QIGONG

It was through Qigong that Ancient Masters discovered the secrets of Chinese Medicine and frameworks for understanding the Universe, Nature, and our place within it. 

Qigong is an energy practice. Our Meridian Network is an energetic system that acts like a grid connecting from the surface to deep within every organ. Qigong accesses this network through specific Meridian stretches and standing postures. When you place yourself in a standing posture you align yourself like a “plug” connecting your grid into Universal energy and consciousness.       

Qigong has been used to support healing many physical and emotional conditions. These conditions include pain, hypertension, diabetes, hormonal imbalances, emotional imbalances, autoimmune conditions, and cancer. This is because at the root EVERYTHING is energy. With sufficient flow and sufficient energy, healing is ALWAYS possible.  

There are many forms of Qigong but not all forms are equal in their ability to impact Body, Mind, Spirit healing. In general, there are forms that are taught by form and those that are taught by form and message. 

Practices that embody message have been passed down over 1000’s of years through a lineage of Ancient Masters. When you practice you connect to this message through the form. I am trained in Wu Ming Qigong. This lineage originated with Lao Tzu, the author of the Tao Te Ching and has been passed down through my teacher Grand Master Nan Lu.  Wu Ming is translated from the Tao Te Ching to mean No Name.  

What has originated at the beginning of life holds a name.  That which goes back to the original root of life source has No Name.  This practice embodies the Tao.  Without having to read or understand these concepts, practicing Wu Ming Qigong opens your connection to the Heart and your intuitive mind.

quality vs. quantity

The power of any practice depends upon both quality and quantity.  The quality of practice depends upon your connection as you open to the movements and the standing postures.  If you are distracted, extremely fatigued, or overwhelmed by emotions, the quality of your connection will be lower.  Choosing a time and space that allows you to tune in is ideal.  If you are overwhelmed by emotions, you may need to practice Taoist Emotional Cleansing or Spirit Gate Breathing before you drop into your Qigong practice.  

The more you practice, you will naturally cultivate a higher quality.  You can also enhance the quality of your practice with your emotions and imagination.  Through the practice you are connecting into YOU, your unique Spirit.  Using music that moves you while you practice can help awaken these connections.  

In addition, the standing postures depend upon your time held in connection.  If you open for a few minutes you receive a small benefit; however, the benefit increases exponentially with time.  I encourage you to slowly build the time you CONTINUOUSLY hold a standing posture.  Push yourself to 30 minutes and beyond!

Anything you feel within your body physically and emotionally, while practicing Qigong, is your energetic processing.  It is happening for GOOD!  If the experience becomes intense push yourself to hold the posture as long as possible.  These are the moments of breakthrough!
