About the Retreat
The Story of Your Healing The mind and body are not separate entities but deeply intertwined aspects of a single living system. Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM) teaches that each organ acts as a vessel for specific emotions, and for centuries, ancient healers have recognized that unresolved sorrow and grief are stored within the lungs. When we "swallow our tears" to be strong, that emotion does not disappear; it settles into our physical tissues, causing the breath to become shallow and the chest to tighten. This retreat is designed to help you stop resisting these signals and start listening to your body's innate intelligence.
Why Focus on the Lungs and Gut? In the Daoist tradition, the lungs and the large intestine are considered a "sacred pair". The lungs govern your ability to take in life, while the large intestine—the "Minister of Transportation"—is responsible for letting go. If you find yourself unable to digest a life event, such as a loss or a separation, it often manifests as respiratory distress (asthma, wheezing) or digestive stagnation (constipation, bloating). By harmonizing these two organs, we clear "emotional sludge" and restore your natural rhythm of expansion and release.
Benefits of the Program
• Release Suppressed Emotions: Identify and express the root causes of grief, hurt, and neglect held in your cellular memory.
• Restore Lung Vitality: Improve your lung capacity and clear chronic infections by dispersing stagnant energy through specialized sounds.
• Enhance Digestive Health: Stimulate the elimination process to clear both physical waste and emotional residue.
• Cultivate Inner Peace: Transform anxiety and restlessness into serenity and compassion using the "Inner Smile" technique.
• Self-Mastery: Reclaim agency over your health and view your emotions as messengers rather than maladies.
What to Expect
During our weekly circles, we move beyond the "reductionist" Western approach of numbing symptoms. Instead, we utilize:
• Meridian Finger Holds: Simple, effective techniques to calm the nervous system and connect with organ-specific emotions.
• The "Inner Smile" Ritual: Pacing a "big smile" into your organs to radiate healing light and transform tension.
• Healing Sounds: Using the "hissing" sound to physically vibrate and purge the lungs of dark, foggy energy.
• Flowing Movements: Embodying the "Wings of the Phoenix" and "Moving Clouds" to circulate your vital energy (Qi).

Stories Of Transformation
If it were the old times i would say found my guru. Joining Sonika mam’s class made it evidential that a good teacher is a must to learn any form of art. She has opened the doors of unlimited possibilities of my mental and physical well being. Experiences like chi travelling inside and channeling it to heal, able to do movements that were painful because of shoulder pain a year ago. I feel so peaceful, grateful and calm in my everyday life irrespective of the surroundings.

I have been learning qigong for 9 months now . Qi gong has helped me deal with side effects of strong cancer medications . I would highly recommend qigong for every cancer patient and Sonika is the best instructor for that .She gives from her heart .I have been lucky to have found her during the toughest phase of my life.

I have been doing Qigong beginner level course with Sonika Ma'am for last 6 months through the recorded sessions. When I started, I had severe upper back and perimenopausal issues. And the ONLY reason I want to do another course with her is because I'm better and I know that I can count on her during my toughest times. Her step-by-step instructions and most importantly, always being there for continuous guidance is a great mental and emotional support for me.
You are a true Guru, Ma'am! And with folded hands, I thank you from the bottom of my heart for coming in my life and your continued guidance and support always.

Tai Chi made me to go beyond my own limitations of thinking and physicality.
