The Breathing Body: SoULL From a Daoist Perspective
Sally Chang, teacher of Daoist Internal Arts, invites us to remember that this body is of the nature to move… and that your breathing body moves through change all the time.

The Qi Nodes are like a farmer’s almanac developed over many centuries. From observing seasonal patterns, humans learned to harmonize with natural cycles and apply them to daily life activities, nutrition, qigong, meditation, exercise, and rest.
When we are in accord with nature we can feel in the flow of generating life, even and especially in challenging times.
During the season of Autumn, the diminishing of Yang Qi is clarified as we move toward Winter’s Yin. Letting go, loss, grief, and the clarity that arises when space is cleared. Appreciating community by sharing the harvest of all the production from this year is cause for celebration and brings us closer to each other, building trust as we move toward winter.
In Traditional Chinese Medicine, Autumn is associated with the Metal element, and within our organ systems, the Lungs. Sally will guide us with Qigong movements to nourish and support the Lungs and internal organs.
