Release Residual Fire

Description

Disperse Heat · Sharpen Intention · Strengthen Metal A Year-Long Qigong Journey Through the Fire Horse Year After the intensity of Summer, Fall Season, which starts around August 7, supports cooling down. This series focuses on working with Metal energy — supporting discernment, boundaries, and resilience to further grow our intention. It also prepares us for the cold weather, strengthening the respiratory and immune systems, which in Chinese medicine are the responsibility of the Metal element. These classes are suitable whether you are joining for the first time or continuing from earlier sessions. You do not need to have set a prior intention, you can arrive with a new one. Each series offers a complete, self-contained experience, while also fitting into the broader year-long program. The timing of each class is selected using Date Selection (Ze Ri), layering the energies of the year, the season in the Chinese calendar, the lunar phase, and the energetic quality of the specific day itself. Each class stands on its own; together, the series provides ongoing support for navigating the Fire Horse year with clarity and for moving intention forward in a more focused and resilient way. ________________________________________ Class 1 — Disperse Heat Release Residual Fire This first Fall session focuses on releasing residual Fire — excess heat, agitation, and overactivation that can linger after periods of sustained intensity. Through clearing, regulating Qigong practices, we disperse heat, settle the system, and create the conditions for clearer perception and steadier energy. The timing of this class is selected using Date Selection (Ze Ri). [Insert date] is a day when several energetic factors support clearing heat, completion, and letting go of excess. The days that follow also carry supportive energies for this work, making the practice beneficial even if you cannot participate live. Replay will be available.
