Does talking always solve a problem or does it reinforce painful memories, perhaps deepening old ruts of thought and behavior? Learn both theory and practices based on the qigong approach to emotional balance. First we will learn how the body transforms the mind— simple postures that enhance grounding, well being, and slow respiration. Then Ken will teach you a seated qigong visualization that releases toxic emotional energy from the internal organs while recharging them with kindness and peace.

This experiential component will be followed by an in-depth exploration of the theory of qigong for emotional balance, including the healing power of nature, the relationship of the five elements to emotions, recent qigong psychology research, and how Taoist transpersonal cures invoke healing powers that calm the mind.
