Qigong Facial<\/b><\/h4>\n
Facial self-massage has been gaining popularity in the West and its benefits are immense. To a large extent, this knowledge has made its name with facial yoga and ayurvedic facial massages.<\/span><\/p>\nLymphatic drainage systems will also popularize this type of self-massage.<\/span><\/p>\nIn the East, the practice has been well known for thousands of years, especially among women, as it makes the face cleaner, more beautiful and promotes natural rejuvenation.<\/span><\/p>\nIn qigong and Taoism, the practice of facial massage is of great importance, as facial massage combined with the acupressure technique helps to relieve many symptoms, as it promotes the unblocking of the meridians (energy channels) that pass through the face and head.<\/span><\/p>\nFacial qigong and facial reading are an important part of traditional Chinese medicine.<\/span><\/p>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div>How does it work?<\/b><\/h4>\n
Throughout our lives we experience different emotions, and certain emotions recur on a daily basis.
\nThese repetitive emotions will crease our face and generate so-called expression wrinkles. <\/span><\/p>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div>![](\"https:\/\/qigongessencial.pt\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/05\/qigongessencial-qigongfacial1.jpg\" "\\"qigongessencial-qigongfacial1\\"")
<\/span><\/div><\/div><\/div>When we experience the same emotions over and over again, we generate different wrinkles.
\nSo a person who spends a lot of time (months or years) feeling worried, insecure or afraid will have a wrinkle in the center of their forehead.
\nSomeone who spends a lot of time feeling sad or depressed will have the corners of their mouth and eyes turned down, exactly the opposite of someone who is more relaxed and cheerful. <\/span><\/p>\nThese are very simple examples of how emotions affect our face and form wrinkles.
\nIn this case the path is from the mind to the face, i.e. the mind generates a thought, which in turn generates an emotion, and these emotions are reflected in the muscles of the face (and also the body). <\/span><\/p>\nIn facial qigong, we do it the other way around, i.e. from the face to the mind. <\/span><\/p>\nThis means that by massaging the muscles in the face where the emotion is expressed, we help the face to let go of that same emotion.
\nBecause emotions also live in our physical body. <\/span><\/p>\nCertain heavier emotions will block the muscles in our face and have the potential to generate different types of problems: headaches, insomnia, toothache, tinnitus, blockage of the respiratory system, poor oxygenation of the brain, jaw pain, bruxism, etc.<\/span><\/p>\nThe most obvious benefits of facial massage are: it stimulates blood circulation to the face and head, promotes lymphatic drainage and reduces swelling, the appearance becomes more toned, smoothes expression wrinkles, drastically reduces tension in the facial muscles, facilitates oxygenation and the delivery of nutrients to the skin and promotes the absorption of collagen.<\/span><\/p>\nThe less obvious benefits, but those of most interest to the qigong practitioner, include <\/span>help harmonize emotions<\/i><\/b>Gradually, the practitioner becomes more and more aware of when he or she is using certain muscles in the face and quickly detects what emotions he or she is experiencing. <\/span>will promote greater self-awareness and emotional mastery<\/i><\/b>.<\/span><\/p>\nWhen we practice qigong and are too serious, this will be reflected in the muscles of the face, which will tense up and in turn spread this tension to different parts of the body.<\/span><\/p>\nLook at the face of the Buddhas, or the Mona Lisa, just a slight smile, without any indication of facial tension, which conveys a feeling of serenity, power and emotional wisdom.<\/span><\/p>\nFacial Qigong, despite being a simple practice, is powerful. <\/i><\/b><\/p>\n
Practiced by thousands of people in the East, and now also in the West, it will make your face lighter and more beautiful and will also give you mastery over your emotions.<\/i><\/b><\/p>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div>Facial acupressure after facial massage.<\/b><\/h4>\n
In the practice of facial qigong, facial massage is only the first part, it works as a preparation for what comes next: acupressure (do-in).<\/span><\/p>\nAcupressure involves applying pressure to specific points on the body, called acupuncture points or pressure points or power points.
\nThis technique promotes the relief of symptoms and improves general well-being. <\/span><\/p>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div>![](\"https:\/\/qigongessencial.pt\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/05\/Acupunctura.jpg\" "\\"Acupuncture\\"")
<\/span><\/div><\/div><\/div>The acupressure technique involves applying pressure with the fingers.<\/span><\/p>\nThe basic principles of acupressure include the theory of meridians and Qi.
\nThe body has meridians, which are channels through which vital energy, known as Qi (or Chi), flows. <\/span><\/p>\nMaintaining the free and balanced flow of Qi is essential for good health.
\nThere are hundreds of pressure points along these meridians, and each point is associated with different organs and systems in the body.
\nApplying pressure to these points helps to release blockages in the flow of Qi and restore balance. <\/span><\/p>\nThe benefits of acupressure are varied.
\nIt is often used to relieve headaches, back pain, arthritis and other chronic pain.
\nPressure on specific points helps to release endorphins and relieve muscle tension. <\/span><\/p>\nAcupressure helps reduce stress and anxiety and promotes relaxation of the body and mind. It also improves blood and lymph circulation, helps eliminate toxins and promotes healing.<\/span><\/p>\nIn facial qigong practice, we use specific points, called power points, on our face to promote energy flow and emotional balance.<\/span><\/p>\nEffects<\/b><\/p>\n
On average, after 3 weeks of practice, my students begin to feel its effects.<\/span><\/p>\nIt’s wonderful to receive their feedback, which is often completely unexpected. Some examples include having good nights’ sleep and waking up more rested, almost total elimination of internal noise in the ears, total relaxation of the body after practice, deeper and more meaningful meditation sessions, a clear feeling of energy flowing through the face and body, increased intuition and creativity, and in all cases more inner peace.<\/span><\/p>\nHow and where to practice?<\/b><\/p>\n
All my students have free access to the facial qigong sessions that take place 3 times a week, online, via zoom, in groups.<\/span> Times: Tuesdays at 2pm Wednesdays at 3pm Fridays at 2pm<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"","protected":false},"author":3480,"featured_media":0,"parent":1501,"menu_order":0,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","template":"100-width.php","meta":{"footnotes":""},"class_list":["post-1440","page","type-page","status-publish","hentry"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/qigongessencial.pt\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/pages\/1440","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/qigongessencial.pt\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/pages"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/qigongessencial.pt\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/page"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/qigongessencial.pt\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/3480"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/qigongessencial.pt\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=1440"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/qigongessencial.pt\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/pages\/1440\/revisions"}],"up":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/qigongessencial.pt\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/pages\/1501"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/qigongessencial.pt\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=1440"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
