What types of qigung do you do (if any). Why do you do them?
What types of qigung do you do (if any). Why do you do them?
I practice absorbing chi from the earth and nature in the park near my home. I also attend a tai chi class once a week where we do chi gong and occasionaly meditation, don't know if there's a specific name to the chi gong though.
I do chi gong to aid my health and give foundation to my other, more physical, practices.

mostly for stretching/warming up.... though you can use it for health/energy and power.... but i don't know much about that
I practise Siu Lim Tao which has it's own 'hei gung' cultivation imho, which is moved and developed through Chum Kiu and harnessed and released through Biu Jii.
Standing postures and therapeutic stretching also assists hei flow and is a core practise for me personally at home. Mostly I practise for self defence against infections and viruses! It also helps build strength and power, but this is a different intent and harder to accomplish on your own...

Answering the why.The Buddhist scriptures tell us how He (Buddha (Siddharta Gautama))was trained in Hindu philosophy, Yoga and martial arts. Hindu society, like its Chinese counterpart, had always acknowledged the link between psycho-spiritual development and that of physical development – but more than this, it was also acknowledged that at the highest levels, the distinction between the 'psychological' and the 'physical' falls away, to reveal a clear, pristine Mind that embraces the universe, within which all things manifest – including our own physical bodies. This philosophical concept of 'oneness' is further emphasised by the fact that just 'silent sitting' in meditation was not enough to transcend the suffering of life on the physical plane. Simply ignoring the 'physical' world does not make it 'go away.' Practicing the in-depth and diverse movements of the many styles of martial art – with a concentrated and developed mind (acquired through seated meditation) creates the perfect balance of 'mind' and 'body.' For when the physical body is aligned, and that body is merged with the 'One Mind,' universal energy flows and there is nothing that can not be achieved. If the Mind is enlightened through seated meditation, that is its essence; when the Mind moves the body on the physical plane, that is its function. All things accord, and there is peace.

and not what is on the surface,
On the fruit and not the flower.
Therefore accept the one and reject the other. "

The forms are my qigong. I like to practice them really slow while concentrating on my powerlines, posture & principle connections. I also take separate movements directly from the forms repeating them. I think it's really helped with my development over the last few years.

10 excercises of Wu meridian qigong in conjuction with Dragon's Way diet, both from a book by TCM doc Nan Lu.

Though I've only had one class, I like practicing the little tiny bit of Sil Lum Tao that I know very slowly with controlled breathing (like taiji). I also practice qigong from Taiji Quan and Xingyi Quan.

Hello,
When I do practice, which is not often as my skills will attest , I do a series of standing postures known as Jam Jong. Pretty cool and relaxing as well.
Of course I usually practice my favorite form of Chi Kung laying in a prone position in bed with my eyes closed. Sometimes I even make strange rythmic noises as a form of breath control.
Take care out there and keep
