OVERVIEW
Our goal is renew and refresh the material from Qigong Meditation Basics 4 + Iron Shirt Qigong 1. From there, we learn Part 2 to the Qi Self-Massage set, we learn the full Wisdom Qigong protocol, we learn some of Craniosacral Qigong, and we learn introductory methods from Healing Love that relate to the health of the pelvic floor. All of these strengthen our physical body, our healing capacity, and open us up to a higher level of conscious awareness.
The theme of this class is: Solidify Adv. Basics + Brain and Craniosacral Health
After reviewing the methods in Qigong Meditation Basics 4 + Iron Shirt Qigong 1 for qi self-massage, for Iron Shirt Qigong 1, and for healing light practices, we learn ways to rejuvenate the organs with Qi Self-Massage (Part 2). We explore brain rejuvenation techniques through Wisdom Qigong practices. We start to learn ways to activate the sacral and cranial pumps, to cleanse the blood, and to improve mobility in the neck and sacrum. Lastly, we introduce a few Introductory Healing Love techniques, specifically those that are devoted to the physical health of the pelvic floor, independent of any sexual energy considerations. These last practices lay the groundwork for a deeper study of the health of the pelvic floor and the sexual energy work in the next course Healing Love 1.
ABOUT QIGONG MEDITATION BASICS 5
We will learn three new fundamental meditation for emotional and spiritual well-being:
- Classical Large Microcosmic Orbit: grounds and balances upper/lower parts of the body
- Qi Ball Large Microcosmic Orbit: breaks up blockages along the large microcosmic orbit with two different spins
- Reverse Qi Ball Large Microcosmic Orbit: alternate qi ball large microcosmic orbit to sedate the body
In addition to the above, we will learn some supportive qigong:
- Wisdom Qigong: six formulas to help rejuvenate the brain
- Qi Self-Massage (Part 2)
- Craniosacral Qigong (see below)
- Intro Healing Love (see below)
Along with the material in this section, we will review some of the meditations and qigong from Qigong Meditation Basics 4 + Iron Shirt Qigong 1.
ABOUT CRANIOSACRAL QIGONG
Craniosacral Qigong is a set of physical qigong practices to:
- Activate the Sacral and Cranial Pumps
- Cleanse the Blood
- Improve Mobility in the Neck and Sacrum
ABOUT INTRO HEALING LOVE
This Intro Healing Love course--and all the courses in the Healing Love tier--will contain a mixture of qigong, qigong meditation, and educational training.
All Healing Love course material will now be taught over ten courses plus this intro: this intro course, as well as ten courses that deal with sexual energy
Because some may have questions about what these Healing Love courses entail, let me be clear on the following important points:
- The focus is on qigong and educational information for the improvement of physical health.
- Some educational information in the course, by its nature, will need to include anatomical drawings or tasteful photos, relating to sexual health.
- Students will learn all material safely with their clothes on. No disrobing of participants or sexual activity will take place in the classroom.
- One does NOT need any kind of "sexual partner" to benefit from this course. The primary focus is on your own personal healing.
- Any discussion of topics relating to sexual health will be dealt with in a mature fashion, both in presentation and questions/answers.
- Students can be assured that they can ask any question relating to sexual energy or human sexuality without judgment, and given serious reply.
- Course is suitable for people of all genders and all sexual orientations.
Course Goals for Intro Healing Love:
- Improve one's health involving the pelvic floor
More topics in Healing Love, involving the health of the pelvic floor and relating to sexual energy, will be discussed in the next course (Healing Love 1)
