About this Event
What Is Foundational Qigong?
Foundational Qigong introduces the core exercises and essential internal components (neigong) of the Energy Arts System, drawing from the principles of the Taoist Water Tradition. Designed to build a strong base for vibrant health and stress relief, this practice systematically releases physical and mental tension while boosting overall energy levels.
Key Highlights of the Practice:
- Core Exercises: Practice neutral standing postures, sitting alignment, Taoist breathing, and Qigong Circling Hands across three planes of motion.
- Internal Principles (Neigong): Learn optimal biomechanical alignment, circular whole-body movement, nerve release, and activation of the kwa—the doorway to internal energy work.
- Core Philosophy: Employs the 70% Rule to encourage full effort without strain, allowing you to move fluidly, balance your energy, and cultivate smooth, relaxed practice.
Whether you are seeking to reduce stress and improve energy or preparing to advance into complex Taoist practices (such as Tai Chi, Bagua, or Meditation), Foundational Qigong provides the essential skills needed for a lasting, health-nourishing practice.
