Master Wu’s CD on 3 Treasures Shamanic Healing was very enlightening, I really have been able to center myself and found some peace and harmony in myself that was not there before. I am going to try one of his DVD’s next. Thanks !

Your brief explanation of qigong surely helped me understand the relationship between tai chi and qigong and what the differences or misconceptions are. Great and insightful post!

Dana,

Did the link in the article above not help? Here it is again if you missed it http://www.ehow.com/how_2031516_qigong-practitioner.html

You might also try simply Google searching “qigong” along with “michigan” and see if any of those practitioners are near you. When you call a likely candidate, be sure to find out what style of Qigong they teach and do a little research before hand to see if it is a style that would suit you.

Best of luck,

Eric

[...] I just got back from a QiGong retreat this weekend. As part of our program at NCNM, we learn Qigong within a specific lineage that we are privileged to access via one of our program founders, Heiner Fruehauf. It’s an amazing addition to our education. We take a practicum each term where once a week we learn from a teacher and are encouraged to have our own practice outside of class. We learn many forms as well as therapeutic applications of various movements that we can teach our patients. But the crown jewel of the Qigong portion of our education is the Qigong retreats. Once a term (so about every 3.5 months) we go to a beautiful natural area for three days with our teacher and our classmates and do Qigong for many hours a day. I’ll go into the retreats in another entry, but this time I’d like to talk about something else. Before you read, you might want to check out my recent entry discussing the nature and practice of Qigong. [...]

An interesting side note, according to Dr. Yang Jwing Ming, the ancient character for qi breaks down into something like “no fire.” Something to ponder.
