Cleansing Chi Gong for Winter Rejuvenation

January 2, 2020 @ 5:30 pm - 6:30 pm

|Recurring Event (See all)

An event every week that begins at 5:30 pm on Thursday, repeating until April 30, 2020

Winter lethargy got you down? Cleansing Chi Gong for Winter Rejuvenation may be for you! This beautiful, graceful form is designed to help to circulate Chi (the life force); calm the nervous system; enhance brain function by harmonizing the right/left brain relationship; revitalize the heart, lungs, liver, and other internal organs; and calm anxiety by encouraging us to center ourselves. This practice assists the body in ridding itself of toxins and strengthening the body.

Chi Gong, sometimes called the mother of Tai Chi, is a form of exercise and moving meditation invented thousands of years ago in China to strengthen the body, calm the mind, and encourage the free flow of the life force. Chi Gong may help with depression, mental focus, sense of balance, high blood pressure, sleep disorders, and lack of energy. Properly done, Chi Gong is calming to the nervous system, and is an excellent tool for stress management.

Hello and be well! My name is Michelle Bobier. I have been studying Tai Chi and Chi Gong for 24 years with Master Hongchao Zhang, one of the leading Chinese martial arts masters in America; Master Zhang awarded me a Sixth Duan in Chi Gong in 2015. Additionally, I am a Biodynamic Craniosacral Therapist who completed the 700-hour BCST training at 3rd Coast Craniosacral of Evanston. Additionally, I studied lymphatic work at the School of Inner health in Manitou Springs, Colorado. The three modalities come together in my wellness practice, reSource Wellness, in Wilmette. My mission is to create a space where people can feel a sense of safety, peace, comfort and support; tap into their resources for healing; and achieve deep rest that can lead to profound change. If you would like information about Chi Gong, craniosacral, or lymphatic work, please feel free to visit my website, below.
