QI GONG

The ultimate Three Treasures medicine! Qi gong translates as ‘energy work’, work that builds the Three Treasures through perseverance and practice  It is a special gift from China, a 5,000 year old energy technology that has been largely kept secret until recently. It is physiological alchemy.

You may be familiar with the tai qi form of qi gong, but there are thousands of different styles, ranging from fire-style martial arts to water-style gentle movement to sitting meditation styles.

Qi gong corrects, organizes and frees the qi flow in the body, and helps you learn to feel it more conscious. It trains and strengthens the ‘muscle’ of our consciousness to choose and manage our internal mental environment more intentionally, because when it gets down to it, all we can truly control is our inner world. This is called cultivation in the qi gong tradition, because it turns the chaotic weed patch of our inner world into a fruitful garden.

The main style Carolyn teaches, Qi Induction Qi Gong, does many things, but especially opens, clears and nourishes the three energy centers in the head, heart and abdomen, the halls that house our Three Treasures.

Since qi gong balances the yang and yin, the sympathetic and parasympathetic nervous systems, it is energizing and calming at the same time. It is like doing acupuncture to yourself every day! Qi gong is the safest medicine, free to do every day once you learn it, and   anyone can do it . We provide qi gong classes in Joshua Tree, as well as private training.
