Tai Chi and Qigong

​​​WINTER - YIN

Time to rest ~ nourish ~ flow

Organ - Kidney/bladder, Element - Water

 

​​ Winter in Chinese medicine and Qigong is a time when Mother Nature lies fallow.

A time of year when our Qi energy is given time to be conserved rather than expended. 

This happens naturally when we sleep and rest but winter is the time to rest more mindfully and conserve Qi so we can flourish in spring.

While the plants are storing energy in their roots and animals are dormant, humans can also take time to rest.  

This is not always easy to do when there are constant demands on our time and energy at work and at home.

We aim to flow like water with fluidity and grace.

In the cycle of the seasons our Qigong practice is to reflect waters ability to flow effortlessly and naturally. 

​This principle is known as Wuwei or non-doing.

We balance action with non-action bringing effortless effort into our practice - and into our daily life.

We aim to flow like water with fluidity and grace.

​​Our Qigong practice nurtures water's quality of fluid soft strength.  Allowing the body to float with the currents of water, gliding from one position to the next. 

Softening tension and easing discomfort.
