Qi & Tea with Amber Gamboa, 8246620
Quarterly seasonal class hours, Summer 6-7/Equinox/Winter 5-6
Qi Gong translates to refined energy practice, the leading and guiding (Dao Yin) of Qi through ancient form and Conscious flow of dynamic movement synced in harmony with Daoist breathing techniques to activate meridian pathways in correlation with the associated organs.
There is much more depth in regards to the 5 element Classical Chinese Medicine Wheel & 8 trigram is the Internal Energy map or Bagua of our Zang Fu (organs) , the decoded healing wisdom of rebalancing ever changing change, from the book of change ; the I Ching 1122 b.c
About Me: I am Amber, a Kung fu au natural mama of 2 & certified Qï Gong Instructor. I began my Martial Arts journey 33 years ago when I was just 3.5 yrs and I received a black belt in Tae Kwon Do at 11. I was very dedicated to my practice as a child but it no longer aligned as I grew out of the competition as I learned there was much more in life to slay.
In Qï Gong, form is essential to the practice but martial Karate/ Kung fu is an exertion of physical Energy where as Qï Gong is a mindful martial art for the conscious warrior to cultivate Qï for longevity, vitality and to rebalance the Yin & Yang within.
What illuminates me most to share Qï & Tea is to be service to the our amazing plant tribe and also to assist in awakening of introspective awareness, where we learn to heal our own body, mind and spirit and evolve into a healthier humanity
