Doing Wu Chi

​While Wu Chi is sometimes interpreted as ‘doing nothing’ this is not accurate.   When standing in Wu Chi we: 

• Stand with feet approximately shoulder width apart with feet parallel.  
• Lift through the Bai Hui (crown of the head) with chin tucked slightly under.  
• Eyes can be half closed or closed. 
• The tip of your tongue rests behind the top teeth connecting a circle of energy, known as the ‘micro-cosmic orbit’. 
• Relax the neck and shoulders and place your hands on the lower dantian to bring your focus to your centre before lowering them to your sides.    
• Hips and pelvis are relaxed, sinking the tail bone. 
• Knees are soft and slightly bent and weight evenly distributed between the feet, relaxing the toes. 

 
If you cannot stand for long Wu Chi can be practised in a sitting position with hands resting in your lap. 

Wu Chi should be practised every day for a few minutes before practising Qigong or Tai Chi. If you are going to have a busy day Wu Chi will help relax and focus both mind and body even if things don’t go according to plan
