An Introduction To Heaven Mountain
Heaven Mountain Taijiquan College is named after the mountainous area of XinJiang in Northern China where my teacher, Dr. Shen Hongxun, lived as a young man. We teach Taijiquan, TaijiWuxiGong, authentic Qigong, Healing and Meditation as beneficial and accessible systems of self-healing and exercise for all.
Our goal is to improve the health and well-being of students and to provide authentic information to enhance and spread the understanding, development and acceptance of these systems.
We offer regular local classes and workshops, along with residential and international courses in Taijiquan, TaijiWuxiGong and Buqi Healing, a non-invasive form of Energy Healing.
College Director Paul Brewer explains:-
"Both Taijiquan and Taijwuxigong are highly efficient exercise systems. The study of Tai Chi usually begins with the slow continuous sequence of movements commonly known as 'form' but, unlike most other schools, includes detailed study of the individual postures and their martial applications along with partner practice for sensitivity.
Qigong uses the same knowledge and skills, but focuses primarily on self-healing and development. Both work by activating the dantian, the central component of the energy system, causing an increased energy level throughout the body.
This increased 'energy pressure' assists in clearing the meridians and channels of obstructions, by expelling stagnant and stale factors in the body that we refer to as negative Qi, which can lead to rapid and highly beneficial physical and emotional changes.
By practising methods developed over many years we can become more flexible, more aware, more alive and vital in all senses. Through meditation, (the mental aspect of practice) we develop more acute sensory abilities while learning to
calm the emotions and quieten the mind.
Primary consideration is given to the physical practice of stretching the spine, opening the joints and correcting the posture, thereby increasing the flow of blood, hormonal and nervous information and qi which nourishes the organs. It is interesting and enjoyable to learn, no special equipment is required and you don't need to purchase or wear uniforms."

TESTIMONIAL
"Paul. I am writing to say how much I am enjoying the Tai Chi class. As well as my original aim of improving my own own mental and physical awareness, I have found that my body seems to be correcting itself. I used to suffer from a lower back problem that resurfaced intermittently. I am now aware of a significant reduction in muscle tension together with an increase in energy. After practising, and at the end of a class, I feel like I have the body of a child again. My spine feels longer and I can move freely. Tai Chi is also something I can take away with me and help myself with, due to your expert tuition. Many thanks for helping me to feel physically young again. Kevin"
