The Six Healing Sounds *
Healing the Internal Organs

This qi gong exercise is a powerful ancient method using the sound that has a healing resonance for each main organ in the body. This exercise helps bring healing energy to the six main internal organs, and helps bring balance and healthy energy to the whole body.

You may practice seated or lying down. It’s good to meditate for few minutes first, and notice, as Ken says, “the quality of the breath, and your general sense of bodily ease or discomfort. In each exercise below fresh qi (energy) is inhaled through the nose and old qi is exhaled through the mouth while quietly chanting a sound.” It's good to smile with each sound, sending love and sound into the organ.

It is best to do all six organ sound each time, in the same order, and do more repetitions with any organs that require more help. The sounds are spelled phonetically and are simple to pronounce.

  1. Lungs: focus the mind on the lungs. Locate the lungs with your mind. Inhale, imagine healing qi filling the lungs, reaching all of the air sacs, all of the tissues and lobes of the lungs. As you exhale through the mouth, make a barely audible prolonged sound, See-ahh. Repeat two more times.
  2. Kidneys: Become aware of the kidneys. Feel them with your mind. Inhale fresh qi into the kidneys, exhale unneeded qi with the low sound Chrooo-eee. Repeat two more times.
  3. Locate your liver internally. Feel it, be aware of it. Inhale healing qi into the liver. Exhale toxins with the sound, Shuuu. Repeat two more times. This sound should be like a “sh” as though saying, “Hushhhh, be quiet.” At the end of the sh, form your mouth into a U shape.
  4. Heart: Be aware of the heart. Inhale fresh qi into the heart, letting the qi permeate all of the tissues, muscles, chambers, and valves of the heart. Exhale with the sound Ho (as in “hook”) or Haa, as you like. It is especially good to smile with this sound, into the heart. Repeat twice more.
  5. Spleen: Locate the spleen with your mind. Feel it a spongy organ just behind the stomach. Inhale healing qi. Exhale toxins with the sound, Hooooo. Repeat two more times.
  6. Triple burner: The triple burner refers to bodily functions, rather than a specific organ or substance. It is the aspect of the qi that helps to control the balance of heat and moisture in the three regions of the body: the head and chest, (upper burner), the solar plexus, (middle burner), and the lower abdomen (lower burner). Inhale fresh pure qi onto the entire torso. Exhale with the sound, Seee. While making the sound, form the mouth into a smiling shape and imagine a happy feeling pervading the body, as though the body is smiling. Repeat two more times.

* Most of the above passage is taken directly from The Way of Qi Gong, by Ken Cohen, pages 165-166, with a few words and phrases changed for clarity. Also, the heart sound Haa, was taught to me by Tianhui Liu, my Qi Gong teacher from Beijing. It is offered as an alternative to Ken’s. See which sound feels better to you, and use it daily!
