The Topic for this month is:
the Path of the Micro Cosmic Orbit ~ Let's Practice 🪐
The Micro Cosmic Orbit (MCO) is an important pathway of Qi circulation that can greatly help health and vitality.
It is said that when the MCO is moving, then we will 'cure 1000 diseases.'
This speaks to how important the MCO is, for all stages of the Qigong journey!

In this Chat we will discuss:
- what is the Micro Cosmic Orbit
- the connection to the chakras and the MCO
- different ways to practice circulating Qi through the MCO and why
Then we will practice the "Harmonizing Earth" routine together, as late summer is an excellent time to nourish the Earth element 🌍
