The Good Shepherd is the Door of Life

Coming up in just one week! So grateful for the opportunity to meet some folks in Ellensburg! ❤️❤️

Meet Brianna Sieberg of Soul Beautiful Qigong

During the Wellensburg Healing Arts Festival, you can join Brianna Sieberg to practice a traditional qigong flow called the "Crane". Autumn is the season connected to the lungs, large intestine and the metal element. This is a wonderful flow to do at this time of year because it is great for stretching and healing the lungs. In this flow you will embody the crane, breathing, flying, washing your feathers and greeting the sun.

About Brianna:

Hello beautiful souls! My name Brianna and I am a nature lover, traveler, skier, artist and qigong instructor. I have been teaching qigong for over 10 years, currently both online and in person in Cle Elum. I have studied from a variety of instructors and have created my own style and method for teaching that pulls together the wisdom of my teachers.

What is qigong?

Qigong is all about energy. Every one of us is made of energy, but how do we keep that energy moving? According to Chinese medicine, keeping the energy moving is how we can stay healthy, vibrant and clear. Qigong emphasizes the wisdom of the body and its vital connection to nature, through breathwork, gentle movements, tapping, visualization and meditation.

Kicking off Autumn season practices this weekend! Autumn is a time of contraction and moving inward, and is associated with the emotions of grief and nostalgia. It's also a time to prepare the body, mind, and spirit for the next phase of the year and moving into the colder months. The lungs, large intestine and the immune system are important.

Join me Sunday to do a lung circulation flow to help us prepare for the season!

About Lungs
Lungs are responsible for circulating energy (Qi) and exchanging oxygen and carbon dioxide. In that process the lungs also purify blood! In autumn, the lungs are more vulnerable to wind, cold, and dryness, which can lead to chronic coughs, colds, and the flu.

Summer season is related to the heart ❤️ ❤️❤️❤️ Join me Sunday to do an Open Heart flow.

About Summer
Summer is officially here! In Traditional Chinese Medicine, Summer is the most Yang season. It represents outward energy, expansion, movement, and activity. This is the time to use the energy we have been storing all Winter and play! The organ that corresponds with Summer is the Heart and the emotion associated with Summer is Joy. Traditionally it is said that we should have a happy demeanor and not hold grudges during this time. Everything we do should come from a place of joy and be done with happiness and laughter. It is also a good time to heal emotional wounds.

Join me this Sunday for TRADITIONAL qigong, where we will do one of my favorite forms called the Yi Jin Jing. This is a Buddhist traditional form intended to strengthen your energy from the inside out.

About this practice:
This form is a challenge, but it is quite powerful and peaceful. In it, we tense and release (for example with our fists) to strengthen the energy deep in the tendons of the body.

Join me this Sunday for MINDFULNESS qigong, where we will focus on the EYES 👀. Our eyes are connected to the liver, which is the organ of focus during springtime. They can become extra strained this year, so doing eye qigong is Spring is particularly helpful, although it can be done any time of year.

About this practice:
Eye qigong is amazing for releasing tension from both the liver and the brain 🧠. A lot of energy and stimulation comes through the eyes all day every day, so learning how to release all of that extra tightness can be very helpful for refreshing your mind.

The weather is so nice today and I am inspired!

From April to October, I've decided to offer Pop Up OUTDOOR QIGONG classes in Washington State. These will likely occur around Cle Elum or in the I-90 corridor, but I am also open to other locations in the state as well. I used to teach regularly in the Seattle Arboretum and I would welcome any excuse to go back there. I am happy to go anywhere in the Seattle area (or even Tacoma) if you have ideas and a few people who are interested!

Please join the list now! You can also tell me your ideas in the 'suggestion box' provided.

Enjoy your beautiful Sunday!

The abundant energy of spring is circulating in nature. Flowers are beginning to emerge, birds are singing, the weather is getting warmer and a touch more sunny. ☀️. This time of year tends to impact the liver and we may feel a little more irritable or “on edge.” Join me for a qigong class this Sunday to harness the powerful energy of this season to detox and heal the liver.

About the Liver
According to Chinese Medicine, the liver is where we store the emotion of anger… and where we can turn anger into kindness and forgiveness.

It is not too late to join if you are interested! More info here: https://www.soulbeautifulqigong.com/events

Please note: I do give credit in my presentation to all my teachers where applicable. Much gratitude and respect. ☯️🩷

Swimming Dragon Qigong is an ancient moving practice named after the serpentine movements of the water dragon. 🐉 It calms your nervous system and improves your balance, flexibility, coordination, breath control and mood. Join me this Sunday to try this practice and see for yourself!

Eastern Dragon vs Western Dragon
In the East the dragon is considered a noble divine creature, respected as a God, with the symbolic meanings of fortune, good luck, peace, authority and prosperity. In the west the dragon is seen more as an emblem of the evil, greedy for gold, with the symbolic meaning of destruction and deception. When working with the dragon symbol, it is important to understand this distinction.

Join me online, Sunday March 31, 9am - 10am Pacific.

Sending calm and flowing divine dragon energy for the rest of your week 🐉 ❤️
