Taiji & Meditation Sunday Series

About this event

Over the month of November in addition to our regular classes we will be hosting a 4 part Sunday series to introduce the various aspects of a Taiji & Meditation practice. In each session we will place extra focus on one of the 4 main aspects of a Taiji session so you can gain a deeper understanding of its benefits and purpose. Ideal for all those who are interested to learn more about Taiji, meditation and internal arts. #1: SONG SHEN WU FA (太極鬆身五法)- Relaxation and Body Mind Connection (Sun 1st Nov - Successfully done, we might repeat it in the future if there's requests) Attendants were introduced to a highly refined set of 5 exercises created by Master HuangXingXian (黃性賢), a very accomplished Taiji teacher (teacher of our teacher Patrick Kelly). \- These simple exercises are optimally designed to loosen the muscles\, free the joints and turn the mind inwards\. Regular practice will bring durable benefits to Body and Mind\. The 5 Loosening Exercises can later be practiced independently (morning or evening time are perfect for that), or be part of a Taiji or Meditation session. #2: TAIJI FORM – Internal Movements & Inner Power (Sun 8th Nov) You will experience an overview of the 1st part of the Taiji Form of Grand Master ZhengManQing (鄭曼青), and take the first steps in finding the inner elastic power and the benefits for the coordination of Body and Mind. #3: TUI SHOU (太極推手)- Yielding, Neutralizing, Issuing Forces (Sun 15th Nov) You will be introduced to the first few partner exercises Qi Dong (七動)and Dan Tui (單推).These aim to direct the practice towards awakening the sensitivity towards the partner’s Intention (Yi), Energy (Qi) and Forces (Jin) #4: MEDITATION – Shen, Energy Refinement (Sun 22nd Nov) To close the sessions, you will be lead through the essential meditation for energy transformation from Lower to Middle Dantian (精Jing, 氣Qi), to direct our training efforts towards inner refinement. We recommend to join for the 4 full sessions, but it is possible to also join for single sessions. ($100HKD/session). Limited spots, please book yours as soon as possible so we can accommodate everyone interested.
