Tai Chi Qigong – Springtime

Universal Energy Arts Academy Seasonal Qigong

The Yin of Winter is followed by the Yang of Spring

Springtime Element – Wood

Organs – Liver (The Planner – associated with vision and planning )

& Gall Bladder (The Wise Decision Maker – associated with direction and decision )

Transform Anger into Universal Loving Kindness

& Timidity into Courage with the Healing Sound for the Liver

SHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH

Spring is a time for new, rising energy, a time of opening, when mother earth begins to sprout and grow sending out shoots and buds.

Spring is a time for New and Rising Energy from a Strong Root System

It is the time to work on our foundation & to cultivate our vision

The Element is Wood and we can use our Tai Chi and our “Standing Like a Tree” Qigong to build strong roots, stability, support, strength & steadiness

Spring is the time to Be More Alive!

It is a great time to spring-clean our environment – body, mind, emotions and energy.

Spring is all about moving out of the stillness of Winter, becoming more alive, active, energetic, playful, creative, spontaneous and motivated.

It is the time of Elemental Wood Energy – Associated organs are the Liver which controls the eyes, sight and sees the whole picture 👀 and the Gallbladder which helps to make decisions and gives direction. Excitement is the emotional quality associated with the liver.

Spring is in the air, the evenings are lengthening, leaves are slowly beginning to open and Mother Nature will soon again become all shades of vibrant green 💚

It is a Great Grand Ultimate time to venture outside and practice our Universal Energy Arts.

Physically, Emotionally, Mentally, Spiritually and Energetically

Tai Chi

Tai Chi brings Empowerment, Inner Peace, Harmony with Nature, the Elements, raises our Consciousness, whilst remaining Grounded and cultivates an Unshakeable Inner Joy.

Tai Chi or Tai Ji

Tai = Grand and Chi (Ji) = Ultimate

Tai Chi is the art of the harmony of yin and yang, in tangible form.

3 Treasures of Humankind – Tai Chi develops Body/Energy/Spirit or Jing/Chi/Shen.

Tai Chi, at its most basic, is a strong and yet gentle form of physical exercise that is great for your health.

It can also become a very disciplined spiritual practice and this aspect often deepens with practice.

Tai Chi is a Mindfulness Meditation

The various movements and postures involved in performing the Tai Chi Form cultivate core strength, stability, alignment, flexibility, coordination as well as vital energy.

Be More Alive through the practice of the Tai Chi Form. Tai Chi energizes the whole body and cultivates Universal Energy/Chi/Qi.

Breathing of course is very important! Focused and rhythmical breathing emphasizes a relaxed body and encourages strong circulation.

Energy Work – Qigong is the Mother of Tai Chi

Heaven & Earth Qigong

Healthy Spine – Tai Chi promotes strength, flexibility, and balance — three key requirements for a healthy spine. The upright posture, abdominal breathing and cultivation of core strength are some of the major reasons why Tai Chi works so well for back pain.

Muscle strength – Tai Chi improves both lower-body strength and upper-body strength and can be comparable to resistance training and brisk walking.

The Tai Chi Form has been designed to balance our whole physical, mental, emotional and energetic systems.

Healing – When we are not in balance, we may become ill, but when we bring ourselves back into natural balance, or perfect harmony, we can become radiantly healthy.

The meditative state of mind achieved during Tai Chi, coupled with the movements and breathing, helps us to dissipate stress and anxiety.

Tai Chi tends to grow on you, and as you practice it, you will also grow on all levels of your existence.

The Tai Chi Form that we practice, helps us to learn, to observe and embrace the actual earth, water, fire, air and spaciousness within and around us.

The elements all exist within all of us, operating collectively to create our life experience.

Humans are a microcosm of nature and so the five basic elements present in all matter also exist within each individual.

We can tune into and harmonize these powers through the practice of Tai Chi, connecting to the fundamental essence of the elements.

We can be Creator of our own life, take control, awaken the magic and power of the elements and transform our lives forever.

Tai Chi is much more than just a healthy form of exercise. It is, at heart, pure nature or consciousness in movement.

It is a Moving Meditation.

After performing Tai Chi, you will naturally be a happy, peaceful, radiant presence in the world for a while.

