Welcome to a summer practice(and maybe reintroduce some of you to Qigong) where we explore our Fire energy through the Guigen Restoring harmony sequence for Fire and introduce theSummer Snake practice based on the Wudang snake form. In China, in the 5-element theory, the Snake corresponds to the Fire element of summer. The Snake entwined around a turtle is called Xuanwu. It is the spirit of the north and the defender of China. Practicing this form is good for the heart, regulates the spirit and allows the body to find softness. I encourage those of you who did the practice live to practice the last three minutes of the recording to just cement the opening moves into your mind and body.
