Series Overview
Time is a continuum. Now is always with us. But around us there is always change. Sun up sun down, new moon full moon, spring summer autumn winter. Each day is always different. Time gives particular qualities of qi, definite, quantifiable, with different effects.
In this course we will follow the keen observational skills of the traditional Chinese sol-lunar calendar. From the solar calendar we will make a detailed study of the 4 seasons, 6 climates, 24 solar fortnights, 72 x 5 day periods and associated 64 hexagrams. We will also practise the 24 mainly seated traditional qi gong exercises associated with the 24 solar fortnights, each one focussing on one of the 24 vertebrae in turn.
From the lunar calendar we will observe the 12 lunar months, the first beginning at Chinese new year, the second new moon after the winter solstice on February 17th. Successive new and full moons through the year give important festivals with traditional practices.
We will also study the sexagenary cycle of the 10 heavenly stems and 12 earthly branches, an ancient counting system used simultaneously for the years, months, days and hours, which links to the elements, seasons, organs and meridians.
With each of the 12 monthly sessions we will study the various seasonal aspects for the coming month and how they affect our organs, meridians and health. We will certainly become more in tune with time ourselves and will learn practical skills on how to use time and timing to help our patients.
