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.
