Onsite & Online. Recording will be shared February 12, 1-3pmEDT Location: 978 Sullivan Ave, South Windsor, CT 06074 Fee: $55 (Currently registered students) $75 (Others)Celebrating We often about the Qi in Qigong practice, rarely mention about “Hua” the transformational process in order to allow our body to absorb the Qi. In order to receive Qi, we must understand how to transform to maximize the benefit of your Qigong practice. “Hua” (?), the character shows the transformation aspect in Qigong and any other arts through intentional (Yi) and persistent practice. Oracle bone inscription explains the character with two people back to back, one is upright, one is upside down. It symbolizes that through intentional practice, we can make transformational change in our body, mind and spirt. Our guest, Shiatsu & Qigong teacher, Nini Melvin and Lorelei Chang join heart/minds to share with you this simple, potent qigong form along with live music by Suan Armstrong. We will explore how the elements move through our meridians, connecting us to earth and sky, center and heart and how to Hun Hua, alchemically process the Qi. We build our strength, immunity and community as we aligning and interconnect our personal energy field with the greater universal field. Feel better every day with this transformational, easy to practice and rich form!
