Foundational Courses:

These courses are recommended for grounding yourself in a natural, intuitive approach to qigong practice:

1. Taoist Natural Breathing: Breathing is at the heart of practice, as if our breathing is tense, our nervous system and energy are held tense. The main point of taoist breathing is to rediscover natural, unforced breathing which is inherently relaxed. To the extent that our breathing practice is controlled, our natural breathing is blocked and its potential to relax and dissolve our tensions is blocked. This short course clarifies how to breathe naturally. As natural breathing spreads throughout every system in the body we relax and open deeply as all our internal pulsations become fuller and deeper without forcing and control. Full details here
   
2. The Fluid Basis of Movement, Energy Work & Health:
   2 courses which reveal the central role of our fluids in qigong and our health:
   1) How Standing Qigong sets up natural fluid and energy circulation
   2) How this circulation drives Qigong Movement Forms (here Heaven & Earth Qigong), which in turn strengthen this circulation.
   Qigong is essentially the practice of strengthening the natural circulating fluid pump which cleans and feeds all our cells as it opens and relaxes the body. Our fluids, as the main carriers of our energy, provide a natural access to our energy. Neigong / qigong movements build on this work. This provides a deeply intuitive, natural and effective pathway into qigong. Full details here.
   
3. Natural Outer Dissolving: Dissolving is at the heart of all practices in the water school of Taoism, This course reveals a natural, unforced pathway into the balanced and effective dissolving of blocked energies. For natural dissolving to occur, it must stay naturally relaxed, rooted and centred. This keeps the mind and energy soft and open, then dissolving is natural and easy:
   
   Term 1: Generalised Dissolving - The basis of natural, balanced dissolving of blocked energies
   
   Term 2: Focused Dissolving - Increasing the strength of our dissolving practice
   
   Term 3: Dissolving the Energy Gates & Approaching the Rising Current of Energy - Releasing energy gates has an exponential effect on releasing and opening your energy naturally
   
   Term 4: Deep Dissolving - Dissolving the Inner Layers, Organs & Spine

4. Natural Alignment: The alignment of the body and its fluid and energy flows is central to qigong and its health benefits. However, if we force these alignments, we have to keep holding them to try to maintain alignment. Forcing, holding and mental effort are not conducive to relaxing and releasing, and so block our ability to dissolve energy blockages naturally. These two workshops introduce how we enable the body to align naturally by making use of fluid pressures and circulations and the natural unwinding of the body into balance. This releasing into balance is entirely in line with dissolving and enables alignment to be an integral aspect of relaxation and dissolving practice. Full details here
   

Other Recommended Courses:

1. How Fluid & Energy Work Combine: This course introduces how fluid and energy work start to combine through the natural balancing of the rising (yang) and descending (yin) currents of energy during standing and dissolving practice. Especially useful in Standing Qigong Postures with the arms raised, qigong forms in general and for those interested in Spiralling Energy Body Qigong. Full details here
   
   
2. The Movements of Gods Playing in the Clouds: 2 workshops which clearly demonstrate the key physical and energetic points of each of the movements of Gods with reference especially to natural breathing and to the fluid basis of each move. The purpose is not only to maximise the health benefits of Gods, but also to develop relaxed, full physical and energetic movements which lead naturally into the dissolving of energy blockages during Gods, which is how Gods transits into Taoist Meditation.

3. Spiralling Energy Body Courses Spiralling energy is the complete taoist energy work which powers all taoist movement forms, fully opening all the energy gates and channels in the body and energetic field. It greatly develops and completes what is begun through fluid and dissolving work. Contact me for details
