Greetings All,
This site is dedicated to my wujigong and meditation class, currently every wednesday night at my office, Jacobs Chiropractic Acupuncture. This is a free class for anyone interested in learning and practicing qigong or meditation.
The Qigong taught is a Taoist-shamanistic style which I learned from Acupuncturist Jeff Nagel, L.Ac. The meditation taught is primarily a mindfulness-awareness based meditation, though we occasionally explore styles from various traditions.
The premise is simple: We need to consider working with our minds just as seriously as working on our bodies. A healthy body is pretty useless without a healthy mind, and a healthy mind is naturally calm and resilient, open and spacious. It is not wild, unstable and lost.
We need techniques to work with our minds, just as we need techniques to work with our bodies. Qigong and meditation are two of those techniques. Our minds are very flexible and changeable, and we can turn them into an ally, rather than an enemy.
All are welcome, the details are below:
