Qi Gong Breathing: 7 Minutes to calm body and mind
Instructions on Qi Gong Breathing combined with a few simple and effective movements to calm body and mind. This Qi Gong practice involves breathing, intention and movement. If you have problems with high blood pressure, this is the simplest and cheapest way to support your heart.
For the beginning stay focused on your breath throughout these 7 minutes.
Once your breathing is naturally synchronized with your movements, actively look for relaxation throughout each and every movement. If you think your body is relaxed already, go deeper and try relax each organ. If you think the organs are relaxed, settle your mind.
"Movement is the consequence of Qi. Qi follows intention. Intention is directed with the mind."
Every year there are several retreats that are taking place in the Shaolin Temple Europe 歐洲少林寺, the monastery where I am living.
A retreat can either be a 3-day Retreat (Friday - Sunday) or a 6-day Retreat (Monday - Saturday). Every retreat is held under a specific topic, such as: Gong Fu, Qi Gong (e.g. Ba Duan Jin, Yi Jin Jing, 13 Luohan), Meditation retreats and Rou Quan retreats.
If you are interested in joining any of these retreats, please take a look at all dates that are published on the website of the monastery:

The mix has been optimized for extended listening, with frequency ranges that promote relaxation without fatigue. Whether listening through speakers or headphones, the spatial qualities of the recording create an immersive environment that transports you away from daily concerns.
Listening to this audio can provide numerous benefits for both mental and physical well-being. The carefully designed soundscape promotes parasympathetic nervous system activation, helping the body shift from 'fight or flight' mode into 'rest and digest' mode. Regular listening can help establish healthy relaxation habits and improve overall stress management. For sleep specifically, this audio helps quiet an overactive mind and create consistent conditions for rest. Those dealing with anxiety have reported significant relief when using this audio as part of their coping toolkit.
The science of sound therapy draws from multiple disciplines: psychology, neuroscience, and acoustic ecology. Research consistently shows that ambient sounds can modulate autonomic nervous system activity, shifting the body from stress response (sympathetic activation) toward relaxation response (parasympathetic activation). This occurs through multiple pathways: masking of disruptive environmental sounds, providing gentle cognitive engagement that prevents anxious rumination, and creating predictable soundscapes that signal safety to primitive brain regions. Regular exposure to relaxing audio can help establish positive feedback loops where the brain learns to associate certain sounds with calm states.
The community response to this audio has been genuinely appreciative, with 26,343 likes reflecting the genuine impact it has had on listeners worldwide. In the comments section, listeners share personal stories of how this audio has helped them through difficult times, aided their sleep, or provided a reliable source of calm during stressful periods.

To get the most from this audio experience, consider your listening environment and equipment. For study or work, maintain the volume at a level where it provides gentle background presence without demanding attention. Position speakers or headphones to create an immersive but not overwhelming soundscape. Take breaks every 45-60 minutes to maintain effectiveness. Consistency in your listening routine can amplify benefits over time, as your mind learns to associate these sounds with relaxation.
This audio is particularly effective during: Study sessions and homework time; Work from home focus periods; Creative project sessions; Morning meditation practice.
