Tian Yuan & Di Yuan Qigong Workshops

• You're more stressed than you'd like to be with all the craziness going on in the world today...
• Your monkey-mind never switches off - it's constantly 'talking' to you, stealing your innern peace
• You wake up grumpy or groggy and find it hard to get going without that cup of strong coffee...
• Muscles and joints are often stiff - you experience pain in the neck, back, shoulders, hips, ankles, back of legs...
• Your energy is lower than you'd like, with mid-afternoon 'slumps', finding yourself slumped on the sofa after a day at work, too tired to even cook dinner
• You often experience symptoms or pain such as fatigue, digestive issues, back pain, muscle pain, joint pain, headaches, migraines, insomnia...

The good news is there something you can do about this that puts you back in the driving seat of your life!

Your body is an incredible self-healing machine, and Yuan Gong is specifically designed to help restore a natural state of inner peace and calm, as well as switch on the natural self-healing abilities of the body mind. 

Read on and find out how Yuan Gong can help...

Yuan Gong Qigong is a brand new system of Qigong brought to the world in 2013 by enlightened teacher and lifelong Qigong master Yuan Tze. 

There are thousands of Qigong methods and schools around the world, many of which are centuries old.  This new system has been developed specifically to help humanity with current-day challenges.

What makes Yuan Gong Qigong different?

You've probably seen people in parks doing Tai Chi, which is also a form of Qi Gong, and may have wondered what they are doing. Most, if not all, styles of Qigong help people to improve health by improving the quality and quantity of Qi: a common goal of any style of Qi (energy / life force) Gong (to cultivate) is to improve one's Qi, which is typically done through standing and moving postures, as well as certain meditations. 

Yuan Gong takes this life cultivation to the next level through not only the ability to restore health, but also a strong emphasis on cultivating and transforming the mind and consciousness. 

Why is this important? Because most of our life problems stem from our unconscious beliefs and unconscious patterning, which in turn lead to unhealthy ways of living, aka, poor ways of thinking, feeling and behaving.

To understand how Yuan Gong Qigong works, one also needs to understand what 'Qi' is:

Qi is not just 'energy', as the word is often translated. Qi is 'energy or life force impregnated with information'. It is the 'information' in Qi which makes it healthy or unhealthy, beneficial or harmful. The healthier and in greater quantity our Qi is, the healthier and happier we will be. So in Yuan Gong we spend much time improving the quality and quantity of our Qi by transforming the information which infuses it.

So what is this 'information'?

The information is the deep patterning which makes up our consciousness, which plays out as thoughts, feelings, emotions, beliefs (mostly unconscious), habits, as well as our conscious and unconscious mind. In Yuan Gong we refer to these as the patterns of the consciousness and the patterns of the heart consciousness (because the heart also has it's own consciousness or 'Xin Ling').

When we learn and practice Yuan Gong, we are not only improving the health of our body and mind through increasing the quality and quantity of Qi, we are literally transforming our consciousness from deep within, which helps us in turn to cultivate and grow the '5 treasures of life'.

These 5 treasures are what all humans are ultimately seeking: health, harmony, happiness, growth and wisdom. 

Tian Yuan and Di Yuan are your doorway to the Yuan Gong system of whole life cultivation. 

Tian Yuan is the first of the 9 methods of Yuan Gong Qigong. Here are some of the benefits you are likely to experience with practice:

• It is a standing-moving Qigong method designed to draw in pure, unadulterated Qi (life force) from an infinite supply in the universe to supplement lost energy reserves. It therefore increases energy and life force within the body.
• Simultaneously the method has a deep, calming effect on the body-mind, relaxing the muscles and stilling the mind: it helps stop the 'monkey mind' chatter, replacing it with an experience of deep inner peace.
• By restoring a state of inner calm and peace, the natural self-healing abilities of the body-mind are switched on, assisting the body to instigate self-healing of whatever health problems one might be experiencing
• Tian Yuan also helps clear energy blockages in the body, especially in the upper back where many people hold stress and tension. Within just a few days of practice people usually find their chronic, long-term tensions in the shoulders and neck start to reduce.
• The great thing about learning any of the Yuan Gong Qigong methods is that you only need to learn properly once to have them to use for a lifetime. The investment is priceless. 

It is very important to learn the methods properly from the start so that bad habits are not set in place. Learning the methods is done from a qualified Yuan Gong teacher. Kim has been teaching Yuan Gong since 2013, and other forms of Qigong since 2000. 

Di Yuan is the second of the 9 methods of Yuan Gong Qigong. Here are some of the benefits you are likely to experience with practice:

• Di Yuan is a standing still Qigong form (with a small amount of arm movement) designed to help the body store and utilize the Qi (life force) drawn into the body through Tian Yuan (see above). 
• Like Tian Yuan, it has a deep, calming effect on the body-mind, stilling the mind and stopping the 'monkey mind' chatter, replacing it with an experience of deep inner peace
• By restoring a state of inner calm and peace, the natural self-healing abilities of the body-mind are switched on, helping the body to instigate self-healing for whatever health problems one might be experiencing
• Di Yuan also helps realign the body and spine into its natural posture, assisting to self-correct postural misalignments, for example helping with sway backs etc
