In no particular order I'd like to present the top 10 ways to fail with your Qigong exercises:
™
1. Practice Qigong Form Only Forget that Qigong is a composite of Qigong form, energy/breathing and Mind. Just focus on the bit you can see, Qigong form and ignore the rest. Yes you will look like you are doing Qigong, and hardly anybody will be able to tell the difference.
2. Learn Only From Books & Qigong DVD's Don't bother making the effort to find the best teacher of Qigong that you can, don't waste your time, effort and money traveling to learn from them. Forget the sacrifice of spending time away from your family and friends to learn directly from them.
Why bother when you can pick up a book from the store, or watch a Qigong DVD and teach yourself?
3. Don't Follow Instructions If you do have a real live breathing Qigong teacher, the quickest way to guarantee failure is to not follow their instructions. If they tell you to breathe in through the nose and out through the mouth and you're not cool with that - forget about it. Do it your way.
I mean come on, let's face it, you're actually doing the teacher a favor by turning up every week, why should you bother following their instructions? The teachers a fool anyway, otherwise they'd know that they could get better results by thinking about their angels, wearing the right crystal, whilst humming the right frequency, tensing, stretching their muscles and visualizing the love of the Buddha's - whilst practicing Qigong.
Seriously, haven't they read the book?
4. Have No Idea Why You're Practicing Qigong If you can't tell me in a sentence or two what benefits you specifically want from your Qigong practice in the next 6 months and in the 12 months or so after that - congratulations. You are well on the way to failing with Qigong. Keep it up.
5. Be Tense Hey, it's a stressful world we seem to inhabit. If you really want to fail fast with your Qigong exercises then make sure you do them when you are physically, emotionally, mentally and Spiritually tense. Qi finds it really difficult to flow harmoniously when you're tense - so the tenser you are, the more likely you are to fail with Qigong.
6. Make Sure Your Practice Is Haphazard. Don't feel like practicing once or twice a day - every day. Excellent you have what it takes to fail with Qigong. Practice only when you can be bothered, take a few days off when ever you feel like it and just see how quickly you don't get any beneficial results from your practice.
7. Give Up Now Hey, come on, you've been practicing for a few weeks and nothing's happened yet? You can't set fire to cotton wool just by looking at it? You mean you haven't overcome that illness you've had for the last decade? You don't wake up in a morning feeling ready to jump out of bed - kick ass and take names?
Clearly Qigong doesn't work and you should give up now. I mean it's been a few weeks already.
8. Be Addicted to 'New' Forget about practicing and practicing and practicing the two or three qigong exercises you know. Forget about developing the core skills of Qigong by practicing, practicing, practicing. No, it's far more fun and enjoyable to learn new forms, learn new stuff.
A really good way to fail with Qigong is to never scratch the surface of it by constantly moving on to a new form, school or style.
9. Keep Thinking All the Time Similar to #5 - but significantly different if you think about it enough, from enough different angles. Forget about enjoying your Qigong and analyze every single movement of the qigong exercise you agonized over choosing, every single sensation. Approach Qigong as if you were going into a lab and put everything under the microscope of your mind.
To really speed this one up, don't just keep thinking about what you're doing whilst practicing Qigong, drag in unfinished business from the day as well. Forget about relaxing and enjoying your practice. Chew on tomorrow's meeting instead and what you're doing. This way you can multi-task whilst doing your practice.
If you can keep this up for the full 15 minutes of your practice, you are well on the way to falling with Qigong.
10. Distractions Nothing says failure like practicing in a really rubbish place. Ideally you'll choose somewhere noisy, dirty, and busy and if you want to fail super fast - you could add dangerous to the list as well.
If you want to fail with Qigong forget about practicing in a place of nature, far from the madding crowd with fresh circulating air. That's for people who want to succeed with Qigong!
Conclusion If however you wish to succeed with Qigong and your practice of Qigong exercises then simply ignore the 10 suggestions above and do the opposite.
Continuing our series, let's talk about the other brands which have adopted the VR technology and given it a new definition. It is not only the technical biggies who are cashing in on the popularity of virtual reality and launching new products very often but every big and small company is looking to explore this area for new possibilities. Our this week's feature is the Indian brand which is synonymous with good times. No points for guessing, we are talking about Kingfisher.
The alcoholic beverage giant Kingfisher is amongst the first ones in the country who chose to give a taste of Virtual Reality to its consumers. The company started its journey with VR with its unforgettable game 'Kingfisher Beer Coaster' which definitely was the first-of-its-kind experience. With this game, many consumers experienced the much talked about Oculus Rift in action for the first time. They got to sit on motion chairs in a virtual reality booth as they were taken for a roller-coaster ride in a VR environment. If you think that this is the coolest thing to come across, then you must hold on because the best is yet to come.
Kingfisher, being all about priceless experiences, launched a new virtual reality campaign in association with Spectra VR Studios, utilizing the growing popularity of VR headsets. The campaign titled as "Kingfisher 360 cities" allows the viewers to have an immersive tour of major Indian cities. And no worries if you still don't possess a Samsung Gear or Google cardboard, because you can have a 360-degree view of these videos on YouTube or Facebook though not as immersive as the VR experience. How often do we plan to take a leave from work and go for a holiday but they fail to realize either because of boss' fear or the big bucks an exotic trip demands? But here to our rescue is 'Kingfisher 360 cities' which brings the various destinations to us and the best part is we don't have to face the scary boss for a leave or burn a hole in the pocket.
Kingfisher is truly 'The King of Good Times' and obviously, every vacation is incomplete without Kingfisher. The company's ideology and the true meaning of a good time is highlighted in all the videos. If the backwaters of Kerala, the sand dunes of Jaisalmer or the beaches of Goa weren't enough "me time" for you, the brand has promised to cover 30 to 40 cities through this campaign.
As mentioned earlier as well, the brand is not experimenting with VR for the first time. It is one of the brands who is a pro at bringing out theme specific VR games. The first one was 'Kingfisher Super Chasers VR Game' which became the most talked about thing during the IPL season. The game not only attracted a lot of fans at the on-ground activations but the cricketers also tried their hands at the game. The latest addition to it is the 'Kingfisher Ultra Derby VR Game' which was showcased at the Kingfisher Ultra Derby 2016 held in Bengaluru.
Seems like Kingfisher has big plans leveraging 360 super root pro mod pc apk on the popularity of this growing technology but only time will tell about the upcoming VR explosions.
