Cheng Hsin Cumbria

Cheng Hsin Cumbria Be effective whilst remaining totally relaxed and calm. For those interested in movement, body funct This stuff is fascinating.

We are a group of people, mostly involved with qigong (chi kung) and taiji (t'ai chi), who are studying and practising the approach to mind and body taught by Peter Ralston and his Cheng Hsin organisation. We are lucky to host Peter's highest-ranked European teacher, Kevin McGee, a couple of weekends a year; the rest of the time we meet informally, often in Sedbergh, to practise. We don't study Cheng Hsin to the exclusion of other practice but we do try and integrate its insights with that other practice. For a taste of what is involved you could look at http://www.chenghsin.com/ (Peter Ralston's web site) or https://peterralstonblog.wordpress.com/blog/ (Peter's blog) but really there's no substitute for doing some of it. Martial artists will notice there aren't really forms/katas to learn, we are interested in basic principles; meditators will notice we are trying to pay attention in movement and interaction as well as in stillness. Dancers will notice we aren't always co-operating, but we always work in respect and safety. It can be discombobulating and so it is done in an atmosphere of care, kindness ... and laughter.

Workshop calendar 2020
Art of Effortless Power

April 25/26 Kevin Magee
June 6/7 Elizabeth Saetia
July 18/19 Kevin Magee
Sept 5/6 Kevin Magee

Kevin is the most highly qualified teacher of the Art in Europe and yet he is bothering with us three times this year. He is very approachable and relaxed and he clearly tailors his teaching to those present.
Elizabeth is the top woman teacher in Europe and a great inspiration to women practitioners. She is the smiliest teacher I know and her workshops are great fun.

If you are a beginner, do come to some of our local sessions ahead of Kevin's first workshop. The next one is at Levens on Wed 26 Feb.

Women doing Cheng Hsin
Peter Ralston (the founder) in his latest newsletter (sign up on chenghsin.com) comments on the lack of women visiting his centre in Texas. In Cumbria that is really not our problem. For a start we have one of the best teachers ever, Elizabeth Saetia from Cheng Hsin France coming to teach on 6th/7th June. And we have a good proportion of women practitioners of our own. In the last three local sessions there were a total of 4 women and one man.
The photo is of a sensitivity exercise at High Newton yesterday. No photos of the park this morning, too foggy.

This is the regular Thursday morning group in Sedbergh. Cheng Hsin banans will notice straight away in the first photo that he is doing his best to offer his hand but she is looking at his shoulder. More work needed.
But the main point is, we are enjoying ourselves in the park doing Cheng Hsin.
