Tom Bisio – Five Animal Play Qi Gong
An incredible Qi Gong system based on imitating the natural movements of animals
Improve Your Health & Vitality
Five Animal Play (Wu Qin Xi) is one of the oldest forms of Qi Gong. As early as 300 BCE, Daoist Immortals performed shamanic dances that imitated animals. Hua Tuo, the legendary physician of the late Han Dynasty learned these dances and created Five Animal Play.
In this version of Five Animal Play, each animal has a unique walking step that activates different organ and meridian systems,
and each modulates the movement of the Qi in specific ways.
The Power Of Imitating The Gait Of Animals
The health and physical capabilities of human beings can be greatly enhanced by moving like specific animals, and in particular, by imitating the way different animals walk. Walking is one of our most primal movements. Walking contains inherent rhythms, a product of internal movements created by the external movements coupled with the Mind-Intention.
In Five Animal Play, different modes of walking create specific patterns of internal vibrations, pulsations, and waves that move through the body’s largely fluid composition, each homing to and affecting different organs, meridians, and physical structures.
When you practice Five Animal Play, you directly experience the power and potency of each animal – the slow, stable gait of the Bear, the lightness and flexibility of the Bird, the Deer’s relaxed limberness, the Tiger’s power and strength, and the agility and liveliness of the Monkey. While imitating the external physical movements of the animals, you are also engaging with the spirit and the innate internal power dynamic particular to each animal, which in turn produce benefits to both body and mind
This rare and unique version of Five Animal Play produces internal changes and health benefits that are palpable and immediate, while simultaneously giving you access to a profound self-cultivation practice that deepens over time.
