"For life to exist, a constant movement of energy is required to carry out essential functions, from growth and repair to movement and reproduction. Whether this energy is electrical, mechanical, thermal, nuclear, or gravitational, it is constant. No energy is ever created or destroyed, only transferred; this is known as the First Law of Thermodynamics. Qigong lets us harness and guide this constant dance of universal energy so that it can flow through and flourish in our body. This is one of the most potent and powerful means we have to reestablish reciprocity with the Earth and all life.
In the fast-moving, consumer-driven culture we live in today, Qigong offers an antidote. It invites us to slow down, care for ourselves, and attune and attend to the energies within us and in the natural world. The Power of Qigong is giving you your work. The universe is providing the energy. May you use your carpenter's space to build and enrich your life. May you nourish and nurture this work. May you and all beings flourish together. May we know through Qigong the Source that is love."
