urbantaoist Glasgow : Taoist Chi Gung workshops in Glasgow

As some of my existing clients already know, I have been practising Taoist water method Chi Gung and Nei Gung on and off for many years now. Unfortunately Taoist water method Chi Gung instructors are few and far between and I have been unable to find one in the Glasgow area so I have decided to try and bring one of my instructors to Glasgow on what will hopefully be a regular basis to provide weekend workshops.

I am hoping that many of you will join me at these workshops to learn and practise Taoist water method Chi Gung, I personally find it very relaxing and yet energising and it does wonders for my back.

Ben has written a brief summary about learning Chi Gung and its objectives which is available to download, as a PDF file, below.

Considered the most powerful single-movement Chi Gung yet created, this is a deep and highly effective Taoist Nei Gung (inner work) system, yet simple to learn. You will learn to release your spine and spinal ligaments, pulse your joints and internal spaces of the body, gather and release macrocosmic chi and develop the microcosmic orbit of your energy. Its name comes from the practice of unifying the energies of Heaven and Earth in your Tantien during this practise.

Heaven and Earth Chi Gung leaves you highly relaxed both mentally and physically, with a great sense of physical comfort. It has many powerful and positive connections with, and effects on your liver. An organ that is important to general well being. Extremely effective for helping back, neck and joint problems as well as a myriad of repetitive stress injuries (RSI). Many body work therapists find this exercise beneficial in avoiding burn-out and physical pain and discomfort from their work.

This is a long and unique trek to visit Bon Monasteries and learn about this hidden and preserved culture far away from roads and electricity in a lonely and stunning landscape. One of the best and most remote treks in the world. - 36 days.

A spritual trek to the high and remote Dolpo region of Nepal to vist Bon monasteries and have a chance to learn some Daoist Chi Gung every morning before breakfast! Nominated to be a World Heritage site - Dolpo is culturally unique in that it is, according to one commentator - "the last enclave of pure Tibetan culture left on earth".

This trek is remote and very challenging. It takes us through breathtaking high Himalayan landscape devoid of trees and full of ancient history and mythology. A refuge for the snow leopard and ancient Tibetan culture with plenty of monasteries for us to discover. The itinerary has been written to give a long and relaxed trek through very challenging and remote terrain with plenty of time to visit monasteries and practice Chi Gung without the pressure of being in a hurry.

Gentle trek in Himilayan foothills practising Chi gung and visiting holy sites - 17 days.

We will provide daily Chi Gung, meditation, spiritual and Buddhist teachings in the mornings before trekking and some meditations at holy spots. Camping/Tea house trek with spectacular mountain views, through the little-travelled Mahabharata Hills inhabited by the indigenous Tamang people whose religion is a fusion of Buddhist Lamaism and the Shamanist Bon culture; it is not uncommon for a village to have both a Lama and a Jhankri (Shaman). Visiting villages and monasteries there is plenty of time to meet the local people and learn about their culture.

Rowling Himal is under the shadow of Gauri Shanka where we visit two monasteries which leads to the Sailung sacred hill with a panoramic Himalayan vista including a view of Everest. The famous Buddhist necklace beads come from trees that grow only in this area and Buddhists come from Tibet to purchase them for their prayer necklaces.
