A friend who also dances recommended me to practise Zhineng Qigong. I tried this training form because of my friend&#8217;s warm recommendation. I became curious. I have tried many different training forms for mindfulness such as yoga, tai-chi and meditation. All had their advantages but no one really got my full attention.<\/p>\n<p>I participated on my first Zhineng Qigong weekend course in 2007. I didn\u00b4t have any big expectations on what to expect from the course. I was surprised that the training was quite tough, despite the soft and easy movements. Somehow I wanted to find out why that could be. After the weekend course I participated in the weekly training class. To practise made me temporarily calm but I didn\u00b4t get any revolutionary effects.<\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/12\/mattias-adomat.jpg\" alt=\"\" \/><\/p>\n<h3>The Summer Course<\/h3>\n<p>I attended my first summer course in 2010. I realized there is higher potential in the training then I had understood previously. The course made things go into a new direction. During the following months my body became softer and more flexible and mentally I became calmer and more solid. Among other things I didn&#8217;t get annoyed by small incidents. A greater calm also gives a better comprehensive view and it was easier to focus on the right things.<\/p>\n<p>During the summer course of 2011 we learned the second step of Zhineng Qigong. It&#8217;s an exercise that proved to be good for dancing. I have increased my body awareness and the ability to feel details in my body&#8217;s movements. It has made it easier for me to understand and to perform the movements when I dance. Furthermore I can dance for longer periods of time because less energy is wasted with a better posture. As an extra bonus I seldom get pain in my feet after a night at the dance floor, which used to be more of a rule than an exception.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Mattias Adomat<\/strong><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p><img decoding=\"async\" style=\"\" src=\"\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/12\/mattias-adomat-liten.jpg\" alt=\"\" \/>My body awareness and ability to feel details in the movements of the body has increased.
