Online :: Sunday Morning Qi Gong for All-Levels

Application of Qigong for daily life: "Being the eye of the storm"

Emptying the Mind with us on Sunday!

Excellent class for building on existing practice of qigong.

In our day to day lives, we experience a lot of events, conversations or life changes that leave us feeling disempowered, hopeless, or tired. This is a common experience and our qigong classes focus on accepting and if suitable, gently changing the energy around those challenging experiences using "chi".

It may not go away completely at one time, but we start to build our little muscles in 1) observing our energy (ie., feelings, body state), 2) noticing intraceptively where 'stuck' sensations are in the body; 3) how to make gentle shifts in ourselves.

I welcome participants from all walks of life, and we have a respectful and safe shared space of the qigong practice lead by Jacqueline Chan, MA & her mother, Master Teresa Yeung. Our shared intentions and practice start to make gentle shifts in our energy which bring gentle, gradual and powerful changes in our lives.

We change our relationship to those inner experiences and open the channel for a path to lasting tranquility, hope, and optimism.

Our instructor, Jacqueline Chan, has been learning Qi Gong from a young child along with her mother Master Teresa and Grandmaster Wu for about two decades. With continuing Qi Gong practices and training, she has been developing her style in balancing the mind and spirit to improve inner harmony by releasing challenging heart-based experiences. She also has successfully integrated many learning lessons from a challenging youth, where she did not fit in. As an unconventionally deep/sensitive youth, she was also discovering her sexual orientation that went against the grain of her previously conversative religious peer-groups.

As a scholarship-minded person, she takes an integrated approach to qigong, bringing in both the foundations of energy and the intersection of mind-body, to achieve harmony in living in a chaotic and moving world. She has spoken and demonstrated Qi Gong in conferences and symposiums.

She has a background in psychology, early childhood studies, clinical research, and is currently studying psychotherapy through a Buddhist/Daoist theological lens. In her class, she likes to bring some of her learnings to shine and inspire you!

Will you be interested to explore how to empty your mind with Qi Gong and bring in a new harmony with Jacqueline?

West meets East perspective

Emptying the mind is to go to the awareness beneath the form of thoughts and images, also sometimes called "clear light" awareness...

Three Takeaways:

Challenging: Adding to participants’ knowledge of mindfulness by introducing a movement form of mindfulness with a long tradition and lineage

Integrative: This is presented through an integrative perspective of West meets East with a scientific context

Actionable: Attendees can walk away with knowledge of a practice they can do anywhere and learn about the utilization of their breath
