Winter Solstice Internal Alchemy Zoom Ceremony
2024-12-21 16:30 - 18:00 (Europe/Stockholm)
Description

Join me on Zoom to celebrate the winter solstice, one of the most powerful times for inner transformation and healing. In this session we practice using the mudra associated with Fu 復 hexagram 24.

Fu is the first of the twelve tidal hexagrams and represents the energetic pattern of rebirth and the Rat animal sign.

The symbol of the hexagram is made with one Yang line at the bottom and five Yin lines on top, which represents Yang Qi, or new life energy, returning back in a natural cycle.

It is the symbol for rebirth and rejuvenation.

Description
Taiji, commonly translated as “supreme ultimate,” is a Daoist concept about the force of this universal creation, and is also the name of an internal Daoist Qigong and martial arts form that is practiced for physical training, health benefits and spiritual cultivation. The Yijing BaGua (“8 symbols”) are the building blocks of Daoist philosophy, internal martial arts and classical Chinese medicine and are used to represent the fundamental principles of the universe.
Passed directly from the Daoist Hidden Immortal Lineage, the eight movements of the Taiji Mother Form embody the philosophy of YinYang 陰陽, WuXing 五行, and BaGua 八卦of the Yijing易經 (I Ching). The slow, deliberate movements are precisely choreographed to create a relaxed mind-body dance that strengthens, stretches, and awakens the three bodies – Jing 精, Qi 氣, and Shen 神.
