Follow-Along Tai Chi Qigong Shibashi, Set 2

This tutorial walks through the second set of Tai Chi Qigong Shibashi, a form of Qigong built from 18 individual movements. Drawing on the traditional Chinese framework of Qi (vital energy), the course frames the practice as a way to work with the body's internal balance through gentle, self-guided movement.

Who It's For

Suited to anyone interested in Tai Chi or Qigong as a follow-along practice, whether as a continuation of Set 1 or as an entry point into slower, meditative movement. No advanced physical fitness is assumed.

Key Takeaways

18 distinct movements, from the opening breathing form to the closing palm press
Designed to be followed along in real time, movement by movement
Rooted in traditional Chinese Qi theory rather than a Western fitness framework
Sensations like warmth, mild tingling, or light sweating are described as a normal part of practice

About this course

The Chinese medical understanding of illness is dominated by reasoning based on Qi. Healthy Qi pertains to the body's resistance to disease, whereas Evil Qi refers to a variety of pathogens. In other words, the emergence of a disease depends not only on the disease but also on the body's resistance to it.

Tai Chi Qigong Shibashi aims to adjust the body's internal functions by self-practice, to mobilize the human body's own potential, to give full expression to the subjective initiative of the human body, and to rely on its own strength to cure diseases and strengthen the body.

You may experience soreness, numbness, swelling, heat, etc. in your hands, feet, or other areas of your body when practicing Tai Chi Qigong Shibashi, or a warm current may flow through your body, causing you to sweat slightly. Tai Chi Qigong Shibashi can be used to cleanse the meridians, harmonize blood and Qi, and prevent and treat sickness.

In Tai Chi Qigong Shibashi Set 2, you will learn the following movements:

1. Commencing form and regulating breathing

2. Concentrating with your mind for energy

3. Breeze blowing at the willow tree

4. Detecting needle in the Sea

5. Fisherman casting fishing net

6. Fairy directing the way

7. Mischievous boy kicking his legs

8. Stork praying at the moon

9. Yellow dragon clawing

10. Shooting arrow

11. Two dragons going out to sea

12. The waves lapping or rolling

13. The lion playing the ball

14. Carrying the moon towards your body

15. Phoenix spreading its wings

16. Two mountain peaks facing the ears

17. Expanding and contracting abdominal muscle for energy

18. Pressing your palms in calmness

Each set of Tai Chi Qigong Shibashi consists of 18 movements, each of which consists of a single simple movement, making it simpler and easier to learn than Tai Chi. However, despite the simplicity of the movements, they contain the Taijiquan traits of being uniform, delicate, stretched, elegant, with the mind and body as one, and the body as one with the mind.
