dragon & tiger Qigong
Sat 17th July 10am-5pm

CLEAR NEGATIVE ENERGIES - ESPECIALLY THOSE ACQUIRED FROM OTHERS
ATTAIN VIBRANT HEALTH
DEVELOP ENERGETIC POWER

A powerful 1,500 year-old Medical Qigong system that works both with your external energetic field and your acupuncture meridians - you'll become extremely relaxed yet vibrantly energized. You can learn to powerfully project Chi energy from your hands for healing yourself and others, and to develop martial power.

Dragon and Tiger helps clear negative energetic patterning that you may have acquired from other people, especially negative emotional energies and tensions.

It is an excellent introduction to Qigong for newcomers to the Taoist internal arts. It is a particularly useful system for therapists, who often pick up unwanted energies from their patients, and who may wish to be able to feel Chi and project it powerfully.

Suitable for all.

HEAVEN & EARTH Qigong
Sat 24th July 10am-5pm

HEAL NECK, BACK AND JOINT PROBLEMS
ACHIEVE DEEP PHYSICAL AND MENTAL RELAXATION
OPEN YOUR ENERGETIC SYSTEM AND RELEASE BLOCKAGES

Considered the most powerful single-movement Qigong ever created, this is a deep and highly effective Taoist Neigong (inner work) system, yet simple to learn. You will learn to release your spine and spinal ligaments, pulse your joints and internal spaces of the body, gather and release macrocosmic chi and develop the microcosmic orbit of your energy. Its name comes from the practice of unifying the energies of Heaven and Earth in your Tantien energy centre during this practice.

Heaven and Earth Qigong leaves you highly relaxed both mentally and physically, with a great sense of physical comfort. It is extremely effective for healing back and neck problems, and joint disorders. Suitable for all.

This workshop will focus on unifying both the inner and outer yin and yang energies within yourself.

Suitable for all.

taoist healing - qigong tui na
Sat 31st July 10am-5pm

USE YOUR MIND AND ENERGY TO HEAL YOURSELF & OTHERS WITHOUT 'BURNOUT'
DEVELOP YOUR ENERGETIC AND PSYCHIC SENSITIVITY IN AN AUTHENTIC WAY
A SAFE & EFFECTIVE TREATMENT METHOD THAT WILL ENHANCE OTHER THERAPIES

Qigong Tui Na means "Energy Work Pushing and Pulling" in Chinese. What this refers to is the ability to move the Chi energy in both yourself, and another person using your intent and energy, in order to clear blockages and heal disorder.

Very different from the more commonly found external 'Tui Na', this therapy uses minimal external movements and is extremely physically gentle, making it highly suitable for use on sensitive patients.
You will learn to connect with another person's energy in a very real way, develop your ability to perceive blockages and disorder in the patient's energy, and then use energetic pulsing and spiralling techniques to help them restore normal functioning.

The unique methods of Qigong Tui Na allow you to work with a someone's Chi without sacrificing your own energy, preventing the 'burnout' which is so common among therapists. You will also learn special methods to protect yourself from being patterned or influenced by your patient's energies.

This workshop will be of special interest to craniosacral therapists/cranial osteopaths, and all therapists working with their patient's energy, as well as those who might wish to heal friends/family members.

For those interested in sexual qigong, this system can develop your ability to work with your own and your partner's energy at a profound level, and without any risk of energetic damage.

Suitable for all.

dynamic Qigong
Sat 14th august 10am-5pm

GAIN ROBUST HEALTH & VIBRANT ENERGY while Developing FITNESS & FLEXIBILITY
release your mental-emotional patterns - ACHIEVE INNER PEACE & FREEDOM
learn to embrace change and spontaneity, enhance your creativity

Dynamic Qigong allows you to access the health, vitality and spiritual benefits of the more dynamic (and lesser known in the West) Taoist internal arts of Ba Gua Zhang and Hsing-I Chuan, as well as incorporating the core principles of Tai Chi Chuan.

