It’s hard to believe it, but one week from tomorrow will be our first Qigong class back after the August break. I hope you’re all enjoying the changing, late-summer energy. We’re in a draught here in the east, but as my neighbor points out, that makes it easier to pull weeds---a nice example of the principle that there’s always a drop of Yin in Yang, and a drop of Yang in Yin.
Over the past few weeks, I’ve enjoyed researching a Qigong form called Yi Jin Jing, or muscle tendon strengthening. Based on ancient foundational principles, its movements were codified into a 12- exercise Qigong form in the 70’s. There are lots of variations, and from among them I’m choosing the versions that I believe will work best for you. I think you’ll enjoy them: they’re a little different, feel great, and create interesting opportunities to stretch and strengthen in new ways.
