Taiji Circling Hands is a simple single-movement qigong. Its gentle circular pattern effectively releases tension from the spine and nervous system, producing a calm focused awareness while relieving various joint and spine aches. Instruction in Daoist Natural Breathing is included. Students already knowing Reverse Breathing will be instructed how to use that to amplify all internal and energetic components.

The basic movement is perfect for learning deeper aspects of more advanced qigongs, neigongs and taiji, without requiring a complex choreography. Some of these include pulsing of the joints and body cavities, bending and bowing the spine, activating the Microcosmic Orbit, moving qi through specific organs to cleanse and heal them and projecting qi into and absorbing qi from the immediate environment. While not all of this may be presented in a one-day workshop, we’ll add deeper material throughout the day at a comfortable pace for the group.
