QIGONG for health, healing & happiness

"Return to the natural state of the child!

Relax, relax, relax.

Laugh, smile, play, breathe, savor.

Rejoice in the miracle of your aliveness and being.

No worry, no hurry".

--Zayne

Qi (Chi or Chee): The fundamental life force that permeates all things. Qi connects and animates everything in the universe. When the flow of Qi is impaired, we have disease. When it flows easily, we have perfect health.

Gong: Achieving results through consistent practice, patience and perseverance (the “three P’s”).

Qigong (energy work): The art and science of using breath, movement, mind and meditation to cleanse, strengthen, and circulate the blood, lymph and vital life energy.

Dear qigong friends,

At long last I’m finally getting settled at my new location in Colrain, MA. The “breathtaking studio” is complete, and I’m beginning to offer some qigong classes there while continuing to teach at Green River Yoga in Greenfield.

I am delighted to announce the following offerings:

A new “drop in” class for everyone (including beginners) that will be offered every Thursday, 5:30-6:30 pm, suggested tuition, $7-15 (sliding). The primary emphasis will be the spirit of qigong and fundemental applied to various practices including, but not limited to the following:

1) Cleaning the energy pathways and unblocking obstructions to the energy flow.

2) Oiling and opening the joints designed to enhance the smooth flow and conductivity of vital energy through the body as well as healing and strengthening the major joints,

3) A series of simple, flowing qigong movements that open the spine to enhance the flow of healing chi energy as well as massage, cleanse, nourish and strengthen the major organs

4) standing meditation that adjusts the skeletal structure to enhance the “filling up” of vital energy and fosters the “uncovery” and release of deep tension that blocks energy flow. VERY POWERFUL and fundamental to the cultivation of chi energy in the body.

One of the qigong forms we’ll be learning during this class is “Organ Cleansing and Strengthening” Qigong, also know as Zhang Fu Gong which originated in Mandarin, China. This is one of my favorites because it is easy to learn, very effective (results are felt very quickly) and can be performed in 10 or 15 minutes—a fantastic way to show love to your organs and have them love you back!

A DVD of this class is also available for purchase ($12) and is designed to complement the class so students can practice on their own outside of class.

SATURDAY MONTHLY WORKSHOPS

Also, stay tuned for my monthly qigong Saturday workshops. Great opportunity for beginners who wish to get started. The next one is scheduled for January 10:00-12:00 pm, this time at the Green River Yoga Center in Greenfield, MA. I will introduce a variety of simple forms and techniques with an emphasis on the fundamentals and spirit of qigong. The workshop wil include Swimming Dragon Qigong, a simple yet powerful form that greatly enhances the flow of energy and absorption of Universal Chi as well as improves the healthly functioning of the organs.

I so look forward to continuing qigong classes at my new home and the Green RIver Yoga Center to offer more profoundly wonderful and transformative, self-healing methods for health, healing and happiness. Hope to see you there!

Chi blessings,

Zayne
