A health and rehabilitation discipline incorporating movement, mental-emotional, and spiritual exercises
What is Soulfire QI Gong?
Qi Gong is a Chinese word meaning vitality-work. Many types of qi gong exercises are practised. Many are martial-related, designed to build strength, stamina, and conditioning. Some are health-related, incorporating movements that invigorate, massage, and activate particular organ systems in accordance with traditional Chinese medicine. There is also a deeper aspect of qi gong which utilises the quietness and stillness to access deeper states of consciousness.
The foundations of qi gong come from our ancestral ritual and ceremonial dances around the fires before hunting and in celebration of tribal conquests. Invoking animal movements and qualities allows our consciousness to tap into archetypal personalities such as the power of a tiger or the mischievousness of a monkey.
SoulFire Qi Gong opens the gateways to our true and deeper nature. It offers perspective and insight to our human roots and reminds us to be ultra-vigilant of our intentions (Yi).
By practicing SoulFire Qi Gong, we can reclaim our lost power, heal ourselves while moving and breathing with intention and focus, and even participate in healing our loved ones, communities, and environment.
What can it do for me?
SoulFire is a blend of movement with spirit and vigour.
SoulFire Qi Gong teaches the roots of building functional strength and integrity of movement. The gentle and vigorous movements can be practised by any age or gender. They protect the joints of the body by learning proper mechanics, build muscle that will enhance strength into our centenarian years, and develop ideas associated with deep psychosomatic principles.
As ideas and creativity take hold within, the focus on ‘feeling’ ushers the practitioner to experiment with the depths of their own power and abilities.
You will practise in a fun and easy environment that will allow you to adapt the exercises to your current capacity of movement and focus. There is no stress or competition involved; the progress is determined by the individual.
Watch your health and wellness transform as you dance around the fire in your heart, become a madness of sublimity and divinity, and invite your true self in to play, again.
“SoulFire Qi Gong is not so much about what somebody says it is. SoulFire Qi Gong is what each individual practitioner feels that it is, to them.”
-Stavros Mihaletos
