Medical Qigong and Yoga Nidra: The Eight Extraordinary Vessels

This ancient Qigong form is based on a series of Eight Energy Pathways in the body, distinct from the Meridians, the Eight Extras intersect with the other twelve meridians in ways that enhance the balance of the whole system. They are said to be conduits of Pre-Natal Qi, our Heavenly Qi or Pre-Earthly Contract, they are activated in this form with the aid of the great powers of Moon and Sun and Kidney Qi. As an ancient Taoist Medical practice, this work is said to help us heal from hereditary diseases and reconnect us with our deep celestial knowledge. This is a standing form which may be practiced seated or even supine depending on the person’s requirements of the moment. The elegant movements are easily practiced, and the occasional chants in parts of the form are single syllable seed mantras, precise, powerful and quickly effective in bringing a sense of wellbeing.

Following the form students sit or lie down for a Taoist Deep Relaxation with a Rainbow Meditation to complete the Healing Journey.

No experience of Qigong or Meditation is necessary. All attendees will receive a gift package from Nadiya.
