Happy Dragon and Dancing Phoenix Qi Gong
Happy Dragon and Dancing Phoenix Qi Gong – quite possibly the simplist most effective Qi Gong. Sally’s teacher was the late Qi Gong Master Sam Qian of China Guo-Lin New Qi Gong Research Society, Beijing.
Consists of two exercises whose combined benefits include: tone & shape waist, hips and thighs; strengthen muscles of back, abdomen, neck, shoulders, arms and legs; stimulates internal organs and improves digestive processes; benefits spine, nervous system and meridian system; calms the mind; harmonises energy flow; improves overall wellbeing as it stimulates the endocrine system [the hormonal system] and increases circulation; improves skin tone; benefits respiration and lung function; regulates weight and improves physique.
This workshop is also part of the Taoist Tantric Workshop for couples [see below].
This is taught either in weekly classes or over a two day workshop.
Longevity Qi Gong – Ba Duan Jin [Taoist Wu Dang Shan version]
Sally’s teacher, Qi Gong Master Yuan Xie Guan, Taoist Monk from Wudang Shan, Hu Bei Province.
Consists of 8 different movements, each having an effect on one or more of the 12 major meridians within the body. This in turn improves the functioning of all major organs, supplying oxygen rich blood to all parts of the body. This helps to eliminate toxins, improve skin tone and gives a glow of health and well being. Longevity Qi Gong also relaxes tendons and improves joint mobility, stretches and lengthens muscles, thus helping improve posture and functionality of joints.
This is taught either in weekly classes or over a weekend workshop.
Fragrant Heart Qi Gong
Sally has had several teachers of this style in China and John Dolic in Australia.
The only Qi Gong I have learned that specifically feeds the Middle Dan Tien or Heart Centre [as opposed to the Lower Dan Tien which all other Qi Gong's energetically feed]. This consists of a sequence of 15 movements of the arms only. It is easy to learn, requires no particular concentration and really helps with clearing upper body energy stagnation, ie stiff shoulders or neck.
This is taught in a three hour session or often included as a warm up when teaching other forms of Qi Gong.
Body Mind Harmonics – Emotional Energy Exercises
Sally has created this series based on teachings from Dr Chen and Mantak Chia’s Healing Sounds Qi Gong.
A series of six exercises [Gongs] combining movement, breath, sound, colour and visualisation; each Gong aligns with a specific Organ and Meridian in the Qi network; each of these in turn have their own emotional expression when in balance as well as out of balance. The nature of this series of Qi Gong is to rebalance your Emotional Qi so that your system naturally expresses positive, balanced emotions, rather than negative, unbalanced emotions. Emotions are natural and normal and it is normal to feel certain “negative” emotions at times, however, if those emotions begin to run your life and you think that is just who you are, be aware that it is possible to reclaim balance and harmony and to maintain it by learning how to harmonise your mind, body and Qi.
This is taught in a one day workshop.
Shi Ba Shi – 18 Movement Tai Ji Qi Gong
Sally’s teacher is Master Zhang Hao, she also learned this style from Pamella Anthony and Simon Blow.
A fluid and flowing form of healing Qi Gong which resembles Tai Ji Quan. It has the effect of harmonising body and mind, promotes a letting-go or freeing of the spirit and helps to restore vitality. The movements are graceful and allow your body to flow freely helping to restore vitality, strengthen the body’s protecting energy [immunity] and calm the mind.
Taught through weekly classes – can be taught as a half day workshop,
Healing Qi Gong
Sally’s teachers, Dr Chen Hong Lin, B. K. Frantzis, Mantak Chia.
While all forms of Qi Gong have some sort of healing benefits, this Qi Gong is specifically for healers to increase their own ability to transmit Qi while performing their particular healing skill. It consists of 4 primary exercises which help to clear the meridians [Qi pathways] of the arms, opening their connection to the Heart Centre; intensify the quality and flow of Qi to the hands; and ground the Qi so the practitioner is neither drained nor left with any residual toxic or sick Qi from their patient.
Sally usually teaches these as part of a Meridan Massage training; it can also be taught and used independently and is especially good for massage therapists, acupuncturists, energy healers and anyone who is interested in improving the function of their own energetic system.
Taoist Tantric Qi Gong – Harmonising the Divine Feminine and the Divine Masculine within
Sally’s teachers include Matak Chia and Dr Stephen Chen, however, much has been learned intuitively as she connected with and developed her own feminine side in her travels through several realtionships and her need to find ways to create and maintain harmony as well as great sex for herself and her partners.
This is Qi Gong for couples to improve their love making and bring harmony into their relationship, as well as taking the relationship to another more spiritual level.
This consists of the Happy Dragon and Dancing Phoenix Qi Gong exercises, as described above and several other more meditational Qi Gongs, such as The Deer, to tap into the core energy of the body and connecting the Sexual Energy Centre with the Spiritual Energy Centre – the alchemical sacred marriage of Divine Feminine with Divine Masculine Energy. As part of this course Sally also teaches The Five Tibetan Rites to accelerate and charge the Chakras.
This is taught either over 4 x 2 hour weekly classes or 2 x 4 hour classes, usually over a weekend.
