Class 20: Working with intention to Heal: Bringing Love and Compassion into our Practice

Description

Learn how to bring intention (Yi) into your chi field. Do we bring intention into the chi field or does it bring it into us?

Some specifics of the class:

• How can a beginner experience chi? Taoist Breathing methods activate wuji, the mother of chi. The relationship between the western relaxation response and activation of chi; “paradoxical intention” as a key to opening the chi of compassion.

• Distinguishing between healing and curing.

• Standing Meditation Qigong with and without intention. What do you Stand for? What are you rooted into in your life?

• How to access “the heart of space” while practicing “Yi Chuan Standing Meditation?”

• Tai Chi Chuan: Four Dimensions of Purpose. Self-Healing spiritual unfoldment, self-defense and changing one’s life stance psychologically.

• What does this statement in Western Alchemy mean? “Perform no alchemical operation until you first transform the substance in the vessel into the prima materia.” What is the analogy between this Western Mystery Tradition instruction and the Eastern Mystery Tradition’s practice of Wuji qigong. How is this foundational teaching a key to healing?

• How to find the “Golden Mean” of chi cultivation by not over extending or collapsing.