Tai Chi is all about gentle, graceful, rhythmic, meditative movements that will empower you and help you find inner joy, harmony, peace and calm.

If you are looking for a low-impact form of exercise that gives you the time to quiet your mind and find inner peace while building muscle strength and toning, Tai Chi may just be the answer.

Pamela worked in the public sector for several years before embarking on a career that focuses on Energy Cultivation & Healing.

She is inspired to be the change she wishes to see in the world – cultivating a vibrant physical body, a pure loving heart and an open creative mind.

Pam loves teaching all of the skillful Tai Chi, Qigong, Yoga and Meditation practices and healing techniques that are embodied in the Universal Energy Arts, bringing peace, harmony, empowerment and strength to her students.

She is passionate about introducing these empowering life-enhancing practices and skillful techniques to both adults and children through her mini-retreats,classes, workshops and one-to-one sessions.

She loves life and counts her many blessings everyday, grateful for living so close to Nature to consciously embrace enthusiastically the lessons of each seasonal cycle both internally and externally.

Pamela’s classes flow intuitively adapting to suit those present – they are a fusion of all of the skillful and nurturing techniques, knowledge and wisdom gained from her 20 years of practical application married with a true calling to help and serve others.

She delights in sharing her passion to enable others to cultivate their own happiness, resilience, confidence, fulfillment, vital energy, harmony and abundance – to build, nurture and nourish themselves through the 5 Pillars (Physical, Emotional, Mental, Energetic & Spiritual) of the Universal Energy Arts& YogiChild Academy.

Tai Chi balances your whole physical, emotional and energetic systems.

When you are not in balance, you may become ill.

But when you bring yourself back into natural balance, or perfect harmony, you will become radiantly healthy.

Tai Chi is much more than just a healthy form of exercise.

Tai Chi is, at heart, pure nature or consciousness in movement.

It is a moving meditation.

If you practise Tai Chi long enough, you will become aware of an energy field that surrounds everything, including you.

Gradually, as you keep practising, you will be able to get in touch with this energy field and use it to heal yourself on many different levels.

Eventually you will be able to use this universal energy, or Chi, to transform both your physical being and your mental and emotional outlook on life – your body will become stronger and your emotions will calm down.

Ultimately returning to the wholeness of Life itself.

Japa & Healing Sounds Qigong with Yogi Cho

Here are some Healing Sounds mixed up with Golden Dragon Qigong 💖

Here is some of Friday's Healing Sounds recorded at Yoga le Grá mixed in with Yogi Cho Golden Dragon Qigong 💖

Posted by Yogi Cho on Monday, May 21, 2018

Mantra – The Sanskrit word mantra consists of the root man, mind and tra, liberate or instrument, hence “mind tool or instrument of thought“.

JAPA – Meditative repetition of mantra or sound of divine universal power

HEALING – Natural healing for body, emotions, mind, energy & spirit

QIGONG – Energy Work

The Universal music of mantra meditation will connect you to Nature and the Universe.

Mantra is a bridge to help connect our highest personal power, so with practice, practice, practice the stronger the bridge, the stronger the connection becomes.

Everything is vibration – everything is sound – everything is energy.

Initially it is just a sound until by holding it in our body, heart, mind and soul, through Japa in combination with Qigong, it transforms into a highly compressed, power-packed technique, charged with deep meaning and magical potency.

Nada Yoga – Sound Healing Meditation & Deep Relaxation Yoga Nidra

Nada Yoga is the process of the union of the individual consciousness with universal consciousness through the flow of sound.

“Nada is found within. It is a music without strings which plays in the body. It penetrates the inner and the outer and leads you away from illusion.”

Winter Qigong

❄️ WINTER ❄️ QIGONG ❄️

TRANSFORM FEAR INTO

CALMNESS, CAREFULNESS, CONFIDENCE, COURAGE & FOCUS.

RENEW YOUR ENERGY & WELL-BEING

In the Winter Months it is of course important to stay warm.

Tai Chi & Qigong cultivate internal fire, raise our temperature and are the ideal antidote to the Winter Blues.

How can we adjust our psychic and body rhythms to suit the season?

What happens within us is mirrored by the natural world around us.

During the frost of winter, plants submerge their lifeblood into their roots, animals thicken their hides, and ponds harden into ice.

