With the New Lunar Year of the Yáng Wood Dragon, we face incredible potential for individual and collective transformation. Many astrological predictions suggest that this year will have significant repercussions in the future.

In Traditional Chinese Medicine, the five elements live as our organs. The Liver and Gallbladder embody the Wood element and house the ethereal souls of the Hun, which link us to Heaven.

The Gallbladder is a Yang organ, and the Liver is its Yin organ partner. 

Wood exemplifies the energy of growth, change, and pushing through. The Liver's function acts as the architect of our vision and its manifestation in the future. The Gallbladder stores and excretes bile, rules choosing between options, decision-making, and good judgment. On a deeper emotional level, the Gallbladder is responsible for our passion for life, inspiration, action, and assertiveness. It helps us find our life direction whenever we are procrastinating or indecisive.

The Gallbladder carries out the Liver's plans, providing courage and initiative to keep life moving, including emotions. It influences the sides of the head and body and transforms Kidney vitality into action.

The Huns are our original connection to the immensity of the sky or our original and intrinsic spirituality. The Chinese character uses the image of the clouds to show that these spirits travel constantly and without limit.

The clouds travel in the immensity of Heaven, moving freely in infinite space.

Daria will offer a multi-angle course aligning physical practice, diet advice, and spiritual training to explore all these aspects connected to the Yang Wood Year Dragon. 

Physical practice will include Iron Shirt: Initially, the Iron Shirt was a qigong form of hard-style martial art exercise believed to help protect the human body from impacts in a fight. Iron Shirt is a series of exercises that use standing stances and body movements to induce the body's natural energy and reinforce its structural strength.

The meditation practice will include different approaches from the Tibetan Buddhist tradition. It will tap into the symbolic aspect of our being to unleash hidden impulses that hold us from our intrinsic immediate connection to unconditioned nature.

Other mind-training exercises will be provided, to bring forward our vision clearer in our heartminds.

Like the previous JING cycle, this course is conceived so the participants can develop daily practice.

The recording will be available for one year.

Here is an excerpt from Zhang Zi Chapter 1 to express the power of Wood energy and our potential to transform.

"In an unexplored area in the far north, there was a fish named Kun. The Kun was so big that no one could figure out how many feet across it was. It transformed into a bird whose name was Peng. No one could figure out how many feet across its back was. When it burst into flight, its wings seemed to hang in the sky like clouds. This bird could move to an unexplored area in the far south where the sky was like a large lake.

The Riddles of Qi is a record of strange marvels:

 "On the Peng's migration to the unexplored south, it beat against the water for a thousand miles. It spiraled upward like a cyclone for thirty thousand miles. It traveled for six months before it stopped to rest. Horses went wild. Dust and dirt flew everywhere. The creatures on the earth had their breath taken away by all that wind blowing everywhere."

 The sky is one shade of blue. Is that its original color? No matter how far it extends, is it without an end? Might the sky appear the same when looking down from above?"
