Exploring Energetic Terrain

As it is externally, so it is internally. The physical terrain of the external world parallels the energetic terrain of the body.

In working with physical terrain, Sunzi’s Art of War is unparalleled in describing geographical features and the strategies to maneuver through them. In understanding the energetic terrain of the body, Taoist internal alchemy offers powerful approaches to identifying energy centers and pathways as well as techniques that allow energy to move smoothly and peacefully.

In this program, we will use Sunzi’s system of terrain classification in conjunction with qigong to explore our internal universe. This unique program integrates the wisdom of Sunzi’s Art of War with qigong and a healthy lifestyle.
