We are offering a six-week course in Zhineng Qigong at the Dublin Dojo on Sundays from Sept. 27th to Nov. 1st, after evening zazen, 7pm - 8:15pm.
Qi gong (pronounced ‘chee gong’) is an ancient Chinese practice which helps to develop and balance the life energy (qi). Practiced regularly, it makes joints more supple, strengthens the muscles, improves balance and coordination and calms the mind. It is a suitable complimentary practice to zazen - sitting meditation -.
In this introductory course, you will learn the first Zhineng form which is called ‘Lift Qi Up Pour Qi Down’. It is a moving meditation which will enhance the flow of qi into and throughout the body. You will also learn some simple but powerful movements designed to clear energy blockages, la qi (how to open and close your energy), and a standing meditation.
The course will be led by Brian Lynch, who completed teacher training in 2019 with Master Zhu Cong Hua. He has been practicing Zhineng Qigong since 2014 and has trained with several Chinese teachers. Brian has also trained in Aikido, Tai Chi and Zen Meditation and these disciplines have influenced his approach to qi gong.
Cost for 6 classes: €72.
