SKIP TO IN-PERSON REGISTRATION

This two-week Spiraling Energy Body intensive is a very special opportunity. It has not been offered in over a decade—and will not be available publicly again for the foreseeable future.

Spiraling Energy Body Qigong energizes the Fire Element—and is a cornerstone upon which advanced energy and neigong practices rests. Where Opening the Energy Gates cultivates the water element and draws energy downward, Spiraling Energy Body works in the opposite direction: dramatically raising your energy level and teaching you to master the movement of qi in circles and spirals throughout your body.

Rooted in the five elements of classical Daoist neigong, this practice builds on the same physical movements and Outer Dissolving work of Energy Gates—and takes them to a new level.

This course is taught by Master Bruce Frantzis, with Senior Instructors Craig Barnes, Paul Cavel, and Bill Ryan assisting throughout. Over the course of these two weeks, Bruce will teach the core practices of Spiraling Energy Body, including how to:

• Direct the upward flow of energy through your body
• Move qi along the body’s spiraling pathways
• Neutralize and transform unhealthy internal qi and negative environmental energy
• Project energy to any part of the body at will
• Connect the body’s energy matrix and gates
• Work with the body’s core energy channels and dantiens 
• Integrate spiraling energetics across a range of arms-extended standing qigong postures

An Important Note Before You Register

Spiraling Energy Body is a powerful qigong form that takes what is learned in Opening the Energy Gates qigong to the next level. Experience and competency in Energy Gates—specifically the downward dissolving practices—is strongly recommended before attending. Without that foundation, this course will be significantly less effective and could be destabilizing or even harmful.

The best way to prepare is to attend Daoist Water Method Foundations: Opening the Energy Gates Qigong, July 18–23, held the week immediately before this course.
