4-Days of Qigong Training for $99


On July 24th-27th, 2010 the QI REVOLUTION workshop is coming to Portland Oregon Convention Center.
Because of the low cost ($99) there will be a LOT of people in the healing arts community present.  
Anyone interested in Reiki, Yoga or Natural Healing will be greatly inspired by the power of this event.  


The group energy of 500 people moving as one is utterly indescribable.  
SupremeScience Qigong uses a blend of moving Qigong (like Tai Chi), Pranayama, Tibetan and Taoist Breathing Techniques.
Many of the exercises provide a POWERFUL experience of energy that even skeptics are surprised by.
Anyone can do Qigong and the healing effects are worth your time to learn it.




Aside from Qigong, there is a huge Food-Healing component to the workshop.
Jeff explains it simply, “Food-based healing is the art of using specific foods to reverse specific diseases
Millions worldwide have reversed type 1 & 2 diabetes, cancer, heart disease, asthma, and even have had 
dramatic improvement for children with Autism – with food alone. Naturopathic medicine has proven the 
effectiveness of such natural remedies.”  
During this gathering you will learn this knowledge in precise detail.

PRIMORDIAL QIGONG RETREAT

HEALTHY BODY, AWAKENED MIND

 

La Perla Negra Beach Resort, Costa Rica

 

Kenneth Cohen Master of Qigong

 

November 18-21, 2010

 
PRIMORDIAL QIGONG (Hunyuan Gong) is a powerful system of gentle healing exercises and meditations from China. It is the legacy of Hu Yaozhen, the Taoist priest who coined the term “medical qigong” and helped establish qigong as part of modern Chinese healthcare. Primordial Qigong is Cleansing because it cleanses the body of impure and stagnant energy (qi); Rejuvenating because it recharges the body with fresh healing energy, and circulates energy through the body’s major meridians; and Harmonizing because it creates a feeling of harmonious unity with all that is-- the true Immortality.
At this retreat students will learn:
 
  •         How to practice the rare meditative exercises of Primordial Qigong, taught in exquisite detail with plenty of time for review, including Gathering Solar Energy,Gathering Earth Energy, Purifying the Organs, Dispersing Stagnation, and more

  •         The Healing Benefits of Primordial Qigong

  •         The Human Energy System: how energy flows, why it gets blocked

  •         The Qigong philosophy of health
 
 
This is a rare opportunity to practice qigong in an environment highly conducive to energy development. With a stunning ocean beach in front and jungle behind, we will use qigong as a way to realize the Costa Rican ideal of Pura Vida (Pure Life). The Pure Life is one that is fully lived and enjoyed, in harmony with nature and each other. The course is open to beginners and will be limited to 20 students.
 
Kenneth  Cohen, MA, MSTH (www.qigonghealing.com) is the world-renowned Qigong Master and health educator who first introduced qigong in U.S. medical school education. Author of The Way of Qigong (Random House), best-selling Sounds True home study courses, and more than 200 journal articles, he has been practicing qigong and Tai Chi for more than 40 years. Ken’s work has been sponsored by the American Cancer Society, the Mayo Clinic, the Canadian Ministry of Health, and numerous universities. In 2003, he won the leading international award in energy medicine, the Alyce and Elmer Green Award for Innovation and Lifetime Achievement.
