In this hour, we'll practice my favorite qigong exercises for
Chinese Medicine teaches us that about half of our diseases trace back to how we relate to our emotions. This qigong practice is one way of tending to that crucial connection between physical and emotional health.
At the same time, many health challenges these days are related to overwork and overstimulation, because we (and I do mean, "we," myself included!) don't rest as much as our bodies would like during the dark hours of each night, and during the winter season of the year. Although it doesn't replace rest, qigong is one powerful way to help build our reserves and stay resilient.
These practices are simple, safe, and easy to practice online.
In order for this online gathering to be a qigong class where I can see and support you, please have your video ON. This workshop will NOT be recorded. It is happening live only.
I'm grateful to my teachers for practicing and passing on these traditions. One of the practices we'll do comes from the Jin Jing Gong lineage I studied in Chinese Medicine school at NUNM, with Heiner Fruehauf, and the other from an internal martial arts tradition called Xing Yi Quan, which I trained with NATSTA, with Vince Black.
