Every Qigong movement is designed to be chain-linked to the next. Seamless transitions are a unique characteristic of this style of Qigong, so some spectators might not realize you are practicing a different exercise as you flow from one exercise to another. While the 5 Element Qigong offers a deep squeeze to the organs, the 8 Trigram Qigong offers a more gentle and smooth massage of the organs through rhythmic, flowing movements. It focuses mostly on the core of the body, bowing the spine in just about every direction possible. There is a big emphasis on simultaneously wringing out the meridians of the arms and using the legs as a strong root into the earth.
