Embrace the Wind, Caress the Moon

Part 1: Palms face each other for holding the Qi Ball.

            Exhale - Glide the hips back, palms to the Earth.

            Stand taller with palms up and arms out to the sides.

            Inhale - Spiral into the belt channel.

            Glide hips back with the back of the hands toward each other.

Part 2:  Exhale - Back of hands float up to the solar plexus, just below the sternum.

             Circle the arms forward and down.

             Inhale - As the fingers come toward you, point them upward and again to the solar

                        plexus/power center.

Part 3:  Exhale - From the solar plexus, go down, circle the fingertips outward and upward.

                         Point the fingertips toward the forehead.

             Inhale - Palms softly float down to the Earth; stop at the Lower Tan Tien.

             Begin again without holding the Qi Ball. 

I chose to shoot this Qi Gong video in Green Mountain Falls, Colorado, with the Skynet installation, “Off the Beaten Path,” created by Patrick Shearn. It reminds me of how energy is constantly moving, flowing, and changing. It can affect us in a myriad of ways.

Collectively, we can have a synergistic effect on our world. What do you see? What do you feel? How does this flow move you?

Thanks to my wonderful husband for being my videographer. Thanks to Sufi Garza for teaching me how to artistically put new pizzazz into my storytelling. Thanks to Lee Holden and Kele Baker for giving me the tools to further delve into this multi-tiered flow.
