Directing Energy Through The Body…

This next Sensing Qi series turns our attention toward how qi moves through the body guided by the mind, and what the body reveals when the Advisors are leading or when Essence is peacefully at the center.

We’ll again use the first arm movements of Guang Ping Yang Taijiquan as our framework, not to perfect form, but to sense what animates the movements beneath the surface.

You’ll explore how the mind can invite qi upward or downward, how direction shifts sensation, and how air itself can feel dense, soft, resistant, or surprisingly light.

 

Each class invites you to experience how qi changes when intention changes—and how much less effort is needed when the mind becomes a gentle guide rather than a commander.

 

What We'll Explore.

 

Across four weeks, we’ll look at different directions and qualities of qi through the arms—how it rises, falls, moves forward, gathers inward, expands outward, and curves through space.

You’ll learn to sense:

how movement feels when the air seems to thicken,

how it shifts when the body softens and allows space,

and what happens when you move as though something greater than muscle is doing the lifting.

Rather than “doing” the movements, you’ll explore how they feel when qi—not effort—leads the way.

 

Who this is for

This series is for anyone drawn to the inner world of practice—those who sense there’s more to movement than mechanics, more to qi than concept, and more to themselves than thought or emotion alone.

If you enjoy discovery, subtle magic, and the kind of learning that arrives through the body first, you’ll feel right at home.

What You’ll Gain

  • A stronger felt sense of qi in motion

  • A better understanding of how intention subtly guides the body

  • A clearer relationship with the Three Advisors and how they interpret movement

  • More ease in your taiji or qigong practice, as the body begins to rely on energetic pathways rather than tension

  • A deeper tether to Essence as the quiet conductor beneath all physical experience

A grounded understanding of qi as both energy and experience 

  • Sense energy within the body through meditation, acupressure, and movement practices

  • Insight into how thoughts and emotions influence the physical flow and vitality of qi

  • Explore the magic of the subtle body, and its deep connection to the material body

  • Practices to harmonize the “Three Advisors”: mental, emotional, and physical awareness
