A woman’s womb is a place of great mystery and manifestation. From this deep space that Daisy calls “the heart below the horizon,” there is much to explore and understand. 

In this opening week, Daisy will share how, protected in the center of your body, your womb has the potential to carry life, whether it be a child or the birthing of a project you dream into existence. 

Daisy will share a Womb Meditation to help you get to know the energy of your Pelvic Palace. Additionally, she’ll teach a beautiful new movement that’s part of the Radiant Lotus Long Form, called Making Waves in a Quiet Pond.

In this exciting first module, you’ll:

• Learn how honoring the Pelvic Palace creates fertile ground for creative endeavors, not just for childbirth
• Discover how to set up a strong, connected base through your feet and legs so energy from the earth can travel through your body for improved Qi flow
• Build strength and stability in your legs through proper posture and alignment
• Understand how your vertical alignment is still the most foundational (and valuable) understanding in Qigong practice
• Learn when silence is not golden, and when it’s valuable to “make waves”

Much like the yin-yang symbol in Qigong, all of life is a merging of infinite possibilities.

This week, Daisy will share her reflections on how change is inevitable, but growth is optional.

We can choose to stubbornly stay the same within the status quo, or we can venture beyond the familiar. If we choose the latter, we can see what awaits outside our conditioning, or travel inwards to discover new depths of understanding — this is the potential you unlock when you’re able to see beyond the walls of limited perception.

In this module, you’ll:

• Activate the Lao Gong points in the palms to better connect with Qi using the Merging With the Infinite movement
• Open up the joints and sinews of the body through the twisting and turning motions of the trunk, as well as the shoulders, elbows, wrists, and fingers
• Reconnect to the earth force, to nature, and to the cosmos as you marry your energy with the macrocosm around you
• Find yin-yang balance in your lower and upper body
• Strengthen your lower dantian and empower your legs so your upper body can flow effortlessly, bringing purpose to each movement
• Discover the movement practice Merging With the Infinite

Every home needs a good spring cleaning to refresh the energy and welcome in harmony...

This week, Daisy will share how, in a similar way, your body also needs consistent cleansing and clearing so that it functions well and gives you joy.

As with our homes, if we take care of small repairs to our bodies when they’re first needed, we likely won’t have to do major repairs down the road.

The self-care we invest in now will add up to long-term gain, with robust health that can extend well into our wisdom years. Regardless of your age and lifestyle, there’s no time like the present to start spring cleaning the home of your body!

In this module, you’ll:

• Learn to identify inflammation or deficiencies in the body by using the Lao Gong points in your palms to “listen” for imbalances
• Sweep and clear stagnations from your key energy centers with the “energy brush” in your hands
• Rebalance and revitalize your body through the protective Wei Qi field
• Strengthen your legs by learning to root to the earth through the triangle of your body
• Explore the Sweeping the Dantians movement

Much like the ancient art of Feng Shui in a home, proper placement is also needed in the body to build healthy Qi flow.

This week, Daisy will share how movement can be stiff or stilted when posture is incorrect, yet it may just take a minor shift in position — or perception — for the blocked area to become clearer with increased Qi flow.

You’ll learn to support your practice by identifying where the Qi is (or is not) flowing. You’ll explore how to ease around areas of tension, yet build and consolidate energy at the core. This fine balancing act is part of Qigong cultivation.

We are always learning to adapt to changing circumstances, build on our strengths, and let go of mental clutter so that our bodily home becomes a place of refuge.

In this module, you’ll:

• Build strength from the ground up, consolidating energy in the lower dantian — the power center that, for women, is located behind the womb
• Strengthen the protective Wei Qi field around your body for improved resistance to disease
• Enhance spinal and neck health as you age
• Bring energy to the spleen and liver channels — which are vital for women\'s health because of the role they play in processing what comes into the body... whether it’s food, drink, supplements, medications, pathogens, or emotions
• Move through the Playing With the Wuji Ball practice
• Explore a new movement practice, Whirling the Wuji Wheel

As you reach the middle of the program, you may experience more noticeable changes with daily practice…

Because the middle dantian is considered one that’s most important for women, Daisy will help you focus on bringing harmonious balance to this center.

When the heart center is stable, uncomfortable emotions fall away, and clarity rises to the surface, changing how you interface with your family and community — and evolving how you see yourself.

You can then truly lead from your heart without getting attached to drama.

In this module, you’ll:

• Explore how energizing the breasts brings fresh Qi to the middle dantian and replenishes the emotional center
• Recognize when you’re overextended and learn to recharge without apologizing
• Experience how the womb is the seat of women’s creation center, and a powerful aspect of the female body, especially when given loving self-care
• Practice a movement called Rebirthing Creation Qi that redefines the birthing process as one of rebirth of the self, as women’s wombs are not only procreative centers, but astonishing, mysterious vessels of vital life force
• Activate the hormones and life force through the breasts
• Move through the Energizing the Breasts practice

What’s in a shape?

