Qigong

We will be learning a short yet powerful gigong form from the Taoist sacred mountain of Wudang: Great Spiraling Dragon Qigong. In this form we will be drawing yang qi from the sun and yin qi from the moon and earth and spiraling that energy into our whole body. This is a wonderful practice for inviting great energy into our being throughout the year!

Taoist Philosophy

We will also work with the ancient work of Lao Tzu’s Tao Te Ching using Solala’s book, Practicing the Tao Te Ching: 81 Steps On The Way (published by Sounds True). In this ver- sion of the ancient spiritual work, Solala presents Lao Tzu’s work as a manual for self-cul- tivation, offering a specific practice (qigong, meditation etc.) for each of the 81 chapters of Lao Tzu’s book, many of which are taken directly from the text as well as from other Taoist sources. This will be an opportunity to delve into some of the chapters of this fa- mous work from a Taoist viewpoint and to do some of the practices it reveals.

Meditation

Solala will be offering some guided meditations to connect your shen (spirit) to the Source of all life (Tao), balance your organ systems and open your body/mind/spirit to deep balance and healing.
