Daisy Lee – Master the 18-Movement Wuji Hundun Qigong 2022

“I am reminded of the joy of being…”

The sessions with Daisy have been extraordinary… her explanations about the movements, their functions, and the interplay of energy, mind, emotions, and body are many. Her voice has a full, warm resonance that sounds like music and helps me feel the flow. I am reminded of the joy of being… the wonderful miracle of existence.

During this transformative 9-module journey, you’ll:

• Refine, nurture, and further embody the Wuji Hundun Qigong practices you’ve only just begun to explore
• Strengthen and condition your body, mind, and spirit with deepening techniques to build greater resiliency in weathering life’s inevitable chaos
• Discern how to use the Wuji Hundun Qigong system to resolve some of the tensions that take hold when you’re faced with challenge or adversity
• Begin to trust your own body’s natural rhythm as you practice making adjustments to suit exactly where you are in the moment
• Build stronger “roots and stems” so the fruit of your practice can be fully realized
• Develop greater ease in making healthier choices in food, relationships, and other real-life aspects that impact your deepest health and healing
• Develop physical strength and increased flexibility
• Grow more resilient, courageous, and compassionate when you encounter chaos
• Learn how facing challenge and adversity with both thoughtfulness and care helps you grow and deepen your spirit — an elusive part of Qigong that goes beyond the physical
• Discover sovereignty over your own health and become more self-caring and independent
• Evolve from copying the form to being the form — as you introduce and play with deep attunement to all your senses

As your 9-module journey begins, Daisy will share the philosophy of flow using three foundational movements from Wuji Hundun Qigong.

You’ll learn to build self-trust and confidence in your body’s feedback through breathing and pausing, motion and stillness — and listening and observing both internally and externally.

You’ll be able to recognize old energetic patterns, releasing them gently as you grow new levels of self-awareness through the practice of Wuji Hundun Qigong.

In this opening module, you’ll:

• Learn skillful listening and observation to tune in to your body’s innate wisdom
• Discover how to modulate your breathing to manage chaotic frequencies
• Learn to do a daily scan of your body
• Support peace and balance using a silent meditation
• Learn how to extract multiple layers of healing from a single movement
• Develop presence and patience through deep listening

There’s an oft-quoted expression in Qigong: Yi Dao, Qi Dao or simply, “Where the mind goes, the Qi follows.”

As Daisy will explain, if your breath isn’t in the right place, your mind will lack clarity and decisiveness — making it much more difficult to effectively direct your Qi.

Everything starts with the breath, so learning to harness it and train in breathwork enhances the power of Wuji Hundun Qigong.

In this module, you’ll:

• Learn to modify the breath during times of stress and times of rest, as directing the breath directs the Qi
• Build breath synchronization with the Wuji Hundun Qigong movements to create inner peace in your body, and outer elegance in the form
• Learn the Wong Ar Hong Meditation to direct Qi into the three dantiens of the body for enhanced health
• Discover the importance of the lower dantien in grounding, and the power of the breath in uplifting energy

There are many distractions in a day. How can you continue returning to your practice as your default — to establish currency in what you’ve learned?

As Daisy will share, building focus through breathwork and gentle strength training supports grounded presence, even in the midst of chaos.

Daisy will guide you to merge with the nurturing Yin Earth Qi and the Yang Heavenly Qi as you learn to Ride the Wuji Wind Horse — an extended meditation to build postural strength, balance, and stability that can transfer to other parts of our lives in meaningful ways.

In this module, you’ll discover:

• A standing (or sitting) Wuji meditation called Ride the Wuji Wind Horse to build strength and stability in the body
• How to increase focused awareness amidst chaos
• How to be present without excessive effort
• The Wuji Weeble — invoking vertical alignment when chaos enters
• How engaging the core builds patience and resilient strength

The human body requires dynamic tension to build elasticity and strength in the body’s organs, as well as the muscles, tendons, and ligaments.

This dynamic tension is achieved through the fascia, the thin casing of connective tissue (with nerves almost as sensitive as skin) that surrounds and holds every organ, blood vessel, bone, nerve fiber, and muscle in place.

When stressed, fascia tightens and can cause pain — yet regularly practicing Wuji Hundun Qigong can help reduce the friction and increase easeful mobility.

Daisy will guide you to practice key movements that demonstrate this empowering aspect in Wuji Hundun Qigong.

In this module, you’ll explore:

• How to engage dynamic tension in the Wuji Hundun Qigong movements, using Rou, An, and Chai as examples
• The principles of Yin and Yang in an embodied way
• Ways to increase elasticity and vibrancy in the fascia
• Explore your range of motion to prevent and treat fascia projects
• Your choice of a 2-minute Wuji Movement you’ll practice three times a day — to keep the fascia mobile and supple

While it’s valuable to use your sense of sight to assess your form, especially early in your Qigong journey…

… engaging all five primary senses along with your intuitive sense can be even more helpful in learning and adapting Wuji Hundun Qigong to your unique body.

