Cultivating the Qi
affects both
the Physical and the Spiritual.
Qigong
Qigong is an ancient Chinese practice and consists of body movement, mental concentration and breath work.
Still, the focus and the
effects of Qigong are on the energy level: cultivating the "Qi" or "life force energy."
Qigong is generally considered as a health
maintenance exercise, but it can also be practiced for specific purposes such as: Relaxation & Stress Management, Self-Healing,
Spiritual Integration.
A schedule for weekly classes, one-day workshops and retreats (3-day & 5-day workshops)
can be found on "Calendar."
Qigong Postures aim at spontaneous movement through activating the dantien (energy center in the lower abdomen) and opening the
main channels so that stored emotions can be released and diseased Qi expelled from the body. As a result, spontaneous healing often
occurs on the physical and the emotional level (even past-life trauma may be healed).
Daoyin exercises complement this process
by further expelling diseased energy through movement, breathing and concentration. Different daoyin exercises focus on specific energy
circulations and specific parts of the body that require additional healing.
Qigong Meditation is another method to enhance the
self-healing process. Meditation techniques can help to activate the energy system, eliminate Binqi from the body and heal diseased
and problem areas. In addition, meditation is a powerful tool for transformation. When we are free of disturbing thoughts, negative
emotions and diseased energy, we are more aligned with our Higher Self and so we can eliminate many primary causes of dis-ease.
Qigong for Self Healing
Qigong is a very powerful and proven system for self-healing. The strong healing effect of our Qigong
practice is based on the concept of expelling Binqi ("been chee") or diseased energy from the body. This is done by activating the
internal energy system through Qigong Postures, Daoyin (movement exercises) and Qigong Meditation.
Qigong for Spiritual Integration
Qigong can be very useful for those on a conscious spiritual path.
It is an excellent tool to
integrate the effects of spiritual growth & healing.
Spiritual workshops and healing can resolve deeper issues within yourself
and create a shift in your consciousness. The Energy of the new level of Light that you hold can be quite strong and it often takes
a while before it is assimilated and incorporated in the totality of your being.
Qigong exercises can speed up the process of
integrating your new light quotas. It can also help to minimalize the physical
side-effects of spiritual healing. And we can clean
our Qi or "energy field" from psychic and spiritual debris, which are more subtle forms of energy.
