Shoshanna will be sharing insights about the physical and energetic effects of rooting deeply into the earth, relaxing your body-mind and centering yourself energetically within your physical body. She will help you better understand and experience how this serves to balance and nourish yin-yang energies along with building a stronger connection between heaven and earth. It also harmonizes the physical and energetic counterparts of yourself leading to greater authenticity, enhanced vision and ability to manifest your health and life goals. You will come away from this Qi Talk with renewed commitment to promoting internal qiflow and power through sustained attention to rooting, relaxing and centering throughout your Qi practice.

Hello! and Welcome to this new programme of The Personal Energy Centre - a growing community of people involved in Qigong. My preferred translation of Qigong is ‘Personal Energy Cultivation’, so no wonder. It’s been two years since one of these annual programmes of treatment, courses, products and news has been sent out - because of the covid lockdowns. Much has changed, but some things have stayed the same - after 2,000+ years Qigong has remained as effective and important as it always was, and is. Look and see what’s of interest or relevance to you, and feel free to send comments or questions. More information is available on the website, with free books, so just click on the link below or search the web. Classes take place on Zoom every Tuesday and Thursday evenings, Students can take part from any location in any country. You can too! Best, Jim MacRitchie

Of all my inner cultivation experiences, the most powerful practices are Fu, Chinese Talisman. According to Wu (Chinese Shamanic) tradition, talismans allow us direct access to universal Qi for the purposes of inner cultivation, healing and creating harmonizing FengShui energy. Practicing the Dragon Talisman and its associated Qigong form is an essential method to work with the symbolic power of Long 龍, the Chinese dragon. Long is the legendary and most mystical animal of Chinese culture and it is the most auspicious animal. It represents power, life energy, transformation, communication, connection, freedom, and the universal way. According to Chinese mythology, dragon is the rainmaker, has magic powers that allow it to change natural formations, and can easily fly between heaven and earth. Practicing this form is a way to awaken our own hibernating dragons—ShenQi 神氣 (spiritual energies); calling upon them helps us transform obstacles in the physical, mental, and spiritual levels. In this training, I will share: Classical talisman cultivation and healing principles; Dragon Talisman and its Qigong form for healing and spiritual transformation.
