- Ping Shuai Gong (Chinese: 平甩功; pinyin: Píng Shuǎi gōng; lit. 'Swinging hand workout')is a hand-swinging exercise pioneered by Taiwan Qigong (氣功) master Li Feng-shan (李鳳山). The pioneer of Pingshuai is Taiwan Qigong master Li Fengshan. It is a yangsheng/nourishment of life exercise that is simple but has powerful health giving properties. Let's look at some of the beneficial effects Pingshuai can have on you if you practice it daily:enhances your immune system, improves your balance, makes joints and muscles more flexible, fortifies muscles, joints and bones, enhances your blood and Qi circulation throughout the body,replenishes your energy, relaxes your body, calms and clears your mind, and sharpens your senses. By nourishing the entire body and cultivating the mind, Pingshuai Gong has the potential to cure or alleviate many ailments, including insomnia, constipation, back pain, soreness and numbness of the legs or feet, arthritis and even cancer. The scientists from Taiwan made an experiment [1] and presented it in the USA, in which they observed the brain waves during Pingshuai exercise. They discovered that alpha waves started to gradually activate during the practice as a result of a quietude and even motion. When our brain is in alpha state we experience low stress level, reduced anxiety, decreased depression as well as improved memory and creative thinking. Alpha waves give us a sense of wakeful relaxation and calmness. Master Li Fengshan encourages us to listen to ourselves and our bodies. We will discover that we are energy, and our internal energy is connected with the energy outside of us. He teaches us that only when we have total control of ourselves, will we better manage and deal with the world around us. When we have difficulty dealing with the outer world, we should first regain control of ourselves, he advises. Pingshuai can help us to connect with ourselves and find our inner strength. It is a simple, but very effective exercise. However, simplicity is not easy to achieve, according to Master Li, who believes that simplicity is wisdom. Standing with both legs apart at a width roughly equal to that of the shoulder, Ping Shuai Gong involves moving both arms in parallel, swinging first to the front of the body until they are the same height as the shoulder, then swinging the arms back with a little effort until both arms are behind the body. On every fifth swing, the knee should slightly bend down and spring back quickly - once when the arms are swinging towards the back of the body and another on the return swing to the front of the body. It is suggested to be carried out 3 times a day and at least 10 minutes each time. It is to help to improve the blood circulation and start the healing process if there are any ailments. It is recommended to avoid drinking cold water immediately after the exercise despite cold water having no negative effects. Ping Shuai Gong is claimed to cure many ailments including cancer, with anecdotal cases reported in Taiwan. (en)
