Nurturing Longevity Qigong

 

Nurturing Qi, Cultivating Longevity

Nurturing Longevity Qigong is a Classical-style Five Element, Three Treasures Qigong practice for nurturing and safeguarding Qi, with a particular focus on longevity and the cultivation of vitality.

Rooted in alchemy and flow, the practice offers a way to turn towards the body, work with Qi and develop greater familiarity with the experience of cultivation.

This module explores the Nurturing Longevity Qigong form, working through the sequence and the principles that underpin the practice. Alongside the form, we explore the Daoist keys to longevity and the principles of nurturing and safeguarding Qi, with the opportunity to learn the form and return to the practice through self-directed study.

What this develops

  • Familiarity with the Nurturing Longevity Qigong forms

  • Greater awareness of Qi, it’s presence and movement

  • A practical exploration of nurturing and safeguarding Qi

  • A deeper relationship with the body and the experience of cultivation

  • Understanding of Daoist principles of longevity and the cultivation of vitality

 
 

Nurturing Qi Through Practice

Nurturing Longevity Qigong is more than a sequence of movements to learn and repeat. The forms offer a way to work with Qi through the body and become more familiar with its presence, movement and relationship with the body.

The practice is rooted in a Daoist understanding of longevity as the cultivation and safeguarding of Qi. Rather than treating longevity simply as the extension of life, this approach asks how we nurture the conditions that allow vitality to be sustained.

Through the practice of the forms and an exploration of the Daoist keys to longevity, this module offers a practical way into that understanding.
