Beginning Qigong Classes Starting Soon

I am please to inform you that a new beginning level Qigong class will be starting on September 9, at 11:00 am. Classes will be held at "The Healing Place", 29441 Euclid Ave. Wickliffe, OH. 44092 (Corner of Euclid Ave. and Rockefeller Rd.). The beginning level Qigong (level 1) is 4 weeks, one class per week, about 1.5 hours each. The total cost is $75 for beginning Qigong (4 weeks). This includes both movement forms (standing and basic exercise) and quiet forms (breathing and meditation). Handouts and guided audio CDs for practice will be provided. Students may wish to take notes. Students should wear loose fit clothing. Students should refrain from wearing perfume, cologne, or any other scented products in the studio as a courtesy to those with sensitivities. The classes can be adjusted for any health conditions as needed.

Don't hesitate to invite family and friends to join us for the Beginning Qigong class. The more people that participate means the bigger the energy benefits for everyone (I will explain this later). I look forward to seeing you there.

Qigong Roots

Qigong has its roots in Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM). Qigong has a written history of  more than 3000 years. Some scholars suspect Qigong has been around for 5000 years. Qigong was written about in "The Yellow Emperor's Classic of Medicine" around 3000 years ago. This book describes what is known today as Traditional Chinese Medicine. Some regard Qigong as the Grandfather of TCM.

There are five main branches of Qigong: Taoist (Daoist), Buddhist, Confucian, Martial and Medical. Each of these branches bring a distinct focus to Qigong. Taoist Qigong focuses on health, longevity and immortality. Buddhist Qigong focuses on enlightenment. Confucian Qigong focuses on morality and living in a harmonious society. Martial Qigong focuses on building strength and power for martial arts. Medical Qigong focuses on self healing and the healing of others. Some styles blend some or all of these to create unique systems.

According to my Qigong Master, there are at more than 35,000 forms of Qigong and over 120 different systems. Some forms emphasize external exercise for increasing the energy flow in the body (Wei Dan) and others emphasize more inner or quiet forms (breathing and meditation) for getting and increasing energy flow (Nei Dan). The term Qigong is a very new term for the practice. Originally, the internal forms were referred to as "Tu Na", which translates as "Exhale Inhale". Exercises were later added to the practice for improving health conditions.
