Embodied wisdom: Qigong and somatic meditation workshop
A morning of Qigong and somatic meditation to resource and to connect to our true nature and foster a natural integration of mind, body and heart.
Through sitting, standing and mindful movements, we learn how to align the body to promote a relaxed alert state, regulate and calm the mind, meet and let go of blockages to presence and connect with emptiness.
When we reach a ‘Qi state’ we are fully present, connected and receptive to our spiritual potential. We take this into our sitting meditation to deepen our awareness of our true nature.
These workshops are intended to give us more time to explore the principles of Qigong, and stay (or 'marinate') with the Qi so that its benefit may affect us more deeply. We will explore some somatic meditation as well, an embodied way of meditating, which goes deep very quickly but doesn't require prior meditation experience.
Each session includes:
- gentle warm-up exercises
- Qigong exercises: very simple movements (no complicated sequence!)
- led somatic meditation: standing, sitting or lying down
- led somatic exercises to access non-dual realisation
- a break and a chance to share or ask questions
Key benefits of the monthly class:
- Learn simple Qigong movements that bring peace and clarity to mind and heart.
- Connect to Qi energy for health and well being.
- Opportunity to de-stress, pause and listen deeply.
