Chi Kung New Student Orientation
Hi! Welcome to Quiet Thunder! Here’s what you need to know.
Classes are Mondays and Wednesdays from 7-9pm
Location: Opening To Life, 2nd floor studio, 407 NE 12th St. Portland, OR 97232
What Happens In Chi Kung class:
Please come at 6:45 pm if you are a new student. You will have the chance to say a bit about yourself, ask questions, sign a waiver, and be led through the position for the meditaion. You will also be introduced to our guide Tzun Tzun and to the class. We bow in, meditate for 20-30 minutes, rest, then Master Tzun Tzun Hsue leads us through exercises that open you structurally, emotionally and energetically. A lot of what he says may not make sense to you at first; open your energy to listen instead of listening with your mind or needing an answer. There’s a lot to take in, so don’t worry if you feel a little strange. Just let it wash over you. Be patient.
Requirements:
- In class, be willing to follow instructions and not make excuses.
- Be willing to work with others (very important).
- Leave your ego at the door, which means letting go of your image, opinions, your position and attitude that you project.
- Students do not compete with each other in class. So be open to learning this, and not playing the competition game.
- During the class, the instructor may touch you to help you align your structure and open up.
- Open to things being different. Learn to listen rather than assume.
- Above all, be patient. In time, you will grow to understand what happens, what is talked about, and what you are feeling.
After class: When you return home after any intense energy work, it's important to take a shower for a good night's sleep. The next morning you may notice some aftereffects of the work. You are adjusting and shifting to new levels of energy awareness.
If you need to talk about anything that you experienced, please talk with Dana or Tzun Tzun. And if you liked class, tell your friends!
We look forward to working with you!
