Bruce Frantzis & Craig Barnes – Swimming in Air Fall Workshop OCT

Description

Swimming in Air Fall Workshop OCT will demonstrate the application of the Sung practice to alleviate and relax internal tensions in each of these body layers. These body systems will be employed to awaken, integrate with, and fortify the etheric body, which will be the ultimate result of this process. This will facilitate the development of a movement that is akin to swimming in the air. This practice is indispensable for obtaining the complete health benefits of your practice. It can also result in enhanced combat capabilities and seemingly enigmatic push-hands abilities that rely more on the mind, relaxation, and connection than on brute external muscular force. Swimming in air is also a critical, essential step in the process of allowing the system to be opened up to the potential of directly utilizing the body as a support for meditation.

Who is Bruce Frantzis & Craig Barnes?

Bruce Frantzis is the founder of Energy Arts and a renowned Daoist Lineage Master. He worked as a qigong tuina doctor for over a decade and a half in China, India, and Japan. This training was extensive. He has been engaged in the study and instruction of the martial, spiritual, and therapeutic practices of ancient China for more than 50 years. He has authored over a dozen books on the subjects of qigong, meditation, and tai chi, as well as the related arts of baguazhang and xingyi. Additionally, he has taught these disciplines. The cultivation of Qi (chi), the internal energy that connects the mind, body, and spirit to the underlying consciousness of the universe (Dao), is the essence of his tradition.

Swimming in Air Fall Workshop OCT with Bruce Frantzis & Craig Barnes

A major physical problem of the body is the accumulation of stagnant qi in the body. This can negatively affect mobility, health, and longevity. Tai Chi, and especially the neigong components that will be taught during this course, move the qi and blood throughout the body. Learning and practicing this will improve the circulation of both qi and blood.

What You Will Learn

The first part of attaining Swimming in Air is getting the muscles, tendons, ligaments, internal organs, spine, and brain activated and coordinated. It is through these Neigong components one can eventually achieve “Swimming in Air” where everything inside of you connects to your etheric field. In this seminar, Master Bruce Frantzis and Senior Instructor Craig Barnes will explain more advanced ways of doing Tai Chi while going through the different systems of the body:

• Muscles – relax the body and create a relaxed strength
• Tendons and Ligaments
• Fascia and deeper body tissues
• Blood – increase circulation and enhance every major way that blood moves throughout the body
• Releasing the joints of the body

Many of the techniques within Tai Chi are taught by demonstrating them on another human being and saying, “This is what it is.” Now although that may be what it is, this method doesn’t tell you how you can train to acquire it. Watching a film does not teach you how to make a film. The focus of this workshop will not be so much on how well Bruce can “Swim in Air”, it will be to teach you the process for which you can do it yourself, and that is the difference between teaching and demonstrating.

Great for Beginners and Advanced Practitioners: 

If you are new to Tai Chi, we will teach you an easy-to-learn simple form called Tai Chi Circling Hands which you will be able to use during the course. This will be taught in a preparation session with Senior Instructor Craig Barnes that will be available to watch online immediately after buying the course.

For those who know Tai Chi, the emphasis of this course will be to apply the deeper components of Neigong within the Tai Chi form.
