CHINESE RHYTHMS

     Exercise is an integral part of a healthy life style. Chinese Rhythms and the Ten Fundamental Treasures are Qi cultivation exercises to support your commitment to radiant health and wellness.

     CHINESE RHYTHMS are a western adaptation of traditional Chinese exercises. They consist of 8 movements that are easy to do and can be practiced at any age.

     The Ten Fundamental Treasures are Qi exercises performed with intention and imagination. Coordinated by your body, breath and mind working together as a team, they balance the Qi circulation in your body organs and organ meridians. Selected movements may be chosen for specific needs or they may be practiced as a complete set.

     The key to success with the Ten Fundamental Treasures is regular practice and the relaxation of your body, mind and emotions. You may look forward to:

• Constant, smoothly flowing Qi throughout the entire body-a crucial factor for wellness.
• Your mind will become stronger and able to focus when needed and where directed.
• You will learn to access a balanced emotional state during stressful circumstances.
• Your body, mind and emotions will become integrated providing a solid foundation for your Shen (Spirit) to guide you in your spiritual practice.

     Chinese Rhythms and the Ten Fundamental Treasures are recommended as warm-ups. They circulate the Qi throughout the body preparing it for more active movement or athletic activities such as: walking, running machine work-outs, tennis, golf, dance, bicycling, etc.

     Both are a valuable asset in your wellness program to balance your Qi , increase longevity and promote rejuvenation.
