The Lotus or Lotus Blossom Qi Gong is a continuous flowing Qigong which aims to help relaxation and improve general health and wellbeing. Rather than repeating individual movements a number of times, the entire Qigong sequence is often repeated.
There are some variations in the descriptions of the movements, but the most common ones are listed below:
- Preparation
- The Sun Rises Through the Clouds
- Turtle Treads Water
- Snow Rabbit Digs the Earth, Pushes from its Burrow and sniffs for spring
- Fair Maiden Scoops Water and Spreads it Over the Garden
- Raindrops Fall on the Lotus
- Lotus Flower Buds and Blossoms
- Turn to Face the Wind - Right and Left
- Lift The Sky, Press the Earth and Scoop the Sea
- White Crane Spreads It's Wings - Right and Left
- Snow Rabbit Digs the Earth, Pushes from its Burrow and sniffs for spring
- Raise the arms through the clouds
- Bid farewell to the setting sun
- Closing
