What is the Microcosmic Orbit? β―οΈ
- A classic Taoist meditation that promotes health and longevity by harmonizing breath, body and Mind.
- It gently guides awareness through a loop along the two primary Yin and Yang energy channels: up the spine (the Governing Vessel) and down the front body (the Conception Vessel).
- Practiced with relaxed breath, light pelvic floor engagement, and simple visualization, it encourages a smooth, circular flow of Qi (life force) through the body, balancing all channels and all Organs
Where it comes from β―οΈ
- Rooted in ancient Taoist inner alchemy traditions and QiGong practices that teach us that each person is a Microcosm of the entire Universe (Macrocosm).
- The Microcosmic Orbit allows us to understand the nature of the Universe through our own felt experience
- Passed down through monastic and household lineages for centuries, then adapted in modern times into an accessible secular wellness practice
At the H.E.R Womenβs Retreat you will be lead through the Microcosmic Orbit meditation while resting comfortably on your back. If you would like, several acupuncture needles can be placed at specific points on the body to enhance the experience
And you will leave with a simple, yet powerful, practice that you can use anytime to harmonize your inner Universe π
