Small Circle Training
The most advanced Tai Chi Chuan training in the Golden Flower School is referred to as Small Circle Training. Taught by Master San Gee Tam, this is traditional Yang Style Small Frame Practice. With a focus on developing integration and internal power, the training concentrates on traditional Taoist relaxation exercises, standing practice and structure, Tai Chi form mechanics, application testing and push hands and subtle energy cultivation practices. This training is a long-term program taking many, many years to learn and embody but the chi and shen development that result are extraordinary.
This ongoing program focuses on healing oneself. The healing here refers to integration and becoming whole and complete as we are. This program deeply explores the physical, emotional and mental aspects of our reality. The exploration starts with unconscious and dysfunctional patterns and behaviors and introduces practices that will bring consciousness to these areas, freeing us of this unnecessary and limiting activity. From this more conscious space the process of deliberate creation is more effective and in line with our deeper desires. Understanding and practicing the creative process is a significant part of this training. Golden Flower’s Integral Healing Program also explores the deeper questions of life – who are we, why are we here, how does our mind work, is there more to reality than our five senses discern, what is really important; all necessary examinations in the process of healing. Master San Gee Tam’s wealth of experience and practice in this area over the last 45 years make this course exceptionally unique and transformational.
