Chi Kung class 9: Water Qigong

Beginning with an aside… due to holiday travel and lodging in new places, I went four days without doing my usual 30 – 45 minutes of qigong in the morning, and I am really feeling it. Just doing 20 minutes of it tonight helped to right the ship as it were. It is interesting, butContinue reading “Chi Kung class 9: Water Qigong”

Chi Kung class 8

Hello Dear Readers, I have skipped a few descriptions of classes in the past few weeks. Been staying pretty busy. And I consider myself to be privileged to lead Chi Kung – I am slowly discovering what it means to be a Chi Kung (qigong) teacher. We met at a new venue today. An idyllic,Continue reading “Chi Kung class 8”

Upcoming Winter Retreat at the Beach

Hello dear ones! I am excited to announce that we are doing another Winter Buddhist Retreat at the beach. Last year’s retreat was powerful, transformative and heart-warming to another level. I yearn to do that more often! And here we are again. It will be from Dec 19th – 30th. I am assisting in theContinue reading “Upcoming Winter Retreat at the Beach”

Quietude of a Womb Surround

Yesterday, we completed a Womb Surround process workshop (PPN work – pre- and perinatal therapy). It was a three-day workshop, with four participants. Each person took a 2 – 3 hour turn over the course of the three days, and we delved deep. I was the assistant to two very proficient facilitators. It is amazingContinue reading “Quietude of a Womb Surround”

Qigong makes one a better lover: benefits of a qigong practice

If you are looking for a post about specific Taoist practices of sexuality, look at Daniel Reid’s book – the Tao of Health, Sex and Longevity; or seek out the Jade Dragon / White Tigress books. Mantak Chia’s books also provide a lot of specifics around sexual practices. I was discussing what little I knowContinue reading “Qigong makes one a better lover: benefits of a qigong practice”

Inverse relationship between the container and the obstacles

I am very fortunate. Thank you karma! And I am so grateful for all of my precious heart teachers. They have taught me the methods for expanding my heart container, my soul container, my psychic container as it were. And with that expansion comes the added benefit of obstacles seeming smaller and smaller – orContinue reading “Inverse relationship between the container and the obstacles”

Pilates workout!

If you read my previous post, I have been processing an old bit of shock and numbness from my birth (for a while now – but it was more up in the past few weeks). I had a great session today with a group of compassionate, graceful healing facilitators which definitely shifted a layer orContinue reading “Pilates workout!”

a storm brews beneath a placid front

If you are an avid reader of this blog, you may know that I throw the I Ching coins from time to time (a divination tool from China that is at least 3,000 years old). I work with a unique interpretation of the I Ching (Yi Jing) written by Julie Henderson, the founder of ZapchenContinue reading “a storm brews beneath a placid front”

Chi Kung class 4

Sometimes the basics are all you need. They are in fact the foundation on which the rest of the material is built! This class I am leading is full of transition – some people missing a class here and there. Hence I am going nice and slow, plodding along through the basics. Of course thatContinue reading “Chi Kung class 4”

Chi Kung class 3

There is a difference between knowing the path, and walking the path. I’m not quite there yet. There is also something to be said for experiencing deep wisdom teachings from a fellow human being directly (in-person somatic transmission). Therefore I am not going to say very much in this blog post. [Subtext – if youContinue reading “Chi Kung class 3”
