Foundations of Spiraling Energy Body Qigong
September 30 - October 2
SKIP TO IN-PERSON REGISTRATION
Spiraling Energy Body Qigong is a profound internal practice that can raise your energy level dramatically. It teaches you to understand experientially how energy moves in circles and spirals through your body, and through practice, enables you to project energy to any part of your body at will.
As the practice unfolds, you fully open and balance all the points (gates) in the body and its energy field, then the secondary channels, and finally the right, left, and central channels of energy and dantiens, opening our physical and spiritual core. This energy circulation then powers all the various forms (qigong, t’ai chi, ba gua chang etc).
The physical movements of Spiraling Energy Body Qigong are the same as the physical container of Energy Gates Qigong. Yet internally, where Energy Gates Qigong emphasizes the downward currents of energy in the body, Spiraling Energy Body Qigong teaches you to safely and powerfully work with rising currents of energy. Where Energy Gates represents the water element in the Energy Arts System, Spiraling has the essence of the fire element.
Pre-requisites for Attendees: In order to best integrate the material from the course, students should have a basic understanding of the standing dissolving process in Energy Gates Qigong, as well as the 1st Swing.
