Five Animal Spirits Qigong
Tune into whole-body animal movements. We are the only species separated from our instinctual movements. Our day to day activity, or lack thereof, is shaped by conditions (chairs, computers, etc.) to which our bodies have not evolved. Crooked necks, cramped wrists, tense shoulders, static bellies and weak backs - these are just some of the effects. Unlearn the conditions of our removed-from-nature conditioning.  Let the spirit of the wild re-inform. Let's have some fun!
