Overview
Utilizing the methods of a 5,000 year old healing modality, you will learn exercises, breathing techniques and meditations that will generate, circulate, strengthen, and cleanse your life force (Qi). The practice of Qigong can lead to greater vitality and health as well as a more peaceful state of mind.

This course is designed to equip you with a sound foundation in Qigong so that you can take charge daily of your own health and healing.


A number of simple, practical and effective methods will be presented with an emphasis on health, healing, and self-development. This course introduces these rudimentary teachings:

• Basic theories of energy cultivation
• Dilation of the Twelve Primary and Eight Extraordinary Channels
• Emotional detoxification
• Opening the three energetic centers of the body
• Strengthening the body’s protective energy field

Who Should Attend
• Anyone serious about beginning their own energetic cultivation practice.
• Anyone who wishes to improve their health, longevity and self development.
• Anyone with little time to invest in lots of classes, but who wishes to acquire the highest quality of teachings in a short period of time.

Description of Intensives
Both weekend intensives are designed to introduce the student to the basic theories of energy cultivation, as well as strengthening the body's protective energy field (Wei Qi) and the techniques used to avoid absorbing Toxic Qi while in the clinic.

Topics covered in Level 1A will include the Three Dao Yin Regulations of Chinese Medical Qigong Therapy (Respiration, Posture and Mental training), as well as the Tonification, Purgation and Regulation of the body's internal organs and Twelve Primary and Eight Extraordinary Channels, Emotional Detoxification, Healing Sound Therapy, and Energizing the body's Three Dantians.

Students will be trained in various methods of meditation and tissue manipulation which serve to stimulate energy flow in the body's energetic channels (pathways), help regulate nerve function, strengthen the body's immune system, and promote the circulation of Blood and Qi.

This course will concentrate on building a comprehensive foundation of energetic medicine with a focus on clinical Qigong therapy and Traditional Chinese Medicine. Emphasis will be placed on the practical clinical applications of Chinese Medical Qigong Therapy.
