Brief Introduction
Falun Gong is pronounced /ˈfɑːluːnˈɡʊŋ/, also known as Falun Dafa, pronounced /ˈfɑːluːnˈdɑːfɑː/ (Standard Mandarin Chinese: [fàlwə̂ n tâfà]; literally, "Dharma Wheel Practice" or "Law Wheel Practice").
Falun Gong is the practice of meditation based on ancient Chinese traditions of health and self-improvement that combines meditation and qigong exercises with a moral philosophy centered on the tenets of truthfulness, compassion, and tolerance. Hundreds of thousands are estimated to practice Falun Gong outside China in over 70 countries worldwide
The Exercises
Falun Gong is purposefully different from qigong and t'ai chi. With qigong, all movement is precise. T'ai chi is deliberately slow and methodic to maximize the flow of qi, or chi, loosely defined as vital energy, the core concept of qigong. Falun Gong practitioners don't worry about precision. The stretching is not meant to be strenuous to cultivate qi; rather, it cultivates universal energy, spinning the falun in the clockwise position.
Falun Gong comprises four standing poses and one sitting, meditative pose. The sitting pose, called the "Way of Strengthening Supernormal Power," is similar to qigong meditation exercises that have been shown to lower blood pressure. The standing poses mainly stretch the upper body, similar to qigong poses that have been shown to improve circulation. The Falun Gong exercise "Penetrating the Two Cosmic Extremes," for example, can be quite invigorating. With this exercise, one's arms move slowly up and down like pistons.
