Power of the Pause - Shaolin Practice of the Six Harmonies
As largely frenetic beings, we are often pulled towards what comes next or find ourselves caught in the past, resisting to pause in the moment. Within many practices is the concept of harmony. Within the Shaolin tradition is the important concept of ‘Liu He’, the Six Harmonies – mind, energy, essence, feet, body, hands. In this session we will explore the practice and application of the six harmonies in qigong for health, vitality, focus and connection.
