amazing lady, this keeps on giving me the same blissful feeling of peace.
Gracias y gracias.
Hope you’re doing very well.
Good to know you have done with for three years. Keep up the good work. Enjoy and good health to you. Thanks for sharing your experience.
I just started and i love it , easy to doe. I am 76 years.Thank you for posting it
You have picked an excellent time to start doing qigong. You will notice the benefits very soon. Have fun and good health to you!
I've been doing this daily for a month, what an improvement in my overall fitness and well being. So gentle and meditative! I'm 62 and plan to do this for the rest of my life.
You are so wise! I made the same choice and still enjoy the benefit. Thank you for sharing and good health to you!
I am a long time practitioner of this exercise. Stay the course. You will grow as time moves ahead. This could change your life if you let it. CMJ Canada
Wow sounds promising 😊💙
I love this so much because it has written instructions, breathing instructions, such flow, warm up and in silence. Brilliant!
Thank you. Have fun exercising and good health to you!
I love this daily routine; and the peacefulness of the singing birds. So calming in these difficult times...
I am delighted that you enjoy this version of qigong exercises. Have fun and good health to you!
I've noticed this exercise relieves cough. It's not the first time that it helps me when I'm coughing. This morning I was coughing before and during the exercise. When I finished the cough disappeared.
The movements in this exercise encourage slow and deep breathing. This way, you gain more oxygen and increase your lung capacity. It is especially helpful in the long run to calm your lungs and eliminates cough due to spasms.
Excellent video. No talking, simple and clear directions. Perfect.
Thank you! So glad you prefer not to have verbal instructions. We feel the same!
Her smile is so contagious and vibrant! Blessings!
Thanks! :D
I have searched for a video for a first time Qi Gong and this is the one I picked; I love that there is no talking and even no music, just birds singing and how fluent yet simple and relaxed movement is... Thank you so much, you have me started to something precious, I will keep following you and will try to practice with you every day.
Wonderful to hear that this video found its way to you. After a short time, I found that Qigong practice became part of my daily routine because I felt clear benefits. I wish the same benefits to you in 2022. Best wishes.
I've been sick a long time. I'm trying to build back up.. I can really feel these movements. I took a break after 13 minutes.. but my hands are warm. The breathing at the right time the right way is something I'll have to get used to..
I will continue in a minute.. Thank you for uploading these!
These gentle exercises are helpful to do during convalescence. You are right in taking a break when you feel tired. Deep-breathing is very helpful. It takes time to get used to it. Be patient with yourself but don't give up.
@@eightpieces Thank you.. seriously.. it's hard to get back up sometimes. ❤️
Thank you. I do the Eight Pieces every day, at the end of the day, and it calms and relaxes me. Lovely to have no music or speech, only the sounds of birds.
So glad you enjoy doing these exercises. We also love the sounds of birds! Thank you for your kind words.
Very beautiful video, so nice to see a traditional experienced lady, rather than a hippy lady or buffed man teaching.
Thank you! So glad you enjoy this video. Have fun and good health to you!
This lady has a wonderful
Energy. Beautiful smile and excellent movements. I would love to know the amount of decades she has been practicing! Most authentic version I’ve seen so far.
Thank you for your kind comments. I have indeed spent many decades practicing. It keeps me going, feeling happy and strong.
@@eightpieces just about to start teaching a class in The Cayman Islands, resident acupuncturist here. Nice to meet you ma’am. Thank you for your videos.
When I had a minor concussion and was feeling nauseous this past summer, I practiced this routine 2 or 3 times a day (morning, midday, and evening). Nothing else helped, but this did wonders for my pain and equilibrium! In 2 days I was feeling 100% better. Thank you again for this wonderful practice:) Many blessings to you.
I am well aware of the benefits of qigong for improving general health. Your comments helped me to understand the effectiveness of frequent practicing for specific ailments. Thank you so much for sharing your experience. Good health to you!
Beautiful, well made video. So sad, that odd people chose to put thumbs down - unexplainable! This woman is a fine teacher/demonstrator and the filming is extremely well done as it focuses on the important movement changes
Thank you for your very kind praises. We made a sincere effort to bring out the important movement changes as well as the timing for deep-breathing. A majority of our viewers prefer the birds chirping in the background. They did not miss the verbal instructions.
I used to play competitive sports and more intensive work out routines. Ate a lot, but worked out a lot. Now that I am older I find this type of exercise to be mentally and physically superior in many ways unless someone is training for a sport. The breathing, complete motions and relaxing the mind, carry benefits throughout the day.
I love the quiet of this exercise. Thank you for honoring the silence.
So happy you enjoy the silence. Have fun exercising!
Good morning, I found you over 2 years ago, and enjoy your Qigong massages and the routine. It brings me so much peace. The background music of nature is wonderful.Thank you for posting your wisdom ! Blessings!
Thank you for sharing your experience. I hope your routine qigong practice brought good health and much peace.
@@eightpieces Many thanks
I totally admire this lady. Her presentation is simple clear and beautiful. I also love the silence so I can play it every day.
