SUMMER SERIES:
QIGONG & NEIGONG TO TAKE ADVANTAGE OF
SUMMER’S ABUNDANCE & THE FIRE ELEMENT
Free Introduction May 11 ~ 7:00-8:30pm
12-week series May 18 – August 3~ 7:00-8:30pm
(On Zoom)
THE RETURNING YANG OF SPRING GROWS AND WARMS INTO THE FIREY LIGHT OF SUMMER. It is the time of abundance and even excessive Qi. The world is bright and green and full of fruit and flowers.
NOW IS THE TIME TO GROW YOUR QI AND STRENGTHEN YOUR ENERGY… but in the wise and grounded way of the Tao. We will continue our Ba Duan Jin that we started in the Spring Series, but now we will move into the more Yang/rigorous SHAOLIN BA DUAN JIN (8 BROCADES) using its sweeping movements and deep, held postures to our best advantage. We will supplement and support this with a collection of short Qigong from WUDANG that bring yin and yang together. Even though we are full of Yang Qi, we must not abandon the power of Yin and Inner work.
Beause the Light and Energies of Summer inspire us to activity and production, we will close class with the Inner Alchemy of the MICROCOSMIC ORBIT to balance and settle the energies and guide ourselves into a cooler, quieter state.
OTHER SUMMERTIME QIGONG:
We will use the full SHAMANIC SHAKING practice that moves through the whole body loosening and releasing stagnation and stuck Qi. We’ll use GOLDEN BALL QIGONG and others from MEDICAL QIGONG to gather and align ourselves with the Qi Field and bring in Qi. And we’ll borrow “HITTING” practices from Iron Shirt to help Summer’s Qi sink into our system.
Sounds like a lot! But we’ll lay the groundwork for the practices and ideas in the free-intro first classes. then build on those through the rest of the series.

Our longer, 12-week format allows us to move with the seasons and include Qigong and Neigong practices that take advantage of the seasonal energies and support practices that balance, heal and strengthen us. This longer format also allows us to spend more time with the core practices and go deeper into ‘owning’ them and our cultivations.
