Tai Chi, Iron Shirt Qigong and Tan Tien Qigong | 22-25 November 2024
Tai Chi is both a martial art and a way to cultivate your physical body, energy body and spirit body. This moving meditation is one of the most complete practices there is – it is both an expression of the Tao in movement and a practice to integrate the essence of the Tao. You will learn from Mantak Chia the inner structure of Tai Chi, the secrets most teachers won’t share with you!
Iron Shirt is one of the most important practices to master on the physical plane. It gives grounding and rooting, connecting you to the Earth energy. It allows you to store energy for use in higher level spiritual practices. Once an ancient martial art, now a health practice – it allows you to develop internal power through external techniques.
With Tan Tien Qigong you will learn the power of your Tan Tien – the center of activation and balancing of primal energies. The Tan Tien is a container of Qi and deserves adequate attention for its essential role in our energy management. You’ll learn the 11 animal postures and the Tiger and Dragon Breath to center and refine your energies and emotions.
In the workshops of this week you’ll learn to:
— Strengthen your internal body through rooting and spiralling – the inner work of Tai Chi Establish roots to the earth’s energy and build the foundation for higher spiritual work
— Connect with your abdomen as your first brain, enhancing its ability to store energy
