FREE Lub Dub Drum Joy Circle with Dr. Wong
June 1, 2024, @ 1:30 pm - 2:30 pm HST
In-person only
Saturday, June 1, 2024
1:30 – 2:30 pm
Tai Chi balances compression (Yin) with expansion (Yang) for energy to be expressed. Lub dub is the first sound we experience from the womb: a mother’s heartbeat. Nurturing, soothing hypnotic comfort, this interchange of sounds filling and emptying, expanding and contracting gives the fetus balanced support to thrive with the Yin and Yang of life. Remember how it felt? Release tension by expressing the rhythms of your body! No music or rhythm experience necessary. We are a percussion circle based on the inherent rhythms of Nature within all of us. Bring tambourines, buckets, shakers, bells, claves, cymbals, castanets, maracas, hands to thump or feet to stomp. Any form of drum or percussion instruments are welcome. Limited instruments will be available, or just come as you are to enjoy the energy of rhythmic expression. Be amazed at how we can heal and evolve through spontaneous synchronization and cooperation.
Dr. Wong Kai Ming
In Dr. Wong Kai Ming’s words, “Seek only harmony in spirit, as there is no honor in domination or control, there is no need to fight unless we allow it emotionally or physically.” Dr. Wong encourages his students to find strength and sensitivity in body mechanics, proper thought and mindset to support the mind-body systems, and an open connection to spirit. He embraces transformation of spirit-mind-body relationships, as an enthusiastic student of the martial arts and various other Asian arts, such as Fengshui, study of the I Ching, and a Japanese form of astrology.
Dr. Wong has been teaching Yang style T’ai Chi Ch’uan over two decades and holds a masters certificate in Chin Na, under Grandmaster Kam Jun Wai who taught “win without fighting”. Inspired by Taoist and Buddhist influences, he enjoys applying martial arts concepts to daily life and his medical practice, observing the benefits of resonating energy modalities as his patients recover from surgery. When challenged, he blends Eastern and Western disciplines to bring forth truth, knowledge, and wisdom
