I really want to thank everyone here and tell you how much I appreciate the alignment to Dr. Wu’s teachings. Yesterday, we had an amazing example of this in action that I want to share. Over the weekend, we were having a discussion in the WhatsApp group of people who studied the 9 Palaces Qigong with Dr. Wu this past spring about the classic text that commemorates the teachings for longevity Qiu Chuji gave to Genghis Khan, that led to Khan funding the establishment of the White Cloud Monastery. Khan had commanded Master Qiu to travel thousands of miles across China to meet him in his battle camp, waiting out the winter before continuing his war march towards the invasion of Europe. Qiu Chuji had a different agenda: to convince Khan to halt the war and bring peace to the land and to his life. His outstanding martial arts abilities were not the only things that convinced Khan to heed his words. It was also his deep love of horses and skillful horsemanship, as well as the power of his own lifetime of spiritual cultivation. Once Khan agreed to renounce war, the two of them came together for a set of health teachings that make up this Daoist text. Our discussion was around what was meant by this concept of “sleep quietly” for 30 days. The AI aggregate annotations suggest it meant to not have sexual relations for 30 days, but Quanzhen Daoism does not teach sexual practices or teach against sexual practices. Its teachings are focused on harnessing and increasing the life force energies that exist in the body even before we get into the sexy zone! I threw it out there that “sleep quietly” was really Qiu’s subtle request for Khan to halt the war for 30 days, sleep with his mind free from that burden for 30 days, and then see how he felt. Here’s the amazing part. Yesterday, without mentioning any of this to Dr. Wu, he brought up Qiu Chuji’s teachings about sleep, as passed down through the generations. “Sleep peacefully” literally means to just go to bed early every night! That’s as simple as it is!

This year has brought me a powerful inner journey including beautiful heart opening and the necessary transformation to receive from the universe. There’s also been a lot of letting go of old stories and people too - challenges that were abrupt and not gentle. But gotta get rid of the old ways to make room to go forward, as corny as that can sound. I will be out of the hermit space and back at it with all of you strong & courageous souls very soon. Just felt moved to pop in and say I am thinking of all of you every day. Time for even more abundance and joyful practice very soon! All my love, Jessica ❤️

Peace Fam. 6 days ago, I embarked on the continuation of my Inner Child Healing Journey for Lil Jeffrey with Dr Wu and the 9 Palace Qi Gongs for the Year of the Horse to get Lil Jeffrey's bank up and heal his heart. Dr Wu was teaching the ways of Master Guiguzi and he's a bit "unconventional" to say the very least and this is the result of one the practices he has recommended around visualization before we even begin the first movememnt. I'm year of the Dog, this is the Year of the Fire horse and my external animal to the Dog, according to Chinese Astrology, is the Beautiful Butterfly. And of course, that handsome young King in the center is H.I.M. If you didn't make the class on Sunday, PLEASE, PLEASE, PLEASE practice what you've learned in the replays that @Jessica Eckstein taught and go hard in the paint. You can find all the replays in the Classroom section under Rituals if you just got here. We Good Ova Here isn't just a catch phrase. It's a Real Deal Lifestyle. Peace Sifu Oyi

OK, so this past Sunday, March 8 I got a chance to attend the Qi Gong class presented by Dr. Wu and I didn’t know what to expect. I feel like I’ve heard the terms Qi Gong and I’ve heard tai chi but I just never really had the opportunity to formally like learn about them and then being in here I already knew I was gonna get exposed to a lot of different philosophies and things that paired well with what I was already doing. It’s very interesting that I’m preparing actually to study TCM coming up and I wanna say maybe like three or four weeks ago out of nowhere my mom starts practicing tai chi and then @Oyi Sun starts introducing @Jessica Eckstein and then it just starts to turn into this whole thing with Qi Gong and like and I’m just kind of in awe it’s been very enlightening so to say So I’ve been practicing first with just what I remember like I know I don’t have the whole sequence or what not down in order but usually I’ll start with like what what moves are naturally coming up for me to do in the moment so I’ll do those and then from doing them it’ll kind of like jog my memory for the other moves but I also will look at the recordings that Jessica did as well to help Yesterday we were practicing as a group and I got a bit of creative inspiration because it was like seeing the yin and Yang animals as or with the fire horse energy. So in the classroom Sunday we learned what are yang animal is and so I’m the year of the pig (yin) and the yang relation to that is the spider and I’ve attached a picture of what I came up with ChatGPT because it was a little hard to imagine a horse spider lol . 😂
