QIGONG MIND/BODY TEACHINGS – LEVEL 1

Qigong Mind/Body Teachings:
Level 1- Mind/Body Awareness

A unique system of mind/body awareness integration based on an ancient Eastern meditation practice called qigong, which has its roots in Taoist and Buddhist contemplative practices.

Hana’s teachings espose the concept that everything in the universe is animated by energy, known in the East as qi or prana, and at its subtlest, highest level it is called the cosmic Consciousness (the Tao, sunyata). Humans are seen as the Consciousness expressing itself through physical form.

Through a highly experiential practice, students gain deeper awareness of their own energy and the relationship of the Consciousness with their physical body, integrated the two seemingly separate aspects of themselves into a whole – as inner transformation that empowers them to express their full potential as human beings.

Students start with simple exercises Hana calls “movements with intent” that incorporate breath, gentle movement, and visualization, before easing into guided sitting meditations.

Through regular practice students gain a calm, joyous mind, increased mental focus, improved ability to handle stress, and increased stamina and flexibility, both physical and mental.
