HEAVEN AND EARTH
Healing Qigong

Yucaipa, California
May 31-June 1, 2025

Everyone is welcome

 
 

TAOIST BREATHING & ENERGETICS

The Marriage of Heaven and Earth is a deep and content-rich form of qigong that is ideal for beginning and more advanced practitioners alike.

  • New students will find this symmetrical form easy to learn, so that you can quickly sink into internal (neigong) techniques that generate the health and healing benefits associated with qigong and tai chi practice.

  • Existing students will find the depth and breadth of neigong offered in Heaven and Earth a go-to form for developing and refining various aspects of internal arts practice.


WHAT YOU WILL LEARN

In this seminar, we’ll focus on two primary threads of neigong training:

  • Taoist natural breathing.

  • The macrocosmic and microcosmic orbits of energy.

From one perspective, breathing is just another aspect of opening and closing, which is one reason why, in the Water Method, it is traditionally learned within Heaven and Earth Qigong. Taoist natural breathing mimics that of a newborn baby, the most perfect of creatures, before being influenced by cultural and other forms of conditioning.

Learning how to breathe well is one of the most important aspects of being healthy and maintaining that health well into old age by:

  • Relaxing the nervous system.

  • Gently massaging the vital organs through referred pressures.

  • Increasing circulation of blood and qi.

  • Over time, upgrading the functioning and efficiency of every system and cell of your body — where there is oxygen, there is life!


MACRO- & MICROCOSMIC
ORBITS OF ENERGY

The macrocosmic and microcosmic orbits are natural qi flows within your body that keep you healthy, vibrant and alert. Opening up and strengthening these qi flows is revitalizing and, over time, can create incredible resilience and strength in the physical and energy bodies, the first two bodies (of the Eight Energy Bodies system used by Taoists).

Both breathing and the macrocosmic and microcosmic orbits play key roles in Taoist rejuvenation practices based on Chinese medicine, because:


Qi tells the physical body how to function — and not the other way around!


When you become ill, injured or compromised from trauma (physically, emotionally or mentally) — especially as you age — qi flow becomes restricted, which in turn reduces the efficiency of the body’s systems. When you release these tensions and stored traumas, the body’s qi flows and vital processes can be restored, returning you to a natural, alive and awake state.
