We'll cover four different advanced healers hands-on techniques:

  • Two Handed Clearing Very efficient method for clearing out blockages and developing inner vision.
  • Balancing Five Elements involves using color to see the organs and meridians inside the body to clear out invasion of Heat, Dampness, Dryness, Cold, and Wind. This is a technique that I learned from Master Hong in Los Angeles.
  • Qi Circulation involves creating a flow of Qi following the natural meridian flow through the limbs and torso. This is an adaptation of a technique that I also learned from Master Hong.
  • Body Release involves finding trapped currents of Qi inside the body and releasing them to improve Qi flow through restrictions. This is an adaptation of using the CranioSacral rhythm for Qi Gong Healing.

    Four Powerful Qi Gong Meditations:

  • Circulate Universal Qi Meditation
  • Buddha Mind Meditation
  • Enlightenment Meditation - Upper and Lower Dantian Meditation
  • Spontaneous Qi Gong Standing Meditation

    as well as:

  • More than 40 Trigger Point stretches for specific pain patterns in the body based on the teachings of Janet Travell. You will get amazing results from these stretches!
  • Practices in Presence: Utilize the information taught in The Power of Now by Eckhart Tolle and Present Moment Wonderful Moment by Thich Nhat Hanh to create a state of presence and learn practical ways for teaching people these techniques during your healing sessions. We will focus on how to teach these techniques so please read and be familiar with both books prior to attending this seminar.
