Bodymind Healing Tai Chi/Qigong with Michael Mayer

From an imaginal perspective Tai Chi and Qigong are initiatory traditions which stem from a long-lost lineage that includes self-healing, spiritual unfoldment, self-defense and changing your life stance through “shape shifting.”

You’ll become initiated into the integrative practice, Bodymind Healing Qigong, that Dr. Michael synthesized over 40 years of training with some of the most respected Tai Chi and Qigong masters.

Learn why Standing Meditation Qigong has been called “the million dollar secret of qigong,” how the animal forms of Qigong can help you reactivate your primordial self, and why Yi Chuan walking meditation adds something vital to traditions of Walking Meditation.

Here you’ll find a blend of imaginative teaching stories from cross-cultural ancient sacred wisdom traditions, Qigong practices that can be done lying down, sitting, or standing, Two-person self-development practices (Tai Chi joining hands practice), and Tai Chi dance.
