More Zhan Zhuang

Since so many people have visited my blog searching for information on zhan zhuang, I'll give you a couple more links that provide information and instruction. Standing Meditation and Zhan Zhuang. Zhan zhuang is powerful qigong. Don't let the simplicity of this system fool you. When you practice zhan zhuang your body acts like a vacuum, pulling in energy from "heaven and earth". This is powerful healing energy for a minimal effort unlike typical western exercise that requires you to exert great amounts of energy that drains energy from your organs and produces too much heat that causes your organs to age at an accelerated rate, not to mention all the stress on your joints, and only gives you the appearance of health. One of the difficulties in practicing zhan zhuang is getting over the feeling that you need to be doing something to improve your health. Zhan zhuang works from the inside out, you don't need to stress and strain your body to see improvements in health and fitness. Too many people think being fit means they are healthy and it's just not true. One of the great things about zhan zhuang is that it can be practiced by anyone regardless of age or fitness level.
