The modules of formation include 8 days distributed over one academic year. They are addressed to everyone who desires to deepen their experience with the taijiquan and internal arts. These modules are followed by practitioners wishing to live the inner dimension of these practices, by candidate-teachers and teachers in continuing education. Eric Caulier ensures the calibre of teaching at the time of the modules are presented. The integration of the form of the 40 postures (traditional Yang) as well as a covering letter constitute the pre-requisites. A certificate is issued at the conclusion of the formation during the constructive evaluation of knowledge.
The taijiquan acts on the level of the whole human being: body/breath/spirit. Its study and its teaching are concerned to the forms (matters, techniques), to the processes (transfer of information, images, representations) and with the paradigms (organizing power, capacity architect). Our School draws its sources from the original tradition as well as from the most scientific innovative approaches .
The taijiquan is more than a method of transformation, it is a Way of interior transmutation, essence of all the external transformations. The taijiquan is a work on energy, blows animating microcosm and the macrocosm, subtle bond between the visible and the invisible. The deepest springs of interior work/nei gong of the taijiquan can be apprehended only in reference to the shamanism and alchemy. Indeed, the Chinese taoists, creators of the taijiquan, are the heirs to the Shamans. They, moreover, incorporated in their creation the jewel of their practices: interior alchemy/neidan. In taijiquan, work on energy animating any life is of shamanic origin (names of the postures in connection with the elements and the animals). The discovery and the mobilization of this energy are carried out with specific techniques by using precise images in particular state of consciousnesses. |
