DFCI Zakim Center
Qigong, Tai Chi & Meditation with Ramel Rones (Jan 28, 2022)
16 Mar, 2022Integrating the Five Building Blocks of Our Being for better Health and Martial Arts
While in each posture or movement, we will emphasize all five building blocks of our being (Body, Breath, Mind, Energy and Spirit) to help loosen up the soft tissues and massage the joints, and the lower and upper back. Integrating all five building blocks into your practice leads to deep levels of relaxation or meditation which increases the flow of blood and oxygen throughout the entire body and nourishes every cell in your body.
Deep levels of relaxation or meditation with the five building blocks recharges you, giving you more energy. You may even achieve production of the “happy hormones” (Serotonin, Dopamine, Oxytocin) or Endorphins which promote positive feelings and happiness and prevent the production of negative hormones such as Adrenaline, Cortisol or Norepinephrine.
Some of what we will learn and practice in this 45 minute class: The Windmill, The Hula-Bula, Emperor/ Empress with the five Building Blocks, Crane Flies, Acupuncture in Motion, The Tree Meditation, Cleansing Massage, Physical and Mental Trauma Dissolving, Stretch the Bow and Release the Arrow
· Outer Hip Stretch
Most exercises, in this class, can be practiced sitting, standing, or lying down.
