Overview
Profound Qigong and Neigong workshop focusing on the practical implications of health, love, sexuality and physical vitality in harmony. Combining Qi Gong for opening the body, internal Nei Gong meditations for accessing energy pathways, strengthening internal structure and standing/sitting for posture rooting and alignment; a chance to learn the techniques that strengthen the reproductive system and replenish our lifeforce energy (jing).In learning how to harness our sexual/creative energy (Ching) we become skilled in repairing, integrating and rebalancing health and emotions. By strengthening the pelvic floor gently, ('sealing the 3 gates') and opening realigned energy connections/centres throughout the body; we can start cultivating the marvellous properties of Jing (lifeforce energy) to Creative/Sexual Energy (Ching) returning essence back into the body to nourish and revitalise ourselves holistically.
Personal Cultivation
Solo Cultivation is a journey with ourself towards experiencing balance, harmony in sexuality, requiring no-one else to fill the missing part to our whole and is a chance to take our healing into our own hands.As it implies Solo Cultivation is a journey towards autonomy and has been a constant in my path for over 13 years. The multi-layered purpose of the practice continues to change and develop as I do. Initially my experience of it was one of incredible physical and stamina recovery from serious ill health, surgery and long periods in hospital ( where there was nothing better to do than learn to meditate!).
My practice subsequently developed through to a strong solo and self contained healing cultivation; initially learning how to replenish and conserve energies. This was a discovery that sex was life and life sex. This was a significant understanding of the separation which lead to dis-ease ("lack of ease"). I found I had gained access to a vital creative/sexual energy in life and ill health at a root level got healed. The fulfillment I found in Solo cultivation continues to give me great peace, great autonomy in my sexual energies with and without a partner. This is a freedom that doesn't depend on external situations, it is an internal liberation, a joy of connection to the Universe that cannot be explained. Increasingly, in the last 7 years Solo Cultivation has become part of a practice in evolving the body's internal and external strength through Ironshirt, strong Northern School ans well as Southern school Qi Gong, Inner Alchemy and Nei Gong Practices.
More recently my Solo Cultivation finds expression in learning Hung Leng Kuen Kung Fu and has proved invaluable in further developing stamina, strengthening structure and alignment, inner posture, vitality, subtlety of application and balance of mind needed for this beautiful but exacting art!
