Drawing the Bow to Shoot the Eagle A Classical Baduanjin Qigong Practice for Power and Balance

Drawing the Bow to Shoot the Eagle is one of the most dynamic movements in Eight Pieces of Brocade (Baduanjin), emphasizing strength, focus, and coordinated breath.

This practice mimics the action of drawing a bow and aiming toward the horizon, engaging the arms, shoulders, chest, and legs while encouraging a stable stance and an open posture. Through slow, intentional movement, it helps strengthen the upper body, expand the lungs, and activate the flow of Qi across the meridians.

Beyond its physical benefits, this movement trains the mind to remain calm and centered while generating power. Strength is cultivated without tension; focus arises without force. The practitioner learns to embody alertness, precision, and inner stillness—qualities essential both within practice and in daily life.

Rooted in traditional Chinese wisdom, this lesson invites you to aim beyond the visible, cultivating presence and confidence while grounding yourself firmly in the present moment.
