Qigong Workshop: Movement Practices for Clearing Stagnation & Building Resilience

From Leilani: In this hour, we'll practice my favorite qigong exercises for 

• clearing stagnation related to the five major emotions, 

• harmonizing qi, 

• and building up our reserves of energy.

Chinese Medicine teaches us that about half of our diseases trace back to how we relate to our emotions. This qigong practice is one way of tending to that crucial connection between physical and emotional health.

At the same time, many health challenges these days are related to overwork and overstimulation, because we (and I do mean, "we," myself included!) don't rest as much as our bodies would like during the dark hours of each night, and during the winter season of the year. Although it doesn't replace rest, qigong is one powerful way to help build our reserves and stay resilient.
