WHAT:  無極氣功 Wuji  Primordial  Qìgōng with Dr. Kathy Yep  5-week session

無極氣功 Wuji  Primordial  Qìgōng was taught to me by the late Dr. Bingkun Hu. I learned the strand developed by Zhang Sanfeng over 800 years ago. There are many variations depending on who is teaching and how it was passed down.   I learned a Daoist Set that involves a set of moves involving standing and turning, circles and spirals,  and two main sections related to earth and heaven respectively. .

Thank you for today’s online practice with Liz, Jasmine, and Debbie. Gratitude for yesterday’s practice with Dana, Molly, Joanne, and about 100 people in person at the Huntington Library.

Due to a schedule change, our next online practice will be Tuesday. May 19.

Today we set intentions for the practice. We practice for ourselves and all beings. I heard intentions like spaciousness, slowness, moving from the center, acceptance, genuine security, letting in and out.

What are your intentions for yourself and all beings?

Thank you for today’s online practice with Pati, Debbie, Simone, Jasmine and Aila (sp?), Liz and Wiley, and Simone and the 2 ducks.

Today we practiced circular warm ups to open up the joint spaces and then we practiced a portion of primordial qi gong set that I learned from the late Dr. Hu. Primordial points to emptiness and nothingness. It also connects to what is being and becoming and the unfolding world of form and materiality. Today we practiced what I have been affectionately calling the donut section. We will practice this all week.

Insights about noticing, accompaniment, and transformation came out of the shares/storytelling/reflections. This is my recollection and take it with a grain of salt because brain and body are tired.

I heard that some were able to be still and notice what was happening to remember, to reconnect and see what was unfolding like 2 ducks were accompanying and releasing vs. fighting. I also heard that others were able to feel they were practicing with others and this was the doorway to connect self as one current and then the self in relation to others as another current. I also learned that people were able to see and experience their roles movements and roles differently.

Practice schedule: Tuesday 4/14, Thursday 4/16 then next one will be Tuesday 4/21

Changes for the online schedule — no practice Sunday April 19.

Gratitude for our practice together.