Most people only know of Tai Chi and Qigong, and are therefore only familiar with the more Yin, slow moving Taoist internal arts. Actually there are extraordinary methods to achieve: fluidity at speed; aerobic fitness and body toning while engaging in 'soft' energy practices; the ability to embrace and master the principle of change (essential in daily life); balanced emotions and relaxed mental focus.

This simple fact speaks volumes: Ba Gua and Hsing-I masters usually live longer than Tai Chi masters.

Dynamic Qigong is 100% authentic Taoist Neigong (inner work) incorporating the totally unique methods of these more dynamic internal martial arts - but without you needing to engage in any martial training, focusing purely on the health and spiritual benefits.

Practitioners of Tai Chi and Qigong will find this workshop an eye-opener, that will revolutionise their understanding and practice of the internal arts.

Martial practitioners will find that these methods open the gateway to true internal power.

Beginners will grasp the core principles quickly and start to benefit immediately.

Suitable for all.

THE OPEN TAO
Sat 21st august 10am-5pm

learn how you can attain genuine personal transformation

Special techniques for personal integration will be taught, allowing you to weave together your key aspects of body, energy and mind; and access what can be called Spirit.

Many of the core concepts of Traditional Chinese Medicine will be explained; therapists of all disciplines may find this knowledge of great benefit to their practice.

Don't miss this workshop - this is a rare opportunity to make a leap forward in your development. This sort of open format workshop is rare!

Suitable for all but numbers are strictly limited.

GERMANY SUMMER 2010 WORKSHOPS
with Andrew Popovic

TAI CHI NEIGONG
SUN 25th July 12-7pm - MUNICH, GERMANY

Get more Chi in your Tai Chi with the inner secrets of Taoist energy work

Lernen Sie die Grundlagen daoistischer Energiearbeit
und entwickeln Sie mehr “Chi”

The outer forms of Tai Chi are simply containers for the internal work (Neigong) that develops and balances your Chi, clears blockages and develops mental and emotional stillness and clarity. When the Taoist inner energy techniques are present in your Tai Chi practice, every single movement of your form becomes powerful and healing. This workshop will take you deep into the philosophical and spiritual foundations of Tai Chi, whichever style/form you practice.

In a real sense these Taoist Neigong techniques are the secret keys to progress and success in your Tai Chi practice. This is because they form the inner ‘engine’ of Tai Chi. Without Neigong, Tai Chi is just a physical movement art – with it, it achieves its potential to transform body, energy, mind and spirit.
You will find that the Tai Chi Neigong techniques solve many of the riddles of Tai Chi that may have been holding back your practice.

Learning and integrating Tai Chi Neigong into your practice will help you achieve the full benefits of Tai Chi as well as deepening your fascination and enjoyment of this wonderful art.

This workshop is suitable even for beginners in Tai Chi, as it provides a wonderful foundation for practice. Advanced students will find it takes them to a significantly higher level of ability.
Martial artists will learn to access and develop true internal power.

Suitable for all.

Taoist Qigong for Stress & Vitality
MON 26th July 5-9pm - MUNICH, GERMANY

Master Stress
Calm Your Mind and Emotions
Gain More Vitality and Clarity

Ein Intensiv-Workshop für ”Gestresste”

Qigong means ‘Energy Work’ in Chinese and is the ancient Mind-Body art of achieving superior health, vitality and inner peace. Qigong consists of a combination of physical postures, movement, breathing, and mental intention - to engage all aspects of your being simultaneously.

Of the many forms of Qigong to emerge from China, the ancient Taoist tradition of Lao Tzu (writer of the Tao Te Ching) is particularly profound and powerful. It is incredibly direct and effective, and perfectly suited to the demands of modern life.

By working directly with your breath, awareness, intent, and movement, you can master stress and gain control of your mental and emotional state. Once learned, these techniques require only a few minutes a day to dramatically lower your stress levels and increase your energy. This form of Qigong is known as ‘Neigong’ which means ‘Inner Work’. By working at the deepest levels of your energy and mind, you achieve the greatest results for the least effort.

As well as using these techniques for your own benefit, many of them are easy to teach to friends, family and clients. The knowledge transmitted in this workshop is rare and exceptionally powerful.

Suitable for all.
