Description 🌿
This 13-class series introduces Method 8, Ling Yuan, which focuses on understanding and working with patterns of the consciousness and heart.
In this series, we will specifically explore the 10 fundamental patterns, which strongly influence how we think, react, make decisions, and relate to ourselves and others. You will learn how to recognize these patterns and gently work on transforming and replacing those that are less helpful with healthier ones.
Through guided meditation, reflection, and group sharing, this series supports the development of greater awareness, inner stability, and connection with the heart and True Self.
Who This Class Series Is For 💛
This class series is open to participants who have learned Methods 1, 2, 3, and 7.
This class series may be a great fit for you if:
• You would like to learn Method 8 and experience this journey within a supportive and shared group environment.
• You have already learned Method 8 and feel called to revisit the patterns, deepen your understanding, increase your awareness of how these patterns show up in your life, and strengthen your connection with your True Self.
This series can also be especially supportive for Yuan Qi Gong teachers who wish to deepen their own experience and explore inspiring and practical ways of sharing Method 8 with others.
Although this course is suitable for most participants, it is not appropriate for individuals currently experiencing severe psychological distress, a major crisis, or suicidal thoughts.
