"It is better to conquer yourself than to win a thousand battles. Then the victory is yours. It cannot be taken from you, not by angels or by demons, heaven or hell"

Meditation
We teach a number of meditation exercises which support our training, calm our minds, relax our bodies, circulate our Chi, enhance our awareness and accelerate our spiritual development.
Meditation forms an intrinsic part of our training program. Generally, we teach how to perform simple, safe meditations and then encourage students to practice them in their own time, quietly and comfortably. On nights of the full moon, we practice a special meditation together at midnight, directly under the full moon.
Meditations we teach:
- The meditations which we teach include
- Circulating the microcosmic orbit
- Filling the body’s energy reservoirs (tan tiens)
- Stilling the mind (concentration meditation)
- Awareness meditation
- Self-healing meditation
- Full Moon Meditations
Full moon meditations take advantage of the pure Yin energy which emanates from the moon at midnight (the most Yin hour) when it is full (the moon’s most Yin phase). These special meditations give us an amazing charge but are best practised under supervision, at least to start with! The complement to the full moon meditations is the practice of Chi Kung just at sunrise on the day of the new moon, taking advantage of yang energy.
