Class 1: INTRODUCTION TO MEDICAL QIGONG THERAPY AND HEALING

This first class has an emphasis on MQ exercises. These exercises are a basis for creating and maintaining a strong physical, mental and spiritual foundation. Before we can heal others, we must first heal ourselves. As a healing practitioner, we must keep our energy vital, be free of charged emotions and have a strong connection to the divine. These exercises help us to maintain health and vitality, to clear physical and emotional toxins as well as reconnect us with our true spiritual nature. Students will also learn and experience the physical, psychological and spiritual nature of each organ and their associated meridian pathways. Students will begin learning psychological theories that are complementary to this work. All classes consists of both theory and experimental.
 

Class 2: INTRODUCTION TO DIAGNOSIS AND TREATMENT

This second class introduces the student to the basic qigong healing protocols for treating clients including techniques for energy purging, tonifying and regulating. Through meditations and practice, the student will have opportunity to develop their intuitive and perception skills and to practice energy sensing for diagnosis. Students will experience the importance of focused intention; intention leads the mind and the mind leads the qi. Students will also learn protective techniques for their energy field to avoid absorbing toxic qi while treating clients.
