Currently I am taking a class on Soaring Crane Qi Gong with Peggy Li. A wonderful instructor fluent in the practice and the theory. Wonderful to practice in a group situation where I can be a student again. A group of people practicing Qi Gong always generatesa stronger energy field.

Finding myself struggling at times to take in the material. This past Tuesday as our Five Animal Play Qi Gong class begun, I was able to remind myself of my recent experiences and extend a bit more good will to those students new to the practice.

Offering them the notion of suspending their disbelief. Experiment & work with the movements, your breath and experience what is possible. Practice again and again and note the changes. Better to practice 10 minutes a day every day, than 2 hours once a week.

I’m grateful for all of my teachers and the practices they have offered to me that have changed our lives. One breath at a time. Your health, your energy is in your hands. Your health is in the choices you make, the habits you break. Tasting the energy of the Universe with gratitude, patience and wonder ... one moment at a time.
