The Columbia Law School Mindfulness Program invites you to a meditation for faculty, staff, and students, held via live-stream on Wednesday, December 9th from 12:45-1:25pm. These sessions are oriented to beginners and also open to those more experienced with mindfulness practices, and they include guided meditation as well as discussion of mindfulness meditation. Participants are also invited to bring lunch to these sessions and enjoy their meal in community. This week's session will be led by Dr. Te-Hsin Lo and hosted by Mike Kerman (bios below).
In this beginning introductory class we will focus on basic Qi gong movements that require no previous experience.
Qi gong has been practiced for over 4000 years as a reliable health and longevity practice. It is an ancient Chinese mental-physical meditation art and nature-based science of gathering qi (life force) for self-healing. Through its synchronized combinations of rhythmic body movements, harmonized breathing techniques and intuitive thinking, regular practice is well-documented to revitalize the whole body, boost the immune system, speed up recovery from injury and improve negative emotions and moods.
Qi gong practice is suitable for all levels and ages. Adaptations will be suggested for people with physical limitations.
