The Tiger is the symbol of vital energy and Zheng Qi (Righteous Qi) in
traditional Chinese culture. It is the spiritual animal of the Western
Direction and
is related to the Queen Mother of the West (Xi Wang Mu). (To this day,
some people hang
the image of the Tiger in their homes to protect the family.) From a classical
Chinese medicine perspective, one will never get sick if one can maintain
Zheng Qi in the body. Physically, Zheng Qi is represented most strongly
by the lung,
which prevents evil Qi from invading the body. Evil Qi includes all factors
(i.e. emotions, food, weather, trauma, etc) that may cause illness. This
relationship
between Zheng Qi and the Tiger explains why the spiritual animal associated
with the lung is the Tiger.
The Tiger form is based on the symbolic power.
The essence of Chinese Shamanism, it has both medical and martial arts
implications. The Tiger form movements
imitate the actions of the tiger and increase the harmonizing Qi of the
whole body by
strengthening the lung Qi , which governs and energizes all meridians
of the body. Through regular practice, the Tiger form will tonify
one's Zheng
Qi, thereby
releasing and protecting the body from evil Qi.
The entire workshop will be conducted in the tradition of special shamanic
Qigong in which a lineage-based Qi field is created and held to give
participants an
enhanced experience of Qigong.
This workshop will help students learn:
• Fundamentals of Qigong healing philosophy
• Symbolic meaning of tiger
• Chinese shamanic Tiger Qigong form
• How to harness and control their own internal Qi Shamanic spiritual cultivation
