A Little Intro To Our Qigong Program

As you may know, qigong (pronounced chee-gung) is a system of energy development and health maintenance. At Harmony Healthworks we offer a whole system of qigong. Here's a description of one of our basic sets.

Qigong Programs

Energy Gates

Certain skills must be learned as foundation for more advanced practices. The most basic of these is to develop a relaxed and aligned posture from which you can release your tension. Energy Gates has four components and is an entire system of personal development by itself.

The first of these is Standing Practice. Standing Practice teaches the Inner Dissolving while developing a relaxed and aligned with gravity posture. In addition, you will learn the location of many of the important energetic points of the body. The dissolving process is then used on these points to release blockages in the body, mind, and spirit.

Cloud Hands will teach you how to use the skills developed in the standing practice while the body is in motion. It also introduces the basics of spiraling energy for personal health and power, by unifying the limbs and body.

The Three Swings further open the body and energize the three energy centers in the body.

The Spine Stretch is the introduction to Spinal Neigong and is one of the most important exercises we teach. This gentle relaxation set teaches you to identify and release spinal problems and starts the process of moving the cerebral-spinal fluid for greater health and clarity.
