Therapeutic Qi Gong, an internal or soft medical Qi Gong, aids in recovering from traumatic injuries, enhancing physical abilities, breathing, and mental acuity.

Dr. Zhuang Yuan Ming, a trauma specialist at the Government Hospital in Shanghai, developed this QiGong set during the 1960s and 1970s. He combined his expertise in modern medicine and scientific principles with ancient Chinese martial arts, breathing techniques, and Taoist movement practices to create this unique practice.

Set 1 consists of 18 slow, deliberate exercises that progressively increase in intensity to target specific muscle groups and isolated joints. These exercises are synchronized with the breath and deliver constant stimulation to the internal organs and the sympathetic nervous system. This stimulation leads to a positive impact on the entire body, encompassing physical, mental, and emotional well-being. Enhanced oxygen circulation and toning the vagus nerve contribute to this holistic effect.

In a small intimate group you will learn to:

• do each move gently and properly, guiding and guided by your own body

• synchronize breathing with your movements

• pull back from pain, achieve progress in comfort

• learn intricate details of the simple moves

• incorporate visualization and guided imagery

• understand how energy flow influences ability

• co-ordinate your mental focus, breathing, and movements
