Qigong (pronounced “chee-gung”) has been practiced in China for many thousands of years, where it is widely accepted as a self-healing method and an effective medical treatment as well. The name literally means “Energy Work or Skill” and covers a wide variety of methods for enhancing one’s Chi (internal energy or life force).  The most common factors are clearing the mind, breathing slowly and deeply from the abdomen while focusing on the Dan tien, which is an energy center in the area of about 3 to 4 finger widths below the navel. This area is called the “Sea of Chi.”   Qigong training has provided me with great health and happiness and I truly want others to experience the same. Whether this help comes from healing Chi or from teaching does not matter, as the intent to help others is still the same. Finally, it is extremely difficult to find quality teaching in this subject, especially in our area. I have been blessed with time and as a result have over 7,000 hours of experience to share not including additional study. I feel that in this regard, the universe has granted me an enormous favor and now it is time for me to return it in kind by sharing my knowledge, experience, energy and time with others.