This is a time of apparent quiescence and stasis, go within, beneath the surface is the hidden activity of gestation and germination and power, that will bring forth renewal in spring.

Winter Energy
Element – Water
Organ – Kidney

Kidney harbours our Essence that feeds and renews our life force. Kidney has many functions physically, emotionally, mentally, spiritually and energetically.
It is, however, also vulnerable to various factors…. many of which we have control over.

TRANSFORM FEAR INTO CALMNESS, CONFIDENCE, CAREFULNESS & FOCUS

Anxiety – Fear is the emotion of the kidneys and the bladder, organs associated with the water element and the Winter time.

Qigong offers simple, effective practices which help to nourish our Qi, Chi, Prana, Energy …our Life Force Energy.

In Tai Chi & Qigong we have the symbol of the Eternal Flame and the Inner Smile at the Lower Dan Tien.

With practice this Eternal Flame becomes brighter and brighter nourishing our Vital Energy, giving us a powerful Energy Shield to protect us from external influences.

To allow the body to rest, repair and replenish.

To feel Safe & Secure, to feel comfortable in ourself, this is the opposite of fear.

Our Universal Energy Arts & YogiChild Academy practices and techniques really do empower you during this time.

We offer weekly classes, monthly weekend Time Out retreats and Teacher Training.

Our e-courses & videos remind us and help us to attend to our Practice.

TRANSFORM FEAR INTO CALMNESS, CONFIDENCE, CAREFULNESS & FOCUS.

RENEW YOUR ENERGY & WELL-BEING

**Heaven & Earth Rainbow Bridge Qigong.**

Late Summer – Start of Autumn – Seasonal Tai Chi Qigong

Now we are in the Season of Late Summer…Start of Autumn.

The Energy of Late Summer corresponds to the nurturing Earth element. Earth is that which gives birth to the ten thousand things and is modelled on Heaven and Earth.

As Above, So Below.

This is when summer with its extreme Yang energy, powerful brilliance and heat, yields and softens to the beginning of autumn, when the cooler Yin energy creeps in.

Our advice for this time of the year is to cultivate a strong rooted foundational support system.

We can then attain a clear vision and alignment to our Higher Self, our highest potential and to the Divine Loving Energies of the Universe.

The Late Summer’s element is earth, the colour is yellow. It is that which holds, contains and supports everything.

In our body the Spleen, Pancreas and Stomach are the Earth Element. They transform everything that we eat and drink into chi and blood. The spleen is also responsible for clarity of thought and our ability to concentrate.

The spleen regulates from the centre constantly, however at this time of the year it becomes more apparent. It is a time when it is easier to see the working of the earth element, which is always there in the background.

The Earth element’s emotion can be anxiety, neediness and worry caused by over-thinking. We can counterbalance this form of imbalance by learning trust, fairness, openness and acceptance by strengthening and harmonizing our Physical & Spiritual Energies with those of Heaven and Earth.

To really Ground ourselves and to manifest our Goals, we recommend Getting Back to Nature, combined with daily Tai Chi, Qigong, Yoga & Meditation Practice. Learn how to Hold the Chi, Transform Your Life, Cultivate Personal Power, Love & Wisdom with the Academy of Universal Energy Arts.

Summer – Fire – Seasonal – Tai Chi – Qigong

Season – Summer

Element –Fire

Organs – Heart/ Small Intestine/ Pericardium/ Triple Heater

Cultivate Bliss and rise above lower emotional vibrations with Tai Chi, Qigong and Healing Sounds for the Heart

Get Back to Nature.

Balance the elements within.

Fire is the energy of summer.

In summer the elemental power of Fire expands to its fullest potential, with Pure Nature Energy making a grand gesture.

Fire gives us warmth and an Inner Joy that helps fuel our Inner Fire and increases our Happiness Factor.

The Fire element empowers us to develop and bloom.

Allow yourself to flower and enjoy the fruit of all the work you have done.

The Fire element manifests in our body through the heart, small intestine, pericardium, and the triple heater (which regulates internal body temperature).

The pericardium provides the heart with physical protection, its energy also protects the heart from damage and disruption by excessive emotional energies generated by the other organs, such as anger from the liver, fear from the kidneys, and grief from the lungs.

