How will Qigong transform your health & wellbeing?

Every time you practice as part of our wider online community, you are awakening the capacity inside you to go beyond your own personal limitations; it’s a continuous contribution of healing, not only for yourself, but for the community, for global healing, for life on planet earth. That is the spirit of Qigong.

Heal Your Body

By learning to nurture that energy, release blockages and let it flow, you can affect every aspect of your physical, mental, emotional and spiritual existence. The ultimate cause of all illness, especially chronic disease, is stress. Qigong releases that stress so that you can finally relax and heal.

Increase Your Energy

There are many proven benefits of Wisdom Healing Qigong: more energy leads to better health and has powerful healing effects; more energy lifts you up to greater happiness; more energy creates more abundance in your life.

Resolve Painful Emotions

Through the gentle practices of movement, visualization, sound, breathing, and conscious intention of Wisdom Healing Qigong, you reintegrate your body and mind, reconnecting your energies, and that reconnects you with your own healing capacity to practice this energetic self-care and self-healing of your mind, body, and heart.

Increased Flexibility and Balance

Qigong helps with coordination and body awareness, which can further improve balance and prevent falls. Additionally, the breathing and meditation techniques used in Qigong can help improve concentration and focus, which can also help with balance.

Can Wisdom Healing Qigong heal my unique health challenge?
In Wisdom Healing Qigong, the focus remains on wholeness and integration. Instead of “treating” specific symptoms or conditions, we focus on wholeness, visualizing complete well being physically, emotionally, mentally and spiritually – and allowing the chi to move where it is most needed rather than trying to direct it in a specific pathway. That is why we generally do the same practices for every condition – because we’re focused on wholeness, rather than on conditions.
Are all Qigong systems the same?
Many different schools of Qigong have developed over centuries in China with different teachings and practices.
