The Library hosted a very special event and we were a part of healing history.
At 10 AM, worldwide, people in hundreds of cities, spanning 80 nations, came together for healthier bodies. This was all a first for me. I love a morning where I learn something new.
Qigong originated in China over 3,000 years ago. Qi means life force energy and Gong means work. Qigong means working with life force energy. Qigong’s flowing movements mimic the movements of nature, especially the fluidity of water.
Our sifu, Eileen, was a calming force. We thoroughly enjoyed the lessons. All Qigong practices use mindful movement as the vehicle for attaining energy and a sense of well being. My favorite was Cloud Hands, a powerful tool for relaxing.
Stillness and action are relative, not absolute, principles.
It is important to find a balance of yin and yang,
not just in qigong, but in everyday life.
In movement, seek stillness and rest.
In rest, be mindful and attentive.
