Join Liping Zhu in exploring how the time-honored qigong tradition and Zen practice can support a mindful, healthy, and vibrant life.
This workshop integrates the wisdom of qigong with the Zen practice of presence and awareness. Drawing on principles of softness and fluidity—qualities often associated with babyhood and a beginner’s mind—participants will cultivate energy (Qi) to calm the mind, release physical tension, and nourish the body’s joints and tissues.
Over the course of five weeks, participants will develop a sustainable one-hour daily routine that includes:
- Qi Warm-Ups to awaken the body’s energy systems.
- True Qi Circulation Method to harmonize and balance the flow of Qi and blood.
- Six Healing Sounds to cleanse and revitalize the body’s internal organs.
These gentle, flowing exercises foster physical flexibility, improve circulation, and cultivate a sense of presence and ease. By uniting these practices with Zen’s contemplative approach, this workshop provides tools for life preservation and grounded awareness in everyday life.
