THE MARRIAGE OF HEAVEN AND EARTH CHI GUNG

The Marriage of Heaven and Earth is one of the 6 core Chi Gung practices taught by Master BK Frantzis. It is an incredible mind body exercise consisting of just two, easy to learn moves repeated twenty times. On a physical level these two movements work the entire body. On a more subtle level they have a profound effect on the Chi flow through the body and its energy field. Marriage of Heaven and Earth mixes and balances the yang energy of the earth with the yin energy of the heavens and circulates it throughout the body. In this seminar we will explore bowing and stretching the spine, lengthening the soft tissues of the body, opening and closing the energy of important energy gates, Taoist breathing techniques and the greater and lesser heavenly circulation of chi. These are essential elements of Taoist inner work.

TAOIST BREATHING AND MEDITATION
In this seminar you will be introduced to a systematic series of exercises which will enable you to open up your breathing capacity, bring your mind into your body and develop the ability of your breath to release stress and strengthen your internal organs. These techniques can eventually integrate into your normal breathing pattern during work, or play and even in sleep. This is the breathing technique which underlies all of the Taoist internal arts such as Tai Chi and Chi Gung. We will use the newly available recorded Taoist Liturgies chanted by Master B.K. Frantzis for activating the breath. If you haven't experienced the power of these sounds join us.----------------------------

Arts and would be of great benefit to all.
