qigong for health

Friday’s At 4pm- Radiant Living Center

In March we will be focusing on Heart Coherence.  

Heart coherence occurs when our breathing, heart rhythms, brain rhythms and hormonal response, are in sync with each other. The heart speeds up on inhalation and slows down on exhalation.
 
Heart coherence not only affects physical processes, but also our mental and emotional balance and composure. 

This shift in the heart rhythm in turn plays an important role in facilitating higher cognitive functions, creating emotional stability and facilitating states of calm.

Over time, this establishes a new inner-baseline reference, a type of implicit memory that organizes perception, feelings, and behavior. 

Without establishing a new baseline reference, people are at risk of getting “stuck” in familiar, yet unhealthy emotional and behavioral patterns and living their lives through the automatic filters of past familiar or traumatic experience.

The weekly Friday classes differ from the 6 week class series I teach on Tuesday's. They are entirely practice based (we spend less time in our intellect learning about the "why's and hows" and more time in our bodies just experiencing the practice).

These classes are made up of a Hatha Yoga warm up, Qigong Forms as described above, Breathwork and Visualization techniques.

Start class anytime in the month.
Dates Include: March 7th, 14th, 21st & 28th

8 brocades

TUESDAY’S 630-745PM

JAN 21ST TO FEB 25TH 2025

The 8 Brocades also referred to as Ba Duan Jin is one of the most popular Qigong practices dating back nearly 1000 years during the Song Dynasty in China. Qigong pronounced “Chee Gong”, is an ancient form of exercise that incorporates mindful movement, meditation, and breathing practices

The Eight Brocades is considered by many to be a form of Medical Qigong. Medical Qigong is a branch of Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM). Each of the Eight Brocade movements places an emphasis on healing certain areas related to the physical and energetic body. TCM emphasizes the healing of specific Zang/Fu organs and their related Acupuncture Meridians.

Ancient texts reveal that the Eight Brocades was also a form of Qigong designed to eliminate fatigue. Several of the eight exercises are designed specifically to eliminate fatigue and harness energy (qi) which allows for greater longevity.
There are numerous benefits from the Eight Brocades Qigong Practice including improved energy, vitality, bone density, strength, flexibility, balance, coordination, and longevity to name a few."
