Guest guest Posted July 3, 2005 Report Share Posted July 3, 2005 Hi Houston, By healing sounds, do you mean a chant? Or is it a sound that is listened to while doing the different moves?

Guest guest Posted July 3, 2005 Report Share Posted July 3, 2005 The Qigong sets that were spawned from the Chnese " Internal " martial art, Bagua Zhang (Eight Diagram Palm), have sounds that accompany certain of the postures and movements. Each sound corresponds to one of the five elements. Is this similar to what your Chiropractor friend was describing. BTW, each of the Chinese " Internal " martial arts (the most well- known of which are Taiji Quan, Bagua Zhang and Xingyi Quan) are themselves, considered to be forms of Qigong. Looking at the myriad forms of Qigong that exist, many of them appear to have been culled from one of these " Internal " martial arts.

There is one sound per movement, except the monkey and when you combine yin/yang, fire and water, heart and kidney. Tiger/metal/lung - SSSSSS (Hissing sound) Bear/water/kidney - Chuuuuu Deer/wood/liver - " Shhhhh " Crane/fire/heart - " Hahhhh " Monkey/earth/spleen - inhale " Huuu " exhale " Hoooh " Triple Warmer/heater - " Heeeeeeeh " There is a yin form and a yang form. (One with less movements and one with more movements.) Hope this helps. To Your Best, Houston http://www.achieve-your-potential.com Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
