Awakening Together
"The Movement of Now" with Ian McArthur
|
On the 1st Sunday of each month at 7:30pm (UK Time) / 2:30pm (ET), Ian hosts Qigong classes on Awakening Together.
No payment is required to join this class although donations are welcome. In this program we will learn the traditional Mind, Body and Spirit practice of Qigong (Chi Kung).
This practice has been followed for thousands of years in order to promote balance and wellbeing as well as a means to encourage Spiritual Awakening. Ian's Meditative approach to Qigong allows us to experience the many benefits of Qigong. Qi meaning life energy, refers to the energy circulating through the body and Gong means cultivation or work. The two words are combined to describe a practice to cultivate and balance life energy. By following movements (forms) and a simple breathing technique, we encourage more Qi to flow which in turn allows us to feel more peaceful and at One with ourselves. |

Each class includes a sequence of forms which are easily learnt and follow a theme. In the summer months we have concentrating on learning forms which relate to summer, the element of fire and the emotion of love.

Awakening Together
Awakening Together is a universal assembly of peers dedicated to recognizing and embracing universal wisdom regardless of the form in which it appears. There are also dedicated to recognizing the ways we deny universal wisdom by adopting personal beliefs and biases. They recognize these limitations so they can free ourselves from them and open to the continuous flow of universal wisdom.
Awakening together are an assembly of equals joined in common purpose: Awakening to the one True Self. Within an appearance of many faiths, many cultures and many symbols, they seek to discern one truth and to rest in its embrace.

Testimonial's from Students who have attended Ian's Qigong classes previously
"My first ever experience of Qigong was through Ian's teachings. I was taking a meditation workshop, and he had been invited to start the day off with an hour of Qigong. After that session, I felt so relaxed and present in my body that I had to take more of his classes. I've taken both Qigong and meditation classes from Ian, and his approach to both practices comes from a place of simplicity and efficiency.
Ian's approach to teaching, above all, aims to help you feel at peace and connect with the Home in the Heart, our true nature, that we often overlook in our busy lives. After each class I've taken of Ian's, I become flooded with peace, gratitude, and an awareness of the energetic aspect of my being that keeps me grounded and light when moving through the remainder of my day.
I'm very grateful for the kindness, patience, and compassion Ian brings to class, and every interaction we've had outside of it. It's been very important to me that the teachers I engage with are able to carry and live their message outside of their professional lives, and Ian certainly embodies that standard.
I highly recommend Ian McArthur for anyone interested in learning Qigong or meditation."
