EXTERNAL QI HEALING: HOW TO BE AN EFFECTIVE HEALER CANCELLED

with Qigong Master Kenneth "Gao Han" Cohen

Saturday, June 9^th - Sunday, June 10^th ~ 11am - 6pm (with a lunch break from 1 - 3pm)

External Qi Healing (EQH) is at the core of China's ancient, sacred science of qigong. In EQH, healing energy is projected from the palms and, without physically touching the client, directed into an area of disease, distress, or pain.

First we will learn a complete personal qigong practice - exercises and meditations that cleanse the body of imbalanced or unneeded energy and recharge it with vitality. Personal practice prepares and centers the healer and increases sensitivity to qi (life energy). Then we will learn the methods of EQH health assessment and specific therapeutic gestures used to treat imbalance.

Studies conducted in both China and the West clearly demonstrate that EQH is not dependent on a client's belief system or culture. It has been found effective for a wide range of illnesses and does not require knowledge of Chinese medicine. The system is based on harmony and communion with natural forces. It is safe, easy to learn, and may be used as a complementary therapy with both conventional and alternative medicine. It greatly increases the efficacy of massage therapy, acupuncture, reiki, and therapeutic touch. External Qi Healing awakens the healing and helping power in everyone. 

We will explore both the scientific and transpersonal, spiritual dimensions of EQH, including how to open the body and mind to the universal well of Healing Power in Nature, so that the healer is never in danger of depleting his or her own resources. EQH is more than a science of healing; it changes the way we view our selves and the world.

This workshop is open to beginners and all levels.

Your Investment: $325^+hst or $275^+hst for registration before May 5^th
