The Purple Jade Flow™

What if eighteen simple movements could become eighteen conversations with yourself?

The Purple Jade Flow™: 18 Steps, One Endless Journey is an invitation to experience Tai Chi Qigong Shibashi Set 1 as more than a sequence of gentle exercises.

Drawing upon the flowing movements of this beautiful Qigong form, Daciana Indolean brings together mindful movement, intention, reflection and self-discovery. Each of the eighteen movements becomes an opportunity to notice, question, listen and explore - not in search of the "right" answer, but in order to become more attentive to what is already present within you.

Alongside practical guidance for the movements, you will find affirmations, meditative reflections and carefully chosen questions that encourage you to develop your own relationship with the practice.

The journey unfolds through three stages: gathering Qi, moving Qi and directing Qi - learning the form, bringing intention into your practice, and discovering what you might do with what you have cultivated.

Accessible to beginners and experienced practitioners alike, The Purple Jade Flow™ does not ask you to become more flexible, more spiritual or more accomplished. It simply invites you to arrive, move, breathe and listen.

Because sometimes the journey of a thousand miles begins with a single step.

Mine began with eighteen.
