Taichi and Qigong for Kidneys, Vitality and Longevity

In the US alone, over 37 million people are estimated to have chronic kidney disease and 90% of them are not even aware of it. That is because kidney is like a quiet hard worker; it just keeps working and does not complain loudly until it’s really sick. In Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM), we say the kidneys are our last reserve of qi. Even with only 25% of its function, it still may not cause serious problems. In fact, many people live normally with just 1 kidney. However, if you let its function drop below 25%, you will most likely face future dialysis or kidney transplant. At that stage, there is no effective medical treatment for reversing the function. Therefore, it’s imperative to do something when it starts to show signs of weakness. Qigong for kidneys is the answer, this set of exercises is meant to maintain the kidneys health and increase your vitality.

Based on my estimate, as much as 80% of people over age 40 show some sign of kidney weakness. This is likely due to our modern lifestyle. Your kidney system is weakening already if you have one the following symptoms:

  • Frequent urination; dry mouth; swelling of the eyes or legs (especially during early morning); sweating or feeling cold easily (especially in the extremities)
  • Hormone imbalance; infertility, impotency; premature ejaculation; nocturnal emission; menstrual issues
  • Tinnitus; forgetfulness; sleep issues
  • Weak teeth and bones; weak or sore lower back or legs (especially knees); hair loss or premature graying

Taichi Qigong for Kidneys, Vitality & Energy Considerations

In the holistic TCM view, kidney refers to more than just the 2 little organs inside the lower back. The kidney system includes the urinary, endocrine, reproductive, and auditory systems. It also use the stored essence to produce marrow. The marrow here refers to the entirety of what makes up our bones. It includes bone marrow, the spinal cord and even the brain which is called the sea of marrow. When the kidneys are strong, one is expected to have mental strength, sharp vision, prompt thinking, good hearing and eyesight, as well as healthy bones, teeth and hair. Since marrow transforms into blood, if the essence is sufficient, blood will be sufficient too. In addition, kidneys nurture motivation, determination and willpower.

The Yellow Emperor’s Inner Classic says: “At the beginning of life, the essence is formed first.” This is the life essence which we inherited from our parents and stored in the kidney. We consume it every day to support our daily activities. While we are able to somewhat replenish it through deep restful sleep and nutrients, these are only able to slow down its depletion. When this essence is used up, we die.

Our strength, health and longevity depend primarily on our life essence. I’m sure you’ve met people who do not exercise, or who smoke, drink, and/or eat junk food, yet they live a long time. On the other hand, some who live a very health-conscious life, die very early. Why? It is related to their life essence. Today we say we have inherited good or bad genes from our parents. It may sound like there’s not much you can do to change this, but Daoist think otherwise. Ge Hong, a famous Daoist master once said, “My destiny in my own hands, not the heaven’s (hands)”. You can improve your circumstance! This is the potential of TCM and the purpose of this course. Through Daoist inner practices and lifestyle changes you can replenish and fortify your life essence. In today’s terms, change your genes!
