Shaila Catherine

Shaila Catherine has been practicing meditation since 1980, with seven years of accumulated silent retreat experience. Shaila studied at the Sharpham College for Buddhist Studies in England and dedicated several years (1990-1996) to studying with masters in India, Nepal and Thailand. She has trained with such luminaries as H. W. L. Poonja, Buddhadasa Bhikkhu, Nyoshul Khen Rinpoche, Tulku Urgyen Rinpoche, and PaAuk Sayadaw. Shaila's current focus is the development of concentration and the deep states of absorption called jhana. She completed a one-year intensive meditation retreat focused on jhana as the basis for insight (2003-2004) at Insight Meditation Society in Massachusetts. Shaila founded Insight Meditation South Bay in California in 2006 to bring a continuity of Dhamma teachings to the south and west bay region. She is the author of the book Focused and Fearless: A Meditation Guide to States of Deep Joy, Calm, and Clarity, from Wisdom Publications.

Chunyi Lin's, Spring Forest Qigong:

Love

While learning to direct and enhance your body's energy can bring you tremendous benefit, Chunyi emphasizes in all of his classes the power of love and compassion.

"The most powerful healing force in the universe is pure, limitless, unconditional love. Even if you don't always feel loved or loving, this healing energy of unconditional love exists within you. Even if you don't always see this love in others, it exists within them, too." Chunyi Lin

Spring Forest Qigong practice helps you to balance and enhance the flow of your energy. Spring Forest Qigong practice also helps you to connect your mind, body, and spirit, allowing you to open your heart to the pure, limitless, unconditional love of the universe.

Energy

Everything in the universe is energy. Every cell in your body is a form of energy. You are an energy being.

Spring Forest Qigong teaches you effective breathing, mental focus, and simple movements to help you balance and enhance the flow of your energy to help you achieve your optimal health, wellness, and happiness. You will read more about this in the accompanying pages in this section.
