“The high spirit, wisdom, joy, enthusiasm, and gratitude of Fire is fed by the intelligence, kindness, generosity, and discipline of Wood; produces the practicality, support, nurturing, trust, and satisfaction of Earth; tempers depression, grief, and numbness in Metal (when out of balance); and it’s excess (too much fire – heart issues, hastiness, cruelty, impatience, arrogance) is extinguished by cool, powerful, gentle Water.”

This dynamic 7th and final class for Summer-Fire begins with some Qigong warm-ups to release stagnation in the tissues and joints while invigorating the whole body and then gently tap CV17 to release tension and stress around the heart. We’ll review some key points from the last 6 weeks and revisit Flying Phoenix Qigong. The remainder of the class activates our whole body, while extending our arms & stretching our Fire meridians, AND exploring Fire in relationship to the other elements. As always, we finish with a relaxing Savasana to help integrate the practice into our body-minds.
