Shen Qigong class – 2023.03.30

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.

As a result of the amazing feedback from last week’s class we are:

• Continuing to explore the Du Mai Pump. Initially guiding the Qi and then following it.
• Refining the Internal process of Drawing Down from the Heavens. Using the Yi to begin with and then (hopefully) getting it to cede control to the Shen.

Shen Qigong works with the consciousness, increasing perception and awareness of our link with the Tao. It is very well described as inner alchemy because the practitioner is constantly refining their ability, their awareness and their understanding. These are advanced Qigong and there is no quick route but the journey, although sometimes frustrating, is an amazing adventure.
