ABOUT THE CLASS
The Chinese character for qi is a combination of the characters for “rice” and “air.” Qi is life force, prime energy, vital essence. An abundant and unrestricted flow of qi through the human body and energy systems yields health, vitality, vigor, longevity, serenity, power, calm, and many other physical, emotional, mental, spiritual, psychological, and energetic benefits. In this class students will learn to cultivate and increase the flow of qi through their bodies and energy fields through doing various relaxation and breathing techniques, imaging and simple movements. These techniques will provide tremendous benefits on many levels to one who practices regularly...one who dedicates sustained energy and effort over time. If you’ve been feeling the intensity of the times we’re living in, what you learn in this class will assist you in moving gracefully, joyously and powerfully in your life and into the new world we’re birthing.
