IN my previous article, I described several variations of doing qigong while sitting and lying down. I also went into some detail about stretching exercises. Today I will teach several variations of the standing qigong.
The basic qigong stance described previously (standing with bent knees and arms by the side) is common to most qigong styles. In Guolin Qigong, those with hypertension (high blood pressure), hyperlipidaemia (high lipids), or hyperglycaemia (high blood sugar) should ensure that their fingers point downwards (Fig. 1-2 ). Those with hypotension (low blood pressure), hypoglyacemia (low blood sugar) or anaemia (low haemoglobin) should place their hands in front at the outer part of the lower abdomen, with the palms facing up ( Fig. 1-3 ).
