Qigong for Winter De-Stressing

December 11 @ 6:00 pm - 7:00 pm
Donation

Learn simple practices to help you de-stress during the hectic holiday season (when the rest of nature is slowing down and going dormant), including Self-Healing Massage (An Mo Gong), acupressure points, and simple Qigong movements and meditations that reset your nervous system, gently strengthen your core, align your spine, and calm and brighten your mind. Beginners are welcome in this all-levels class. All the practices may be performed either seated or standing, so come as you are. Unwind, have fun (this helps you relax!), and learn simple ways to find and maintain your center—tools you can then share with your friends and family.

On this land of the Cayuse, Umatilla, and Walla Walla nations, Rae Diamond teaches practices from various Qigong traditions, including Dayan (Wild Goose), Wuji (Primordial), Bone Marrow Washing, Yijing Medical Qigong, and Healing Sounds, as well as a variety of dao yin (cleansing, stretching, and strengthening practices) and meditation techniques, all influenced by their studies of Wild Goose Qigong with master, Dr. Bingkun Hu, a disciple of legendary grandmaster, Yang Mei Jun. Rae offers a rare combination of intricate attention to physical alignment, mechanics of movement, breath, Qi flow, movements of Yin and Yang, and seasonal influences to their students. Their approach is informed by Classical Chinese medicine studies with Neijing scholar, Dr. Edward Neal, and decades of practice and study of Qigong, Yoga, Reiki, Wu Xing (5 phases/elements), Yin-Yang, meditation, astrology, numerology, and shamanic techniques. bit.ly/raeqigong
