Medical Qigong & Energy Healing in Boulder, CO
through balance and harmony
Welcome to Qigong
Qigong is an ancient practice utilizing movement and stillness to bring awareness and breath to the flow of vital life-force energy (Qi) through the channels of the body. At Full Presence Qigong in Boulder, CO, we offer services including Medical Qigong, Meridian Bath, Spinal Cleansing, Qigong Classes, and Psychedelic Integration, all rooted in the Chinese 5-element philosophy of biology as well as Taoist ideology. The slow movements are gentle yet dynamic and encourage holistic wellness of the physical, mental, and energetic bodies.
Benefits of Qigong
Qigong is one of the foundational practices of Taoism and a path toward living in harmony with the natural flow of life. As a Holistic practice, Qigong explores how Qi—life-force energy present within and around all living beings—moves through the body, emotions, mind, and spirit. Through energy healing, practitioners learn to recognize where energy flows freely and where it becomes blocked, creating opportunities for greater balance and well-being. Qigong also supports Spiritual & Chakra awareness by helping individuals connect with their energetic centers and deepen their understanding of themselves. Combined with Meditation, the practice cultivates stillness, awareness, and harmony, allowing fresh energy to move through the body and supporting greater vitality, healing, and inner alignment.
Medical Qigong
Practitioners of medical Qigong are highly skilled in recognition, movement, and organization of Qi. Using the Lao Gong points (located in the palms of the hands), a practitioner will assess the energetic composition of a client, deciphering any blockages, leaks, attachments, and other disturbances in their field. The practitioner then becomes a channel through which Qi is able to be directed through the body to bring balance and restore order throughout. The flow of Qi is restored and tonified to a fluid and vital state which is the basis for holistic harmony and wellbeing.
Medical Qigong also analyzes, balances, and fortifies the health of the 5-elements and each of the correlating organs. This work is informed by deep study of the bodily systems, organ channels, 5-elements principles (Traditional Chinese Medicine philosophy of biology), and other esoteric yet irrefutable constructions of energetic frequencies within the body and being.
Medical Qigong is excellent for addressing a variety of emotional and psychological imbalances including stress, anxiety, depression, and insomnia. It can also help heal the physical body from injury, chronic pain, and trauma. This modality uses minimal-touch and is done with a client in a relaxed position on a treatment table. The client normally leaves feeling relaxed while simultaneously feeling rejuvenated and energized.
This is a brief description of an ancient practice that takes many years to learn and a lifetime to master.
Qigong Classes
Guided form flow classes allow students of all ages, skill levels, and abilities to begin to become familiar with their own Qi through instructed movement. The forms bring awareness and connect the breath to kinetic movement relative to the flow of Qi through the body. The slow movements are gentle yet dynamic and encourage active participation in one’s own holistic wellness of the physical, mental, and energetic bodies.
Each form is selected for its nourishing, balancing, and tonifying effects and are reflective of the current season. Certain forms are pertinent year-round and will be often used, allowing for a gradual building of familiarity with these forms, while others flow in and out throughout the year according to the changing needs of the students.
Light commentary from the instructor illuminating key aspects and purposes of certain forms as well as a background of the three Tan Tiens and relevant 5-elements themes and corresponding seasons is given throughout the class to enrich understanding.
This is a meditative class which requires concentration and openness and is open to all students, novice through advanced, who would come to benefit from it, including elders, those seeking healing from illness or injury, and those physically disabled.
Classes are offered in-person and online.
Mondays 7-8 pm & Fridays 8:30-9:30 am
