Introduction
Qi gong, which is also known as Chi kung, as the name indicates, is the Chinese healing practice and originated almost 3000 years ago. The name is Chinese, but the effect is completely natural, and we can incorporate it into our daily activities such as clapping. And this therapy does not require any additional time; it can be done while walking, traveling, or sitting, and the benefits include improved blood circulation, glowing skin, and many more.
Meaning of word QI GONG
Qi is the subtle breath or vital energy, and Gong is a skill learned through consistent practice. This traditional Chinese system of physical exercises, controlled breathing, and mental focusing aims to improve balance, concentration, muscle strength, blood circulation, and overall health.
QI GONG Therapy
1. Tapping: A Variant Of Qi Gong
- QI gong, also known as self-massage, is an ancient practice that involves simple movements on body meridian points, which manage acupressure and acupuncture to increase energy flow. The therapy stimulates meridian points to release energy and balance the mind and body.
- This includes warm-up, activation, and energy flow.
- Warm up by rubbing your hands together automatically; this will generate heat on the hands, and then the blood will rise to the surface; qi gong follows the blood, so you must bring the blood to the surface.
- Activation for positive energy flow—this can be done when you are stressed or unable to make a decision.
- Starting from the top of the body, tapping between the brows activates both the pituitary gland and the Agya chakra. The pituitary gland, also known as the master gland, regulates the body’s main functions and hormones, such as growth hormones, reproductive organ stimulation, how the body converts and uses food energy, and many more.
- Tap on the top of the head, i.e. crown; this will activate neuron cells and nerves and enhance the signaling process. It is essential to exercise our brain on a daily basis to keep it sharp and potential, as well as to reduce the risk of neurological disorders and dementia, reduce stress, and continue secreting happy hormones by calming the mind.
- After this, tap on each edge of the eyes, i.e., the temporal area—also called calming therapy as it will calm the nerves and provide calmness. Like many people used to seeing screens for 12 hours or more , so one must activate the eye nerves very well in between the work.
- Now, tap below the eyes, i.e, the cheekbone; it has the blood circulation and oxygenation to deliver nutrients, hydrations and essential minerals to the skin.
- Tapping in between the upper lip and nose will also increase the flow of blood and oxygen to the brain, which is important. These are the revival points.
- And thereby tapping in between the lower lip and Chin, i.e. on the labeo mantle groove. This will assist your mood whenever you feel angry or frustrated.
- By tapping behind the ears, this will relieve the feeling of stuffiness and also help with ear problems such as Tinnitus. Migraine problems will also be reduced.
- By tapping at the middle base of the skull, you activate your pineal gland that controls the serotonin levels. This will overall control our mood and work with the melatonin that balances our sleep and wake-up cycles.
- By tapping below the throat, which is the sternum, this will activate the Vishudh chakra and Thymus gland. Thereby enhancing immunity.
- By tapping on the sides of the throat, this will improve the functioning of the thyroid gland. And help in balancing the TSH levels; also protect us from diseases like hypothyroidism, goiter disease, etc.
- Tapping on the wrist will help our body to deal with the signals and response immediately and give a quick signal to the brain.
2. Qi Gong Tapping For Particular Organ Health
- By tapping our thumbs and index fingers together, it will help to maintain our lungs and large intestine health. As the thumb indicates our lungs and the index finger indicates the large intestine, this will help with breathing issues and digestion problems.
- Tap the ring fingers; these are connected with our heart and small intestines. This will regulate the circadian rhythms, heart pumping and the digestion process as well.
- By tapping on the wrist, as it is connected with our reproductive organs. And help manage the sex hormones as well. The body vibrations while tapping help in balancing the overall reproductive health.
- By tapping and engaging the fingers of both hands, this is connected with both the left and right parts of the brain and helps coordination.
3. Qi Gong Tapping Points For Several Diseases

- Hypertension: For hypertension we have the “three minute formula” as there are three exercises of three minutes.
- Toe tapping: Lie down on the bed, couch, or floor and tap the outer parts of your toes together for one minute, one to two taps per second. Take a moment to relax and breathe deeply.
- Chest tapping: Using an open hand, make a fist or use the tips of your fingers to tap on the sides of your chest one to two times per second for one minute. Then take a deep breath and relax for a minute.
- Belly tapping: Make a fist by folding your fingers and tap below the belly button and above the pubic bone, synchronizing the taps with knee bends, one to two taps per second.
4. Qi Gong Tapping For Skin Health
Everyone wants to look good and have glowing skin. Without a doubt, qi gong tapping is a natural, cost-effective, and long-lasting therapy. Everyone uses chemical products to make their skin glow, which completely damage the skin cells and degrade the body’s anti-aging power.
