Di Yuan 'Earthly Qigong' Workshop
Event Information
Description
EXPAND YOUR MIND, HEAL YOUR BODY, CHANGE YOUR LIFE
REN XUE helps develop the creative capabilities and wisdom needed to survive and thrive in an increasingly tumultuous world.
As technology, environmental changes and geo-political forces push us toward a new and challenging reality, wisdom - based on an understanding of the laws of the universe - provides a base from which we can creatively adapt, calmly manage our lives and positively affect the lives of others.
Ren Xue and Yuan Gong give you practical, effective tools for managing your mind and emotional wellbeing, from the inside out.
ABOUT REN XUE
Yuan Qigong is REN XUE’s practice of movements, postures and breathing designed to help us live more creative, adaptive lives in today’s challenging world.
The workshop will be led by Master Qigong instructor Kim Knight, who has been studying directly with Master Yuan Tze, the founder of the Ren Xue system, since 2009. This is her third visit to Yoga Nadi in Queenstown, and she is very much looking forward to teaching here again.
The workshop is suitable for beginners and experienced practitioners alike.
ABOUT DI YUAN
Di Yuan, 'Earthly' Qigong, is the second of the Qigong methods within the 9 level Yuan Gong system.
Whilst in Tian Yuan, (the first method of Yuan Gong), you gather Qi from the universe into your body to replenish your Qi (energy / prana) reserves, in Di Yuan, (the second method), you learn how to store this Qi so it can be used by the body-mind for maximum benefit.
When practicing Di Yuan, a ‘still standing’ form, you learn how to store and personalize the Qi you have gathered in Tian Yuan. Whilst it is useful and beneficial to first learn and practice Tian Yuan before Di Yuan, you can learn and practice Di Yuan directly, as it has many benefits, such as calming the monkey mind, centring mind and body, preserving energy, increasing mental focus, strengthening will and more.
When you learn Di Yuan, you have a life-affirming Qigong method which you will be able to use for the rest of your life to improve and uplift your life. Continuous practice of Di Yuan improves health and also lays the foundation for further Yuan Gong learning.
