This intermediate qigong practice naturally stimulates the wood element of your body in accord with Chinese five-element theory.  

It consists of a single continuous movement which you do repeatedly.  

Through it you learn to move energy upward and downward and expand your energy outward and absorb energy inward - as a tree does.  

You also learn to circulate chi through the macro- and micro-cosmic orbits of your body and how to pulse your joints and cavities.  

It is used in China for conditions such as arthritis.

We offer the following courses in this subject. Please click on any that interest you:

• Foundations
• Refinements

You’ll learn the basic movements of Heaven and Earth, as well as those of Circling Hands – a related exercise.

We’ll explore the nature of circular movement and yin/yang transitions and how to connect your chi to that of the earth.

You will also learn how to incorporate skills practiced in Energy Gates into Heaven & Earth, such as sinking, outer dissolving of the energy gates, macro and micro alignments, and breathing.

This course will not be offered this session.
