Qigong (chi gung) is a way of bringing forth our natural vitality. Qi (chi) is the energy that moves through all life. Gung is a cultivation, practice and developing relationship with our vitality. Just as we may cultivate a garden or practice a musical instrument, so we may practice qigong to nurture the life force within ourselves.
Embryology is the study of the first 8 weeks of our intrauterine life. Today, our cells hold our experience and embodiment of each moment of our embryological development and how we chose to embody space. Space existed before we came to be. We informed space and space informed us. Though time, particular embryological structures have faded away. We still hold the memory of these early phases of our existence and can re-member the range of foundational vibrational and cellular states.
These classes cover basic principles and forms of qigong and how we may be in-formed through accessing embryological foundations. Opening the body and experiencing simplicity allows us to resolve to the present. Each class provides a frame and context for some essential aspects of embryology applied to qigong. No prerequisite of embryology or qigong is needed to attend.
These classes are appropriate for:
- The novice with no experience of qigong or embryology
- The experienced practitioner who wants to deepen and expand their practice
- Those interested in applying embryological principles with practical experience
These highly experiential classes will benefit beginners and experienced folks alike. We incorporate embryological moments and transitions based on the embodiment principles of Body-Mind Centering®. Participants will learn theory and receive guidance for simple and safe movement forms.
To participate, you will need:
- A well-lit area so that you appear clearly on the screen
- A quiet area large enough where you can stand and freely swing your arms
- Simple comfortable clothing allowing unrestricted movement
- A chair or stool for sitting with your thighs parallel to the floor
