Happy 2012 & New Year of the
Dragon |
|
January brings celebration of 2
new years.
In our culture, Jan. 1 of the
Gregorian calendar welcomes
2012, a year historically
referenced to for great change.
On the evening of Jan. 22, the
new moon ushers in the Chinese
New Year of the Dragon, another
year of great change.
The element this year is water,
a connection to the Age of
Aquarius.
The Dragon is associated with
liver Qi that opens into our
eyes. So we need to be aware,
keeping our eyes wide open,
ready to act upon the fluidity
of opportunities presented to us
this year before they pass us
by.
Just like the Dragon dance,
spiraling its way as the leader
of the parade, this year of the
Dragon is a time to make sure
our intention for the next stage
in our lives is clear.
I hope you can join us at the
many Chinese New Year
activities scheduled in January
to learn more about the customs
and relevance to our Qigong
practice.
Kung Hey Fa Choy, Gong Xi Fa Cai
, Xin Nian Kuaile!!!
Wishing you and your loved ones
very Happy, Healthy and
prosperous New Year!

Yin Qigong - Full Moon Retreat |

My how time flies. Below photos
from the first Yin Qigong
women's retreat last August at
Hidden Valley Zen Center
in San Marcos.

Dewees, Reyna Lerma, Mira
Portents, Michal Breslav, Fay,
Allison Denehy, Theresa, Laurie
McCullum
& Richelle Swan (who took all
the photos- thanks)
standing by 200 year
old grandmother tree.
Yin Qigong practice created a
very strong chi field of
great nurturing, healing, and
elevated personal
cultivation for all.
Alessandra Coffi, Ph.D.
Expressive Arts Therapy &
Creative Playshops™, facilitated
a session on the
"Sacred Bra" part of the
ceremonial outfit participants
created for the retreat.
Too dark for photos was the
actual outdoor practice.
Glimmering in the stunning light
of the rising full moon,
we all absorbed the exquisite
lunar energy of Tai Yin,
supreme feminine.
Next full moon Yin Qigong
retreat schedule Sept. 29.
