Winter is the Time for Deep Nourishment
This seasonal qigong course contains three powerful, traditional sets to nourish, vitalize, and attune you to the energies of Winter and the Water Element.
Deer Qigong
This practice set comes from the famous 'Five Animal Frolics' of master Hua Tuo. This ancient practice uses the symbology and movements of the deer to attune you to the qualities of the Water Element of Daoist cosmology - while massaging and strengthening the associated meridians!
Wudang Hunyuan Qigong
This powerful set is associated with the Chen Style of Tai Chi, and was taught in our medical qigong course as a potent way to tonify the body's energy reserves. Winter is the time for deep tonification and inner nourishing.
Seated Brocade Qigong
The seated 'Eight Brocade' exercises include a wealth of Daoist and Buddhist meditation preparation exercises, with the special benefit of awakening the inner heat and opening the Microcosmic Orbit. Winter is a time to support the basic fire in the body, both to keep us warm, as well as to fuel our passions and spiritual evolution.
Harmonize Your Meridians and Nourish Inner Stillness
Traditional Daoist Medicine holds that Wintertime is the season of the Water Element. That means that it can be a season when people's back pain, knee pain, arthritis, or fatigue flare up - because their associated meridians need extra help at this time. Qigong masters down through the ages have designed movement and meditation practices meant to bring these subtle channels into balance.
Beyond this, though, Winter is a potent opportunity to teach us how to go within, to seek the stillness, and hear the inner wisdom that silence can bring us. The Qigong sets in this course are designed to attune you to this capacity to go deep within!
Take Full Advantage of the Energies of Winter
Utilize time-tested Qigong practices to empower you to go within, and bring healing and nourishment to the deepest levels of your being!
