Each season offers different Qigong exercises.
Autumn with the Metal Element: the element of letting go and reflection
The energy of autumn encourages us to breath deeply. The energy slows down after summer. The linked organs are the large intestines and lungs, the opening is the nose. The metal energy from autumn encourages us to focus on supporting and balances the respiratory system and the colon..
Learn "The White Wing Circle": Here we open acupuncture points of the lung meridian to strengthen our immune system. "Spinal Cord Breathing" massages the heart and lungs and increases flexibility in the thoracic spine.
Learn the "Energiser Breathing" to support optimism and courage in our lives. We balance the whole organism and support centering and calm.
Postures are moving or stationary, both standing and sitting.
This is what awaits you in this Qigong course:
- We start with a 10-15 minute Qigong warm-up sequence
- In the 65-minute class we practice an "easy-to-follow" Qigong sequence
- In the 8-week term you learn the beautiful "Golden Elephant coils its trunk" Qigong and practices for Autumn Qigong
- The last part is a "Stillness"Qigong practice in sitting posture - Duration 5-12 minutes.
- To Autumn belongs also the skin and the hair on our body and the colour is the white and silver. The movements are in a soft, flowing rhythm, which can improve the respiratory, blood circulation and vitality. The tendons, fascia, ligaments and muscles get massaged and the breath gets deeper.
- Through the natural, unrestricted postures the meridians or energy channels open more, so the life force "Qi" can circulate freely and increase.
- With daily practice your body will become more supple, conscious and your movements graceful
