This month, our practice turns toward the rhythm of return — found in the breath, the movement, the quiet between each gesture.
Let the return itself be the teaching. Each breath, each swing, a way of coming home.

In practice, effort softens.
We discover the quiet strength of Wú Wéi — effortless action.
Gravity teaches release, momentum reminds us to trust.
Through awareness, movement moves itself.
Doing becomes being.

As the year turns, our practice mirrors nature’s rhythm of return.
Repetition isn’t routine, it’s revelation.
Each swing, each breath, each return brings us home again. 🍁

🍁 The rhythm of return. Each season invites us home — back to the still point within movement, the quiet pulse beneath all change. Through repetition, the familiar becomes new. Through awareness, the ordinary becomes sacred. Return again. Each time, you meet yourself anew. #QigongDharma

Take a few moments today to simply breathe. Soft belly, open heart, and feel how awareness moves through you with each inhale and exhale. This is the foundation of all practice.

Hey everyone! Just a quick reminder that I host a session every Wednesday at 10 AM PST where you can come sit with me and explore Qigong Dharma. It’s a space to slow down, connect with your energy, and just be present. I’d love for you to join—come as you are and see what unfolds!

Coherence arises when the brain moves in harmony rather than conflict.

Less fragmentation. More flow.

Notice your body and breath — awareness brings the brain into balance.

I just released Circular Pulse Practice on Insight Timer. 🌿 In this session, I guide you through circular pulse movements that open the microcosmic orbit and nourish the body. Feel the connection between earth and sky as you align and awaken your energy from the inside out.

Sometimes all it takes is a few conscious breaths to reconnect with your body and awaken your energy. Pause, breathe deep, and let your body recharge from the inside out. 🌿✨

Your brain’s Default Mode Network fuels chatter + overthinking. QigongDharma retrains it—quieting the noise + anchoring you in presence. 🧘‍♂️

Join me Wed 10am PST for class. This is next-level meditation.

I’d love to share The Eight Expressions of Qi with you on Insight Timer. 

This is a practice I’ve created to help you feel the flow of energy in your body, soften into yourself, and return awareness to the present moment. Just come as you are, with your breath.

“The body remembers. That’s why we practice returning to it gently.” 🌿

Every breath, every step, every pause is an invitation to soften into what the body already knows. We don’t have to force it, only listen.

Sit with me on Wednesdays ✨ We’ll practice QigongDharma — a meditation in motion that softens the body, deepens the breath, and returns awareness to the present moment. No experience needed. Just bring yourself, exactly as you are.

Your breath is more than air — it’s resonance. Each inhale connects you with the stars. Each exhale expands that connection. ✨ What do you feel when you breathe with the stars? #breathwork #mindfulness

Notice your thoughts. Don’t follow them, just watch them come and go.
Where do you feel the space that holds them? Take a breath and rest there. 🌿

🌊 With each press of the palms, the body ripples like a wave. Folding into the qua, breath slows, lymph flows, and stillness opens. #QigongDharma #MindfulMovement

Hey friends, it’s me, Teja.

Take a moment today. Pause. Breathe. Even just a few slow breaths can help you reset, soften, and reconnect with yourself. Meditation isn’t about doing it “right”—it’s about giving yourself a little space to just be. 💛

🌿 “Be gentle. Even your resistance is worthy of compassion.” — Teja

Your resistance isn’t the enemy. It’s a signal that something in you needs care, attention, and kindness. Even the parts of you that say “not now” or “I can’t” deserve gentleness.

As you lie down tonight, close your eyes and notice the film of your day passing through your awareness. Connect with the four phases of breath—soft, smooth, natural.

Coherency isn’t perfection—it’s body, mind, emotions & spirit moving as one. When we align, the best in us naturally rises.

Mindfulness isn’t only stillness.
Embodied Mindfulness blends Buddhist dharma + Daoist energy so the body itself becomes a gateway to presence. 🌿

It’s more than self-regulation—it’s transformation.

The goal isn’t to stop thinking.
It’s to stop believing every thought.
Let them pass like clouds in the open sky of awareness.
