SUMMARY:Advanced Heaven and Earth Qigong
DESCRIPTION:SKIP TO IN-PERSON REGISTRATION\n\nFor our Summer Virtual Training Camp\, Click Here\nThe Heaven and Earth form is one of the most widely practiced qigong sets within the Energy Arts System. It is very popular not only for being accessible to beginners but also for its profound capacity to delve into the internal arts. This practice incorporates neigong (internal energy techniques)\, making it an incredibly effective tool for enhancing your well-being. \nMaster Bruce has been teaching Heaven and Earth Qigong for over 40 years. After all these years of teaching and refinement\, he is now ready to guide students to the next level of this transformative practice. \nWhat You Will Learn\nMaster Bruce\, along with his Senior Instructors\, will lead an exclusive intensive on the deeper\, more advanced components of the Heaven and Earth qigong set. While the first stage of the form emphasizes the joints\, ligaments\, and fascia\, this advanced course (Level 7 and 8 material) will focus on even deeper layers of the body and mind\, including: \n\nThe internal organs (lungs\, liver\, heart\, etc.)\nThe center of the bones\, including the marrow\nBlood vessels\nTendons\nThe brain and its internal processes\nThe deeper workings of the mind\n\nHeaven and Earth is layered with multiple energetic levels\, each offering profound potential for growth. With this new depth\, you will gain further opportunities to transform your mind\, body\, and spirit. \nPrerequisites\nFor the best experience in this advanced course\, it is recommended that you already know the basic Heaven and Earth form. If you are not yet familiar with it\, we highly encourage you to learn the form before attending. \nTo maximize your results\, it’s also beneficial to have a basic understanding of how to work with ligaments\, fascia\, and other foundational aspects of the practice. If you are new to these concepts\, we recommend taking Bills Ryan’s Beginner’s Course the week prior to this event. This course is specifically designed to prepare both beginners and intermediate practitioners for the deeper teachings of Heaven and Earth. \nIf you are unable to attend Bill’s class and are not yet familiar with the form\, consider exploring our related resources\, which can guide you through the practice. You can also connect with a local Energy Arts Heaven and Earth Qigong instructor via our Instructor Map. Here are some additional resources: \n\nEnergy Arts Live Winter Session starting Jan 7\, 2025 – Heaven and Earth Qigong Live Online Instruction by Senior Instructor Craig Barnes tailored for the summer events HERE\nHeaven and Earth Workshop Series with Senior Instructor Paul Cavel starting January 2025 in California HERE\nHeaven and Earth Qigong Online Program HERE\nHeaven and Earth Qigong Book Volume 1 HERE\nHeaven and Earth Qigong Instructors HERE\n\nWe look forward to helping you deepen your practice and discover the transformative power of Heaven and Earth Qigong! \n  \n\n  \nMaster Bruce Frantzis\nBruce Frantzis is a recognized Daoist Lineage Master and the Founder of Energy Arts.

SUMMARY:Beginner to Intermediate Heaven and Earth Qigong
DESCRIPTION:SKIP TO IN-PERSON REGISTRATION\n\nFor our Summer Virtual Training Camp\, Click Here\nThe Heaven and Earth Form consists of two movements that are practiced together as one\, with repeated practice bringing greater depth over time. As a beginner\, you can learn the movements relatively quickly and begin to notice significant benefits. As you continue\, you can gradually integrate more subtle neigong (internal development) techniques\, enhancing the depth and quality of your practice throughout your life. Over time\, these practices will help you relax\, balance\, and quiet your body\, qi\, and mind\, supporting healing and boosting vibrant health and energy. \nThis course will help beginner and intermediate practitioners advance their knowledge of Heaven and Earth. It will also serve as preparation to learn the specific advanced Heaven and Earth material Master Bruce will be teaching during his two-week training which will follow this course. \nWhat You Will Learn\nThis course will be taught by Bill Ryan assisted by other experienced instructors. Beginner and intermediate practitioners will learn together\, with beginner practitioners encouraged to focus primarily on the more superficial layers of the body’s soft tissues (skin and superficial fascia and muscles) and intermediates primarily more deeply (deeper muscles and fascia\, and ligaments). You will learn: \n\nThe two movements of the form – their physical shapes\, circles\, and rhythms\nWithin the movements\, how to fully engage (lengthen) and join all the tissues of your body into one elastic and fluid whole\nHow to lengthen your arm and leg tissues inward toward your torso and spine and outward to your hands\, feet\, and head in a rhythmical fashion\nHow to join your spine through your arms and legs to your feet and hands\nKey qi circulation patterns generated by the movements and your intent (including the macro- and micro-cosmic orbits)\nBreathing patterns and rhythms within the form\n\n\nPrerequisites\nThere are no formal prerequisites for this course. \nRecommended: Familiarity with the standing alignments and sinking qi practices from Opening the Energy Gates of Your Body. \n\nSenior Instructor Bill Ryan\nBill Ryan has spent over 40 years practicing the internal arts and also founded and directed one of the largest tai chi and qigong schools in the country. Bill currently is the director of Toward Harmony Tai Chi and Qigong in Northampton\, MA\, USA.

