For millenia, Daoists have observed 五種流行之氣, the flow of cosmic qi through five phases of energetic transformation. Wood 木 mù, Fire 火 huǒ, Earth 土 tǔ, Metal 金 jīn and Water 水 shuǐ manifest in the planets, constellations, seasons, and our own bodies. Self-Healing Qigong Meditation is a series of practices passed down by 38 generations of Ni family healers, integrating these five elemental energies within the microcosm of our soma. From a Daoist perspective, we embody the qi of Jupiter, Mars, Earth, Saturn, Venus and Mercury in our meridians, 臟腑zangfu organs and 丹田dantian energy centers. In this class, we will re-connect to the stardust + solar system in our cells + viscerae, aligning our breath + movement to support qi flow. By attuning our posture + respiration to ancient protocols, we tap into deep knowing, agency + awareness. The goal of our practice is to access the inner wisdom + healing capacities that are our birthright, supporting our bodies as microcosms of all Existence.
