The Yi Jin Jing Qi Gong was designed by Bodhidharma, the founder of Chan/Zen

Buddhism to enable monks of the Shaolin Temple to sit in meditation for long periods. It also became the “secret method” to empower the monk’s Kung Fu. Many people think of Qi Gong as a set of movements for health. It is so much more than that. True Qi Gong can be done standing still, sitting, or even laying down and can lead to deep states of meditation and profound longevity.

This workshop will introduce you to the principle of movement within stillness and stillness within movement.

We will cover:

• An intellectual understanding from first hand experience of what Qigong is and how to practice it.

• Relaxing Tendons, Floating Bones - Open and release tension from head to toe with a simple set of movements.

• Sitting Qi Gong - Developing relaxed concentration through a seated posture and “Kidney Breathing.”

• Yi Jin Jing - Nourish your muscles, tendons, and organs through 24 different sophisticated exercises that align the body and move the qi, while remaining in stillness developed from the seated practice.

• Post Standing Qi Gong - Develop an awareness of the inside of your body, align your posture, and become deeply centered through holding a static stance.

• Advice for creating a daily practice.

When we are still, we can direct the movement of qi with our mind, creating movement within stillness. When we move, we can rest our mind in open awareness, allowing stillness within movement. If we practice diligently, we can experience stillness within the movement of life and a flourishing inner life of movement, even when we are still.
