“Your own fire, your spirit. We all carry a piece of that sacred fire within us. We have to honour it and care for it. You are the fire keeper.” Robin Wall Kimmerer

The sixth class in this Fire-themed course for Early Summertime turns our attention to our Spirit-Axis. This deeply nourishing class begins with some Qigong warm-ups to release stagnation in the tissues and joints while invigorating the whole body and gently tapping our crown (Bai Hui) (our most Yang point and its connection to the Sun with its transformational power of Fire) while sinking into KI1 or Bubbling Spring (rooting into our Water Power). The Lotus Meditation is a powerful visualization to activate our Spirit-Axis followed by Walking Crane qigong to continue the work through movement. The remaining 45 minutes is a restorative yoga practice with poses designed to continue deepening our awareness of our Spirit-Axis – in our physical, mental, and emotional bodies.
