This class has helped many participants to relieve stress, restore their vitality and achieve inner peace. As the deep relaxation and Qigong/Tai Chi exercise are combined together, the result can be experienced immediately after each session. Each class begins with 30 minutes of deep relaxation, followed by a series of easy-to-learn and enjoyable Qigong/Tai Chi exercises:

  • Whole body breathing exercises: to open body and mind
  • Cleansing exercises: to cleanse old and stagnant energies in the body
  • Walking meditation and Qigong/Tai Chi movements: to promote energy flows
  • Standing meditation: to recharge the body with new and fresh energy
  • Self-massage: to harmonize the energy in the body.

Please prepare a space to lie down during the deep relaxation session. You may need a mat to support your back, a pillow for your head and and a blanket to keep yourself warm.

"The capacity to relax is at the very foundation of any program undertaken to overcome anxiety, phobias, or panic attacks... Regular practice of deep relaxation for 20-30 minutes on a daily basis can produce, over time, a generalization of relaxation to the rest of your life. That is, after several weeks of practicing deep relaxation once per day, you will tend to feel more relaxed all the time."
from The Anxiety & Phobia Workbook by Edmund J. Bourne, Ph.D.

"Qigong is an ancient Chinese system of exercise and meditation that makes the mind and spirit tranquil, improves performance in sports, cultivates health, well-being, and long life... Through qigong, spiritual seekers learn to unify the qi (life force) within their bodies with the spirit and energy of the universe... Qigong also increases artistic sensitivity and expressiveness. The qigong practitioner feels as though Nature uses his or her eyes to see herself. The pine tree expresses its life, its qi, through the painter's brush or the poet's words. A great painting, like a great poem, pulses with life energy."
