Description

Qigong Class with Gong Bath and Tea Meditation Qigong is an ancient Taoist practice and is the oldest branch of Traditional Chinese Medicine. Some researchers trace it even further back to the dances and movements of Chinese shamanic practices or Wuism. Through these ritualist dances, the shamans would enter into a state of deep trance to communicate with the spirit world. In more modern times, Qigong has been used as a martial art, spiritual practice and as a healing modality to restore health and vitality to the body, mind and spirit. It has been known to lower blood pressure, reduce stress and anxiety, balance emotions (anger, grief, fear, worry), and may even reduce the risk of chronic illness. It is meditative, deeply relaxing, grounding and energizing. It is guided by breath, movement, and intention. This will be an evening comprised of gentle Qigong exercises, followed by a gong bath to further encourage relaxation and the movement of 'qi' (life force energy) in the body. Tea will also be served. **Please wear comfortable clothing and bring a yoga mat, blanket, pillow, water and anything else that will allow you to feel comfortable and supported.
