Movement practice

“It is the Autumn Equinox! 2020 -- AYEAR CARVED INTO HISTORY WITH FURY - Intense Weather, Fire, Water, Disease – Holy Qi!

We are soooooo fortunate to have Qigong and Tai Chi in our lives!

AND, the incredible wisdom teachings of the ancient Chinese tribes as well as all other great wisdom traditions teach us of the power of building inner resiliency.

The invitation of autumn is to reflect, slow down, let  go – turn within, perhaps look back.  In the tradition of the Chinese Wu Xing – Five Elements, Five Phases -- the Equinoxes and Solstices are about digesting (Earth) and separating the useful from the waste.

Clearly, there is a lot to digest now. Autumn is especially associated with the Lungs & the Metal Element and the character qualities of sadness/grief  and the opposite, Courage. May your sadness/grief be limited. May your courage be immense! May your Qi be supremely ample!

TAKE A MOMENT - Long, Slow, Deep Breath – Are you separating the useful from the waste in your life? In this season that can depreciate through sadness and grief can you locate courage & resilience in yourself and encourage courage in others.”- Dr. Roger Jahnke

SLEEP AND INSOMNIA

“No matter what disease risk there is in your family, what diagnosis you may have, what medication you take, what surgery you have had, what doctor you are seeing—it is always reasonable to take better care of ourselves.  Qigong is one of the best self care practices no matter if you are looking to prevent illness, manage a current illness or optimize wellbeing.

There are many causes for sleep challenges (and other health challenges) but here are some of the many solutions:

1).  Practice Qigong 

We are using Healer Within Qigong, also known as Bu Zheng Qigong.  Bu Zheng is rooted in this rich history of ancient tribal origins.  Bu means- make strong, enhance.  Zheng-means the coherent interrelated functions and systems of the whole self.  Bu Zheng means maximize the integrated, interactive, holistic version of the self-the whole person, the whole self-at all levels:  Spirit Mind Body.When we are well, Bu Zheng Qigong sustains and enhances- insures wellbeing and functional capacity.  Health Insurance.  When we are not well, distressed, uncomfortable, I’ll, suffering, Bu Zheng Qigong awakens , nourishes and enhances inner healing resources and functions.Bu Zheng Qigong- Vitality Enhancement Qigong- is specifically designed for designed for all beings- sick or well.

2). Try this 4 part breath practice:

Inhale through nose to belly then chest.  Hold for 3-5 seconds.  Exhale slowly.

REPEAT:  Do this for about 4to 5 breaths a minute, for 5 minutes- that is about 20 breaths.

3).  Cultivate the capacity to deflect distressing thoughts.”

Can Golf, Tennis, MMA, Running, Basketball, Skiing (& other sports) be cross-trained with Tai Chi (& Qigong)?  @qigongtaichiutah

According to Tai Chi for Health, "The carved turn is a perfect meditation...your body is relaxed , alert, the arms (as you hold your ski poles) loosely embracing as a ball of energy.  Center your consciousness in the body's center.  Breathe deeply and easily.  Your shoulders carry no tension..."

As you ski down a hill carving turns your movement is rooted in your feet, led by your waist and you shift your weight from the left to the right as you propel yourself."

Tai Chi can be applied to many other sports like tennis, golf, MMA, running, basketball, ballet & others- see Full article below.

Who else could use a heavy dose of some of that right now? I know I could! These are all things we collectively need as we navigate new territory during the COVID-19 pandemic.” -Kristen Suleman
