Qigong, Level 2 (must have taken Qigong, Level 1)
(Only for those students who have completed Qi Qong 1.)
Qi Gong 2 places an emphasis upon the concept of Jing Gong, which eases the practitioner into a state of complacency after "mind pollution" and "stagnant Qi" are melted away by the balanced distribution of Qi throughout the meridians. An introduction to the Small Circulation Abdominal Breathing Circuit (Xiao Zhou Tian) is directed toward the purpose of encouraging practitioners to experience this state of calm mind and a peaceful heart. The Dong Gong Crane form and its accompanying massage and bone Qi Gong itinerary (as practiced in the First Level Qi Gong classes), will be continued and expanded as the gathering and channeling of "upright qi" is absolutely essential to Small Circulation Breathing Cosmic System. There will also be an introduction to the Silk Exercises (Baduanjin) depending upon session progress. The instructional environment for this course is noncompetitive and emphasizes safe, motivational group-oriented advanced sessions to enrich the quality of life.
