About Us

After a lot of thought and consideration I finally settled  on 'Trinity' as the name of my school of Qigong, Tai Chi and Meditation, thinking that it ideally reflects what I teach, and some of the important principles and concepts found in Qigong, Tai Chi and Traditional Chinese Medicine.  

Three relates to the most fundamental principle in Qigong practice referred to as the 'Three Regulations' or 'Three Adjustments'. Where through practice we look to achieve harmony and unity of body, breath and mind into one. This is important point is what differentiates Qigong from any regular exercise or fitness.

Three also relates to 'Heaven, Man and Earth'  Our relationship with the universe and how the three are directly related and help to achieve harmony of Yin and Yang.

Three Treasures relates to the concepts of  Jing (Essence of Life) Qi (Energy) and Shen (Spirit); It is one of the most important theories found in TCM and Qigong. The Three Treasures are the fundamental substances and basic elements of forming and maintaining life's vital activities. This Trinity can mutually transform, generate and enhance each other. Qigong masters in the past and today attach great importance and to and have accumulated a wealth of practical experience, which makes this significant to Qigong exercise.

Three Dantians, (Elixir fields) are the three areas where we can focus and concentrate our energies and located in the head, chest and navel.
