Saturday & Sunday

According to the classical qigong tradition, there is only one disease: qi stagnation. This fundamental principle of traditional Chinese medicine is described to us in the HuangDiNeiJing/黃帝內經: BuTongZeTong/不通則痛 – if there is no flow, there is disease. Qi stagnation (or loss of qi flow) forms irregular patterns in the energetic, mental and/or physical planes of the body. Left unchecked, qi stagnation will manifest as the myriad of diseases known to modern medicine. By learning to transform areas of stagnation back to free-flowing harmonious qi, we work to recover our health and sense of wellbeing.

In China’s esoteric EMeiZhenGong/峨嵋真功 (Mt Emei SageStyle) school, transforming areas of qi stagnation is the key to healing illness and imbalance. Guided by the principles of the Yijing/易經 (I Ching), this classical qigong therapy promotes the harmonious qi throughout the body, optimises the function of the organ systems, awakens the shen/神, and brings balance to the physical and mental bodies.

This qigong session will be of interest to practitioners looking for a simple, yet powerful tool for spiritual awakening and helping themselves and their patients overcome disease.

Master Zhongxian Wu, a lifelong Daoist practitioner, is the lineage holder of four different schools of qigong and martial arts. Since 1988, Master Wu has instructed thousands of students, both eastern and western, in his unique and professionally designed courses and training programmes. He is author of twelve books (five in Chinese), with his thirteenth book due to be published in August 2019, all on Chinese wisdom traditions. He and his wife, Dr Karin Taylor Wu, founded Blue Willow World Healing Center and QinJian Akademin to preserve and promote the classical Chinese arts throughout Europe, North America and China. For more information, please visit www.masterwu.net
