The Importance of Self-Care
With increasing demands in everyday life, self-care is more important than ever. Self-care helps us to meet life's challenges and to appreciate the gifts of good living.

What does it mean to live a healthy and peaceful life? It means having a relaxed body, a peaceful mind and a balanced life.

The Three Pillars of Self-Care are Qigong, Meditation, & Lifestyle

Qigong - Cultivating the body:
Participants will begin by learning six classic qigong techniques that relax the body and two postures of standing qigong that gather internal energy. We'll continue by learning how to guide energy through the body using the Nine Self-Massage and the Twelve Devas Tendon Changing System - the most effective form of qigong used in repairing physical injuries and enhancing muscular-skeletal strength.

Taoist Meditation - working with the mind:
We will learn and practice several Taoist meditation techniques with emphasis on becoming familiar with the workings of the mind and using internal observation to cultivate a peaceful and intelligent consciousness.

Lifestyle - balancing your life:
We'll discuss Taoist guidelines for balancing lifestyle - exploring the energetic imacts of the public, domestic, private and spiritual aspects of our life.
