Experience Chi Kung with Elaine Waters
|
Chi Kung is an ancient Chinese art of developing the body energy. Chi Kung uses movements which are designed to open the energy meridians of the body through combining breathe, energy, focus, alignment, timing, and body movement.
Chi Kung practice improves balance, flexibility, awareness, and develops centering, coordination, and sensitivity. Chi Kung is based on the Taoist theory of balancing opposites. In Chi Kung practice, building internal energy is the primary focus. Most Chi Kung movements open and close, expand and contract, which is coordinated with inhale and exhale, or compress and release. Chi Kung movements can be very small or they can be very large and spiraling, and they are used to relax and rejuvenate the body. Anyone who practices chi kung will tell you about the benefits they receive. Elaine Waters offers moving chi kung routines: Swimming Dragon Chi Kung and Water/Fire Balancing Chi Kung PARADOX TO “WU JI STANDING” The secret to effortless standing is understanding your working paradoxes. One paradox is how to Sink without collapsing the joints, Expand while letting go, Hang from the top of the head while rooting Standing chi kung is the foundation to all other moving chi kung and tai chi styles. Standing chi kung meditation is practiced for clarity, peace and stillness of mind, and to discover alignment which strengthens the root and core.
