THE HEART APPROACH to ZY Qigong

This All-Levels workshop reflects the evolution of Claire and Jerigtu’s teaching of ZY Qigong.   The approach is heart centered, as opening the heart is one of the most effective entry ways to enter the subtle realm of energy (qi) and information.  This refined awareness assists us in unifying the body and mind, bringing coherency to our emotions, energy, physical being and spiritual being.  Through consistent practice of being –  in this awareness, in the present, in the body, one becomes more fully “Zhen Ren.” or the genuine human being.

 

LEVEL 1 ZY Qigong
Level 1 focuses on relaxation and the physical body.  We practice releasing stagnation and blockages.  And we gather more energy to increase our vitality.

LEVEL 2 ZY Qigong
Level 2 moves into quietude and the energy body. We open the heart and gain compassion and calmness.

YI JIN JING – Classic Tendon Easing Qigong

Learn this classic and powerful qigong form, handed down, teacher to student since the 6th Century AD.  Yi Jin Jing improves circulation, flexibility and strength, and quiets the mind for deeper meditation.

INTRO TO IMAGE MEDICINE

Image Medicine explores the healing possibilities of Qigong, teaching readily accessible methods to see and remove energy blockages, which  promotes health by clearing pain and disease in yourself and others.

What will you get out of these workshops?

You may experience a deep release of physical pain, and/or energy blockages; an opening up in your soul to rejuvenation, relaxation and quietness; a new sense of presence and spaciousness and happiness.

Qigong is an adventure, an exploration of the internal universe. You may come for self-healing, for peace, to gain energy, to seek answers to life’s questions, or to explore who and what we are. With a small class size and the compassionate, engaged and healing presence of Claire and Jeregtu, you are likely to get what you’ve come for, and possibly, much more.  Even if you have taken Level 1, Level 2 and/or Image Medicine before, there is always something new that unfolds in each experience with Claire and Jerigtu.

Prerequisites:
Level 1 is recommended before taking Level 2 or Image Medicine, but not required, especially for those with prior experience in Energy healing and mediation.

ZY Qigong Level 2 – Series, with Karen and Jean

 Level 2 opens the heartgate  and integrates and relaxes the energy body. We continue to work out physical blockages, but at a deeper level than in Level 1, releasing energy patterns as well.  The energy in the body, just like the physical body, begins to feel  more harmonious and strong. We also build the middle Dantien, the heart chakra, and quiet the mind. In Level 1 we experience the physical body calming down and decoupling from the mind’s agitation. In Level 2, the relaxation of the energy body influences the mind: the mind slows down and becomes peaceful and quiet. This is the calm state, also known as the qigong state.

ZY Qigong Level 2 practice will help you to:

  • Further increase your energy

  • Improve your immune system

  • Balance your emotions

  • Increase personal power, boundaries

  • Gain openness, non-judgment, leading to compassion for self and others, and unconditional love

Location: Greenlake Community Center, Seattle

Instructors:  Jean Clough and Karen Fletcher

ZY Qigong Level 1- Series, with Karen and Jean

Experience Qigong, the ancient Chinese art of self-development, self-healing and awakening. With simple exercises, meditations and visualizations, discover your ability to cultivate your health and wellness, and a relaxed and energized state of being.   Level 1 focuses on relaxing the physical body, and on boosting overall energy levels.  The Lower Dantien, or lower energy center (just below the navel) is the Level 1 focal point.

Zhong Yuan Qigong is a complete system of self-development which evolved in the Shaolin area of China, with roots in Shamanism, Buddhism and Taoism. The teachers, Jean and Karen, are both private students of ZY Qigong Grandmaster and lineage holder, Xu Mingtang.

We look forward to sharing the rich wisdom of this art and science with you!
