Qi Gong Retreat

Hello,
I have been talking about qi gong lots in my blog and have realized that it may not be clear what qi gong is.  Well, qi gong has been around since Chinese medicine. It is a part of Chinese medicine that involves qi exercises. It strengthens our qi and helps to keep healthy qi in and used qi out. More people have heard of tai chi. Tai chi came from qi gong. Today there are many forms of qi gong that are to be practiced at different times of day, times of month or times of year.
Now for an update on what has been going on in my qi gong training world. A week ago, I finished a 5 day qi gong training/ retreat in Damascus, OR. It was amazing. We learned 2 different forms, golden tree meditation, and walking qi gong. The walking qi gong has evolved over the last 100 years. It is done often in the parks in China by those dealing with cancer or other health issues. In good time I will be sharing and teaching such forms in my acupuncture practice.
I am practicing qi gong daily. So if you are in need of some good qi, come get an acupuncture treatment.
To your health and healing journeys.
