Enjoy the  happy-making and healing movements & meditations of Sheng Zhen Qigong, the Qigong of Unconditional Love!

Before explaining more about qigong and this particular system of qigong specifically, I must tell you that this qigong changed my life.

I know that is a strong statement to make, but it's true. Before attending my first workshop with Master Li Jun Feng in 2006, I had sort of a dark cloud hanging over me. I was self-conscious. Shy. Not one of those bubbly, glowing, happy people. And I didn't know much about qigong at the time. In fact, I thought I probably wouldn't like it, that it would be too serious and uncomfortable. But at that first workshop, I was pleasantly surprised.

The movements were graceful and fluid, and accompanied by inspirational, poetic contemplations. And I loved that we were not only being encouraged to smile and even laugh, but also encouraged to play and have fun with the movements! I felt something shift in me, a letting g o, and an opening. A heart-opening.

I knew from that day on that I wanted to continue this practice and also share it with others. I started practicing regularly along with a DVD, and within just a few weeks, I was one of those happy, glowing, bubbly people. I couldn't believe it! But it was true. I also noticed that I wanted to dance, be more social, really  LIVE and share with others more. I worried less, and I enjoyed life more. I had more confidence and  felt better in my body than I had in years.

So I got on the fast track to becoming an instructor, and I hope that you will check out this qigong if any of my story and/or the description below resonates with you.

 

As for what qigong is, and what Sheng Zhen Qigong is:

  • Qigong (chi-kung) is an ancient form of healing movement and meditation, practiced for thousands of years to improve health and increase longevity.  
  • Reported benefits of Qigong include: Overall well-being and improved health , Peaceful and clear mind , Enhanced immunity , Improved quality of sleep , Increased energy , Improved circulation and blood pressure , Clearer skin and brighter eyes , More positive attitude and improved ability to handle life’s ups and downs , Improved digestion and metabolism, Better balance and coordination
  • Qi (chi) is life force energy. It’s in the air we breathe, the food we eat, and we’re born with it. Qigong is the cultivation of qi, the generation of energy, the exchange of qi with the universe. Gong translates as work, and implies work over time, with regular practice. This is meaningful because the energy exchange with the universe must be practiced regularly. It’s as important and essential to health as eating, drinking, going to the bathroom, and sleeping.
  • Sheng Zhen Qigong (shung jen chi-kung) is a particularly joyful form of qigong that makes this “work” feel less like work and more like play. It enhances physical, emotional, and spiritual well-being through gentle movements and meditations practiced while standing or seated in a chair. The movements are accompanied by meditations or contemplations that express the meaning, or the “flavor” of the movements. Sheng Zhen translates as “the highest truth,” which is unconditional love. Sheng Zhen Gong focuses on opening the heart and simply enjoying the movements and enjoying one’s life. It’s fun, easy, and suitable for all ages and fitness levels.

This Meetup Group: I've started this group to spread Sheng Zhen and to help build a qigong community! In addition to weekly qigong classes (new dates and locations to be announced), I will be offering a Sheng Zhen Qigong and Meditation class at least once a month through this Meetup Group. Beginners are welcome!

The monthly minimum Meetup will consist of Awakening the Soul, an 8-movement seated form with beautiful, inspirational contemplations, and the seated (or lying down) non-moving Zhongtian Yiqi Meditation. Standing qigong forms may also be explored at Meetups at some point in time. All Sheng Zhen practices are suitable for all ages and fitness levels.
