I offer you the five key benefits of chong practice that for me I mean different teachers they share differently but for me I found out for my practice I found out at least five benefits first of all balance so uh for example like sometime we lose our balance the balance is like you sit too much you don't move your body enough so you lose the balance of body and mind your body got numb balance Here is also balance body and mind. Sometime you think too much, you don't move the body. Your body feel cold, right? So you practice stand up to the balance again. Balance. Another balance is balance. Yin and sometime the body feel too much cold in you. So too much co represent yin or sometimes feel too hot in you represent
yen. You need to sweat more. Right? So you practice chong you can bring the balance yin and yang you make your body warmer circulate the blood and uh um and then we have that balance you can heal yourself you can have a lot of uh nourishments in balance left and right that's why when you practice with some chong some movement with me when you move to a left you move back to the right you move a circle this way you move circle go that way. So you see yin and yang left and right up and down they go together. We use our two hands. We don't need to use anything else. We have inb breath and out breath. So you can find out in the inside of the chong practice already have balance. So in breath and out
breath is very important. When you breathe in, we need to breathe out. When you breathe out, you breathe in again. You go over and over again. and uh and that's why the more you practice chong the more you have violence for your life and sometime I feel like I sit too much I feel okay after two hours I need to stand up I move my body after that I feel violence again I too I'm too lazy and I found out okay I need to take a walk I walk again I stop somewhere I do my cho [snorts] so that is cut balance bring me a lot of nourishments Second is uh flow. When I practice, I make my blood energy flowing good again. The circulation, the circulation of chi energy, the circulation of my breathing, my blood, my energy better. So uh
the more I practice every day I circulate my blood my energy in me I release my blockage. So some of us have a blockage in your shoulders on your shoulder in your back because you work so hard. You be in front of the computer too long and as our teacher say that when you be front of computer too long you forget you have body. This mean like uh you just use your brain too much, you use your mind too much at the you forget your body and then at night time you feel so much tension in your shoulder. You feel so much pain in here, so much pain in my back, so much pain on my lower back, so much pain numbness on my legs, in my legs. So practice chong stand up you move your hands you move your legs stretching help yourself to
make the circulation of chi of blood better flowing good again so that is mean flow [snorts] and then we practice with the movements this movements next to the next the other movements we make the slow beautifully when you're breathing in and then after no more breathing out breathing in and then stretch in and out and your breathing lead your movements. So that's why bring the third benefit is harmony. You can find out the harmonies in the exercise of chong mean your body is here your mind is here also. When my body and my mind come back together in the present moment when I stress my hand [snorts] I'm breathing in I'm breathing out
and where's my mind? My mind with my hands [snorts] that's why one moments when you're breathing in and then the other moment for your breathing out and then your mind is there your awareness there and then your spirit is great. Your spirit is mean your joy, your happiness, your spiritual energy is right here. I am here on the earth. I am here. My body, my mind truly present. And that's why you feel the chong practice is not only practice to be beautiful, to be uh fit, but for me is very spiritual. with very um the a lot of practice to heal myself cultivate energy of uh love and joy in me connecting again to mother earth so that's why harmony the elements the more I practice the more I
have harmony with my body and my mind my spirit The fourth benefit is um heal [snorts] heal healing. We don't need to wait until you practice for 30 days or one year to heal. For me, I can heal myself right now with elements of healing depends on the quality of your breathing and your movement. So, um when you have a lot of stress, stand up, practice jumping and shake your body, let go right away. And that's why healing happened. I feel so much joy in my body. I feel so much like my body alive and that's healing the joy being alive that is elements of healing because uh sometime we have too much sadness in us too much stress in us and then when I the more I practice even I practice with my uh this moment bring
my mind back to my body and my breathing in breathing out my low abdomen right here I pay attention to my lower dant chin right here and I have a concentration, I have mindfulness and then I have a calmness and relaxing right away. As long as I have relaxing and calming, the healing happening. It's opposite way with the stress. When you have too much stress, you have too much tensions. That's why you suffer so much, right? So uh when you have a lot of stress because we work so hard we don't have a balance and that we forget the body you forget to have breathing that's why when you come back home you feel so much stress and you feel so tired and the moment you come out to breathe on the nature here in the
nature here and [snorts] then you do some movement to come back to your body you allow yourself to breathe in and breathing out with your belly and stretch a little bit five And then you feel your body, you feel your belly. You are there for your body. You feel your connected again with your with the feet and the mother earth. And that you feel so relaxed and co so connected. You let go all the tensions. You say, you do this moment. Let go. Right? [snorts] Let it go all tensions and you realize that wow it's so wonderful to let go in that way or your outreath and that is a heal that is a healing happen right because for me healing
happen is not like when you heal completely all the sickness but healing come from the tiny little healing when I have more joy I healing my sadness when I have relaxing I healing I'm healing my stress when I have a lot of calms I healing my anxieties you see that kind of energy so that's why I trust my body as long as I allow myself to rest and to relax that's why healing happened um and relax and rest the animals they have capacity to do better than us we occupy too much up Yeah. So during the time of do exercise I would like to invite you to come back to the den to your low abdomen here one point just under your navl low abdomen that's where we call the den d mean is medicine then is mean filled the field of medicine
this is area where you have a lot of anxieties a lot of stress come down here put your hand on your tummy Breathe in and out. Embrace the body and allow yourself to move down to the center of the body. That your heart, your dant, your belly, that is where your center of the body up here is like a storm on the surface of the all the leaves shing all the thinking. So bring that down to the roots of the body, the roots of the tree. Danten represent our roots of the body. Okay. So that's why when the more you come back to your cell with your breathing with your resting with your relaxing calming and the healing happen very quickly. And the fifth number five the benefits is strength. The more you practice

the your breathing, the quality of your breathing uh come from the uh stretching consistently every day and then you make a new trail, new habit energy. five minutes every day from six to uh from 6:00 to 6:30 that's my time I find five minutes before the working time before my breakfast I can find that moment that commit yourself do every day after a month you will amaze yourself is uh is that's that's that's that is the way that I build up my health I feel like younger every day I feel happier every day.
