2. Huai Xuan Heart: Emotional Healing and Spiritual Retreat - Next Date TBA
Overview:
Self-healing of our emotions, methods developed in the Huai Xuan school over a span of 3 centuries. Originated in the 18th century by a scholar practitioner called Liu Yuan and transmitted in by his family through generations, the Huai Xuan teaches that a person is first a human, a heart full of goodness, generosity and kindness- an inner heart developed by the fetus in the womb. Next, emotions and needs are generated as the baby emerges into the world- an external heart. To discover the inner heart and understand the external heart is at the core of the retreat. The participants will learn various methods to progress in understanding the self and how to get to a state of peace and constant harmony. Huai Xuan methods yield a great benefit for the body’s health and create a deep harmonious state with emotions and relationships.
The instructor: Yaron Seidman is a disciple of Liu Bogu (1930-2022) the late Huai Xuan standard bearer, with whom he studied heart healing since 2010. A doctor of acupuncture and oriental medicine and the founder of the Hunyuan medicine system. 30-year holistic practitioner and author of several books in the field of Chinese medicine and emotional healing, as well as Tai Chi and Qi Gong master.
