SUMMARY:Restorative Sleep with Chi Gong
DESCRIPTION:Restorative Sleep with Chi Gong\nThursdays\, 5:30-6:30 pm\, September 22 through November 10; first four sessions in the Classroom\, last four sessions in the Skylight room \nChi Gong\, sometimes called the mother of Tai Chi\, is a form of exercise and moving meditation invented in China thousands of years ago to strengthen the body\, calm the mind\, and encourage the free flow of chi (the life force). Chi Gong may help with high blood pressure\, sense of balance\, depression\, mental focus\, stress management\, lack of energy\, and sleep problems. In fact\, because of its ability to relax the body\, calm the mind\, and encourage the flow of chi\, practitioners of Chinese medicine have used Chi Gong (along with acupuncture and herbology) to address insomnia for hundreds of years. \nRestorative Sleep Chi Gong falls into this ancient tradition. This form\, developed with the guidance of Grandmaster Hongchao Zhang of Chicago’s Chinese Gong-Fu Institute\, focuses on simple\, powerful\, purposeful movements that emphasize deep\, gentle breathing\, slow\, repeated motions of the body\, and movement of chi from the head (where many of us get stuck with anxiety\, repetitive thoughts\, or mental busyness that interferes with relaxation) through the body and out the soles of the feet. This encourages a feeling of groundedness that promotes relaxation and improved sleep. \nThe form is simple enough to enable students of all ages and skill levels to follow along from the very beginning\, and is easy to memorize. My goal is to enable students to learn the form quickly\, reinforce it through repetition\, and leave the eight-week course able to do Restorative Sleep Chi Gong effectively at home\, resulting in better quality sleep. \nInstructor: Michelle Bobier\, BCST\, Chi Gong 6th duan \nCost: $144 for the eight weeks\, payable up front; $20 per session for drop-ins \nThe Heartwood Center\, 1818 Dempster St.\, Evanston IL 60201 \nTo register: Michelle at michellebobier@me.com or 773-991-4357 \nWebsite: http://resourcewellnessllc.com \n[display-posts post_type=”practitioners” include_content=”true” display-posts wrapper=”div” image_size=”full” id=”12893″ order=”ASC” orderby=”name”]
