Join us for a 28-day at-home qigong practice as you become the White Crane — experiencing the intake of the heavens with your breath, strengthening your defensive qi, heightening your well-being,
and attuning to the Metal element.
 
Within the autumn energy, we can open ourselves
to the inspiration of …
    breathing deeply into our lungs
   feeling the air on our skin and awakening our surface qi
    seeing the magnificent autumn colors 
·    releasing the debris of what we no longer need to hold on to 
    clearing the mind and letting creativity flow

 Autumn light so pristine
Autumn air fierce
Inspire breath — Mind alight
 
Does this three-line poem inspire you?
Perhaps you'll write one of your own to share!

Free yourself of restraints. Breathe in inspiration and
release in body, mind, and spirit as you exhale.
Let your breathing guide your movement.

 
Seasonal Qigong Tunings include qigong movements, massages, and breathing, which generate qi energy for
your health and well-being.

Tune into the season with people everywhere as you practice at home — separate but connected — united in developing
qi for yourself and for the well-being of all. It's wonderful to harmonize with nature and with others across the world, doing the same movements in the same time period.
 
The tuning begins on Sunday, October 15. Once registered, you'll receive a link to a previous Zoom session to learn the movements. Then, we'll proceed individually, each of us doing the
daily work on our own.
 
Let's attune to each other as we find balance in our lives, quiet our minds, and harmonize with autumn and the Metal element. 

Open to all. Invite your friends and family to participate.
