Qigong and Inner AlchemyQigong means "Chi (Qi) Cultivation Exercise". Chi is the life force or essential life energy. It is Chi that animates your body. The state of your Chi determines the state of your health. Chi needs to move, circulate and transform. Most disease begins as a form of Chi stagnation. Learning how to "manage" your life force is not difficult and maintaining it in a vibrant, essential state takes only 15-20 minutes a day. By practicing in a group with an experienced teacher you will learn what the "Chi frequency" feels like so you can recognize it easily in your own practice. Qigong is the basis of Tai Chi and most other Taoist spiritual disciplines. Standing Qigong focuses on structure alignment and rooting. Connecting with the Earth and your own center brings balance and focus to all activity. The aim is to connect directly with the supreme stillness at the center of your being (Tan Tien). Moving Qigong is concerned with refining the tendons, ligaments and fascia. These are the routes the Chi follows in its circulation. Removing blockages through gentle but specific stretching, rotation and locking frees the joints and eases chronic and subconsciously held muscular tension. Sitting and Standing Meditation integrates and consolidates energy developed during Qigong practice. The Healing Sounds clarify and refine the internal organs by releasing trapped emotional energy. Circulation of the Chi in the Microcosmic Orbit brings all the elements in the body into harmony and balance. |
