Wudang Primordial Qigong

In October we will introduce you to Wudang Hun Yuan (Primordial) Qigong developed by Zhang San-Feng, a very advanced alchemist and Wudang high priest. The movements are based on the tradition of Internal Alchemy of harmonizing the five elements and transmuting of the Three Treasures: Jing (essence), Qi (vital energy), and Shen (spirit). This practice emphasizes the cultivation of Qi at the three Dan Tian, and the circulation of refined Qi along the 8 extraordinary meridians. It helps the practitioners to achieve optimal health and longevity through returning to "Wu Ji", a state of deep stillness where being and non-being are no longer differentiated, a true Primordial State.
