They can be practiced by anyone willing to take five minutes a day for the development of improved health and increased awareness. Performed daily the Pal Dan Gum exercises will recharge the inner organs and will purify all the psychic channels and organ meridians. They will promote improved blood circulation to all parts of the body. The muscles and joints will become more flexible and resilient. The posture will improve and many of the common everyday ailments that plague most people will gradually disappear.

This simple Chi Gong form can be a blessing for anyone, to help to reduce stress, improve mood and enhance overall health. It is based on the 5 Element Theory of Traditional Chinese Medicine; that ancient sages viewed humankind as a reflection of nature and by observing the cycles and changes in nature they developed a theory to explain the physiological activities and pathological changes of the human body. The five elements and their colors are: Wood (green), Fire (red), Earth (yellow), Metal (white), and Water (black or dark blue). By regularly practicing the 5 Element Balancing Qigong, you can create harmony and a better understand of the natural cycles of with our inner nature while promoting radiant health and peace.

 

Jin Shin Do® Basic Neck and Shoulder Release- 3 hour introductory class $50 per person.

This is a bilateral release for the entire neck area. This area is universally tense, blocked, and very armored, when the neck is tense and blocked, thinking become foggy, emotions cloudy, spiritual attitudes less free and positive. Tension in the neck influences and affects every area of our body.  The neck release pattern is done at the end of all Jin Shin Do ® sessions. This also has a very calming, nourishing effect for the body, mind, and spirit.

 

Jin Shin Do ® Extended Neck and Shoulder Release- 2 hour class (Basic Neck and Shoulder class required) $35 per person.

This is a bilateral release of the entire neck area with added points for the arms, hands, and upper back. When these areas becomes tense and blocked, thinking becomes cloudy; increased emotional tension, spiritual attitudes less positive. Because most of the Organ Meridians and strange flow channels pass through this narrow area it will have a calming influence for the entire body.

 

Jin Shin Do ® Back Release- 2 hour class (Basic Neck and Shoulder class required) $35 per person

The Extended or Simple Neck release pattern can be used after this release pattern. It is excellent for stress and tension in the entire neck and back area, encourages balance and harmony between the emotions and attitudes.