Thank you. Silence is indeed gold ...
I am 92 & it’s part of my day thank you
Masterji three months back I asked your age and you said soon I cross 82. Advance birthday greetings. Past 90 days without break I am doing this practice and winning my stress and family problems. My sincere gratitude to you.
Ninety days of practice without a break! That's imply great. Thanks for keeping in touch. It makes me happy to know this video is helpful to you.
Three months is indeed a wonderful milestone!
this is a grandma that inspires the whole world in term of mental and physical health. THANK YOU !!
Thank you for such kind comments. It is my pleasure to share these ancient treasures with the world!
I have osteporosis, scoliosis and copd and have started doing this, watching you carefully. Absolutely the best teacher with lovely bird songs in the background. Thank you so much for putting this up. x
I hoe persistent qigong exercises provide help and relief for your problems. Thank you for your kind comments.
And what about your breathing
@@elmiramuradova561 Because of limited lung capacity, for an in breath I have to do in out in and for an out breath I have to do out in out. I also have to cut down on the number of repetitions but overall I manage to do the routine and I find it calming and centering and feel better mentally and physically after doing it.
I absolutely love this routine. I find myself coming back to it often. The serenity I feel when practicing while listening to the beautiful birds is unreal. Thank you so much 🙏🏻❤️
You are welcome. Thank you for sharing your experience.
The sound of birds and a wonderful smile.
Nature is lovely. We just have to pause long enough to hear them ... Thanks for sharing your thoughts.
@@eightpieces muito bom !
This was my introduction to Qi Gong. I started doing this over lockdown and I really enjoy it. It is at once calming and energising.
The lockdown has brought many new friends to our Qigong exercises. We are grateful for the opportunity to share. Thank you for writing about your experience.
I have decided to try ChiQong first time from this video and absolutely love every minutes of this.
Love every aspects: the teacher, the greenery, the bird sounds, the moves, the simple and easy to follow notes without disturbing the peace.
Thank you so much for making such a wonderful video to guide us all.
We presented this video the way we want qigong to be shared. Glad it works well for you in every aspect. Thanks so much for your kind comments. And many thanks to our talented videographer.
I discovered this video during the first covid lockdown in 2020. What a blessing!
Thank you for sharing your experience. These exercises are most beneficial during stressful times.
I want to thank you for this video. During the confinement it has healed our sore backs after sitting in front of the computer all day.
Exactly! This gentle exercise is so good to relax and revitalize your day. Thanks for writing!
This is by far the best qigong routine on youtube. All the rest are much too fast
Thank you!
@@eightpieces aa
Ooh yes! The best. 👍
Thank you, thank you,thank you!
I cant other say. Do it and feel
@eight pieces the qigong excerise is briliant. I saw the self massage videos, but wonder if there is a chance you will add more of the qigong manuvers to practice.
This a wonderful video with a caring teacher that never stops giving. Have been doing this now for four years - first thing in the morning - and it never gets old or tiresome. You can FEEL the difference it makes.
Giving this exercise video four years of your time is remarkable. I know how well it works for you, because I do it daily for decades and still benefits from it. Thank you so much for your kindness in sharing your experience with us.
Now three years of daily practice - and I can truly feel the positive benefits it has brought. Thank for having put so much care and love into the presentation.
Wow! That is wonderful. I can only share the video. But you can tell us the benefits you feel after three years of practice. Your are an inspiration for other viewer! Thank you!
That is soooo wonderful. You now have reaped the rewards we share.... CMJ
I’m forever grateful for RUclips’s algorithm for suggesting me this video
We also appreciate RUclips because we can share this with you. Enjoy!
This is one of my favorite Qi Gong videos. I watch it over and over. My wife and I have started doing Qi Gong exercises every day. We were already in Tai Chi classes, but Qi Gong has brought in an added dimension to our daily exercise routine. I guess you can say we are in our "golden years", and it can be difficult to find activities that don't kill us off. Tai Chi and Qi Gong are relaxing, as well as a great way to improve our balance and range of motion. We search the web for favorite exercises and create our on routines to follow here on RUclips. Thank you so much for creating this video!
I am glad you enjoy Tai Chi and Qigong exercise. There are a great many benefits, especially when you do it daily. Thanks for sharing your experience with our viewers!
I have been doing this routine every morning for 6 months and my body and mind changing very much in this short time!
All for the better! I am very sure. Thanks for sharing your experience.
You go Girl !!!! CMJ Canada
Thank you for this wonderful sequence. I’m new to Qigong and this is exactly what I need to create a daily practice.
And on an aesthetic note this looks and sounds so wonderful, it’s such a joy to follow along.
I am so happy that this is video is helping you to discover Qigong. I will tell our videographer that you enjoy the look and sounds. Thank you.
I love these exercises. This woman is so relaxing and beautiful. Thank you for your upload.
You are very welcome. I am glad you enjoy this routine. Have fun and good health to you!
