Taoist Healing - Qigong Tui Na

Andrew Popovic
London
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

Andrew Popovic
London
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.

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.

Art Of Preserving The Transforming Body

Tom Watson
London
Art of Preserving the Transforming Body  (work with the Muscles)
Venue: British School of Shiatsu (www.shiatsu-do.co.uk) Finsbury Park
Cost: £30 before 30 Oct (£35 after)
Info:According to Daoist tradition, the transforming body (the  muscles) function as the main reservoir for accumulating and  distilling the vital qi energy.  Its role in Daoist Alchemy is  considered of great significance due to its large volume within the  physical body (up to 50% in men and 35% in women).

This short course will provide an introduction to a technique that  allows you to reconnect the physical body of the muscles to the  mind through relaxation and concentrated effort.

Venue: Expressions Studios (www.expressionsstudios.com) Kentish Town
Cost: £125 before 30th Oct (150 after)
