Red Pine- The "Red Pine" meditation is a progressive relaxation meditation where the teacher will guide the participants through the body in a prescribed manner in order to release tension and other conditions that exacerbate dis-ease. This is not a "tense-and-relax" technique that might be taught by "mindfulness" novices, but a way to get deeper and more sensitive throughout the body, enhancing the mind-body connection, and allowing the practitioner to have more awareness and control of their inner life and energy. This is a tool that can be used in myriad domains including enhanced sleep, mood boosting, preparation for other meditative or magical practice, mental health management, building internal sensitivity, and more. It's a great way to start and/or end a day, to prepare for a stressful task, or as an addition to a toolkit of other practices.
John Cosma- Sifu John Cosma has been practicing traditional Chinese Martial Arts, Qigong, and meditation since 1999. Most of that time, he has been an instructor in a variety of domains including one-on-one classes, group settings for fitness, martial arts, and mental health settings. He also has been training in Ch'an/Zen and Taoist meditative techniques and has added Western practices, finding commonalities in order to enhance his larger practice. Sifu John has been seen all around the Greater Cleveland area through the Asian Festival, Lunar New Year, Lantern Festival, and other landmarks, demonstrating Internal Kung Fu and as part of the OCA Dragon Dance Team. He is also the head judge in Internals and Forms at a local tournament. John teaches through the Shaolin Kung Fu Institute network of schools, at the Fitworks in Rocky River, privately, and through his day job at Stella Luna Counseling and Wellness.
