Learning Qigong

Learning something new is so energizing! And when it is qigong, which recently came into my life - and, I realize, came back - it reconnects at many different levels.

First, it was a dear friend who is teaching me. Then, I realized that in a series of synchronicities many years ago in Singapore, I had encountered a group of  practitioners, and learned qi-gong from them. At first, it seemed so natural, as if I'd been doing it all my life- even the arm held sideways, which is usually very difficult for me. Perhaps because it is wonderful in a group, I did not continue it when I came to the U.S.

I would see people doing tai-chi, and get very drawn to it. Still am. But qigong---it brings to mind visions of the sacred mountains of China, and I feel an inner thrill beyond measure.






How well qigong fits with the practice of Reiki healing! China and Japan coming together.

And the Dao---you feel the words of Laotse move the mind as the movements of qigong move the body-mind-spirit.

Once when I was doing tai-chi, following the teacher on T.V., our cat friend Whiskers got all crazy and started doing his own cat brand of jumping yoga-taichi!

They say that qigong was learned from watching animals; perhaps animals sometimes remember this from watching humans?!
