Wondering about Qi?
The awareness of qi and moving practices such as qi gong and tai chi bring many health benefits as noted in several evidence-based studies and research journals. The practice of qi gong dates back thousands of years. According to Chinese medicine, qi is energy or life force that flows throughout the body. Working with qi can lead to relaxation, peace, and calm. Qi gong (energy practice) and tai chi form connect body, mind, and breath to facilitate the movement of qi throughout the body rather than allowing for stagnation that may cause pain or disease. Harvard Medical Publishing, the Tufts Nutrition Newsletter, the American Heart Association, and the Arthritis Foundation reported that the complementary use of eastern and western medicine improves balance, strength, flexibility, and mobility. In several studies, practicing qigong, and tai chi have been effective in chronic medical conditions such as heart disease, arthritis, hypertension, and sleep problems as well as stress, anxiety, and depression.
Wonders of Qi Workshop - 2 consecutive Saturdays
November 9 and 16 from 9 a.m. - 2 p.m.
Martinsville Community Center, Martinsville, NJ
In this workshop, we will learn about the characteristics of qi. We will practice still and gentle moving methods that allow us to cultivate or gather qi in the body, move it throughout the body, and cleanse qi. Instruction will be a combination of explanations, detailed demonstrations, and practice. This experiential workshop will offer guided practice of each qi method with one teacher facilitating instruction and another teacher offering individual attention. Patty Pagano, local tai chi and qi gong certified teacher and qi healer for 15 years, will lead the facilitation along with Judy Bianco who is certified in qi healing, therapy, and teaching.
