In October 2024, I published my first qigong booklet, 7 Animal Frolics MONKEY. It’s available as a free eBook. Simply write to me (at tsilvani@gmail.com) and I’ll send you a download link.
I’m also working on completing 7 Animal Frolics–a comprehensive practice book for the seven Animal Frolics that I learned while studying at Cold Mountain Dojo in Toronto, Canada. The ‘Frolics’ are standing and movement meditation sets from the tradition of qigong. Many of these sets harken back to the 2nd century, C.E. The seven animals are: Snake, Tiger, Bear, Crane, Dragonfly, Monkey, and Deer. Part two of 7 Animal Frolics MONKEY presents a standing meditation set invoking each of the seven animals.

From the Introduction:
“Monkey Animal Frolic is light and agile with playful eyes and a warm heart. Practicing Monkey loosens the joints and brings joy to the heart. He is the Grand Joker and has powerful medicine to offer you.”
