FOUNDATION PRACTICES
Inner Smile Meditation
With the inner smile meditation, we cultivate opening our hearts to ourselves and others. Our eyes are the source of true smiles, which activate potent healing powers.
Practising inner smile meditation trains our mind to send messages of love, acceptance, understanding, and appreciation. It helps us keep in touch with our bodies and be ready to seek the positive. It activates our parasympathetic nervous system’s “relaxation response,” which produces distinct physiological changes that harmonise our body’s physiological systems, thus activating well-being and self-healing.
6 Healing Sounds Meditation
Release excess heat to transform negative emotions into positive emotions. Connecting to our major organs with a loving smile and awareness allows us to forgive, let go, and put the negative emotions behind us. Emitting sounds in specific postures and visualising colours that stimulate the optimum frequency for each major organ cools the body. It releases toxins, allowing it to relax and let go to the earth.
Microcosmic Orbit
Microcosmic orbit is a Taoist term that describes the link between two major energy channels in the body that create a safe circuit. This meditation facilitates and reinforces the flow of Qi in the Functional Channel at the front of the body and the Governor Channel at the back, ensuring that “What goes up must come down”, enabling any energy to be well distributed throughout the body and utilised by the organs and glands instead of getting stuck in the higher regions of the body as it rises. A must when cultivating energy!!!
Deepening the practice
To ensure the participants embody the basic foundation practices, we will study a selection of qigong forms that promote physical and emotional grounding, flexibility, and connection to the 5-element theory. Check out the daily programme below.
This retreat is open to people of all knowledge and physical ability levels.
This retreat gives you 27 hours that can be added to your Tao passport.
Those interested in instructor evaluation or upgrading MUST contact Gillian before signing up.
