Please join us to learn the deeply meditative sitting, standing, lying down, or moving forms of Zhineng Qigong. This type of Qigong focuses on the mind, body, and the spirit as one, helping the practitioner to heal on all three levels, which is necessary for real, long-term healing. Zhineng Qigong works with the energy field of the group, creating a very strong energy field that greatly speeds up the healing process.
At this workshop we will also learn how to gather more energy, to unblock congested areas of energy, how to conserve our energy, to find emotional balance through the 5 organs and through changing our daily mental and emotional habits that don?t contribute to our health.
The following will be taught:
-Lift Qi Up, Pour Qi Down - This is a moving meditation to gather healing Qi and to release unhealthy Qi.
-La Qi - This is a sitting mediation also teaching gathering and releasing, but also how to increase the physical awareness of Qi How we can change our emotional reactions to life's difficulties through a change in habits, as well by experiencing life on an energetic level.
-Crane's neck - a movement of the neck that opens the Qi, helping relieve sinus problems, allergies, and general tension.
-Chen Qi -a movement of the shoulder blades (which we never move) to open the Qi flow throughout the body and to accelerate healing from many illnesses.
There will be a 45 minute lunch break. Please bring your own lunch and water bottle. It is important to not eat a heavy meal, and to eat healthy foods. We will provide hot teas, apples, oranges, bananas, grapes, cheese and crackers for snacks. If you are working on becoming more healthy or if you have a serious illness, please come and experience this practice that has been so effective in China, and more recently in the U.S.
To register, please call 812-923-7661 and leave your name, phone, address, and email or register online Deborah@WillowPondHealingCenter.com.
