Why Practice Qigong?
Medical Qigong is an ancient form of Chinese energetic medicine and is a branch of Chinese Medicine. The methods offer a way to harmonize qi to support the optimal function of the Zang-Fu organs and facilitate free-flowing Qi throughout the body by unwinding knots and removing blockages.
Because each person is unique, each person’s reason for learning Qigong, as well as each person’s Qigong experience, is different. For one student of the Ling Gui School, the initial impetus to learn Qigong came from wanting relief from the debilitating symptoms associated with Fibromyalgia. Another student wanted a deeper connection to life and his place in it. Yet another student wanted a non-impact method of keeping fit and healthy. For everyone, however, this is a journey and the reasons for practicing Qigong evolve as the Qigong experience grows. In the end, Qigong is as large as the universe and just as mysterious and full of surprises. We practice Qigong to return to the harmonies of nature, to our natural place in the universal patterns.
Master Liu He
Master Liu He, world renowned Qigong Master & author, began her Daoist Medical training at the tender age of four under the loving guidance of her grandfather, a highly respected Qigong Master and Chinese Medical Doctor who treated the last emperor of China. By age 14, Liu He had attained the level of Qigong Master and was given permission by her grandfather to teach and perform healing techniques on others, a privilege traditionally reserved only for men. Her life has been dedicated to sharing with others all that has been given to her. Since leaving China in 1989, Liu He has taught Qigong and healing techniques extensively throughout Europe and the United States.

“Master Liu He’s teachings sparkle with intelligence and relevance to our current times while being firmly rooted in a deep tradition. She is rare both as a female qigong Master and as a Master trained within the context of a traditional qigong family from China. While she holds many of the intricate methodologies of Chinese Energetic Medicine and Chinese cultural wisdom, she is also an innovator preparing us to live more aligned with the natural world even in the face of a hyper technological modernity. Her latest form she is sharing with us, The Super Magic Square, combines simple accessible ways to work with acupoints and elegant movements that yoke us to the stars in order to digest the overwhelming amounts of information our brains are subject to from the internet, social media and augmented reality devices which will be more and more a part of our daily life. Master Liu, with great kindness and enthusiasm leads us into the most powerful technology we own, our own body-mind-spirit.”
