Originally, Qigong meant “nurturing life.” Today, it can be seen as an “art of longevity and vitality.”

Qi signifies the energetic presence, the life force which flows, can be felt within our bodies and our environment, like a sunrise where you can have a sense of aliveness. It is the energy that makes up everything in the universe. Gong refers to the skill and the power which gives a sense of accomplishment and provides service.

So Qigong is the art of developing, understanding, and cultivating Qi, the Life Energy that is meritorious, provides services to others with a sense of accomplishment.

Qigong is an ancient healing practice integral to Chinese medicine. It involves breathing techniques, slow movements, exercises, postures, visualization, and meditation.

Qigong helps regulate, release, enhance, or transform the life force. The benefits include reducing stress, calming the mind, and facilitating a deeper connection with oneself. It helps to be present in the body and more grounded. This practice enhances flexibility on all levels of the being, improving health and well-being. Even the spirit can feel in harmony with the universe.

“Meditation is the journey from sound to silence, from movement to silence, from limited identity to unlimited space” Sri Ravishankar

Practicing Qigong in nature can amplify feelings of openness, connection to the elements, and a sense of belonging, of being part of Mother Earth, in embracing nature’s beauty

“I really love practicing Qigong daily as it gives me a felt sense of aliveness in the entire body, it is like a smiley body. My mood is uplifted, often I feel in tune with the environment, with myself. I had deep pain a few years ago in my neck, shoulders and lower back. Today I don’t feel them anymore, only when my body wants to tell me something clearly enough for me to take action!”

Weekly Qigong classes are available in private or group settings. This practice can also be integrated into seminars or weekly groups, complementing meditations as well as classes on interpersonal communication and relationship mentoring.

Additionally, it can be offered alongside a Reiki attunement.
