In traditional Chinese medicine and culture, “Qi” is the vital life force or energy that exists within all living things. “Gong” roughly translates to practice or cultivation. Qigong, then, is an ancient Chinese healing practice that uses breath, posture, movement, and the mind to affect positive changes in one’s energy balance and internal strength. Qigong has been shown to improve health, vitality, and energy levels, increase mental acuity, reduce stress, and bring about a more tranquil state of mind.

Qigong is closely related to other traditional forms of Chinese medicine, including acupuncture and herbal medicine, except it involves no external tools. The practitioner only utilizes their own body, mind, and breath! Its self-healing effects are supported by modern science, in that it boosts blood circulation, has a positive effect on brain chemistry, and generates strong magnetic fields.

The concept of Qi roughly parallels that of Prana in the Ayurvedic/Yogic tradition. Yoga and Qigong are both Eastern spiritual practices that share similar concepts and goals, including optimizing physical and mental health, meditation, self-study, and a connection to the divine.

In the workshop, you will learn:

• The background and scientific foundations of Qigong
• The many health and healing benefits of Qigong practice
• The basics of Qigong standing, posture, alignment, movement, and breath
• The complete Qigong Level 1 Healing Form
• Powerful, meditative breath techniques to enhance the flow of Qi in the body
