Know the healing gift of ‘Qi.’ Renew your heart with ‘Presence.’
 Restore peace and reclaim your energy!

Enjoy Inner Peace Qigong in the unique practice space of the Hut at Stream Yoga + Meditation in South Niagara, Ontario. Located on a quiet country road, this retreat setting is the perfect place to come to peace. Or let us know if you’ll join us by Zoom.

Learn the way of the Qi Energy Wheel: The Qi Energy Wheel method quickly washes and clears our energy field. It releases held stress and it brings harmony back to mind and body. It also takes one from the head to the heart (to open hearted awareness). This is a valuable doorway to Mushin in Japanese and Wuxin in Chinese (無心 “no mind”). It’s also a way of developing intuition.

Part two of this short practice is the energy directing or replenishment of Qi to the body’s main energy storage centre known as the lower Dantian (丹田, meaning “the elixir of life field”).

In Japanese traditions, the lower dantian is the area of the Hara (腹; Chinese: fù). It houses your vital energy, power and essence. The lower dantian holds primary importance as it nourishes the upper and middle Dan Tian. 

The lower Dan Tian has many different synonyms. It’s commonly known as the centre of gravity or Tanden energy centre of the body or even the second brain. In internal martial arts it is one of the most important areas in the body. The dantian stores qi and drives it throughout the body.

A master of calligraphy, swordsmanship, tea ceremony, martial arts or comparable disciplines is guided to move or “act from the hara.” Likewise when in the midst of stress or anxiety we are advice to ‘slow down, turn inward and move from the lower dantian.’

This is only one part of what will be addressed at our workshop on Sunday, July 23, 2023 at Stream Yoga & Meditation.

Beginners very welcome. No previous experience is required.

Hae Kwang Sunim

Hae Kwang Sunim started training at the age of 18 in Thailand. He took full seminary and temple training in S. Korea, with graduated ordinations (including Bhikkhu ordination) under Patriarch Kun Sunim.

He spent over 25 years distilling the Inner Peace Qigong (IPQ), deepest and hardest to grasp teachings, into a simplified language so it can be taught and effectively applied directly in daily life. In 2005 (2549), the 19th Headquarters in Korea appointed Venerable Hae Kwang Sunim as Director of Bo Kwang Zen Center Palm Springs, U.S.A. In 2013, the Western Bhikkhus Council nominated Hae Kwang Sunim 교구장 Kyo Goo Jahng of all American-European Temples (closest English translation: North American-European Oversight Head / Bishop / Director).

Hae Kwang Sunim drew from the most effective mind-body teachings he acquired from studying under different teachers in the East, including the teachings of Wat Bua Luang in Thailand. Part of the methodology is based on the ancient Eastern principles of Hai Palung (Energy Healing), Mind-Body Healing Qigong, Pon Klie Kwan Sow (Emotional Release), Meditation, Food-Based Healing and the importance of compassion, gratitude, oneness, outreach and the need to support the whole person holistically — Body, Mind and Spirit.

Our Unique Set + Setting 

Our Unique Set and Setting

 

Situated on a quiet country road, surrounded by organically farmed land, steps from the walking/cycling “Friendship Trail” and a kilometre from the sandy shores of Lake Erie, Stream Yoga + Meditation offers a unique setting for yoga + meditation classes, workshops and retreats.

“The Hut” at Stream (as we affectionately call it) is an expression of our wish to benefit living beings by creating a sacred space for the exploration of yogic, contemplative and human well-being practices of body and mind, open to all, regardless of background or beliefs.

Inspired originally by the shape of a yurt, our custom-built octagon studio resonates with a variety of meanings, including: the dharmachakra or wheel of dharma, the Noble Eightfold Path of Buddhism, and the 8 Limbs of Yoga.
