Saturday 3/15: Qi gong for Spring Equinox: Balancing Yin and Yang energy The equinox occurs twice a year and is a powerful day to supercharge your energy. At this time, day and night are the same length, which means that Yin and Yang are in perfect balance. Nature is always moving towards balance, called homeostasis. Every day is a process of adapting from morning to night, winter to summer, emotion to emotion. How you eat, breathe, sleep, think and cope with circumstances creates the dynamic interplay of Yin and Yang within you. So, let's honor the life force energy and balance our energy with the Qigong Flow for the Spring Equinox. 3/29: The six healing sounds and qi gong movement - Liu Zi Jue Sound is Energy A big part of traditional Chinese medicine is balancing the flow of internal energy, or Qi (chi). This is the life energy that flows inside of our bodies, and through our major internal organ systems. The ancient Chinese found that blockages, stagnation, or imbalances in our energy flow can cause disease. Specifically, within the field of Qigong, there are six separate healing sounds that bring balance to the Qi in the six major organ systems. Each sound is said to clear stagnant or negative energy in a particular organ and encourage a more balanced energy flow to help that organ system thrive. We will hum different sounds to create the vibration of the sound to reverberate deep inside of your body. Your own intonation is why and how the sound energy can affect your internal energy balance.Each sound is associated with a paired organ system and its associated meridians. These systems are also associated with common emotions. . In this class, we will pair movements with the different sounds to create a sense of healing and balance. Class will end with yin yoga postures.
