Tai Chi and Qigong
SPRING - RISING YANG
Beginnings - Creation - Activity - Expansion
Organ - Liver Element - Wood
The Wood energy of spring emerges from the darkness and emptiness of winter. Woods roots have absorbed nourishment from water in preparation for an abundant growth in spring.
'If the roots are deep, the energy is strong'
Chinese idiom
When we stand in Qigong we can visualise roots emerging form the soles of the feet connecting us to the earth. To 'drop down' and let go of rigidity or tension. We are asked to go beneath the surface of experience and know its depth.
Absorbing through reflection, insights into how our practice can nourish body, mind and spirit.
We practice Wuji - or 'emptiness stance' before any other movement begins. This aligns the body between heaven (Yang) and earth (Yin) allowing the human body to be the connection/conduit between these 2 great forces.
This stillness allows us the space to begin movement which balances yin and yang in the Tai Chi Form.
Our Qigong focus is to 'drop down' in a profound way enabling us to find a stable nourishing foundation.
Our practice is to find a healthy range of movement combined with stability.
Qigong promoting suppleness and strength.