SUMMARY:The Daoist Meditation Practices of the Daodejing
DESCRIPTION:SKIP TO REGISTRATION (Online and In-Person)\nOnline Attendance Now Open for Registration!\nA Lifetime in the Making…\nMaster Bruce Frantzis learned the Daodejing in Chinese for more than a decade\, initially as part of his Daoist Priest training and completing it with his master\, Liu Hung Chieh\, in the traditional way: passed down orally from generation to generation for millennia. The words contained in the Daodejing are only the beginning\, as it takes a much deeper and committed understanding as well as accumulated experience in particular meditation practices in order to fully embody and live the ideals and wisdom contained in the text. In this workshop\, Master Frantzis will teach how to apply the principles of Daoist Meditation as expressed in the inner teachings of the Daodejing in daily life. \n  \nWhat You Will Learn\nMaster Frantzis has never before taught the Daoist meditation practices of the Daodejing as a formal event to this degree of depth\, so it is a mystery to all of us what may unfold. This is a truly rare event to be a part of\, and an absolute must for anyone dedicated to Daoist practices or philosophy interested in taking a more spiritual path through life: the road less traveled. It is suggested to familiarize yourself with the recent release Daodejing: The Oral Tradition to best prepare yourself for the teachings and transmissions during this event. This workshop will focus on the practical aspects of the Daodejing instead of the text itself. \n To make the most of any of this summer’s events and achieve the best personal growth\, it is recommended to attend all 3 weeks in-person. \n  \n\n  \nMaster Bruce Frantzis\nBruce Frantzis is a recognized Daoist Lineage Master and the Founder of Energy Arts. He trained for over a decade and a half in China\, India\, and Japan and worked extensively as a qigong tuina doctor. For more than 50 years he has studied and taught the martial\, healing\, and spiritual practices of ancient China.

The heart of his tradition is the cultivation of Qi (chi)\, the internal energy that connects the mind\, body\, and spirit to the underlying consciousness of the universe (Dao). \n\n\n\n\n  \n\n\nThe Benefits of Attending In-Person\n\n\nIn-person attendance is always recommended.

You will not only be watching live\, but will also be able to ask questions and interact with our global community at the same time.  \nWhether you attend online or in-person you will receive access to the RECORDINGS of every class. This gives you the tools to learn at your convenience from wherever you are in the world. \nYou can DOWNLOAD recorded classes for permanent offline access on your device. \nExperience the ease of learning from your home with multiple camera angles\, clear audio\, and live Q&As.

SUMMARY:Moving Qi Through the Body with the Swings of Qigong
DESCRIPTION:SKIP TO REGISTRATION (Online and In-Person)\nOnline Attendance Now Open for Registration!\n\nNew Students Welcome!\nThe Swings of Energy Gates Qigong is a simplified form of the original Qigong Swings process. The complete process includes about twenty types of swings that Daoist Qigong practitioners have used for millennia. Over time these practices were distilled into just three swings to create the optimal exercise for a short set. In this workshop\, Bruce will be delving deeper into the Swings of Qigong. \nThe fundamental purpose of these exercises is not only to make the body looser but to maximize qi and blood flow increasing internal capacities and refining and enhancing the quality of the nervous system. Traditionally martial artists and qigong practitioners would practice swings to learn how to turn the waist properly for applications such as pushing hands and simultaneously build power\, smoothness and Qi flow. Becoming proficient in the swings will improve all aspects of your martial arts practice. \n  \n\nReleasing Stagnant Qi and Improving Circulation\nA major physical problem of the body is the accumulation of stagnant chi in the body. This can negatively affect mobility\, health\, and longevity. The opening and closing action in each of the swings can be used to compress and then release the stagnant Qi where it is compromised\, breaking it up and moving it through the body. Learning and practicing this will improve the circulation of both Qi and Blood. \nWhat You Will Learn\n \nIn this seminar\, Master Bruce Frantzis and Senior Instruction Craig Barnes will explain more advanced ways of doing the Qigong Swings and how to upgrade them. Bruce will be doing a deep dive into this short but complex set of exercises focusing on: \n\nFeeling more comfortable inside of your body\nLearning to compress and store your stagnant qi and then suddenly release and circulate it throughout your entire body\nReleasing and stretching the body’s fascia\nStrengthen all the parts of the body that store chi and then release it for better blood circulation\, enhancing every major way that blood moves throughout the body\nReleasing the joints of the body\n\nIf time allows and depending on the capacity of participants Bruce will also delve into: \n\nIncreasing the smoothness and power of the electrical energy of the nerves so that chi reaches every part of the body\nEnabling all the body’s joints to move freely and without restrictions\, a prerequisite for effective martial arts and Tai Chi Push Hands\nApplications of the swings in martial arts\nIncreasing the power and smoothness of all horizontal and downward strikes and throws\nGetting the energy inside the body to manifest-release and absorb in the hands\nReleasing and healing specific bodily areas – including those that are injured for better longevity\n\nTo make the most of any of this summer’s events and achieve the best personal growth\, it is recommended to attend all 3 weeks in-person. \n  \n\n  \nMaster Bruce Frantzis\nBruce Frantzis is a recognized Daoist Lineage Master and the Founder of Energy Arts. He trained for over a decade and a half in China\, India\, and Japan and worked extensively as a qigong tuina doctor. For more than 50 years he has studied and taught the martial\, healing\, and spiritual practices of ancient China. He teaches qigong\, meditation\, and tai chi (and the related arts of baguazhang and xingyi) and has authored more than a dozen books on these subjects. The heart of his tradition is the cultivation of Qi (chi)\, the internal energy that connects the mind\, body\, and spirit to the underlying consciousness of the universe (Dao). \n  \nSenior Instructor Craig Barnes\nCraig Barnes is a Senior Instructor in the Energy Arts system and has been practicing and teaching tai chi\, qigong\, meditation\, and the internal arts for over 30 years. He has studied actively with Master Frantzis since 1987 and has taught his own courses all over the world.
