A recording of the "live" Qi Chat from June 2023 on Silk Reeling, an ancient practice that can be applied in different ways for individual needs. Jeff will cover the foundations of Silk Reeling, the concept of 'spiral energy' and some of the health benefits. After the theoretical presentation, you will learn and practice each exercise and then do the Silk Reeling routine together. Movements will leave you feeling "strong and stable like iron, yet soft and flowing like silk!" The exercises from this Chat, can be found on their own here: https://qigongforvitality.vhx.tv/videos/silk-reeling-routine
