Circle Walking is the first of bagua’s two foundation practices. More ancient than tai chi, Circle Walking techniques help train the mind and body to accept change—a valuable skill given the fast pace of modern life. This practice is great for relieving stress and maximizing your energy level.

Like the monks of ancient times who practiced bagua, people today do Circle Walking to achieve three intertwined goals:
• Opening the mind to achieve calmness, stillness and clarity
• Generating a strong, healthy body with relaxed nerves and great stamina
• Developing internal balance and, perhaps most importantly, the ability to maintain it in a rapidly changing world.

Bruce will teach you to build the essential infrastructure to eventually realize bagua’s full potential. You will first learn to walk the circle and then to maintain static arm postures while you walk. This will include the basic physical mechanics of stepping, turning the waist, changing directions, forming the palm and moving the arms. As a Lineage Master, Bruce teaches bagua not only as a healing and martial art, but also as a form of moving meditation.

He will focus on helping you:
• Calm your mind
• See from your lower tantien
• Look for and recognize the signs of blocked energy, not only physically and energetically, but also emotionally and mentally.

Some fundamental neigong components from Bruce’s Opening the Energy Gates of Your Body program will be included to help you to focus your attention and awareness in order to work with the flow of chi in your body.
