Brief description of the method, lift the Qi up and fill the body with it.
The name of the first dynamic Gong in the Zhineng Qigong tradition is: “Hold Qi with your hands and fill the body with it.” The exercise is based on the essence of this tradition. “Hold Qi with your hands and fill your body with it” (Pěng qì 捧 氣), means raising your hands up the natural Hunyuan Qi. Fill Qi (Guàn dǐng 貫 頂) means filling the body with energy held above the head and penetrating the whole body. It is important that the word “Guàn 貫” is used in the Chinese description, and not “Guàn 灌”, because there is a slight difference between them. “Guàn 灌” means filling between stones (solids or something solid), while “Guàn 貫” means penetrating into a solid, stone. This means the penetration of all solids, not just the human body. So it’s not only the name of the exercise, but also the essence of the first Gong.