Summer is the time to cultivate Inner Joy and Bliss, to rise above lower emotional vibrations with Tai Chi, Qigong and Healing Sounds for the Heart.

We are part of Nature and are all interconnected to the chi, the energy that supports all of creation.

We can cultivate Pure Nature Sunlight Energy by having Fun, Fun, Fun, Fun, Fun allowing our Qigong and Yogic practices and to fill our Hearts with the energy of Divine Universal Love, Light and Abundance.

Summer is in the air, with Mother Nature in full flower and and abundance of Pure Nature Energy.

Now is a great time to practice our Tai Chi, Qigong outside with bare feet.

Yongquan 涌泉 (Bubbling Springs – Kidney 1 acupressure points)

HOW TO GROUND YOURSELF – CLICK HERE

Be aware of the energy points on the soles of the feet.

Connect with the earth energy bubbling up from the ground.

Nurture Inner Joy from within by cultivating a Warm Heartedness.

The basic definition of Bodhicitta is “the desire to realize enlightenment for the sake of others.”

Bodhicitta can be translated as Heartmind, the awakened state where compassion is the natural state of being.

Experience the universal wisdom of the heartmind by transforming the physical, emotional, mental, emotional and energetic blocks that hold back the natural flow and realisation of our true nature.

Qigong purifies our physical, mental and emotional energies and helps to cultivate chi and a Radiant Golden Sunshine filled Body, Spirit & Mind.

Excessive heat can result in inflammation and thus we need to balance the Fire and Water Elements in our Bodies, Hearts and Minds.

Fire is the most Yang energy and due to its upward, expansive nature, it is the most dynamic and most difficult element to sustain balance.

Fire is life, but an excess of fire can quickly turn into rage.

Our experience has proven the Tai Chi Form to be one of the best ways to balance all of our elemental energies, especially Fire and Water, which represent the balance between Yang and Yin.

As the day balances itself with night, a harmonious balance of Yin and Yang is the embodiment of personal well-being.

The Golden Dragons & YogiChild

In YogiChild & The Universal Energy Arts Academy the animal that we emphasize the most is the mythical Golden Dragon.

Golden Dragons possess many magically mysterious powers and can hold the energies of Heaven and Earth.

They are the embodiment of Loving Kindness, Compassion, Divine Love and Generosity and are masters of all the elements of Earth, Water, Fire and Wind.

Through practice of Golden Dragon Forms you will connect to their many potent and auspicious Powers.

Develop incredible strength, courage, endurance, and learn how to manifest good luck as well as material and spiritual abundance.

The Golden Dragons represent total Oneness and are Masters of Tai Chi, the Grand Ultimate.

They hold the Three Treasures of the Universe which are Power (Jing), Divine Love (Purified Chi) and Spiritual Wisdom (Shen).

Through the Golden Dragon Tai Chi & Qigong Forms you can learn to embody the elements, resonate with the twelve directions and connect to your Higher Self.

Tai Chi or Tai Ji

Tai = Grand and Chi (Ji) = Ultimate

Tai Chi is the art of the harmony of yin and yang, in tangible form.

Tai Chi, at its most basic, is a strong and yet gentle form of physical exercise that is great for your health.

It can also become a very disciplined spiritual practice and this aspect often deepens with practice.

The various movements and postures involved in performing the Tai Chi form cultivate core strength, stability, alignment, flexibility, coordination as well as vital energy.

Breathing of course is very important! Focused and rhythmical breathing emphasizes a relaxed body and encourages strong circulation.

Healthy Spine Tai Chi promotes strength, flexibility, and balance—three key requirements for a healthy spine.

The upright posture, abdominal breathing and cultivation of core strength are some of the major reasons why Tai Chi works so well for back pain.

Muscle strength Tai chi improves both lower-body strength and upper-body strength and can be comparable to resistance training and brisk walking.

The Tai Chi Form has been designed to balance our whole physical, mental, emotional and energetic systems.

When we are not in balance, we may become ill and sick. But when we bring ourselves back into natural balance, or perfect harmony, we can become radiantly healthy.

The meditative state of mind achieved during Tai Chi, coupled with the movements and breathing, helps us to dissipate stress and anxiety.

Tai Chi tends to grow on you, and as you practice it, you will also grow on all levels of your existence.

