Three Pillars form for anxiety and trauma

Three Pillars Qigong (for Trauma, Anxiety and Grief): This form, in its various iterations, was created in response to the modern epidemic of anxiety and trauma, with an understanding of the way that “biographical” trauma intersects with how the “infosphere” has colonized modes of self-sovereignty and human freedom. This series focuses on three essential stages of healing the “shatterment” of the Jing-Qi bridge, which is the passage between one’s destiny and one’s capacity to express it. The three pillars are “Parasympathis,” a coinage describing the active process of calming the nervous system; Neurogenesis, creating new neural pathways of Qi; and Reintegration, or the preparation of the field of qi for experience. This form embodies the understanding that the imagination is at the foundation of healing.

Immunity Form

The Immunity Form consists of 5 qigong forms, corresponding to the five principal organs of Traditional Chinese Medicine(TCM), and strung together gracefully to make a single, seamless form and an energetic and spiritual continuity in the organism. The form seeks to be a somatic representation of an expansive view of immunity, as not simply the building up of a fortress of protection—called “weiqi” in TCM.

The Immunity Form effectively calls forth or summons the aspects of that organ’s function, both in terms of physiology and in terms of Post-Daoist 5 Realms Theory, that is most essential for vitality and harmony.

Hieratic Stance Series

The Hieratic Stances are the sacred human “architectures” of a vast field of human psychospiritual qualities and archetypes. The series follows a careful, systematic pattern with respect to the powers and energies that are enhanced, harvested, and expressed in each of the stances. As such, the stance series is, in reality, an original qigong form of static poses that are fluidly connected. The word “hieratic” in this usage means a heightened sacred and devotional attitude suited to the invocation of numinous power.

Essential Goodness Form

The Essential Goodness form is a stand-alone version of the third pillar of the Three Pillars form for Anxiety, Trauma and Grief. The energetic focus is the integration of the self with the world as well as the cosmic energies that backdrop everything in the world. It is to make the bridge from our original, authentic desire with its proper objects.

Mythos cycle

​The Mythos Cycle is comprised of ten qigong forms that are combined fluidly and gracefully, covering the zangfu organs of Traditional Chinese Medicine, as well as the archetypal, mythopoetic, and spiritual attributes of qigong as expressed in Post-Daoist philosophy. It is the combination of spirituality and physiology that makes this form particularly potent and profound.

meditation

Floating Heart Meditation directly addresses, and seeks to support, spiritual states of anxiety and trauma.

Jing Retrieval Meditation is a meditation of procreation. It is integral to the notion of the Jing-Qi Bridge, which describes the energetic connection between the procreative life force and the capacity to express that life force in the realm of circumstance. Jing Retrieval refers to the meditative process by which the fundamental energy of one’s life is called forth into the field of Qi, for the purpose of experience.