This week, Daisy will explain how, in the Chinese understanding, straight, direct lines are considered yang, while circles and spheres are yin. One may appear to go to the heart of a situation faster, yet the less direct approach may be more persuasive and less daunting, helping people become more receptive as they get accustomed to a new way of thinking.

In general, the male nature is yang and action-oriented while female nature is yin, nurturing and receptive. If there’s a problem, the yin approach is to go around it like water around a rock — the yang approach, meanwhile, is to break the rock and tunnel through it.

Of course, we have within each of us both yin and yang, though our personality will reveal our propensities. When we understand the sacred geometry within our female form, we learn how to best work with circles and spheres to create easier flow and less tension.

In this module, you’ll:

• Focus on circular movements to bring warmth and softness to areas that are depleted or needing attention
• Learn how to circulate essence, stirring the Qi within the lower dantian, and also bringing vitality to the face, neck, and head with a Qi facial
• Explore how moving in circles and spheres brings gentleness to intense situations
• Discover movements that promote mobility in the hips and spine
• Increase circulation and radiance to the face, neck, and eyes
• Move through a new practice, Stimulating the 100 Channels

We need both stability and inspiration in order to take flight. Without something stable to push off from, we cannot fly, and without hopes and dreams to aspire to, we are devoid of inspiration.

When there is harmonious balance inside and outside, above and below, we can move effortlessly and communicate easily. Nature provides the inspiration… it is up to us to become attuned to it.

In this module, you’ll:

• Reconnect to nature — the macrocosm of the Earth, Sky, and Human Being combines with the microcosm so that we can become more human(e)
• Restore vertical alignment with neutral compassion so you can emerge as a stable lead energy
• Balance strong emotions such as sadness or anxiety so your body and mind can return to equilibrium
• Empower and strengthen your legs
• Support lung and heart health
• Discover 2 new movements — Merging the 3 Hearts and The Phoenix Takes Flight

Throughout Asia, the lotus flower is a symbol of strength and resilience.

Growing in muddy, stagnant waters, it’s compelled to rise through the darkness and into the light to grow a giant pristine blossom on top of the water.

This week, Daisy will share how the lotus is a reminder that you, too, can overcome the deepest challenges — and rise to meet your potential with a little patience and perseverance.

Whether your beginnings were easeful or challenging, you have the opportunity to adapt and blossom into your greatest potential…

In this module, you’ll:

• Learn to create a strong, stable inner foundation
• Explore how to use the Lotus Rises movement to manage anger, grief, anxiety, or shame that may still be hidden in your body
• Explore the power of letting go and accepting what is — using movement as medicine to create a new blueprint for growth and lasting change
• Explore the Lotus Rises Through the Muddy Water movement

Some miracles can take nine months to unfold. Some others, nine weeks. But who says miracles can’t happen in 90 minutes?

In this final module, Daisy will explain how the power and miracle of creation applies to everything you’re inspired to bring into existence — and it’s not limited to the beauty of birthing a child.

Birth and rebirth are part of a continuum — punctuated by transformation.

We are often afraid of the unspoken and unseen. Our fantastical minds create visions of pain in childbirth or feelings of anxiety or fear over the unknown before anything happens. We can make assumptions of worst possible outcomes to safeguard against disappointment or sadness, creating unnecessary anxiety.

And yet, just as easily, we could be in awe of the untapped potential that lies within our incredible female form to manifest health, peace, joy, contentment, and self-love on a level not previously experienced before.

In this final week, you’ll practice the full Radiant Lotus Long Form, bringing new understanding and grace to the life you’ve lived and the life you are yet to experience.

This act of revisioning your life and giving birth to the person you know you can be is the first step on a journey to living a rich, radiant life, unfettered by self-limiting thoughts and beliefs.

You’re more than enough, and you’re here to experience the full spectrum of potential in your body until your last breath!

In this final module, you’ll:

• Feel the integrated flow of the movements as a continuous whole
• Relax deeper into the practice, exploring the timing of your breath with each movement
• Let go of self-judgement and being “perfect” — simply do your best and know that you now have a document to refer to any time you want to practice
• Explore the wisdom contained in the movements, which will continue to unfold each time you practice
• Appreciate how far you have come — take in the beauty, the vista from a bird’s-eye view, of this outstanding accomplishment of completing an integrated healing process through movement and breath
• Cultivate more confidence in your ability to manifest your dreams and goals
• Review your full Radiant Lotus Long Form
