Harmonizing with Seasonal Qi: 3 Day Retreat – Four Seasons Meditation with Master Liu He

July 24, 2017 @ 9:00 am - July 26, 2017 @ 12:00 pm

Four Seasons Meditation

Are you ready to harmonize with each season? Learn more about the Chinese classics? Learn Qigong to awaken this ancient information?

Master Liu He will take you on a journey to explore Chapter 2 of the Huang Di Nei Jing (or The Yellow Emperor’s Classic of Internal Medicine) that is entitled the “Great Treatise on the Harmony of the Atmosphere of the Four Seasons with the Human Spirit”. As you can guess, this chapter explains what and what not to engage in during a particular season to harmonize with the natures energies.

Along with the lecture, Master Liu will introduce you to Four Seasons Meditations, teaching you a meditation (laying, sitting, and standing) to harmonize your body, emotions, and spirits in each of the seasons.

Spring (associated with the Liver and Wood) is a time of growth and regeneration in nature. Representative of new beginnings, a profound way to energize the body after illness and periods of lethargy, you give birth to the pure yang qi and increase blood circulation. Practicing this meditation after a long cold winter, your body will naturally resonate with the spring energies and have the power to harmonize you with the year. There is a Chinese expression that states, “the whole year’s energy depends upon the Spring”.

Summer (associated with the Heart and Fire) is a time for continued growth, ripening, and reaching out. This all depends upon the foundation of Spring.

Fall (associated with the Lungs and Metal) brings a time for harvesting the Qi from Spring and Summer.

Winter (associated with the Kidneys and Water) is the time for storing and hibernating the Qi in order for the Spring cycle of growth to regenerate once again.
