Energy Arts Senior Instructor Paul Cavel recently released his "Five Keys to the Taoist Energy Arts." If I had to put together a complete foundational program for learning qigong or Tai Chi, this is exactly what I'd include.

What's inside the Five Keys:

• Breathing
• Energy Work
• Standing Meditation
• Smooth Circular Movement.

As you know from many episodes of Qigong Radio, I turn to Paul whenever I want a clear and structured explanation of a dimension of my practice (check out these episodes on body development and meditation).

You will be able to build every dimension of a complete qigong practice — pretty much all of which you can practice in 15-20 minute sessions.

I've checked out the first couple of lessons and I can tell you that they are excellent — straightforward, deep, and focused — like we always expect from Paul.

The best part of this online course format is that Paul will be available to answer questions in a private forum for the training group (which is why it's only open for a limited time — so that everyone can start and be on the same lessons together).

So, if you've been waiting for a chance to get started with qigong, no matter where you live or what background you bring to the practice, don't miss this opportunity.

And for experienced practitioners, Paul's clarity of teaching is sure to be an excellent upgrade.

This program is currently unavailable, but join the email list to know as soon as it comes out again!
