Spring Forest Qigong Wednesday at 3pm led by Cythe

It started more than 4,000 years ago when Chinese scholars, studying the workings of the universe, discovered and established the Eastern scientific principle that everything is energy.

One of the best ways to help yourself maintain a healthy lifestyle is to practice Qigong. Qi means  “energy" and Gong means "to work with" so simply put Qigong means working with the body's energy.

Spring Forest Qigong is a modernized form of qigong developed by International Qigong Master Chunyi Lin after years of qigong, tai chi, martial arts practice and intensive meditation.

Spring Forest Qigong is a simple, effective system of movements and meditations that can be done anywhere, anytime, and by anyone.

Spring Forest Qigong can help you increase your energy and improve your physical, mental, and spiritual health.

SFQ empowers you to:

● Discover your natural ability to help heal yourself

● Acquire the power to help protect yourself from ill health; mentally, physically, and spiritually

● Learn knowledge and skills to continually strengthen your health, well-being, and mental outlook throughout your lifetime

● Develop your natural capability for helping others to heal

Spring Forest Qigong is an integrated form of healing, helping us to heal on all levels – physically, mentally/emotionally, and spiritually. Although each person and situation is unique, the benefits of practicing SFQ can include:

● Pain-free movement and greater flexibility

● A sense of happiness, contentment and peace

● Reduced stress and tension

● Improved metabolism, digestion, and elimination

● Balanced energy

● A more youthful appearance

● Increased awareness and mental acuity

● Increased strength and vitality

● Restore organs to their healthy, optimal functioning by giving them an “inner massage” and thus slowing the aging process

 

Qigong is the science of the body. Many people also consider it a “healing art” or “energy art.” There have been many medical studies done on qigong. Qigong has been found to be beneficial to helping improve health and wellness, and researchers often recommend further research.

New Class Coming! Qigong Small Universe Meditation

 The Center for Mindfulness SL is happy to announce a new class on Tuesdays from1-2pm (beginning September 22nd) called Qigong Small Universe Meditation.  We welcome the return of our good friend and former mentor, Cythe who has graciously agreed to teach this class.  Cythe has been practicing and leading qigong for over ten years and we are happy to have her onboard!

Cythe explains Qigong Small Universe Meditation:

Qigong is a modernized form of qigong with simple, effective movements and meditations developed by Qigong Master Chunyi Lin. It can help you increase your energy and improve your physical, mental, and spiritual health. 

Qigong teaches that the underlying cause of any health problem is an energy blockage; remove the blockage and healing can occur. Using effective breathing, healing sounds and visualizations as you move energy, this mediation helps to clear energy blockages along the two most important channels in the body, the front and back channels. These sounds are powerful because their vibrations can reach every corner of the body to clear blockages. 

We have many energy channels and energy centers in our bodies. When energy starts at one point, visits all the channels and centers in the body, and comes back to the starting point, we have what is translated from Chinese ancient wisdom as a “big universe.” 

The most important channels are the back and front channels in the torso. When energy starts at one point on those channels, visits all the parts of the system, and comes back to the starting point we have what is called a “small universe.”

The back governing channel of yang male energy channels in the body starts at the lower dantian area, which is deep behind the navel. It goes down to the bottom of the torso, travels up along the spine to the top of the head, and comes down from the middle of the forehead stopping at the roof of the mouth. The front channel of yin female energy channels also starts from the lower dantian area, goes down to the bottom of the torso, travels up the body passing through the heart and throat stopping under the tongue.

These two channels control and influence the other channels in the body. Nearly all of the important energy centers are arranged along the back and front channels. As a result, energy blockages in the heart energy center could cause heart, lung, breast, chest or intelligence problems. A blockage in the tailbone could cause reproductive organ problems, low sexual energy, and headaches. A blockage in the cervical bone #7 of the spinal cord could cause headaches, fever, diabetes, and lung and heart problems.

The small universe mediation is the easiest mediation technique to open these two important channels.

Qigong has been found to be beneficial to helping improve health and wellness, and researchers often recommend further research.
