New event Wednesdays at 3 pm SLT at the Center

Every Wednesday at 3pm SLT we will hold a Tai Chi event, will be either me or my husband, or?

It means listening to relaxing music and watch our avatars do the moves. So nothing special ♥

Center of Mindfulness Make Over

Hello everyone!  I hope you are all staying safe and mindful during these chaotic times. Having done some recent exploring in SL, I was inspired by the beauty of Island of Pandasia and it has encouraged me to revisit my earlier Kinbaku location, bringing elements of its setting and tranquility to the Center for Mindfulness.  I am also evolving the structure and format of the lectures to be more help in the current environment. The long theoretical lectures are a way of learning things but we all have a lot on our mind and things are more easily forgotten, especially if you get a lot of information at once.

From Monday July 6 I will start with Daily Mindful Thoughts (10-15 min) which will be hints, little exercises and sharing with each other how we are doing, so more interactive. After that we will do the Daily Mindfulness Meditation (10 min), and these will adjust depending on the mood of the day and other factors, and everyone is welcome to attend either or both, as time allows.
It is my hope to make the Center a safe and calming place for people to come to learn, relax and recharge, and also to grow a base group of friends who support each other and progress in the awakening. Teleport here and group here ♥

Spring Forest Qigong at the Center, Saturdays at 1 pm SLT

Let me introduce you to our new Qigong instructor at the Center: Cythe (cytheria.teardrop).

Cythe has been practicing and leading Spring Forest Qigong groups for ten years and is also a certified laughter yoga instructor. Her passion is to encourage people to express their natural health, beauty and leadership.

She will lead a Qigong session every Saturday at 1pm SLT (led in voice so need ears)

What is Spring Forest Qigong?

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.
