A Day of Breathwork
and Healing
Join us on Winter Solstice
Sunday December 21'st 2008
9:30 AM -5:30 PM
In
this one day workshop we will once again explore how the breath. can give us access to
contact the Shen (mind), heal afflictive aspects of the Shen, and touch the redemptive aspects of the spirit. We will explore a variety of breathing techniques and Qigong exercises to
access and heal the Shen and the Qi. In the darkest hour the light is reborn, this is the solstice message. So come and reconnect to your essence and be ready for Christmas!
This day of healing will be basically experiential, but we might touch upon the following:
Pre-birth Qi and post-birth
Qi -the Breath of birth.
breath and emotion, breath and
trauma
Deep slow breathing, the breath-wave through the three Jiao
Deep fast breathing, hyperventilation, trance state, tremor and release
Slow quiet breathing methods - the edge of sleep
Breath release and movement, breath and Latihan release, chaotic breath and catharsis
Breath centering into body parts or symptoms - Breath release and Awareness release technique.
Breath release for the three Jiao - the chest, diaphragm and pelvis
working with the gentle-breath touch of the practitioner to facilitate emotional healing and gentle contact.
The
Fierce-breath touch of the practitioner to break up blockages - an
exploration of exorcistic qigong treatment intervention.
- Breathing and the kinetics of the Eight Extraordinary Channels
If you want to go deeper into the subject this
picture is a link to a recording of a talk on my website about healing the Shen
by working with the breath:
This picture speaks to me of the fractal
multiplication of bronchial branching in the lungs. It is known that
there are 9 or 10 generations of branching from the two bronchii down to
the 350-450 million alveoli. This is a demonstration of the delicate
canopy (hua Gai) quality of the lungs talked about in ancient Chinese texts.
 The character for lung - 'Fei' originally represented a lustrous growth, like
the branching of vine-like plants on a canopy.
