Description
I hope the perspective of Four Corners being a way to pray to the four directions stays with you. Many spiritual traditions (particularly Native American) use facing the four directions as a form of prayer. Learn the state-specific additions that the Four Directions Movement of Tai Chi adds to the tradition of Four Direction of prayer through invocation of the Four Fixed directions of the Zodiac. Each different tradition transmits state-specific purposes for healing, etc.”Four Corners” is sure to add to your repertoire of spiritual embodiment practices.
You will discover how the Tai Chi Four Directions has self-defense applications and ways of energizing the kidneys.

“I did not go out of our home during the daily terrorist attacks in Israel. I practiced Michael Mayer’s Bodymind Healing exercises regularly to regain my calm. They relieved my tight body and took my mind off of the stress and worries to be more present to others, to help them deal with their fears and find an oasis of tranquility in the middle of the war zone.I continue to use Bodymind Healing Qigong to ease everyday stresses and bring me back to my inner sanctuary of equanimity.”
