Chi Kung in Ruhpolding<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

With Chi Kung in the Tradition of the Masters, you can bring your inner energy and strength to new\u00a0heights.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

To train together in beautiful surroundings, we have been meeting regularly for several decades in Ruhpolding, a picturesque town in the Alps near Salzburg.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Here are some impressions from the last workshop.<\/p>\n\n<\/div>\n\n

This year we’ve been exceptionally lucky with the weather.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

An early winter brought a lot of snow to the area just a week before our workshop.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

But when we arrived, the sun was shining from blue skies and it was so warm that we were able to train outside under a mighty oak tree.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Training under trees is traditionally considered the best way to strengthen our life energy\u00a0(Chi).<\/p>\n\n<\/div>\n\n

As most of the participants were well experienced and have been training for many years, we were able to focus on advanced Zhan Zhuang practices:<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Second Heart, Second Lung, and Reverse Breathing are rarely taught exercises that, when practiced correctly, bring additional strength and energy to the entire body.<\/p>\n\n<\/div>\n\n

True to Wang Xiang Zhai’s famous words, “a small movement is better than a big movement,” these advanced exercises are hardly recognizable to an outside observer.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\n

In silence there must be movement, and in motion, there must be silence.
A small movement is better than a big movement.
No movement is better than a small movement
Silence is all the movement\u2019s mother.<\/em><\/p>\nWang Xiang Zhai<\/cite><\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n

In this extraordinary form of Chi Kung, the energy of the practitioners manifests itself in inner strength and outer radiance.<\/p>\n\n<\/div>\n\n
