An online course, starting Monday October 20th 5pm to 6:15pm
In this course we explore how the internal elements of the body may be successively “differentiated” at increasing levels of refinement in both standing practice and the t’ai chi form.
The process begins with the fundamental process of internal differentiation "Song" (松), which is the first of ten initial levels. At the second level we “differentiate the core” and the third the ‘central channel’. At each level of differentiation, our awareness rests between the elements of separation, observing from stillness the processes of change which are naturally initiated and evolve. The practice of resting our awareness in this way we term “Cultivating the Valley Spirit” and these are the “Engines of Refinement”.
In Daoist cosmology, ‘Wuji’ is the primordial undifferentiated state, the source of infinite potential, and the ‘Valley Spirit’ provides the imagery and guidance to help us understand how our ‘Shen’, expressing as luminous somatic awareness, can reside naturally in the stillness between the dynamic differentiation of Wuji into yin and yang.
Many 'advanced' neigong experiences and achievements develop naturally through this approach.
