Curriculum Description:
The second of four northern California intensives to be offered in 2008, this will be dedicated to ba gua quan's spring liver-waist trigram pairing.

Forms: eight standing meditations, liver palace fist, even lifting palm, wind wheel palm.

Techniques borrowed from: liver palace fist, eight palm fist, eight mother palms, pao chui

Mystery teaching:  the liver soul temperament, chinese medicine, chinese medical psychology, western Rosicrucian medicine, challenges of opening the intelligence of the liver and waist related to personal growth and character.

Trust in the power of relationships and community is necessary to release repressive forces in the organs and neuromuscular body. Formlessness, and the activation of ba gua quan's famed "natural strength," is a function of correct physical method that invokes expansion of the three-fold (thinking- feeling-willing) human being. Hence, the original system of ba gua quan this lineage contends, was a whole life spiritual inquiry that led one to the doorway of the Mysteries. The art of fighting is both a means and a tool to complete actualization.
