Join me for Qi Gong Practice
I am certified to teach qigong and Tai Chi Easy through the Institute of Integral Qigong and Tai Chi (IIQTC). I lead monthly qigong practice at Bluff Lake Nature Center in Denver and am part of a group of instructors who lead practices as part of Global Healing Circles. Contact me if you are intersted in joining us. or if you’d like to discuss a qigong workshop for your group.
Qigong – What is it?
Qigong is a healing practice that works on mind, body, emotions, and spirit. It enhances the body’s own healing abilities. It is grounded in Traditional Chinse Medicine which understands that blocks in the flow of qi energy is the root cause of many illnesses and negative emotional states.
Qigong has hundreds, perhaps thousands, of practices. These include meditations, movements, breath work, and massage. The unifying theme with all of them is the goal of removing/dissolving blocks in qi energy to create harmony in the body.
I love qigong because it is so accessible. Beginning practices are easy to learn and can be adapted if someone has limited mobility or injuries. But all of the practices can lead to deep and profound changes and healing.
Qigong’s Connection to the Green World
Qigong is intimately connected to nature as practices developed by observation natural phenomenon and the flow of energies in the green world. Practicing outdoors when possible is ideal for tuning into and cultivating qi energy.