The Tai Chi Form that we practice, helps us to learn, to observe and embrace the actual earth, water, fire, air and spaciousness within and around us.

The elements all exist in all of us, operating collectively to create our life experience.

Humans are a microcosm of nature and so the five basic elements present in all matter also exist within each individual.

We can tune into and harmonize these powers through the practice of Tai Chi, connecting to the fundamental essence of the elements.

We can be Creator of our own life, take control, awaken the magic and power of the elements and transform our lives forever.

Tai Chi is much more than just a healthy form of exercise. It is, at heart, pure nature or consciousness in movement.

It is a moving meditation.

After performing Tai Chi, you will naturally be a happy, peaceful, radiant presence in the world for a while.

Tai Chi is all about gentle, graceful, rhythmic, meditative movements that will empower you and help you find inner joy, harmony, peace and calm.

Universal Energy Arts Academy Seasonal Qigong – Springtime

Element – Wood

Standing Like a Tree Chi Kung/Qigong or Zhan Zhuang. Zhan Zhuang pronounced “Jan Jong” in Mandarin or “Jarm Jong” in Cantonese, means standing like a stake, a post or like a tree.

It is a Standing Meditation that enables us to be at one with the Pure Nature Energies as well as cultivating a strong connection to the Higher Energies of the Universe. This form of Standing Like a Tree is a special method of spiritual training in Taoist martial arts. This is a fantastic way to learn to hold and cultivate chi.

In the sequence we are deeply rooted in the Earth below, standing in a strong Tai Chi stance with our head connecting to Heaven above and with our arms and hands like powerful branches that hold the chi and enable us to grow into our own spaciousness.

“I LOVE practicing Standing Like A Tree Qigong style! With a wider base, I feel well rooted and into the Earth. Even the very first move incorporating the intention and visualisation of sending roots down from the soles of my feet deeply into the earth allows for the chattering monkey mind to settle as my breath settles deeply into my belly/lower dan tien just below the navel, internally. I feel the connection to the Earth and, as the roots spread out in all directions round about me, I observe the effect of the support and strength the posture offers. When I practice with others I know that we support each other, as a group of trees who’s roots are intertwined with each other.

As with the laws of nature, and the Tree, the shoots grow as the plant is nurtured and nourished through its roots system … it’s energy rises and the trunk of the tree grows and thickens, strengthens and can support and continues to nurture its growth and development… supporting its vitality. So too this is what’s happening while I practice…. the life force energy nurtures me as I bring my focus and attention, to the rise of energy up through my body. I can feel my feet, ankles, lower legs, knees, upper legs and lower abdomen fill up with this supportive and nurturing energy.

Although standing still without moving it would appear, there’s a lot going on internally…. the skill is to settle in/root downwards, grounding my energy, consciously tuning into the upward flow of energy/prana/breath. This develops into the internal cultivation of energy or Neigong. Over time, and with practice, this simple meditative technique, unfolds, awakens and offers more and more insights into the nature of me and how I am/like/feel/ live and love the life I live. Chi Kung/Qigong offers huge benefits to my life…. it’s so very simple to do it can be done anywhere…. shopping queues are a favourite of mine!

Calming of my emotions, leading to peace of mind, increased sensitivity to my nature, toning of my muscles, strengthening all aspects of me and increased energy/vitality I can cultivate/hold and store whenever its required for me to live the life I live! Why complicate my life with the right conditions, perfect practice space, clothes, yoga mat etc etc…. I can practise as I wash my teeth, at the kitchen sink, in any stressful moment…. instant grounding!

If you do nothing else today…. take just a few minutes to practice this – for your own peace of mind. ❤️” Pamela Skinner

By the way this video was filmed at the Old Head of Kinsale in County Cork, Ireland. A beautiful location on the Wild Atlantic Way. When you stand on a cliff edge it really helps you to root into the Earth through the Bubbling Springs in the soles of your feet 🙂

This style of Standing Like a Tree has a variety of positions and really helps to harmonize, purify and empower our body, spirit, emotions, mind and major energy centres.

Being Strongly Grounded assists us to hold the Higher Energies of the Universe.

The three treasures of the Universe – Heaven, Earth and Humankind. The three treasures of Humankind – Jing, Chi & Shen.

Cultivate Power, Love and Wisdom.
