A PERSONAL INVITATION FROm BRUCE Frantzis

Explore how taoist five element practices, qigong, and meditation can help you renew and recharge.

Hi Folks,

Who hasn’t experienced some type of burnout these days? Nearly every aspect of our modern world seems tailor-made to overwhelm our natural rhythms and cycles.

This means that most people have become experts in ignoring the signals to rest and rejuvenate, leaving their internal fuel tank perpetually on “empty.”

The winter is nature’s season of the Water Element, a time of rest and renewal. 

Yet for many who feel out of sync with these natural rhythms, winter doesn’t feel like a needed time of rest, but more like a dark, depressing drudgery that still leaves you burning the candle at both ends. 

But it doesn’t have to be…

In contrast to this modern stress, Taoists have always been masters of energy management. How to generate qi, store it, and use it to feel fully alive, active, healthy, and strong. This knowledge is rooted in the observation of the natural world and its cycles, specifically how those cycles affect us both internally and externally.

Here is what we’ll be covering In the upcoming Water Five Elements Workshop:

Introductory Quickstart Session:
Immediate Access 
to a 60-minute, pre-workshop lesson training taught by Master Frantzis.

November 13-14, 2021:
2-Day Virtual Workshop: Over 8 hours of instruction, taught live by Master Frantzis and Senior Instructor Craig Barnes.

November 16-18, 2021:
3-Days of Guided Practices:
Three guided practice followup sessions are included in the course to review and absorb what you learned during the weekend workshop. Led by Senior Instructor Craig Barnes.

Join the workshop through professional, live-stream broadcast, and also enjoy lifetime access to recordings of each and every lesson and guided practice.

Winter is the time of the Water Element, a season of completion, preparing the ground for the growth and activity of spring. Your body and mind mirror these natural rhythms…If that rest and storing up of energy never happens, the ability to grow and thrive in the coming year’s cycle is compromised.

In this workshop, I’ll be teaching you energetic techniques that help to reverse these kinds of imbalances, while finding the connections that bring you back into better harmony within your internal and external life cycles.

Water Element energetic practices have the most powerful effects when done just before and during the winter season. They can radically benefit the vitality of your body, the downward flow and absorption of qi, increase emotional resilience to relieve anxiety and depression, enhance nervous system function, plus heighten awareness, and intuitive capacity.

The cumulative result of employing these practices is a strong harmonizing effect that helps you to shed stress, avoid exhaustion, and maintain a natural sense of creativity, energy, and flow.

These lessons have benefitted my own life beyond measure, and I’m looking forward to sharing some of them so that they can do the same for you.  

You have my warmest invitation to join us, and I hope to see you in the workshop.

Stay good,

Bruce Frantzis

The primary goals of tai chi and qigong are to relax and regulate the central nervous system, to release physical and emotional stress and to promote mental and emotional well-being.” – Bruce Frantzis

Extinguish Burnout

Our fast-paced, high-stress modern world can overtax your body and mind to the point you feel like there’s nothing left. Water Element practices teach how to extinguish the fires of burnout, and help you to bounce back from physical and emotional exhaustion and fatigue.

Harness the Winter Season

Winter is the time of the Water Element, a season of completion, preparing the ground for the growth and activity of spring. Learn to relieve seasonal depression and use the winter season as a time of renewal. The effects of Water Element qigong and meditation techniques are amplified when practiced in the winter.

Generate Stillness in Meditation

Settling into an easy and stable awareness will lay the foundation for deeper meditation. In the Taoist meditation tradition, creating a still and relaxed mind allows for diving further into the true nature of spirituality. At this stage, meditation helps you take full spiritual responsibility for yourself so you can become a relaxed, spontaneous, fully mature, and open human being. It can take you to a place deep inside of you that is absolutely permanent and stable.

The Power of the Lower Tantien

The lower tantien at the center of the belly is the energetic center that powers all of the body’s physicality, functioning almost like a battery. The stronger and healthier the lower tantien is, the stronger and healthier you are. This course will pay special attention to lower tantien practices that gather energy to recharge your body and mind.

Find Your Flow

Water Element techniques teach how to incorporate effortless ease and flow into your daily life and practice. This gives you the ability to calm your body and mind in motion and start shedding stress before it has a chance to accumulate.
