Eight Treasures Qi Gong

Instructor: Alannah Fitzgerald

This course is a continuation of the prevoius 10 week course. We will be working on sections of The Eight Treasures after the first sections. New people are welcome to join at the current pace and continue through as we will circle through the entire form. Somewhat like a Merry Go Round, one can join at any point and leave at any point. All classes will be recorded for the students study. The pace of the classes are adjusted to the pace of the students.

This Energy conducting exercise originated from the Eight Immortals during the Han Dynasty and was passed down through many generations of the Ni Family. The practice is well refined and it's effects are deep and far-reaching. It is an effective way to lengthen your years and can be practiced by anyone at any level of fitness. It is based on the natural motion of the heavenly bodies. It integrates the body with the mind and spirit.

May 30 - August 1, 2026 Saturdays (7 AM )

The most important meditation technique is being centered without falling asleep. It is not mantra. It is not a sutra. It is not visualization. It is just to awaken. You keep the sense of awakening within; that is the best centering. In the Tao Teh Ching, that is called the mystical castle or the mystical point.
