Sheng Zhen Healing Qigong Healing Qigong is an easy method to learn and enjoyable to practice. Performed sitting in a chair, it utilizes the breath, simple movements, and the power of the mind to create a field of powerful healing energy that enables you, the practitioner to shift into a state of increased vitality & awareness. With regular practice, this results in a decrease of pain and accelerated healing.

Sheng Zhen Wuji Yuan Gong -- "Kuan Yin Sitting"-

Kuan Yin Sitting Qigong is one of his original beautiful movement sequences which he has not taught in New York for 5 years. A series of slow, graceful, beautiful movements, it is similar to the traditional forms of Qigong or Taichi in that it gives the same benefits, such as healing and strengthening and balancing the mind and body. But it is much more than that. Far from just being a practice that enhances one¡¦s health and happiness, this Qigong also becomes a vehicle for the transformation of consciousness. In time, it brings one into alignment with the universal energy ¡V the energy of unconditional love.

This Qigong is performed on the floor, so please bring something to sit on such as a mat, pillow or blanket. If you have difficulty sitting on the floor, you can perform it sitting on the chair. No previous experience is necessary.
