Taoist Dream Practice

Santa Fe: December 22, 2008, 6 — 9pm

Each night as we fall asleep the focus of our consciousness gradually shifts from the dense frequencies of the physical dimension towards the high frequencies of the subtle bodies.  This process we all experience on a daily basis opens a gate toward infinite possibilities.  The ancient Taoist practitioner learned to utilize dream state as a training ground for learning to focus will and intention.

The practices introduced in this class go beyond dream interpretation or lucid dreaming, aiming at enhancing self-awareness and clarity within dream state as well as learning how to sleep more efficiently.  A key element in this course is learning how to empower the intention and how to project it at the right time to help us realize our goals.

Everything that is learned in the dream yogas applies toward the process of transcendence at the moment of death.  The skills developed through the dream practices are an essential step for realizing our full human potential and living a life free from insecurity and fear.

Caryn Boyd Diel, founder of White Cloud Institute, will introduce students to a variety of exercises focused on Healing from illness and boosting health to a new level.

$75 for each class. We accept cash, checks and credit cards.

Two Workshops in One Day
Traditional Tai Chi: Form, Principles and Application
and Women Warriors: The Art of Tai Chi Chuan and Self Defense

Santa Fe: December 6, 2008

Traditional Tai Chi
In this workshop, we will learn beginning and foundational postures of Cheng Man-Ching Form, also known as Yang Short Form, traditional tai chi principles and self-defense applications. The Tai Chi moves are slow and can provide a meaningful workout for the entire body. When one takes on Tai Chi Chuan as a practice, the classics say one can "gain the pliability of a child, the health of a lumberjack and peace of mind of a sage".

"Women Warriors"
"Women Warriors" are women of courage, inner strength, compassion and encompass the spirit of great knowing. Women warriors will learn the principles of tai chi for self-defense through the use of non-action for self-protection. It is countering the hard with the soft, and the soft with the hard, as well as balancing yin (feminine) and yang (masculine) energies.

Self-defense moves are expressed with ancient tai chi energies such as ward-off, roll-back, press and push; the classic postures of "Grasp the Sparrows Tail" sequence. Workshop topics include accessing your chi (internal energy), maintaining your root, being single-weighted, keeping the spirit (shen) light, investment in loss and fair lady's hand. Instruction will be taught through solo and partner push-hands exercises.

Instructor: Jill L. Basso

Well Breast Massage Techniques for Licensed Massage Therapists

Santa Fe: Friday, April 24, 2009, 9:00am — 1:00pm

Well Breast Massage is a technique that promotes circulation and drainage of lymph in breast tissues, thereby ridding the body of the accumulation of toxins which cause painful cysts and eventually disease. This class is taught from the context of a 15-year longitudinal study that is collecting information on a wide range of women of all ages, both locally and nationally, to observe the effects of selfempowered breast health care. Our question is this: How does Well Breast Massage affect breast health, contribute to the prevention of disease, and aid in healing after disease and surgery?

Although generally taught as a self-help technique, many women would rather receive regular Well Breast Massages from a licensed massage therapist than perform the massage themselves. In our work, we find support for a hypothesis that women who are willing to take classes and practice/receive Well Breast Massage have an attitude which is open to enhancing their knowledge of breast health and prevention tactics. After this training, you will be in a position to perform Well Breast Massage on clients, educate women about the benefits and techniques of Well Breast Massage, and be an integral part of the Well Breast Massage research by encouraging women to join the study.

Jade Woman Qigong

Maui, Hawaii: TBA

Jade Woman Qigong is a superior method of healing that addresses the special needs of a woman's body.  The phases of a woman's life require a plentiful supply of blood to assure normal gynecological function. 
Because of these needs, Qigong forms designed for women have a focus that is different from traditional forms. The form is named Jade Woman because Jade is a highly prized precious stone that, since ancient times, has been regarded as a symbol of yin (female) energy.  This beautiful and effective form of Qigong was taught to Instructor Caryn Boyd Diel, by Master Liu He.  Jade Woman Qigong was taught to Master Liu He by her grandfather when she was a young girl growing up in China.

The Traditional Science of different cultures developed Sacred Geometry as a mean of reflecting on Earth the harmonies that human beings intuit govern the universe. One of its main purposes was to adapt to the world those cosmic rhythms that reflect perfection to enhance all aspects of life. This was a manifestation of the understanding that a very harmonious balance between the cosmo-telluric energies would lead again to reach the fullest plenitude of the spirit.

This hands-on workshop focuses on the concept of medieval mandala as a blueprint for conception and harmonization of spaces and forms. Among other things, participants will be introduced to the techniques used by ancient Master Builders to conceive structures as alchemical machines and learn examples of famous temples and sites where these techniques were used. They will also learn to create and use sets of measurements and proportions for specific latitudes.

The "Art of the Zahoris", also known as Druid Geomancy, is an energetic art that harmonizes the energies of Heaven and Earth, facilitating spiritual development and regeneration of the human being. In ancient times, this way of relating to reality was a universal fact. Most ancient cultures used a similar system to find and develop houses, cities and sacred places. This hands-on workshop will focus on awakening the body to reconnect with the Earth.

Shamanic Tiger Qigong

Santa Fe: TBA

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

Jade Woman Qigong

Maui: TBA

Jade Woman Qigong is a superior method of healing that addresses the special needs of a woman's body. The phases of a woman's life require a plentiful supply of blood to assure normal gynecological function. Because of these needs, Qigong forms designed for women have a focus that is different from traditional forms.

The form is named Jade Woman because Jade is a highly prized precious stone that, since ancient times, has been regarded as a symbol of yin (female) energy. This beautiful and effective form of Qigong was taught to Instructor Caryn Boyd Diel, by Master Liu He. Jade Woman Qigong was created for and taught to Master Liu He by her grandfather when she was a young girl growing up in China.

This magical qigong form provides great benefit to all women regardless of age or reproductive history, and is also appropriate for men who want to heal liver problems.
