A lot of people are feeling it right now. Life shifting, the world feeling uncertain, and that low hum of anxiety that just won't quit. That's what happens when your Earth energy is depleted. In Chinese medicine, the Earth element represents the center and stability. When it's balanced, you think clearly, you feel steady, and the waves of life don't knock you over. When it's out of balance, worry moves in, the mind starts spiraling, and you feel like you're floating with nothing solid to hold onto. The good news is that there is a solution. In this class, we use the "hoh" healing sound, yellow light visualization, and slow grounding movements that pull your energy down and in, out of the spinning mind and back into the body. After class, most people feel quieter, clearer, and more like themselves again. Your mind cannot settle itself from the mind. You have to go through the body first. That is the whole point of this practice. When the body feels safe, the nervous system relaxes. When the nervous system relaxes, everything else gets easier. No matter what is changing around you right now, the ground is still beneath your feet. This practice helps you remember that. Join us Wednesdays at 9am Pacific. Free and live on YouTube. 🙏 https://www.mountainmindmastery.com/virtual-qigong-with-thomas

Most people spend their whole lives searching. For meaning, for energy, for that feeling of awe and flow. The Taoists had a name for each layer of your energy. They called it the Three Treasures. Here's what that actually means in practice. Jing is your physical vitality, your metabolism, the intelligence running your body without you lifting a finger. Think of it like oil in a lamp. When it's full, everything burns bright. When it's depleted by stress, poor sleep, and running on empty, the flame dims. Most people are walking around half empty and calling it normal. Qi is the animating force of life itself. It's what makes a flower unfold, what makes a galaxy spiral, what moves through you as emotion, as aliveness, as feeling. Qi is the bridge between your body and your consciousness. When it flows, you feel it. When it stagnates, you feel stuck, foggy, heavy, like you're pushing through life instead of moving with it. Shen is your consciousness, the aware presence that observes all of it. The Taoists described it as the light behind the eyes. You know when you meet someone, and they just seem present, awake, clear? The teaching is simple, but most people never hear it: use your consciousness to guide your energy, and use your energy to harmonize your body. That's the order. Not the other way around. The problem is that most of us live in reverse. The body is running the show, reacting to stress, chasing comfort, burning through energy on autopilot. The mind is somewhere in the past or the future. And the spirit barely gets a word in. Qigong reverses that. We start with the body because the body is the one thing that is always, without exception, in the present moment. Your mind might be three days ahead in planning, or ten years back replaying. But your breath is here. Your feet are here. Your heartbeat is here. So that is where we start. Come back to now. Come back to yourself. Class is live, and all levels are welcome. 🙏 See you at 9 am Pacific on Wednesdays