You’ll practice the full Wuji Hundun routine guided by Daisy, engaging the full spectrum of sensory perception and exploring subtle levels of awareness as you refine the physical movements in your body.

As you’ll discover, making small adjustments can alter how the form looks and feels — cultivating ease, comfort, and joy in your practice.

This is a transition from copying the form to being the form — as you introduce and play with deep attunement to all your senses.

In this module, you’ll explore:

• How to listen with your Lao Gong by activating a key healing point in the palms
• How to observe with owl eyes — using 360 vision to explore a broader perspective with the An and Kun movements
• Tuning your “sense of scents” — opening your olfactory awareness to mitigate fear, anxiety, or depression (as you explore Nature’s gifts or an essential oil to support relaxation or energy)
• A gum and teeth massage to enhance oral health
• The power of gentle touch to activate healing

Movements can flow like water, but it is structure that gives water direction and creates a path forward for ease and grace to grow in both our Qigong movements, and in how we manage the inevitable chaos that arises in life.

The blueprint for success in Wuji Hundun Qigong is to have sufficient structure, yet without being confined or limited by it. We will explore moving stances to coordinate with certain Wuji Hundun Qigong movements in this session.

In this module, you’ll discover:

• How to increase flowing balance by slowing down a movement
• How mindfully connecting the lower dantien to the Earth Qi helps anchor the body’s energy — creating greater stability when life is chaotic and moving fast
• How to roll with Rou — playing with the wild Wuji Ball, without losing connection in the lao gong points between the palms — while exploring moving stance work with the feet and legs
• The Showering Qi Meditation to cleanse and purify static or hyper energy from head to toes

There is great value in slowing your life down with the flowing, graceful movements of Wuji Hundun Qigong — yet there’s unmined potential in learning how to vary the speed when you need or want to.

A hand extended can be one that offers friendship and support, but can become a firm push or strike to a vulnerable point in the body of an unwelcome intruder who has crossed a personal boundary.

Daisy will lead you through a playful exploration of Wuji Hundun Qigong to understand the subtle changeover from healing art to self-defense that Master Duan was known for.

In this module, you’ll discover:

• How condensing energy into a focused area of the body supports stable strength and balance
• How releasing fear can improve clarity and focus
• How honing your intuition allows wisdom and creativity to blossom
• Ways to step out of your comfort zone and introduce organized chaos into the Tuo movement with a moving stance: Stepping Forward, Stepping Back
• That sometimes the best defense is surprise — including breaking away from habitual patterns to activate new neural pathways

Sometimes life’s pressure can cause us to give up altogether instead of simply being present with what is and acknowledging where we’re at.

Even for practitioners on the path of refinement, lowering unrealistic expectations increases fulfillment and quiets the chaos created by the pressure of unmet demands — for you, as well as those around you.

Daisy will guide you to focus on what you’d like to achieve in your practice, and work towards it, step by conscious step, one breath at a time, as you let the unnecessary fall away.

In this session, you’ll:

• Understand why returning to the beginner’s mind allows for deeper learning
• Learn why gentle inquiry is more effective than harboring punishing expectations for yourself and those around you
• Appreciate how untethering from unrealistic expectations leads to greater ease, inner peace, and improved creativity
• Practice the Wuji Hundun Qigong routine with relaxed intent and a pleasurable focus
• Ignite or re-ignite your passion for play by engaging a practice partner — your “partner” can be Nature, your pet, or a friend

You’ve reached module nine, the number of royalty and longevity in Chinese numerology.

At this point in your journey, you’ll have reached a deeper level of awareness of how form and function support one another — how work and play, breath, body and mind go hand in hand in refining your health and discovering your unique personal gifts…

You’ll have gone “into the deep” to explore the art and intelligence of Wuji Hundun Qigong.

Wuji Hundun Qigong is a living, breathing practice that will continue to inform your life as you practice. To keep learning from it, explore the practice through practice — checking in with what is happening in your body, heart, and mind should a movement trigger a reaction.

You’ll celebrate your accomplishments in this final practice together, and to continue to practice on your own, with greater self-trust and confidence developed over this time of dedicated practice.

In this session, you’ll:

• Celebrate how far you’ve come after nine modules of practicing advanced Wuji Hundun
• Explore how to discern the changes in your body’s health, mental qualities, and/or emotional balance
• Cultivate a plan to this practice on your own, supported by the layers of practical knowledge and philosophy inherent in the system
• Have a deeper appreciation of the phrase “a moving hinge never rusts”
• Share where your unique Wuji Hundun Qigong practices took you and how you used the 18 movements available to you
• Reflect on the highlights of your healing journey with Wuji Hundun Qigong
