Welcome to Qigong: The 18 Forms, a six-part practice with Mimi Kuo-Deemer that guides you through a classic, meditative sequence that encourages slow, nature-based movement and deep, rich breath-awareness.
Join us once a week for the next six weeks as we move through the subtle, gentle practice of Qigong. When done properly, qigong improves the circulation of your vital energy, or qi, as well as the blood and breath without feeling taxing or depleting.
No matter your age or abilities, these daily practices support optimal health and vitality in all layers of life: physical, mental, emotional, and spiritual.
𖦹 DAY THREE 𖦹
Today you’ll learn the importance of chen, otherwise known as sinking the qi. Every seed that’s planted must first root down into the earth before it can grow toward the sky. When we root to rise we feel steady rather than rickety as we ascend. The energy of being rooted is one of strength, resilience, perseverance. Let’s go in and down.
