QI GONG FOR ALL - A UNIQUE OPPORTUNITY TO TRAIN WITH DR SHAOFAN ZHU
Renowned Qi Gong Master and gold medalist in Martial Arts in China. Hosted by Qi Gong Ireland.
Spring / Imbolg in the Celtic and Chinese new Year is the ideal time to cleanse the body, boost the Immune system and revitalise your body, mind and spirit.
On this three-day training event, you will learn and experience the ancient mindful 12-step Qi Gong movement stretching practice called Shen Zhan Gong. Qi Gong is scientifically recognised by bodies such as NHS, Harvard Medical School, and the World Health Organisation for its effects on stress reduction, mental health, balance, flexibility, pain management, and overall quality of life.
You will gain information on the philosophy of Taoism and experience guided seated meditation. Each stretching movement opens up a particular energy meridian ( pathway ) to release stress and any blocked energy so your energy (Qi) can flow freely and nourish all of you
You move to your own comfort level.
Each energy meridian relates to an organ in the body and one to the spine, and to the brain.
As your Qi, i.e., your lifeforce, begins to flow more freely up and down the body, it nourishes your blood, bones, muscles, circulatory, endocrine, and all the systems in the body.
Master Shaofan will also guide the group in short but effective breathing exercises, followed by the Taoist 8 steps, to seated meditation.
Some information will also be given on the five elements, how each of the organs relates to one of the elements—air, Fire, Water, Earth, and Metal—and how nature can support us in having balance and harmony in our lives.
