Generating Qi and the Qi Field
When we make a fist, normally it is hard and not soft, as it usually is in martial arts. But in the Wild Goose system, we do have a very special kind of “Soft Fist” Qigong form. In this summer retreat, we are going to spend a lot of time teaching and practicing this Wild Goose Soft Fist Qigong. Why should we learn this special Wild Goose Qigong?
| • | It offers a special way to train our whole body movements, especially for the training of 3-dimensional circular movements |
| • | It cultivates our Qi sensitivity |
| • | It broadens our center-periphery training |
| • | It helps open up our crown and the K-1 acu-point at the bottom of our feet |
| • | It trains our Kunlun Bagua steps |
| • | It builds up our inner strength |
| • | It makes our waist more flexible and resilient |
Kunlun Bagua Steps
Aside from learning Wild Goose-XV, in this
retreat, we are also reviewing the prototype as well as variant forms of Kunlun Bagua “tang-ni” steps which are used in Wild Goose-3 through 9. At the same time, we will continue to review our basic training of 3-dimensional circular movements.
30 Contact Hours
Certificate for completion of 30 contact hours will be provided for those who have joined or who are planning to join the Wild Goose Teacher’s Training Program.
Wild Goose Qigong and meditation is a complete healing system. Well known for its lovely and graceful movements that suggest the image of an innocent and carefree goose, it is one of the most popular Medical Qigong systems for self-healing and Qigong therapy.
Wild Goose Qigong offers many health benefits. Through increased relaxation, deeper breathing, and whole body coordination, it improves our Qi circulation and blood flow, especially in the capillaries. More oxygen is thus supplied to our brain, boosting our brain power, improving our cognitive function, and offers a good defense against depression and anxiety.
Classes are for all
levels. Beginners welcome!
