On September 14, 15 and 16, Jampa Stewart will lead a 10-hour Taoist Micro-cosmic Orbit Meditation course at Valley Spirit Wellness Center in Washington Depot.

  Opening the Microcosmic Orbit is the ancient Taoist foundation for healing, martial arts and meditation. It awakens, circulates, and directs Ch’i (or Qi), our life force energy, through the two main acupuncture channels in the body.

  In this course you will discover how to actually feel your life force energy, and how to use your mind to direct it anywhere in your body for self-healing, centeredness, and inner peace. You’ll experience how to draw in and circulate healing energy from the universe and from nature to empower your entire being. You’ll also learn the Inner Smile Meditation, Six Healing Sounds, and Qi Self-Massage, practical and powerful tools for transforming stress into vitality, healing negative emotions and building your immune system.

  Stewart is a Senior Healing Tao Instructor and Chi Nei Tsang Instructor, certified by the Universal Healing Tao, and is the co-founder of Healing Tao USA. He holds a Masters of Science in Oriental Medicine from Southwest Acupuncture College (SWAC) in Santa Fe and has taught Medical Qigong at both SWAC and the Academy of Oriental Medicine in Austin, Texas.

  The course will take place on September 14 from 7 to 8:30pm, September15 from 1:30 to 6:30pm and September 16 from 1 to 4:30pm. Tuition is $295.
