Dear Qigong and Tai Chi enthusiasts,


NEWS

I am still unpacking my new apartment in my new location in North Carolina, but little-by-little everything is moving toward completion.

It is helpful in life, whether making a major change or simply living your life, to reassess from time-to-time, and ask yourself what goals you have . . .

To ask what you are passionate about and how you can make small actions today to manifest your dreams.

What are you passionate about?

What do you hope to achieve in life?

What steps can you take today to start to make your dreams come true?

Maybe it is a new craft project.

Maybe it is starting to work on that book that you always wanted to write, but never found the time.

Maybe it is taking your dream vacation.

What steps can you take today to start to bring your dreams to reality?

I hope you are all finding joy in life and finding a way to move forward!

For those interested in invigorating your life with fresh qigong, the Basics 4 course starts soon.

Basics 4 course is starting this upcoming weekend:  August 30-31 + September 6-7 weekends.

Qigong Meditation Basics 4 is about advanced grounding and healing light practices.

I would love to see you join!

QIGONG MEDITATION BASICS 4 ONLINE -- Starts This Weekend:  Sat-Sun August 30-31, 2025!

Learn to stabilize your body and mind in "Embracing the Tree"

Coming up August 30-31 + September 6-7 is our fourth level basics class Qigong Meditation Basics 4. 

It does require background, but it is open enrollment to all, even if you did not have the previous three Basics courses with me.

If you had some basics elsewhere, you are welcome to jump in.

Note:  Basics 4 is the last open enrollment class.  Higher-level qigong coursework (Basics 5 and the Healing Love sequence) are restricted enrollment to those that at least had Basics 4, with each subsequent class requiring the previous class for permission to enroll.

This Basics 4 class starts the dive into the "Advanced Basics Material", where we learn advanced grounding and Healing Light practices.

Even for people who think they know the basics, you will see there is a lot to learn in this class.

Qigong Meditation Basics 4, reviews the practices of Qigong Meditation Basics 3 and goes beyond that third course to deepen our grounding, review the healing light practices, and to start exploring qi self-massage methods to rejuvenate the senses.

Topics include:

1.  Review of QMB3 healing light methods:  learn a variety of methods to awaken the healing light, for both brain rejuvenation and for spiritual awakening.

2.  Review of QMB3 qigong methods + more:  Phoenix, Iron Bridge, Embracing the Tree, Tao Yin sets #1 and #2, and Three Fires & Six Directions Form. 

Also we introduce Tao Yin set #3.

3.  Advanced Qi Ball Meditation Methods:  Counterforce Breathing + Advanced Orbit Techniques

4.  Introduction to Iron Shirt 1, continuing to develop further new standing meditation techniques to get grounded and strengthen the kidneys

5.  Introduction to Wisdom Qigong, a protocol designed to help rejuvenate the brain

6.  Introduction to Qi Self-Massage, a sequence of simple seated self-massage techniques to rejuvenate the senses

This two-weekend online class in Qigong Meditation Basics 4 is only $295 for both weekends.  The weekends run 9:30am-5:30pm Eastern time (6:30am-2:30pm Pacific, 3:30pm-11:30pm Central European time), with a lunch break in the middle.

By the way, each student will receive an Attendance Certificate (upon completion of course), which can be used toward Associate Instructor certification, with either myself or another registered Senior Instructor when your hours are completed.

For those that wish to become Associate Instructors, the Basics sequence is part of the required training . . .

To assist in ongoing learning, I will provide three month access to recordings of qigong practice material, so that once the course is finished, you can continue practicing and reinforcing what you learned.

ONGOING SCHEDULE (SUMMER/FALL 2025)


Tuition is only $295/person for the two-weekend courses (reviewers for two-weekend courses $225, contact me).  Restricted classes require prerequisites and enroll through email to me.
