Qigong & Tai Chi Tree Meditation (Jun 18, 2020)

2 Sep, 2021



Learn and practice the Tree Meditation which is used in both Chi Kung (Qigong) and Tai Chi practices to improve both health and martial arts. You can practice this meditation sitting or standing either near “your” tree or with your back against “your” tree.

The Tree Meditation physically engages the Up and Down Forces, which strengthens your core while the deep breathing increases oxygen intake and nourishes every cell in your body. Quieting the mind can help reduce physical and mental stress, calm anxiety, improve mood, and help you fall asleep faster. This meditation is a great opportunity for experiencing and connecting with the forces and the spirit of nature all around us which will evoke your spirit. Evoking your spirit is a powerful and important technique for better health and preventing sickness.
