The Importance of Self-Care

In the modern world where demands are ever-increasing, self-care is more important than ever. Self-care allows us to meet the challenges of life with ease, to appreciate the simplicity of good living, and to experience the gifts of health and well-being.

How do we achieve this? By understanding and practicing self-care with awareness and gentleness.

The Three Pillars of Self-Care: Qigong, Meditation, & Lifestyle

From the Taoist view, qigong, meditation, and lifestyle are the Three Pillars of Self-Care. When the body is relaxed and at ease, qi – internal energy – will flow naturally. When the mind is quiet, it will embrace qi and strengthen the body. When we live simply and in harmony with nature, both physical health and mental clarity arise.

The 7-Day Bundled Retreat offers you:  

• foundational qigong techniques for relaxation
• standing qigong techniques for gathering internal energy
• a self-massage system for guiding internal energy through the body
• forms for tendon changing and physical transformation
• Taoist meditation techniques for working with consciousness
• practical exercises for examining and rebalancing our lifestyle
• Hua Tu Five Animals Qigong for physical and energetic health
• breath regulation techniques to work on specific health needs
• a unique evening practice for strengthening bones and increasing bone marrow density

Whether you wish to begin your journey toward better physical and mental health, revisit the teachings of Qigong Levels 1-2 or 3, or dive deeper into an enriched environment where qigong, meditation, and lifestyle teachings intertwine, this program is for you.

The Qigong of Xiantianwujimen Taoism (Limitlessgate)

Xiantianwujimen is a Taoist lineage founded by Chen Xiyi in 10th century China. “Xiantian” means primordial, “wuji” means limitless, and “men” means gate. The translated name of the lineage is Primordial Limitless Gate.

This lineage specializes in using qigong to simultaneously cultivate and transform body and mind. A hermit and household tradition, Xiantianwujimen has been transmitted uninterrupted for over a thousand years. Qigong techniques favored by this lineage include self-massage, tendon-changing, calisthenics, marrow washing, and breath regulation.
