“Qi” means energy and “Gong” means skill or cultivation. So, Qi Gong is “the skill of cultivating your life-force energy.” Through movements, deep breathing, and meditation, Qi Gong helps you cultivate positive, life-force energy and promote healing from within.

Qigong can dramatically impact your health, whatever your age or background.  Easy to learn, a joy to perform, their regular practice will boost your play and work.  These movements are an ideal adjunct for health professionals wishing to enhance their performance, for martial artists, dancers, and other active people. They support other Healing Practices, including Reiki and Therapeutic Touch.  They work equally well to relieve stress and enliven those with more sedentary lifestyles.

The Heart expresses joy and unconditional love when its energy is open and flowing. 

• Poor circulation is a sign of Fire deficiency. Often, poor circulation manifests as feeling cold, even when it’s a reasonable temperature
• People who always need to be doing things often have an excess of Fire Element
• Stress and anxiety is another sign of a Fire imbalance. Similar to being easily agitated, stress and anxiety can indicate either excess or deficiency. 

Happy Heart Qigong- Works to Balance your Fire Energy 

Afternoon Session-  Yang Taiji Baduanjin sections 1-2+ Qigong for the eyes 

 Section 1– Peng and An. The word peng (掤), or ‘ward,’ is a special term used specifically in the practice of taijiquan. The Chinese character indicates the idea of ‘hands offering protection’ much in the way an awning protects from sun, rain, and snow. Peng is a passive move. An’ or ‘press’ 按 is an active move.  The Study of section 1 is to concretize the Taiji Symbol. 

Section 2– 21 Form Neigong—‘Strengthen Body, Mobilize Qi’. The second brocade is comprised of a sequence of twenty-one exercises that take the extending and contracting features of the first section somewhat further. Considered valuable for loosening the sinews and opening the meridians, the gestures of this section can also aid the development of martial kinetic energies. 

The Eyes- Qigong for the eyes, strengthen the eyes and the muscles and tendons that support the eyes. These exercises also have a neurological aspect that affects every cell in your body.
