Cloud Hands — Beginning and intermediate levels of practice
Two Swings
Beginning Form.
Thank you for the very clear and helpful instructions. I am brand new to this! —T.W.
QIGONG PRACTICE
1 X per month
Follow along as I show you how to incorporate the lessons from the qigong classes of the month (and relevant previous months) into a short, integrated practice to counter stress and tension, relax and hone your skill set with energy exercises.
I love your detailed and descriptive explanations of how to move and feel, and why. —R.L.
IN-DEPTH TRAINING VIDEOS
Two to three in-depth supporting videos on the Water Method are included each month with topics such as:
Taoist philosophy – the principles which underlie the Water Method for health, healing and high-performance results.
The mechanics of qi and healing – how and why energy-focused exercise (qigong) is one of the most effective and efficient ways to build mind-body trust for health and wellness.
Anatomy – East meets West science which underpins training at all levels.
The 16 neigong – teasing out and weaving together internal power-generating techniques that systematically create health and healing from the inside out.
5 Element theory and practices – understanding, perceiving and embodying the energies that govern your body and indeed the manifest realm in which we live here on Earth.
Internal arts applications for tai chi and bagua practitioners to supercharge your art.
Best practice methods and the circular nature of learning.
“I'm finding these video lessons SO helpful. Even though I've been training with Paul and his teachers at his London school for ten years, it's really come home to me recently how true the circular nature of training is”. — Matt Wales, UK
