Taoist Longevity Breathing

September 17, 2023March 23, 2017 by Contributor

This is the first class and introduction to the 9 week Qigong series that Frank Iborra will be teaching online and is FREE. Frank chose this practice because of its foundational nature to all other practices, including Tai Chi, Tao Yoga, Ba Gua, Opening the Energy Gates and other practices from this system. Frank is a licensed acupuncturist with more than 47 years experience in martial arts and internal body practices. You can view his bio on our website at: www.whitecranehealingarts.com

Taoist breathing is the gateway to unambiguously feeling and awakening everything inside of you. The breath is bridge between body and mind. Fundamentally, all illnesses have an underlying disconnect between body and mind, therefore, developing awareness of the breath helps to facilitate the reintegration of the body, mind and spirit. As you develop the skill to go deeper into the integration process, you experience greater balance, healing and the potential for whole being.

Following are some benchmarks to take note of in the Longevity Breathing practice:

Facilitating the increase of oxygen and balancing oxygen and carbon dioxide in your body
Retraining the nervous system to deeply relax and awaken
Improving and repairing the functionality of the internal organ systems
Increasing and integrating the various levels of Qi which include meridian qi, wei qi, right and left channels and the central channel qi. (Qi can be understood as a combination of energy plus consciousness plus information systems)
Linking the energy of your breath directly to the fluids and nerves of your body which allows your mind to penetrate deeper into your being
Establishing the foundation of good health and peace of mind
Using breath as the stepping stone for Taoist meditation

Five TAO yoga postures will be included in class to support your understanding of how the breathing practice functions. Some aspects of “Opening the Energy Gates” including body alignments will also be included.

Acupuncture – Weaverville, North Carolina

Chinese Medicine is an integrated health care system that is over 5000 yrs. old. This holistic medicine which originated in China, is now practiced in different countries around the world including Japan, Korea, Vietnam, Europe and America. The Chinese medicine practiced at White Crane combines the ancient wisdom from the Taoist lineage traditions with contemporary knowledge of Oriental Medicine

Acupuncture is a time tested healing modality originating from the far East. Each individual will experience acupuncture on a personal level and what one feels depends on their own state of being and level of sensitivity. It’s common to feel a sensation of warmth, tingling or traveling Qi (energy) when the needles are inserted; and many experience a profound sense of relaxation and well being or possibly increased energy. Broward Acupuncture by White Crane Healing Arts treats the whole being which includes body, mind, emotions and spirit.

In the realm of acupuncture, the most common energetic pathways used are the 12 meridians or regular channels. These meridians connect to the yin and yang organ systems of the body. This system is generally emphasized in Chinese medical schools, however there are other energy channels that are equally valuable, known as the 8 extraordinary vessels.

Fundamentally, illness manifests when Qi, Blood and Fluids are either blocked, depleted or imbalanced, which diminishes its healthy coherence to the point of dysfunction or eventually illness. Acupuncture can reorganize this dynamic by opening, closing or harmonizing the flows within the rivers and streams (channels).

Spring Equinox & Quiet Sitting Class at White Crane

March 20, 2015 by Contributor

Hello Friends and Students,

The next Taoist Quiet Sitting Class is on Tuesday, March 24^th from 7:00 pm – 8:30 pm. We will continue to explore the energies of sinking (descending) and how to move these energies with great discernment into the dissolving process. Most of us find that when we start to observe, our minds are jumbled up into a mixture of thoughts, emotions and sensations; but we lack the skill to calm and integrate these experiences. Without clear discernment and the ability to feel the quality of energy that is occupying your mind at any given moment, it becomes increasingly difficult to quiet your being and deepen the experience of true inner space.

We will also begin a conversation about fear. The energy of fear creates one of the most fundamental blockages that can be encountered. Discussion will focus on the nature of fear and how it limits our growth at every level.

Beginners Welcome!

Location: White Crane Healing Arts Center, 7071 W. Commercial Blvd. 2C, Tamarac, FL 33319

Date & Time: Tuesday, March 24^th 7:00 – 8:30 PM

Cost: $10.00

phone: 954-721-7252

PS – Friday, March 20^th is the spring equinox. The new moon will prevail and in that will be the energy of new beginnings. Day and Night will be equal; and therefore yin and yang will also be equal. The sun will rise directly in the east and set directly in the west. In Taoist cosmology, the equinox is considered a high energy day.

If desired, you can acknowledge this energy with incense, candles and/or invocations. The idea is to raise your consciousness and purify your energy; especially on the subtle spiritual plane. Other suggestions include meditation, prayer, a reading of something that inspires you deeply, spending time in nature watching a sunrise or sunset, visiting a beach, forest or mountain. Whatever you choose, it should be done with clear intent – you get the idea!

Good Journey,

Frank
