Introduction to the 5 Internal Organ Energies
Bypass your head and 
"tune into" this primal source of guidance 
that will never let you down
with Three Treasures Tai Chi

This workshop was held Saturday, June 14, 2008

Can you really trust your gut?
Use movement, breath, & meditation to get to know your own 5 Internal Organ Energies. Learn to communicate with your Lungs, Kidneys, Liver, Heart and Spleen as your own personal guiding spirits who long to help you achieve physical healing, healthy relationships, & spiritual awakening.

Everyone knows about "gut reactions" and the value of "trusting your gut." Chinese Medicine makes this intuitive awareness highly concrete and tangible by highlighting the unique voices, consciousness, and intelligence of our own organs. You might say that each of us have five wise guides in our five major organs. These organs are enlivened by an type of intelligence that is highly personalized to us, yet mirrors within our own bodies the 5 elemental powers of nature. If we neglect, isolate, or ignore these great sources of internal wisdom, we set ourselves up for stress, problems, confusion, and frustration. Cultivating our relationships with them leads to health, energy, and a sense of living our lives with purpose, intention, and direction.

In this workshop the instructors introduced a variety of tools for cultivation, including tai chi movements, guided meditation, healing practices, and alchemical principles for change. All fitness levels were welcome and no prior experience was required.

Instructors were Alan Graham, Beverly Isley-Landreth, and Sandy Seeber.

Led by Three Treasures Tai Chi, who share a common dedication to the practice of Tai Chi as a peaceable art as well as a vehicle of healing for individuals and communities. Visit www.threetreasures.org.
