Hunyuan Taiji is a comprehensive system of taiji and qigong practice with the outer form of Chen Style Taiji and the inner practice of Taoist internal cultivation. All of the methods are compatible and mutually integrated. While it can be daunting for a beginning student to enter a class for the first time, this talk will present the context and foundation for successful and efficacious practice. It is excellent preparation for participation in other TSI classes. There will be time for questions.
Qigong Foundations Class
Fang Song Gong – Releasing into Suppleness Gong
8 weeks
Mondays 9:00 - 10:30 AM
March 8 - April 29
Instructor: Zhi Cheng (Harrison Moretz)
Qigong Foundations classes present a systematic exploration of qigong. In this series, each class will look at details of individual movements from Fang Song Gong set. Attaining a state of Soft-Supple is a fundamental goal of practice. Releasing into Suppleness Gong is a set of relatively simple movements which with proper practice produce profound effects. As a beginning practice it develops good habits. For the more advanced practitioner it opens greater depths of cultivation. This class is an ideal starting place for new students as well as an opportunity for those with more experience to refine and deepen understanding.

Taoist Psychology 7
Sunday, March 14th
9:00am - 3:00pm
Instructor: Zhi Cheng (Harrison Moretz)
Taoist psychology employs terminology and maps from Taoist, Buddhist, and Confucian cultivation, as well as Chinese medicine. This series is a systematic exploration of the underlying patterns of Consciousness and Qi, their expression in mental-emotional states, and their interaction in interpersonal relationships. Most importantly Taoist psychology lays out methods to harmonize and transcend these patterns as an integral part of Taoist spiritual cultivation.

The Hunyuan Taiji system is a rich and profound system of practice. The physical movement is the outer form-expression. The internal practice is the essential content. Understanding the principles allows one to successfully cultivate both the inner and outer aspects of the art. In this series we will systematically explore the principles and present practical methods through which to apply them.
