SUMMARY:Daoist Ways Of Enhancing Vitality with Livia Kohn
DESCRIPTION:REGISTER HERE \n \nWORKSHOP OVERVIEW\nVitality in Daoism is a function of vital energy or qi\, notably the smoothness and harmony of its flow. Various methods serve to enhance this\, creating a stronger level of health\, a greater sense of well-being\, and an extension of youthful living. \nAfter an introductory discussion of the nature and workings of qi on Saturday morning\, starting at 9:30\, the workshop presents a series of different methods that serve to enhance the quality and power of qi. For the remainder of Saturday\, we focus on opening the energy flow by learning about and engaging in breathing practices\, healing exercises\, and internal qi-guiding. There will be a lunch break from 12:30 to 14:00 and we will adjourn for the day at 17:00. \nFollowing the same overall schedule\, on Sunday morning\, we energize the five inner organs\, working with particular methods of breathing and studying the power of visualization. In the afternoon\, we learn how to activate core Daoist values\, notably sufficiency and nonaction\, engaging with the essential potentialities of heaven and earth. \nIn each case\, sessions last about one hour and fifteen minutes. They begin with a PowerPoint presentation\, then open to questions\, after which we engage in the actual practices. The goal is to engage with Daoist thinking\, increase awareness of qi\, and gain a set of tools to choose from for its modification and the enhancement of vitality. \nABOUT LIVIA KOHN\n \nLivia Kohn is Professor Emerita of Religion & East Asian Studies at Boston University.
