Day 5 of the 28-Day Qigong Challenge.

Instruction

For Day 5, we are learning Consolidation with the Cocoon. 

Both of these are more conceptional, more internal, and happen more in the mind.

The Cocoon is a Taoist meditation exercise. Imagine yourself safe and secure in a cocoon, or a comfy blanket. No harm can come to you. Nothing external can breech the barrier of the cocoon. 

I sometimes combine this with dissolving and/or different layers of an exercise called Bone Marrow Cleansing, a visualization about the effects reaching the innermost part of you, washing out external influences, so that only you remain.

This combining is not original, nothing is. I saw it used in a book titled Chi Kung in Recovery. 

Practice

Talk to you tomorrow,
