Tai Chi & Qigong Classes at Winter Park Hosital Rehab Center

Here is a 20 minute class I taught at Florida Hospital’s Rehab Center, back in 2013. The focus was to show Parkinson’s patients methods to counter some of their side effects. However, these types of exercises can benefit anyone as the overall theme is regulated breathing (balances the emotions & blood chemistry), increased range of motion (stretches the fascial trains), self-awareness and many other wellness issues.

No need to wait until you have chronic or other health issues to learn this time-proven ancient health care program. No adult is too young, nor too old to benefit.

Opening the Small Circulation (Microcosmic Orbit)

The Small Circulation, Small Circle, or the Microcosmic Orbit, is the practice of circulating one’s internal energy (Qi or chi), within the human body. The illustration below represents the awareness of energy flow throughout the Governing and Conception meridians; in this case, the fire path. These meridians are located on the center line of the body and in turn govern and regulate the other meridians. This practice has been considered to be the foundation of Internal Qigong.  It was a fundamental step on the path of meditation training in ancient times. Over time, this practice has gradually been lost from many meditation traditions, and its importance diminished. Though meditation is popular today for relaxation, stress relief and general health, the ultimate goal for some people, is spiritual awareness and enlightenment. Small Circulation Meditation transform the body from weak to strong while training the mind to be calm and focused.
