“The medicine of the future will be music and sound.” ~Edgar Cayce

Class 5 of 7 for Fall-Metal begins with our Qigong warm-ups to release stagnation in the tissues and joints, invigorate our whole body, while opening our lungs and stretching our metal meridians in preparation for sound therapy. Flying Phoenix qigong further prepares us for the practice of the 6-Healing Sounds. As usual, we flow through vinyasas with longer-held standing poses for greater overall strength and flexibility while continuing our work on the lungs and the medicinal power of the out-breath. Beginning with Metal, the healing sounds for each of the elements will be practiced throughout as a means of releasing stagnant, “sick” Qi. We explore different vibrational frequencies on the exhale and notice how they resonate with particular aspects of our being (organs, tissues, elements, emotions…). Our class winds down with a restorative Savasana and the ultimate expression of letting go.
