New York Internal Arts Presents:
This Class is Now Full!
Taoist Life Nourishing Meditation is a traditional Chinese health preservation method that has been practiced for thousands of years. It is composed of three parts, therefore the class is divided into three 3-week sections: 1. Breathing Each of the three parts is a complete practice in its own right, yet at the same time the methods of Breathing and Dissolving Blockages prepare the student for Golden Fluid Nei Gong, a profound longevity practice traditionally considered the secret Taoist “internal alchemy” which is said to improve health and prolong life. 1. Breathing This section of the class employs seated meditation to cultivate conscious awareness of the breath through deep abdominal breathing. Studies have shown that deep abdominal breathing increases lung capacity, lowers blood pressure, calms the mind and relieves stress. 2. Dissolving Blockages Through standing meditation, students explore body alignment and progressive relaxation in coordination with breathing to dissolve energy blockages within the body. 3. Golden Fluid Nei Gong Through a unique system of “inverse breathing” that opens and activates the body’s natural pathways (meridians), Golden Fluid Nei Gong taps into the natural restorative powers of the body. Physicians in modern China now believe that the health benefits of this practice stem from its ability to modulate the endocrine system and its release of hormones. Enroll early, class size is limited to 20 students. Class Dates: Nine Thursdays - January 28 through March 25, 2010 Cost: $210 Location: 440 Studios, 440 Lafayette Street, Room #4A NYC 10003 Time: 6:00 - 7:00 PM Teachers: Tom Bisio & Valerie Ghent For more information on Tom Bisio and New York Internal Arts, go to: www.newyorkinternalarts.com To contact Tom Bisio via e-mail: tom@tombisio.com.
