Shen class – 2021.06.17

Shen Qigong

The Shen Qigong classes is a mixture of Active and Passive Qigong. They are Spiritual in that they are working with the consciousness and can be used to alter states of awareness, giving access to higher levels of being and increasing perception. In addition to the Shen exercises we also incorporate Qigong from other sets (Shibashi, Ba Duan Jin, Connecting Heaven and Earth, the Orbits, etc.) so that a deeper understanding and more profound experiences gained from them. This means that the classes are often organic and they find a direction of their own, that direction governed by the needs and wishes of the participants.

• Qigong vs Neigong. Using Broaden the Chest (Shibashi) as an example.
• Listening to changes in the Qi.
• The Five Elements: Beginning to understand why you feel the Qi moving elsewhere.
• Listening to the quality of the Qi in an Earth exercise and its effect physically.
• Listening to the Qi moving through the head during Shen Ex 3.
• Listening to the sensations created during Palms to Infinity.
• Passive Qigong: Re-centring the Qi at the Dantien.
