Dear friends of Qigong and Tai Chi,

NEWS

As a teacher of qigong meditation, people often ask me how it is possible to make a connection to higher forces.

Let me make an analogy.

Here I am, in my apartment.  I type up a newsletter and click "SEND".  Then it "appears" in your inbox and you open it.  Upon looking at it visually with your eyes (i.e. reading), the information is communicated.  

Simply by looking at an image (i.e. the text), a connection is made, and information is received.

I'm not anywhere near where you are and all you are doing is looking at an image but yet you are able to gain awareness of something outside you.

This is the secret behind Chinese qigong meditation.

By implementing the right kind of visualization techniques (qigong meditation), empowered by shifts in your energetic makeup from physical qigong methods, you can make a connection.

The details of this process are part of the training.

Our goals are to heal the physical body, feel more joy in our life, and to gain a higher-level of awareness. 


QIGONG MEDITATION BASICS 4 ONLINE


Ever wonder why if you are near a lake, you feel inspired to take a deep breath of fresh air?  Details covered in Wisdom Qigong in Qigong Meditation Basics 4.

Qigong Meditation Basics 4 course is coming up in two weeks.  It runs during the Aug 28-29 and Sep 4-5 weekends.  

This course does require the background from the previous three courses, so if you are a new student, it would be better to wait until we restart the Basics sequence again (March 2022). 

However, I do allow open enrollment for this class, because I realize many have gotten a lot of training in the system from other instructors. 

Note:  Higher-level classes (Basics 5, Healing Love, etc.) are restricted enrollment to only those with prerequisites, out of an abundance of caution to make sure that students have the proper background to do the material.

IF YOU ARE NEW, and don't wish to wait until March 2022 to begin Basics 1, we have a morning practice opportunity coming up this November!  NO PREREQUISITES  [See below]


ABOUT QIGONG MEDITATION BASICS 4

Qigong Meditation Basics 4 reviews the practices of Qigong Meditation Basics 3 and continues beyond that third course to explore advanced orbit and extended orbit methods.

ALSO, it additionally covers advanced healing light techniques (Wisdom Qigong), and getting more deeply grounded through new techniques (Iron Shirt Qigong 1)

Topics include:

1.  Review of Three Fires and Six Directions Form:  we will practice the full form repeatedly through the course to strengthen our ability to do it, after learning it over the past two classes.  Powerful form for activating internal energy and drawing in extra energy from outside.

2.  Review of QMB3 Tao Yin:  Tao Yin sets #1 and #2 from the previous coursework

3.  Review of QMB3 meditative techniques:  review of the methods to Awaken the Healing Light to draw in the primordial light and activate the crystal palace (spiritual center), review of counterforce breathing and wudang microcosmic orbit, along with a comparison review of classical microcosmic orbit

4.  Review of basic Iron Shirt 1:  Phoenix, Iron Bridge, and Embracing the Tree

When you learn how to do  "Embracing the Tree" properly, people twice your size can not push you over, even if they push you with a huge force.  While it "looks cool", the real function is to ground your mind and energy body, strengthen your boundaries, and enable earth energy to rise into you with ease.  It's a key to healing many ailments.  This is part of the Iron Shirt Qigong 1 coursework, covered in the Qigong Meditation Basics 4 course.

5.  Iron Shirt 1 Qigong (new):  Iron Bar, Turtle I, Holding the Golden Urn--Yang, Holding the Golden Urn--Yin 1, Holding the Golden Urn--Yin 2, Turtle II, Water Buffalo--Static and Dynamic

6.  Tao Yin Set #3--for Spine and for Leg Tendons

7.  Qi Self-Massage--part 1:  a simple seated sequence that rejuvenates the body with energy

8.  Extended Orbit Methods:  Classical and Wudang versions . . . powerful meditation techniques to balance your internal energy

9.  Wisdom Qigong:  "advanced healing light practices":  meditative methods for giving qi to the brain
