Advanced Releasing the Heart and Listening to the Heart
Please Join Master Li for Releasing the Heart and Listening to the Heart.
In this 12-week series, Master Li will introduce the 10 movements and positions of Listening to the Heart, while also reviewing and going deeper into Releasing the Heart.
Releasing the Heart is a standing form that cultivates energized calm. Listening to the Heart is a sitting form that cultivates quiet and helps to deepen the heart.
This practice promotes the experience of spontaneous joy, one of the qualities that reside in an open heart.
Prerequisite: Students have studied Releasing the Heart with Master Li, Teacher Jing, or a certified Sheng Zhen Teacher.
Excerpt from the contemplation for seventh movement, Listening to the Heart:
“The cage of illusion breaks open an done can now see clearly
No matter where one looks, there is love and nothing else but love.
East is west, north is south, all lead to one.
The journey proceeds from any direction; One just has to embark on it.
The rest follows as the shadow follows the sun.”
