With the chi kung (qigong) I will be teaching the following
forms during the week so they will have this information to take home
and apply to lifestyle change:
- patting down the chi
- shaking down the chi
- 9-movement chi permeating form
- 15-movement Incense chi kung
- 8 power energy exchange
- chi kung for cleansing the liver
- chi kung for kidneys and back pain
etc.
Aside
from formal sitting meditation, I will also provide introductory tai
chi instruction daily primarily with objective for people to let go of
trying to control or "be perfect" and just go with the flow. Also
walking meditation practice. Emphasis on showing up in our lives,
paying attention, telling the truth and no attachment to outcome.
