When we don’t know how to deal with the things that happen in life and the feelings that come from them, a common response is to push them down and hide them away. When this happens time and time again, it is like a snowball rolling down a hill, building and building. A whole lot of feelings, emotions and ways of responding to life that are all squashed together. Life gets more and more complicated over time, there is something there, but it feels too much, too huge to look at, so it remains hidden.
However these feelings have an impact on our life and they will find to make themselves seen, for example through our health, our stress levels, our relationships with others, the world and our relationship to ourselves.
Unpacking this snowball, is life’s big mission. Seeing the things that need to be seen, but seeing them again from a new angle, with clarity and wisdom. But, importantly doing all this in a way that is both safe and effective.
About the Practice
The founder of Ren Xue, Yuan Tze was born in a small ancient coastal town in the Jiangsu province of China in 1962. He studied Qigong, Tai Chi and Martial Arts for most of his life from high level masters throughout China and worked helping people one on one and teaching Qigong.
Through this work he began to see the limitations of Qigong practice on it’s own, and a need to not only work on Qi – energy and cultivate the deep, relaxed, calm state, but also to work on the underlying patterns (habitual thoughts, feelings, behaviours and emotions). Because of this, he created the practice of Ren Xue and it’s two subsystems Yuan Qigong – an innovative form of Qigong, consisting of 9 methods, each working on deeper and deeper levels – and Yuan Ming, a practice where the teacher (ie me!) works one on one to help you adjust your internal Qi, develop the heart and discover and change patterns that stop us from manifesting our full potential in life.
– Be relaxed, calm and natural
– If you are living according to the last principle, your pure Qi will continually flow in abundance and with vigor.
– Mind, Shen or spirit is in a harmonious state and abiding inward, rather than being order-less, scattered and directed outward.
– Where can illness come from?
