Qigong and Aging: Sahaja Yuantong
Manage episode 409083685 series 3564825
Aging and Qigong are deeply intertwined in Sahaja Yuantong's experience and teaching. As a Zhineng Qigong teacher herself, modification of practice becomes essential as many face physical challenges that come with growing older. Sahaja had her share of physical challenges such as sacroiliac joint pain and even breast cancer. With new information, it shaped her understanding of how to adapt Qigong practices to individual needs.
True self and consciousness form the core of Sahaja's approach to Qigong, emphasizing the importance of connecting with one's inner essence. The Qi field, she believes, offers a potent space for healing and transformation. Intuition and common sense play crucial roles in navigating the practice, especially when dealing with physical limitations. Adaptation of practice is key to maintaining a consistent Qigong routine despite bodily changes.
Teacher Liu and Teacher Ling have influenced Sahaja's understanding of Qigong and consciousness. Huaxia Centre, where many teachers trained in their youth, represents an ideal of practice that older practitioners must adapt to their current realities. The three centers merge meditation is one of the practices Sahaja has had to modify due to physical limitations, illustrating the need for flexibility in long-term Qigong practice.
Passion for living has been Sahaja's driving force, helping her overcome numerous health challenges. Emotional processing is an integral part of her healing approach, acknowledging and working through difficult feelings rather than suppressing them. Mortality is addressed openly in her teaching, viewing it as an opportunity for spiritual growth.
