Jade Body Qigong with Master Liu He – Seattle

April 5, 2014 - April 6, 2014

     Registration closed – contact us for wait list opportunity.

   According to the Nei Jing (The Yellow Emperor’s Classic of Internal Medicine),  “hundreds of illnesses come from damage to the spine.”  Exercising the spine
promotes good health and the recovery of health when diseases are present.  Modern science has also proven that to exercise the spine can improve metabolism and
improve the immune system.

   Liu Dong recognized the importance of a qigong form that focused on the spine.   Having for a long time closely observed the longevity of animals such as turtles,
cranes and the dragon family, as well as their habits and habitats, their movements and their breathing, etc., he found that they have one thing in common:  they all
move their spines frequently.  So, with the help of the universe and his grandfather’s teachings, he designed Jade Body Qigong to imitate the way they move their
spines and the way they breathe – creating the stretch – hold still – relax movement patterns.  These patterns form the core of Jade Body Qigong and have proven
beneficial to many, many people who have practiced the form.

Jade Body Qigong is a simple yet powerful method of healing many spinal problems through imitating the movements and breathing patterns of the turtle,
(undulation of the cervical vertebrae), the crane (undulation of the dorsal vertebrae) and the dragon, (rotation of the lumbar vertebrae). While primarily aimed at
suffering related to the spinal column, these exercises also have beneficial effects on the regulation of problems with the endocrine system. The form is called Jade
Body because it is a cleansing form and jade is thought to be the purist thing.  If your body and mind are as pure as jade, then you are in harmony with the Universe.
