I have been practicing Ba Bu Jin Gang Gong (The Eight Sections of Golden Diamond Gong) for a while now, and the results have been life-changing. I used to struggle with heavy brain fog and feeling "scattered." Since incorporating this 25-minute routine into my daily life, I feel significantly more grounded and mentally clear. My "Jing-Qi-Shen" (Essence, Energy, and Spirit) has reached a level I haven't felt in years.

​

Master Zhang Zhishun (1912–2015) was a legendary Daoist priest who lived to the age of 104 with remarkable health and vitality. He spent his life preserving ancient Daoist wisdom.

 

The Ba Bu Jin Gang Gong is a moving meditation designed to balance the internal organs, clear the meridians, and strengthen the skeletal structure. Unlike many soft forms of Qi Gong, this "Diamond" practice uses "internal power" to transform the body from the inside out.

 

In this video, we follow Master Zhang’s original demonstration, practicing each of the 8 sections for 9 repetitions. This is the traditional way to ensure the Qi (energy) fully circulates through the entire body.

 

Tips for Practice

Move with Inner Power: As Master Zhang says, "Lift as if raising a 1,000lb tripod."

Breathe Naturally: Don't force your breath; let it follow the movement.

Consistency is Key: Practicing in the morning (facing the sun) is ideal for the "Golden Diamond" energy.
