Founded over 5000 years ago, Qigong uses gentle movement, meditation, visualization and sounds to open the mind-body connection to revitalize joy and wellness. 

“If you want to be healthy and live to 100, do Qigong.” Dr. Oz said to Oprah.

What Happens to Inner Power? Life, illness and injury can wear at our vitality, joy and wellness. Qigong rejuvenates these youthful qualities and makes them accessible to all ages and abilities through work, home and health challenges. 

As we deal with increasing personal and world challenges, Qigong can help us cultivate our ability to transform these fears and negative emotions.

Master Gu Master Gu will bring his joyous teachings and extensive master skills to train your ability to expand wisdom and energy. Born and raised in China, Master Gu received extensive Qigong training and experience at the largest Qigong medicine-less hospital in China, which has a documented 95% success rate. He has mastered the unique ability to lead the collective energy field to accelerate personal and global healing. Named The Qigong Master of the Year by the World Congress for Qigong and TCM, Mingtong Gu leads retreats and workshops internationally. Master Gu is the author of key books and the Pure Qi Online series that translate the ancient teachings of Wisdom Healing Qigong for contemporary times. 

He founded the Chi Center, now based at the EarthRise at IONS in Petaluma, CA to bring Qigong wisdom to benefit others, based on his success working with all ages and many physical and emotional challenges.   
 

Why Sound Healing?

"These ancient healing sounds/vibrations will create 'the frequency of love' in each organ and cell and further reaching DNA helix, which, in addition to providing health benefits, opens the portals to emotional and spiritual transformation." —Mingtong Gu

Dr. Leonard Horowitz is a world famous author of 15 health science books, and Harvard graduated public health expert. According to Dr. Horowitz, all healing occurs from sonic waves or vibrations, specific frequencies of sound, resonating throughout the universe. He claims that human cells use DNA, like radios use antennae, to receive the note vibrations and attune the body’s rhythm to that of the cosmos.

This is echoed by Dr. Candice Pert, PhD, who states that energy and vibration go all the way to the molecular level. She further states that we have 70 different receptors on the molecules -- and when vibration and frequency reaches that far, they begin to vibrate. This vibration, which happens at the cellular level, opens the chromosomes and exposes the DNA to the frequencies.

The only true way to know is to experience it directly!

 Vlad   Musician Vlad Cardema will play the Didgeridoo. This powerful wind instrument developed over 1500 years ago in Australia, resonates with the deep Qigong movements and sound that were developed over the past 5000 years in China.

Dear Friends,

It has been almost a year since we gathered for Sound Healing at the Marin Civic Center and created a profoundly vibrant chi field with 600+ people. It was an amazing day and evening of awakening, celebrating and embodying the energy of joy and healing!

This September 25, 2011 we are inviting you to join us again for this Event of the Year

Awaken Your True Power of Vitality, Joy and Wellness

This exciting and affordably priced event is our annual chance to co-create the largest qigong event in the Northern California while activating a truly powerful chi field to Heal Ourselves, Heal Our World!

The Dalai Lama was asked, “What thing about humanity surprises you the most?”

His answer was: “Man, because he sacrifices his health in order to make money. Then he sacrifices his money to recuperate his health. Then he is so anxious about the future that he doesn’t enjoy the present. As a result, he doesn’t live in the present or the future. He lives as if he’s never going to die. Then he dies having never really lived."

The ancient practice of Qigong was born out of the desire to address this essential dilemma.

For thousands of years these secret teachings were shared with the elite only. Now we are truly fortunate to have open access to this ancient technology of Qigong as a method to reclaim our health and balance our energetic resources.

At the largest Qigong Healing Hospital, our teacher Dr. Pang found three essential keys for activating the true potentials of Qigong: consistent practice, accessing the collective and accumulative chi field and the true power of teachers/healers. While your practice can nourish your life energy in a sustainable way, a strong chi field can amplify the benefits exponentially. A true teacher and healer can assist you to deepen your connection within and realize your true potential.

We thank you for your presence in this healing community and for bringing your friends, family, colleagues and students to share this precious, ancient practice at this time of profound challenges and opportunities as well. Collectively we are creating the life and world we truly desire by turning the wheel of dharma as enlightened human beings love to do.

We hope you’ll share our joy and enthusiasm for this year’s Sept. 25^th event and bring as many friends as you can! With your help, we can make this the Event of the Year!

May Your Heart’s Desire Be Fulfilled

1. How can I benefit if I am a beginner?

Wisdom Healing Qigong has the following quality:

• accessible to all ages, abilities and backgrounds
• universal energy practice requiring no particular belief
• proved effectiveness by contemporary application in large scales with long history of cultivation

So you can benefit and improve from where you at.

2. How can I benefit if I have attended similar event before?

Qigong is about cultivating life energy, learning new information and practice and doing a check list. While you can learn new teaching at each event and deepening your connection with the practice, you benefit more deeply by participating in the group energy field like this large community healing event. WHQ brings about greater benefit through cultivating a collective and accumulative healing chi field. You can deepen your practice and enjoy greater benefit, more than your last time.

3. Can I attend this event if I am sick or not feeling well?

This is the main reason for you to receive benefit of coming to Qigong event which is focusing on healing. While Qigong has the benefit of fitness, illness prevention and wellness, it expands your healing to much greater capacity. You need to bring some blanket to ly down when you need at the event.
