A Gong in Chinese is a designated amount of time that you allot to perform a specific task daily. For example, knowing that it takes at least 90 days for a particular good habit to “burn into” your nervous system, I have found that the 100 Day Gong is the most appropriate length to practice. This means that we pick a particular practice (or set of practices) and designate them as our Gong and we diligently practice them every day for 100 days without fail. This means that if you miss a day, even if its day 99, you start over. Not only does this build resolve, it forces us to wake up and pay attention to our day-to-day routines. It is incredibly painful when you miss day 46, for instance (I did!) and have to start over. At first you try to make excuses to yourself about how it was OK and how you’ll just keep going, but then, a deal is a deal…you start over. Next round, you pay attention! It is a wonderful way of not only building focus and determination, but also to ensure that you train regularly. It is a dedicated act of self-love that snaps you out of your daily trance and brings the light of awareness to your consciousness. The more we practice, the more we wake up and the better off we are.
I do these all of the time in my personal life and development. I set goals for myself for the next 100 days (physical, mental, spiritual) and I look at them daily and I reinforce my Sub Conscious mind every day for those hundred days. When it is over, I assess where I am and take a few days of introspection and meditation before I set my next gong. In essence, I allow my Super Conscious mind to guide me into the next series of programs for the Sub Conscious mind. This is a wonderful method for bringing the Self Conscious mind into the equation and tie all aspects together- again, harmonizing Yin and Yang.
Depending on how dedicated you are and where you think you’d like to start, you can put in something simple, like one Qi Gong set for starters and do that for a hundred days or you can get far more involved. I usually have 8 exercises or meditations per day in a given gong but that’s me- I’ve been a monk. Start where you feel like you can realistically manage it with your current time allowances and get the first hundred days under your belt. I assure you that afterward, you will do more of them and add more goals and practices as you go along. This practice really helps get you on track and creates an environment for growth and personal development that is self-inspired and easy to follow.
To make it even easier, I am creating an application that will help you set, track, and follow your practice. It is free to use and provides you with a number of tools that will help you sustain your growth well into the future. There are a number of other tools I will be providing you with in the near future. For now, please download the GRID and MANIFESTATION SHEETS and start your first gong today.
Also, please subscribe to the site (free and we don’t spam) so we can inform you when the new 100 Day Gong application goes live. Its just in the box to the right ————————->
