Peace everyone,

It is good to connect with you and feel that we are all of one heart. The QC sends you light and love, and we are grateful for your presence.

As a Qigong community, we have grown so much together over all these years. We have experienced the power of healing energy in movement, meditation, group healing, Intention groups, and worldly healing. We have felt the waves of healing energy move between us and expand out into the world, like the waves of the ocean.

We are a strong community and can positively affect this world just by sending out our compassion and love to others. We have witnessed that our energy wrapped in loving light is powerful not only in a group but sent individually as well. You may feel like sending out positive thoughts is a small job, but know that our positive and calm thoughts can help others to step out of fear and into love.

We are helping to support the universal energies in creating a strong and vibrant worldly consciousness. At this time the world is focused on the same thing, to stop human suffering by caring for our families, communities and this planet.

We are more powerful then we know and the universe supports us.

Many Blessings,

Mary Zelmer, QC Executive Director and your QC Leaders.

Morning Meeting Notes

During our call last Saturday, one of our attendees told us that she had, had symptoms of the virus.  She then told us that during her time with one of our Intention Groups, she felt the symptoms release.  One thing that she said that caught my attention was when she told the group that we all know how to breathe.  Viruses do not like oxygen.

This inspired the focus of this morning’s meeting, breathing.  We all know how to breathe, so let’s take it deeper.  We will spend time on two breathing techniques taking them deeper through meditation.

We will also us our breath to integrate and transform any new energy that comes to support us.

Review

The Five Petals of Quan Yin.

Selfcare technique inspired by Quan Yin, recorded by Qigong Healer, Mary Zelmer

Remember to breathe deeply and gently.  If you feel any sensations focus on breathing into that area, to assist the moving Qi.  If an emotion arises, focus on breathing under or around the emotion, so that it can be released.  I always see the image of a loving hand going under the emotion and gently raising it up and out.

It is essential that you listen to your body and move at your own pace.  You may not need my words; you may have your own for each area of your body.  My wish is that you breathe and relax into each area, and feel the connection as the energy moves through.

1. Place your palms on your body over your heart center. One hand on top of the other. Feel the connection between the hands and the heart. The heart is where joy and inspiration grow. Let your heart know how much joy and inspiration it brings you. Breathe deeper.  Allow your heart to express how much joy and inspiration you bring it. Breathe into the light of love. 
2. Cross your arms and gently place your right palm on your left lung. Place your left palm on your right lung.  Focus on the connection between your palms and your lungs. The lungs are where appreciation and delight grow. Let your lungs know how much they delight you and how much you appreciate them. Breathe deeper.  Allow your lungs to express how much you delight them and how much they appreciate you. Focus on the space you have created and breathe into it.
3. With your arms crossed place your right palm on your left shoulder and your left palm on your right shoulder. Feel the connection as you invite your palms to relax your shoulders. Ask your spirit to stay and work with you. Commit to your spirit and let it know that you want to work with it. You’re a team and accomplish great things together. Breathe deeper. Feel how grounded you are, feel the energy moving from your hands to your feet. Breathe with your whole body.
4. Now gently move your hands to your sides, like you are giving yourself a hug.  Focus the energy from your left palm to your right kidney and your right palm to your left kidney. Do not strain.  Faith and self-worth grow in the kidneys. Let your kidneys know you have faith in them and they are worthy. Breathe deeper. Allow your kidneys to express the faith they have in you and that you are worthy. Breathe into your knowingness.
5. Lastly, place your palms on your lower dantian, belly button.  Feel the connection between your palms and your lower dantian. Breathe into how strong you are, how powerful you are, how loving and kind you are. Feel how relaxed your whole body is. How grounded you are. Finish by taking three gentle loving breaths.