You look like a lovely lady, it’s relaxing see you doing those movement and I am going to practice it with my mom; she is 90 years old. The place is beautiful, thank you so much.💖
This is the perfect exercise for everyone, 90 or 9 year old. Hope you both enjoy the peaceful energy!
This is the second day of doing this and I intend to maintain this as my morning ritual. It is wonderful and so calming. Excellent tuition and love that there is no talking over the top. Thank you.
So glad you like this. Your enjoyment and good health is our best reward.
How blessed are we that we have access to such a powerful, healing practice right at our fingertips 🙏
I am so happy to share these treasures with you. Thanks for the kind comments!
A perfect illustration of the 8 brocades. So easy to follow without irritating commentary, good camera angles and I enjoy the birdsong in the background.
Glad you enjoy the feel of nature in this video. Thanks for sharing your experience.
Best Qigong exercises!!! Love them. Very simple but very powerful. I felt the energy immediately. I love that they're simple. Helps me especially after a brain tumor surgery and stroke 3 yrs ago...my memory has been challenged. Thank you so much!!!
It warms my heart to know that this exercise is right for you. It is gentle. It increases your oxygen intake to help you rejuvenate. I am thankful for this video to have found you. Thank you so much for sharing your experience with us.
You're so kind. I am grateful to have found you as well.
I now have more energy and feel very peaceful.
I have short term memory damage due to the stroke but I believe that this will improve greatly in time. Ironically, I remember my dreams almost daily and shortly after I started your Qigong exercises, I now remember multiple dreams when I wake up. 😁
Although we do not understand how the neural circuits work in the brain, more activity is definitely encouraging. Happy to hear this.
Last week when I did the warm up exercise rising my hands upwards to my face I could feel a wind blowing in my face. Normally I can feel a small bit of wind in my hand during the practice but this was something new for me. I feel blessed to have the opportunity to practice this beautiful practice, it completes my morning routine.
I believe if we would have more qigong practitioners in this world it would be a better world to live in, thank you for spreading this knowledge around to the public on RUclips, you’re an angel.
This is truly an amazing routine. Gentle yet powerful. I am happy to share with all my viewing friends. Thank you for your kind comments!
If it weren’t for this my life would have taken me in a totally different direction
Thank you :)

I had a little injury and was happy that I found this gentle Qigong movements video. Love that sweet lady. She reminds me of my granny. Please more videos with this precious lady!
A famous martial arts instructor practice Baduanjin after suffering a major injury. He was so impressed with this gentle set of movements that he became a devoted teacher. I am glad you share the same findings. Please look up the two videos on Qigong self-massage by Qigong Judy. You may also like them.

Thank you for sharing. Ive introduced my 98 grandmother she enjoyed it and has embraced it. 🙏
That is truly wonderful. This exercise sequence is gentle and beneficial for 8 or 98 year old people.
It was so difficult to get out of bed and do this today, but I am so grateful I did. Such a nourishing presence and practice to start my day alongside, thank you so much!
Some days are worse than other day. But once you are up, doing this routine will help energize you for the entire day. It is a good incentive. Have fun and good health!
@@eightpieces Thank you! Such kindness.
This form of the eight brocades is very gentle making it very suitable for seniors. The explanations are excellent and the smooth transitions between each brocade makes the whole exercise a moving meditation. Many thanks
So glad you enjoy this form of the 8 Brocades. Thank you for taking time to share your experience with our viewers. Enjoy and good health to you!
This is a great little gem. In just a few minutes it captures the important elements, and its setting on a beautiful day in a meadow adds to it. Qigong is all about slow, graceful, complete movements and breathing coordinated with each movement. Pay careful attention to the inhale and exhale of each exercise; they work together. I recommend Qigong to singers as a warm-up, but anyone would benefit. It's difficult to describe how it differs from just doing calisthenics (rough, rapid movement and uncoordinated breathing): you will definitely feel that you've had a workout, but you'll feel energized, not exhausted. Both have their place, but this is a clear favorite for me.
You certainly have a fine sense of what is qigong is all about, and I am so pleased that you enjoy this video. We appreciate that you share your thoughts and encourage others!
Literally the best video on RUclips.
Thank you so much! Really appreciate your kind remarks. Enjoy and good health to you!
Hi , I have an very new to this practise . Can I watch this video and practise and learn .
This is much more than simply exercising. Leaves me to wonder why this is not taught in the schools here in the states. This is a science that has evolved into an art. In church, you hear YOUR BODY IS YOUR TEMPLE, but they do not teach you how to take care of your temple. We should have been following suit.
Very well said. This is a simple exercise to nourish the body and calm the spirit. It is also good training for patience, confidence, and tenacity. Thank you for sharing your thoughts!
@@eightpieces NO Thank You I have always loved and have respected the arts. They are a cornerstone in eastern culture we are centuries behind. it would do soooo much good.
The Hebrew Scriptures (The Old Testament) certainly instructs what foods to avoid (clean and unclean meats). But people don’t like to be told what not to do. Your body is the Temple of the Holy Spirit and you are not your own. CMJ Canada
