I held a workshop in my home today. I had invited friends and family to learn about making an elderberry syrup to use during the cold and flu season. The format I had in my mind would be fantastic: Harvesting berries from the backyard.

I really enjoyed reading about all the things you do. We have a lot of similarities.

Why I love qigong.....wow....Lots of reasons! But, to keep it manageable:
1- I very strongly believe in the mind-body connection. I think that if we could all get beyond our education and conditioning that we need a doctor to provide us with health solutions, we could effect our own healing through visualization and the intention of creating excellent health.
2 - I love teaching qigong because in a group, I believe that the accumulated qi/chi is beneficial for all the people who are there and that when a group like that is focused on the same outcome (i.e. good health) the participants all receive additional benefits from the increased energy and intention toward wellness.
3- It really restores a person's power to point out that qigong is the Self-Healing aspect of Chinese medicine. We all have the power to self-heal, we just need to take back that power which includes really taking responsibility for who we are and what we do and how we do it.
Hope that answers your question! :-)
Good luck with your acupuncture program. :-)
So glad you made it here. Let the light shining commence.
Love you!
