What is Spring Forest Qigong?
What is Qigong?
Qigong is the cornerstone of traditional Chinese medicine. It has been practiced in China for over five thousand years and has proven effective in the prevention and cure of many diseases. Over 240 million Chinese people practice Qigong, yet unlike acupuncture, acupressure, herbal medicine and tai chi, it remains a mystery to most Americans and others in western cultures. Qigong is a discipline that combines mental concentration, breathing techniques and body movements to activate and cultivate a person's "vital energy." In Chinese, Qi or Chi (pronounced "chee") means "air" or "breath, vital energy and the universal force that is in all things." Gong is defined as "work, the function or benefit of this energy."
Qigong, like other holistic healing modalities, promotes the philosophy that a person's mind, body, and spirit are interconnected. Qigong also teaches that energy moves through channels or meridians in the body. Illness or pain can be a result of blockages or changes in the Qi and channels. The practice of Qigong can enhance health and life by opening blockages and improving the flow of energy in the mind, body and spirit.
What is Spring Forest Qigong?
Spring ForestQigong is an advanced, simple and powerful form of Qigong. It was founded in 1994 by Master Chunyi Lin. He developed his program after studying and practicing Qigong and Tai Chi for over twenty years with some of the world's most prominent and powerful masters. He has earned a certificate as an International Qigong Master. Master Lin found that there are thousands of Qigong exercises practiced in China and around the world and determined that most of these techniques were too complicated and time-consuming for the average person to learn and practice easily. He also recognized that learning, understanding and acceptance are increased when the meaning or impact of each exercise and technique are explained.
The conceptual and practical instruction included in Master Lin's program provides his students with a unique learning opportunity. The Spring Forest Qigong program, a series of four courses, is a significant part of Master Lin’s plan and vision of "a healer in every family and a world without pain."
