Welcome to Seasonal Qi online for Winter on Saturday, January 13th, 2024 at 10 am, where we will celebrate the season with Qigong for health

Spring Seasonal Qi
2024-03-23 10:00 - 11:00 | Online – Zoom, United States
Now is the season of leaving the Yin of Winter and embracing the Yang of Spring. Spring suggests renewal and regeneration, a burst of new energy that can bring both negative and positive change. Think of the joy of a new job, moving house or retiring, and the stresses that may come with each. With the gentle movements of Qigong and Tai Chi we can move through this new season with expectancy, energized to align with the best of what this season offers.
Wood represents the element of Spring, when a very active energy brings growth and progress. Branching out may come with visions and the need for wise decision making, which calls for flexibility and open heartedness. The color green symbolizes growth and new possibilities.
The organs of the spring are liver and gallbladder. In traditional Chinese medicine, the role of the liver is the smooth flow of Qi throughout the body. When we’re not aligned with what we’re doing, we feel stuck. Thus the liver energy is out of balance, anger appears, with all its attending emotions of impatience, frustration and stress. We may notice this in neck pain or digestive issues.
Holding onto anger causes our liver energy to stagnate. Anger harms no one but ourselves as we feel unable to move ahead. Spring can be a time to notice this and release it as we see nature bursting forth in exuberant color and growth. With that release comes planning and execution of our visions, with the gallbladder in charge of decision-making. Creativity flows and a time of expansion follows.
Movement encourages the smooth flow of Liver Qi so please join us.

Summer Seasonal Qi, June 22, 2024
2024-06-22 10:00 - 11:00 | Online – Zoom, United States
You are warmly invited to join us in a celebration of Summer Seasonal Qi, June 22, 2024, online at 10 am
Summer is the season when nature expands, bursting with mature fruit, abundance, and color. There’s a joy and happy energy in summer that is contagious.
Fire is the element of summer and directs us to shine our unique Self in this world. It helps bring us to our heights, moving us to the fulfillment of our plans & dreams. Fire expands outward and up, teaching us how to move from the heart
out into our world.
The heart and small intestines are the organs represented in this season. When we are balanced in summer, joy, love and contentment are present. When we are out of balance, we may find ourselves scattered, insecure or discouraged. It might look like a schedule that’s too full, as we try to fit in way more than the hours allow. Or perhaps skipping meals and exercise routines because of sudden inspiration for something else.
In summer we are encouraged to balance Fire within us and to enjoy abundance. We invite you to join our Team members in Summer Seasonal Qi to learn and move in ways that fulfill.
Please join us Saturday June 22nd, 2024, at 10 am for our online Seasonal Qi.
This 60-minute Zoom Seasonal Qi event is free. However, you must register to receive the Zoom link.

Winter Seasonal Qi - Free Zoom Event
2025-02-01 10:00 - 11:00 | FL
Winter Qigong practices focus on the organs of the Water Element:
In your body, the water element particularly affects your kidneys, urinary bladder, fluids, spinal cord, bone marrow and brain.
During this period, all of nature is in a state of stillness and hibernation. Therefore, it’s the best time of year to conserve your energy and nourish your qi. Qigong practices for winter emphasize stillness and inward reflection, sleeping longer hours, taking nans self-massage and maintaining internal warmth throughout the organs especially in the lower Dantian, which is your internal furnace.

Registration required to join us for this Free Zoom Event.

The 13 Postures are the foundation of all styles of Tai Chi Chuan. Understanding them can help deepen your Tai Chi study, including “Tai Chi” philosophy and “Quan” (physical movement), as a WHOLE of “Yin” and “Yang”. This workshop also helps any tai chi form. Each essential part of the 13 provides the meaning behind basic tai chi movement allowing you to improve your tai chi skills much faster and more accurately.

REGISTRATION REQUIRED

Since the basic 13 postures are the foundation for tai chi forms and for wisdom for life, Hong has created this workshop since 10 years ago to explore the different layers and help practitioners to improve their Tai Chi skills more efficiently.

Who may attend:

Anyone who practices any Tai Chi form, wants to learn both Tai Chi skills and Tai Chi theory/philosophy behind forms and movements, and wants to understand the relationship between Tai Chi movements and Tai Chi balance/wisdom in life.
