First Class with Instructor

Just finished the first class with the regular instructor, Arnold Tayam, Doctor of Medical Qigong. He has a website for his Longevity Center (see links).

Came away with two experiences from the class. One was a statement that Dr. Tayam said during the introduction--all healing is self-healing, and all healing involves spiritual work.

He also reviewed basic cleansing, gathering, circulating, creating, and locking exercises, plus he added the Five Treasures--Ocean Wave, Draw up the Earth, Starlight Gathering, Opening the Heart, and Draw Down from Heaven (the last with slightly different hand attitudes).

I went into the class feeling somewhat funky--sort of irritable and anxious. I'm now feeling very grounded, very still. One more step on the path of many steps.
