Recharge & Renew with Solar Qigong

Service Description

120 Minute Live-streamed Zoom Class with Ken Cohen. Restore and learn to maintain your connection to the sun’s healing qi, especially important as nights lengthen and cold approaches. We begin with a unique, highly effective style of Standing Meditation, the legacy of Ken’s first qigong teacher, B. P. Chan, to train core principles of relaxation, alignment, and breathing. Then “Circling Heaven and Earth” to dissolve blockages and balance the three realms of Sky, Earth, and Human, followed by “Gather the Yang to Nurture the Yin”, a gentle qigong exercise to absorb energy from the Sun. Next Drinking Solar Light, to recharge with solar energy the body’s primary abdominal “battery”, the dan tian. Finally, a seated qigong meditation to absorb light from the sun and moon and spread their blessings to those in need. The experiential portion will be followed by a discussion of the different energies of the rising and setting sun; various ways of understanding the sun as a source of healing; the Buddhist, Taoist and Chinese medical roots of solar qigong, and time for Q&A. Class will not be recorded or available for replay.
