Qigong Sarasota

New Qigong Sarasota Group – May 2011 – Forming Now…

For the last couple of years we have been going about our business, learning, growing and facilitating workshops in Sarasota. It seems the time is right to start a Sarasota Qigong group on Siesta Key starting in June 2011. Apparently, 2009/2010 was not the right time for us to start a group. The idea just did not flow easily or get traction.

Over the last year, numerous workshop participants have requested that we start a group.

Location:

We have a location now. We are going to practice on a large, fenced, private deck surrounded by lots of foliage rich with the gulf air, yet shielded from direct wind.

Although we love the beach at Siesta, we have learned that there are distinct benefits to practicing away from the wind and also to have more privacy while exercising the energy.

If this experience sounds interesting. Let us know at our new website and read more here:

Qigong Sarasota

We will also integrate Tibetan Rites practice for those who are interested.

Looking forward to meeting you and sharing your energy.

Hey all…

We love blogetery in many ways and in fact one of our very first blogs was a Blogetery blog…

We have several of them today.

As far a Qigong Sarasota goes, we are setting up an alternative blog here: Qigong Sarsota

Please check it out and watch the video there…

Qigong Sarasota Announces a New Class in Sarasota

We call this practice Rejuvenation Energy Alignment…

As we age our natural vibrational patterns in the energy centers
(chakras) begin to slow down causing us to feel tired and heavy from
the inside out.  Stress, over stimulation, trauma, continuous physical
fatigue, injuries and aging can create blockages and imbalances in our
chakras and energy meridians.  The result is a dramatic loss of energy.

This course draws on a variety of disciplines specifically designed to bring
the energy body back into balance and start the rejuvenation process
using a combination of:

• Integrated qigong postures from two separate Qigong systems
• Tibetan rejuvenation yoga system
• Guided meditation
• Grounding techniques
• Breath work

Location:
Transendance Chiropractic
1487 2nd St – Suite B

We’ll see you there…

I grew up on the west coast in the San Francisco bay area, and more particularly, Berkeley. And that’s why I never liked the beach much as a kid. The water was always freezing cold and there was often heavy fog and a ‘wet’ cold that Mark Twain once described this way:

“The coldest winter I ever spent was the summer I spent in San Francisco.”

In July 2009, we landed in Sarasota and within two weeks we found Siesta Beach. In my life I had never experienced anything like it. We found ourselves being drawn like magnets to this pristine enchanting place.

The sand is 99% quartz crystal, soft, beautiful and soothing to the feet.  The water is about 85 degrees. What amazing energy and what a perfect place for Qigong practice.

Qigong is – what I referred to over the years as – my internal battery charger. Qigong is my friend and it keeps me sane in an often crazy world. For the 20+ years I have practice qigong, I have almost always practiced in doors – for privacy and lack of interuption, but also because cold or heat can have a very disturbing affect on the body when the channel qi (chi) meridians are wide open during practice.

But Siesta Key Beach is different.

The energy is perfect and balanced and clean and rejuvenating. One gets a sense that God is present at all times in this magnificent place – and that if we listen carefully we will be able to hear God speak.

We have been looking for the right place to teach a class we have developed called Rejuvenation Energy Alignment. And this is the right place. This class is a combination of:

• breath-work
• chanting and harmonic balancing
• physical practice that includes:
  • Integrated Qigong postures from two Qigong systems
  • Tibetan Rejuvenation Yoga
  • Walking
• guided meditation
• grounding techniques

This program is a combination of practices that I have learned over the last 30+ years in a sequence that works well for me. Traditionally, Chinese qigong is practiced in the early morning when there is not yet too much activity, it is quiet and the air is still rich with oxygen from the night before. This class will be in the early morning starting at 7:00 a.m. (before it gets too hot) and we will also develop an alternate class at sundown.

My wife, Alexandra, and I will be teaching the course together. She is an angel in human form and has been deeply involved in self-development work and Spiritual growth since the early 80′s. Her energy, her Light and her deep Spiritual love  is a strong, balancing component in any class she helps facilitate.  Energetically and Spiritually, we are a dynamic and powerful team.

Come join us and start creating a new physical consciousness and an amazing new lifestyle that is fun and sustainable.

See you there…

Welcome to Qigong Sarasota…and the practice of Rejuvenation Energy Alignment.

Beginning August 10, 2009 at 7:00a.m., we are launching a series of ongoing classes in Sarasota, Florida on Siesta Key Beach.

These classes are the culmination of many years of study and practice of the internal arts and a variety of Qigong and Tibetan “yoga” practices combined.

With an emphasis on:

• Balancing and activating the channel qi (chi) meridians
• Actively accumulating, managing and storing energy
• Anti-aging
• Improving comprehensive and core strength
• Breath for life
• Meditation

Start with introductory trainings on Siesta Beach and join a core group of regular practitioners who want to improve together – in a group environment. This collective experience creates an ongoing developmental support mechanism.

As we progress and expand the group, we will continue to introduce new exercise practices and create new group experiences at each level of development as the collective joy and abilities emerge and expand.

These courses are for all skill levels. Wherever you are in your development and whatever you chose to accomplish fits here.

We look forward to sharing this experience with you and it is our sincere joy to be in such a wonderful place.  Siesta Beach is truly an energetic space of heaven on earth. With it’s crystal sand beaches and warm soothing sea, Siesta Key

is a perfect place to recreate physical consciousness and restore the natural defaults of the original energetic health we were born with.

We look forward to meeting you and experiencing this together.
