Pulse of life
Added 2022-07-06 20:35:30 +0000 UTCHello. I hope you are doing well. In the last few classes I taught, I emphasized the importance of the pulsing work we do in qi gong. For those who missed the last Body Lab class, it is available from Tier 2 and up.
Pulsing or pumping is a movement that stimulates Qi flow. Qi being our life force, this simple movement gives us more energy to feel ourselves in our bodies. It makes us more fluid, supple and connects us to our inner flow.
Try it - gently pulse your fingers or knees or ankles mindfully and rhythmically like you are in water for 30 seconds to 1 minute.
How was that?
Qi means breath as well and it moves through our whole body through our blood and fluids too.
A little pumping goes a long way!
I wanted to share this video of the most extraordinary ballet & contemporary dancer, force of nature and legend, Sylvie Guillem from her last performance in Tokyo of her groundbreaking career. I am so lucky to have seen her dance live many times and it changed me everytime.
This performance of Maurice Béjart's Boléro is mesmerizing perfectiontion.
As someone interested in how movement can affirm our emotions, desires and very human stories, please enjoy and pulse your way into embodying your own unique wisdom into being!
With Love,
Rie
