The answers are inside you
This program will empower you to harness your chi to release the full potential you have within. This program uses the arts, philosophy and knowledge accumulated by many generations of Chinese Masters to directly address the problems of modern western society.
Release the full potential you have within
You will learn to unite the mind, the body and the breath through carefully planned exercise and meditation.
Changing your posture is a way to alter your emotions and self-image. We will teach you to move smoothly with stability and grace and we will do so in such a way that your thinking will follow. Once you learn to move calmly, positively and fluidly, your mind and your emotions will follow.
It's Time...
Tailored Packages
With 1, 2, 4 week and flexible packages available, you can tailor a program to fit your schedule. There’s an old saying in kung fu that when the time is right, the student will find the master. Search and you will find your path. Your time is now.
Take the first step on a transformational journey of self discovery and mastery and release the full potential you have within.
Invest in the rest of your life
SCHEDULE
To see in detail what a day in the Qigong and Meditation for Life Balance Program involves, please take a look at our timetable. It runs five days a week – Wednesdays and Saturdays are rest days and are ideal for exploring our local area.
You can choose to begin and end on whatever days suit you best. We do suggest arriving on one of the rest days – Saturday or Wednesday – so as to settle in and be ready to begin at 6.00AM the next day. For an idea of what you will learn through following this course, check our sample packages.
Tong Ling Chi Kung
6:00 am - 7:00 am
Chi Kung is the practice of charging the body with fresh, balanced Chi, eliminating stale Chi and circulating Chi through all of the meridians and to every cell of the body. The location of the mountain retreat was chosen carefully for the exceptional quality of its Chi. It is thus a perfect place to practice Chi Kung.
Sun Frost White Crane Internal Art
7:00 am - 7:50 am
This is a very relaxed, fluid art which develops suppleness, mobility, calmness and balance. It energizes the tendons and charges the body with ‘Chi’. It massages, cleans and strengthens the internal organs making us healthier and more resistant to disease.
Tea Time Talks
7:50 am - 8:15 am
Meditation Lessons
8:15 am - 9:15 am
- Chi Kung focusing on circulating the body’s Chi microcosmic orbit
- Relaxing the whole body
- Fostering internal awareness
- Improving vitality and life energy
These can be combined with natural or reverse abdominal breathing. 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.
