IMAS Chi Gung for Longevity
The IMAS Chi Gung longevity program includes cultivation of the following skills and habits:
1. including tapping, shaking, pumping, coiling, twisting, squatting, stretching, flexing, joint rotations, walking, and spontaneous, playful dance-like releases. Movement ranges from most vigorous to very tranquil.
2. Handwork. One of the distinguishing characteristics of Chi
Gung is the use of the hands, as off-the-body “magnets” to affect and redirect energy flow within and around the body. These self-caressing hand patterns complement the use of sensing and consciousness to cultivate stronger energy.
3. Breath-work. Regaining the innate breathing skills we possessed as small children, correcting the impact of stress-induced shallow breathing and other breath-related health challenges.
4. Posture. IMAS Chi Gung teaches skills for optimizing posture for “stillness” practices, both standing and sitting. These usually involve careful use of sensing and attention to cultivate energy while physically still.
5. Consciousness. IMAS Chi Gung cultivates and refines the skill of awareness and attention to both guide energy and attain deep meditative states.
6. Sensing. Cultivates the skill of feeling and affecting energy flow. As a Chi Gung teacher I can help you cultivate all of these skills. Have a daily Chi Gung program developed for yourself that addresses every aspect of your health—and you have every chance of extending your life, while reducing the impact of the aging process. Your personal Chi Gung program will act to:
* Cleanse you of toxins.
* Elevate and balance hormone levels.
* Accumulate, restore and maintain your energy.
* Build a physically strong, limber, vibrant and resilient body.
* Help you rest and recuperate, to avoid unnecessary depletion.
* Protect you better from disease, whether it is an internal or external threat.
* Restore all your internal organs and systems to optimal functioning.
* Help you master tension and relaxation.
* Balance your emotions—crucial for long-range good health.
* Enhance your ability to meditate and to grow spiritually.
* Build presence and the ability to be truly “in the now”. Finally: longevity is not just about living longer; it’s about living longer and better. IMAS Chi Gung offers a comprehensive methodology for enriching the quality of the life you have succeeded in extending.
