Hi everyone!
We have full house here in Minnesota for the fifth Learning Strategies Spring Forest Qigong Retreat. Wish you were here. It is a phenomenal experience.
The energy is very strong, and Chunyi recommends that you connect with it during your practice this week. At the beginning of your meditation or practice session simply make the intention to connect in with the energy of the retreat. You might even imagine that you are here with us. See how you notice the difference. We’re doing meditation early every morning, at noon, before dinner, and after dinner, but you can tune in any time. (Right now Chunyi is demonstrating us special techniques for helping people heal from level 2—I’m sitting in the back of the room. He's howing how to help remove headaches.)
Yesterday morning Chunyi talked about chronic pain and how it is so often associated with inflamed or long held emotions. He said you can release these emotions by practicing forgiveness of yourself, everyone you interact with, and every situation.
He said lower back pain often involves emotions surrounding relationships. The left side is associated male energy, and the right side female energy. Forgiveness helps clear the information, which heals the area.
Shoulder pain often relates to not receiving the support you want or need from others. Again, forgiveness is key. And forgive everything. He says it is not about forgetting about the past; just don’t focus on it. Open your heart and forgive. You have nothing to lose and everything to gain. Forgive with your full heart and soul. Let go. Surrender.
Chunyi says that whenever pain shows up in these areas of his body, he examines his life, opens his heart with forgiveness, brings light and heat to the area, and everything feels good.
Try it!
Pete
