Cultivate self-love during this special Qigong event, where you’ll open your chest and the fire meridians through a practice that includes guided breathwork and self-massage to connect to the shen — your heart, the home of your spirit.
The heart is a miraculous organ — contracting and relaxing one hundred thousand times per day, at the precise rhythm to sustain your life.
Energetically, the heart is the home of your spirit, called shen in Chinese, says celebrated Qigong teacher Marisa Cranfill, creator of YOQI® (Yoga + Qigong).
Your heart is also the bridge between your body and your mind — and when all three parts are connected, you feel whole and balanced as your consciousness expands. Your calm energy expresses itself through laughter, joy, and love...
Unfortunately, the stressful realities of modern life make it easier than ever for the shen to be out of balance. When the mind, body, and heart are not connected, you may experience strained relationships, depression, chronic dis-ease, isolation — and an unmet longing for the spiritual growth and evolution you know you’re meant for.
Thankfully, with a regular Qigong practice, you can cultivate your energy in infinite ways — integrating all three parts of your energy system so you feel balanced and whole, says Marisa.
As you move with relaxed intention and take slow breaths during your Qigong practice, you cultivate shen to regulate your nervous system. Over time this rearranges your energy field, repatterning your nervous system to move into a parasympathetic state of healing — and into a state of joyful balance.
Take the first step on this journey when you join Marisa in an exploration of the Heart of Qigong. You’ll explore how your shen impacts your mental health and emotions, your nervous system, and evolution and spiritual transformation.
Marisa will guide you through a powerful seated practice called “The Sea of Tranquility,” where you’ll open your chest and the fire meridians that connect to the shen — to tap into your heart’s energy and cultivate self-love. This calming practice features breathwork and a self-massage of your body’s tranquility point, CV17.
As Marisa will explain, each one of us is connected to the love of the Universe. We’re always loved and never alone. A focused, intentional Qigong practice can help you remember that everything you need for a balanced, joyful life full of love is already within you...
You only need to learn to tune into this deep inner knowing and higher power of understanding — and Marisa will show you how your Qigong practice is the path to lead you there.
