Qigong literally means life energy cultivation. With roots in Chinese medicine, philosophy, and martial arts, it is a moving meditation practice that balances and activates the Qi (chi) or life force in the body. Qigong combines physical postures, breathing techniques, and focused intentions. The practices can be classified as martial, medical, or spiritual. It is a highly effective health care practice, many report improvements in physical or mental ailments as well as connecting to their true inner nature. Blood and Qi have a very close relationship. Blood is said to be a denser form of Qi, and more Yin in nature. Qi generates, moves and holds the blood, while Blood nourishes the Qi. The gentle, rhythmic movements of Qigong reduce stress, build stamina, increase vitality, and enhance the immune system. It has also been found to improve cardiovascular, respiratory, circulatory, lymphatic and digestive functions. One of the more important long-term effects is that Qigong reestablishes the body/mind/soul connection. When these three aspects of our being are integrated, it encourages a positive outlook on life and helps eliminate harmful attitudes and behaviors. It also creates a balanced life style, which brings greater harmony, stability, and enjoyment! “If you want to LIVE TO BE 100, learn Qigong!” – Dr. Mehmet Oz, Contributor to Oprah Show And, speaking of age, anyone can do Qigong, from 5 year olds to 95 year olds! Any body shape or condition as well can be improved. If you can’t stand for very long, you can see results from doing Qigong while sitting. There was even a case of a person who made great improvements doing Qigong while lying in their bed! Jacqui has been practicing diligently, and is now a Certified Instructor by the Supreme Science Qigong Center in the Level One Healing Form. Come join us at Rising Phoenix. Only $15.00 a class! We are so excited to show you how to follow the Qi! Please RSVP by 8 AM on the day of class. You can RSVP here on Meetup, or call us at 703-257-7522.

### **What’s Unhappy Hour Breathwork, you ask? It’s our conscious breathing session to embrace our discomfort, sip some soothing tea, and dive deep into the beautiful chaos that is our childhood trauma, daddy issues, mommy issues, work stress, and those oh-so-fun failed relationships. Think of it as a cozy gathering where we can unpack our baggage together, all while sharing a laugh or two (or maybe a few tears).** Let’s be real life isn’t always sunshine and rainbows, and that’s perfectly okay.**We will give ourselves permission to be gloriously miserable for a full 90 minutes to** release the weight of our struggles. By using our own conscious breathing we’ll transform our experiences into something powerful and healing. Session will end with a soothing sound bath. Tea will be provided! Mark your calendars for this weekly dose of camaraderie and self-discovery. **What is Breathwork?** Breathwork falls under an umbrella term with many different marketing names and techniques. For this session we will be focusing in one technique while laying down on our back. This is NOT your typical relaxing breathing and it DOES NOT INVOLVE ANY YOGA movement. Breathwork takes us deep into the subconscious mind to make necessary changes and improve our lives by releasing emotional baggage and healing emotional wounds. When we tap into deep states of consciousness emotional release may take the shape of crying, laughing, even screaming. Many people like to call it years of therapy in one single session. It is very common to experience moments of clarity, bliss and many Aha moments during this session. Each person will experience something different with every session. All you need is an open mind and your own breathing to achieve results with no prior experience. Please note breathwork cautions before booking. **What you may experience during this session:** -Deep healing of emotional wounds, grief and traumas -Ability to connect to your higher self, Ancestors and the divine -Release anxiety -Improve emotional balance -Increased feelings of joy, happiness, and inner peace -Ability to create self-love and improve relationships **What to bring:** -Your own water bottle -A pen and notebook -A Yoga mat (or use one at the studio) -A blanket ( or use one at the studio) -Eye mask (if you have one) -Comfortable clothes to breathe and lay down **About Jenny Perez Curandera:** Jenny is a Curandera Shamanic Healer born into the Curanderismo Tradition.

Does your soul need a little boost on Tuesday? it's important to continue our healing/self growth journeys and build support for one another through our community. I know first hand how important it is to have people you can share and talk to along this journey. Many people don't understand it and think you are crazy. We know better, and we know we are making huge improvements in our lives. However, if you don't have support and feel alone, you could just give up. That would be a shame, so with this in mind, we will meet and explore many different parts of spirituality. This will be a free form experience, and will change according to the energy and preference of the group. Some nights we might do a meditation, some I might do some Access Healing work. Other ideas might include: Chanting, card readings, manifesting, visualizations, book discussions, crystals, affirmations, chakras, writing, past lives, Angels, coloring, clearings, astrology, mudras, nutrition and general discussions to raise your consciousness - the list is endless! We will also have guest hosts from time to time to learn about other topics under this huge umbrella! Join us to get your weekly dose of good energy, and we will all rise together! When we do, it has a ripple effect throughout our community and our whole planet! Yes, you do matter and what you do and think makes a big difference in the world! I can't wait to grow with you! We are flexible, we will start about 6:30, but if you can't get there then, join us whenever you can. This is a love based FREE event to support and help you soar, but DONATIONS are appreciated!

It begins with the awareness of one’s individual energy called, ‘kundalini.’ Once the kundalini is awakened within, the process of meditation becomes effortless and spontaneous, and this leads to complete peace and balance in life. With balance comes lasting joy and well-being of mind, body, emotions and spirit. **Where can I attend a Sahaja Yoga event or class?** You can check this website for upcoming events.
