Chinese Yoga/Tao-Yin, Dream Practice & Star Gazing

Taught by Karin Sorvik, Healing Tao Senior Instructor

Tao-Yin exercises help your internal life force, or Chi, to circulate more freely, for the purpose of refreshing, attuning, adjusting and regenerating your personal energy. All the Tao-Yin movements are based on ancient spiritual development. Taoist Yoga floor postures stretch the difficult-to-reach psoas muscle, calm the mind, open energy channels, and relieve stress. An important aspect of Tao-Yin is that it has alternating phases of activity and relaxation.

During the relaxation phase you will learn to feel and gently guide the Chi flow to specific areas of your body. You will learn to absorb the nutrition from the air and the surrounding energy so you can open each cell to the fresh vitality of the universal force. This practice will help you relieve any energy stagnancy.

Dream Practice and Star Gazing

We'll learn a practice to shift form ordinary dreams into lucid dreaming where we can receive teachings. The physical dimension is not the only reality, no ego, beyond just me Honor the ancestors and masters. Open a space for the life force to come in.

Dreams expand our field of what is possible- irrational practice, something that we incorporate later to our knowledge. Bringing in the star light into our being to keep developing our practice and connection to the whole universe.

No pre-requisites, open to all.
