Ling Gui Qigong – Seattle

In China, the turtle is revered for the slow, gentle breathing and calm movements that contribute to the turtle’s very long life and honored for its deep connection with the universe and fundamentally spiritual nature.  Ling Gui or “Spiritual Turtle” Qigong strengthens the kidney functions that are so important to overall health and, in addition, guards against and soothes arthritis.  A standing form, Ling Gui Qigong combines slow, careful movements with energetic stretching, movements that can help increase resistance to the wind, cold, and dampness of the season.
