Weekly Seasonal Zoom Classes with Master Wu

In order to support the traditional cultivation practices of Qi-friends from all over the world, I will continue to offer weekly Qigong classes through Zoom.

Aligned with the Great Way of Nature, the topics of these classes change with each season, providing opportunities to harmonize our personal Qi with Daoist cosmological GanZhi calendar.

My weekly seasonal classes are donation based, open to everyone, regardless of experience.

Class Description

Chinese Shamanic Cosmic Orbit Qigong is an advanced internal cultivation practice from the EMei ZhenGong 峨嵋真功 (Mt. EMei Shamanic Qigong) tradition. This 12 movement form utilizes key components of ancient shamanic Qigong lineages – mudra, mantra and visualization and connects us with the 12 rhythms of the natural cycle, the 12 Tidal Hexgrams of the Yijing (I Ching), the 12 Chinese Animals and 12 Earthly Branches.

In the first seven movements of the Cosmic Orbit Qigong form, we focus on strenthening vitality, our YangQi 陽氣, and on refining the Qi of our five organ systems. In the last five movements, we activate all of our meridians – allowing the Qi to flow smoothly through the microcosmic orbit of our body and opening space for deep spiritual transformation to occur.

EMei ZhenGong lineage holder Master Zhongxian Wu offers detailed instruction and explanation of the healing and internal alchemy benefits of this esoteric form.

The Original Source of Chinese Medicine

When I was a child in China, I was curious about the way that the local Wu 巫 (Chinese shaman) gave treatments to patients. How could an acupuncture needle release the pain when the Wu put it in a suffering patient’s body? How could his chanting help patients recover from their sickness? Though I grew to understand more knowledge about Chinese medicine as I grew up, I never got the answers to my questions during my childhood. My early questions grew into more questions! What are meridians? What is an acupuncture point? Where did this knowledge come from? How do we know to practice in these ways?

Through years and years of Qigong practice, I finally got all the answers to my questions. I came to understand that ancient Wu 巫 (Chinese Shamanism) is the root of all traditional Chinese culture, which of course includes classical Chinese Medicine.

In this presentation, I will share some of my thoughts about the original source of Chinese medicine, our ancient concept of medicine, the principle of Qi/energy healing, and the Wu Gong巫功 – the Chinese Shamanic Qigong practice.

Also, on the 9th day of 9th Lunar Month (this year on 23 October), is ChongYang 重陽, the Double Yang Festival, which symbolizes of returning to the Dao, as well as the birthday for the Mother of the Big Dipper!

Autumn Zoom Cultivation Practice: Shamanic Tiger Qigong

Chinese Shamanic Tiger Qigong is a uniquely potent practice designed to bolster our health and deepen our spiritual connection to universal energy. Lineage holder, Master Zhongxian Wu provides detailed instruction in this powerful 24-movement Qigong form from China’s shamanic Mt. Emei tradition.

The tiger is a symbol for shamanic power and for Qi, especially ZhengQi 正气. Physically, ZhengQi is represented most strongly by the Lung, which prevents pathogenic Qi from invading the body. The Lung governs and energizes all the meridians of the body, helping us to achieve and maintain a high level of resilient well being.

Completion of sessions 1-2 required to attend this event.

This course will be taught in English, with real time French translation

Program description:

This program offers an invitation to thoroughly explore the time-honored practices that promote harmony in your Inner-Trinity (body, Qi, and spirit) and in your Outer-Trinity (family, community, and environment).

Instruction is offered in an immersive setting. During four intensive trainings, we delve ever deeper into the theories and practices of these ancient lineage teachings. It is through our own cultivation practices that we learn to turn knowledge into the wisdom of our own daily experience.

In the Daoist tradition, an essential component of all internal cultivation practices is community. Being in the company of like heart-minds offers tremendous support on our life journey. After the initial 4 trainings of the JingDao program, we will continue to offer various advanced topic retreats in order to support our growing community of cultivation practitioners. As we walk together on the Daoist path, we grow as a family, with students building lasting friendships as Qi brothers and sisters.

Live event with option for virtual attendance!

Description

Of all my inner cultivation experiences, I find the most powerful practices to be from Fu 符, Chinese Talismans. In the EMei Sage Style Qigong School 峨眉真功, the lineage master traditionally teaches the talisman system to only a limited number of students throughout his or her entire life. Although other EMei forms may be taught openly and without restriction, this most revered system is carefully guarded.

According to Wu 巫 (Chinese shamanism) custom, talismans allow us direct access to universal Qi forthe purposes of inner cultivation, healing, and creating harmonizing Fengshui energy.

About the Red Phoenix Talisman

In this training, Master will share Red Phoenix talisman cultivation and healing principles.

In Chinese Shamanism and Daoism, Red Phoenix is the spiritual animal of the south and the represents the heart. The Red Phoenix in Chinese is known as FengHuang, and it is a symbol of virtue, grace, and auspiciousness.

The first chapter of ShanHaiJing 山海經, the Classic of Mountains and Seas, describes FengHuang and emphasizes the symbolism of its body parts:

有鳥焉，其狀如雞，五采而文，名曰鳳凰，首文曰德，翼文曰義，背文曰禮，膺文曰仁，腹文曰信。是鳥也，飲食自然，自歌自舞，見則天下安寧。There is a bird, it looks like a rooster, with five colored feathers. Its head represents virtue (德), the wing represents righteousness (義), the back represents ritual (禮), the abdomen represents faith (信) and the chest represents humanity (仁). This bird has its meals with natural rhythm, it could sing and dance, when it appears, the world would be peaceful.
ShanHaiJing 山海經, the Classic of Mountains and Seas

Regular practice of the Red Phoenix Talisman and Qigong form will help you strengthen your vitality and awaken your Shen/spirit.
