Qigong for a Happy Heart with Master Mingtong Gu
In Qigong for a Happy Heart, you will be given essential daily practices from Wisdom Healing Qigong — the specific lineage taught in this program — which will help you take better energetic care of your body and establish a new baseline of health and happiness for a long and vibrant life.
You’ll learn about the role of Qi energy and how to connect heart, mind and body to cultivate abundant Qi flow for your health, healing and daily life. When your heart is joyful, your energy is flowing freely, helping you feel more creative, resilient, positive and engaged.
You’ll receive specific teachings and daily practices designed to help you awaken your happy heart, celebrate the goodness inherent within you, and discover your true capacity to skillfully manage your health, happiness and stress levels.
And if you’re already experiencing the benefits of Qigong, you’ll discover new techniques as well as opportunities to refine your current practice. A happy heart is defined not only emotionally but also through its role in shaping the body, mind and spirit. The teachings of Wisdom Healing Qigong remind us that when your heart is happy, you can dance through life with a greater sense of peace and fulfillment.
The Importance of an Authentic Teacher
During Qigong for a Happy Heart, you’ll have the special privilege of studying with Master Mingtong Gu, one of the world’s pre-eminent teachers of Qigong for more than 20 years.
Master Gu is renowned for his teachings and healings with people of all ages, including many living with trauma, illness and aging challenges.
Through The Chi Center, the organization Master Gu built in the West, he has trained thousands of students and teachers to work with Qi in ways that produce tangible, real-world results.
Over seven weeks, you’ll take a journey with Master Gu into Wisdom Healing Qigong fundamental teachings, gentle movements, ancient healing sounds, and meditations.
You’ll benefit not only from his verbal teachings but also from video-recorded exercises that demonstrate the proper movements, sounds and ways to direct the flow of energy.
You’ll discover how to circulate Qi to weaker parts of your body and deepen your understanding of the energetic connections between your body, emotions and spirit.
You’ll also work with the principle of “integrative oneness,” which allows you to truly experience your consciousness, heart, body and mind as a united whole.
These principles of energetic healing can help you address and heal any underlying issues that can result in imbalance, disharmony and disease.
Through video, Master Gu will illuminate the philosophical and practical components of working with Qi — and give you simple practices and positions that allow you to connect with the energy that supports and nourishes your heart, body, mind and spirit. (Video connection will be easy to use, but you can also participate via audio if you prefer or if it is necessary.)
Your Unfolding Qigong Journey
In the first week, you’ll be given a video in which Master Gu demonstrates how to begin to awaken your happy heart. Each subsequent week you’ll progress, with Master Gu’s guidance, through Qigong’s physical, mental, emotional and spiritual dimensions.
Through video, audio and text teachings and tools, you’ll have everything you need to start and develop a personal daily practice to cultivate a happy heart and a deep sense of inner joy. Your personal practice is further supported by video/audio practice sessions and materials available 24/7 at the class portal.
Your daily Qigong practice can also help release stress, strengthen body resilience and posture, increase mental clarity, and awaken awareness of self and others.
So you can take your learning and practice even deeper, you can ask Master Gu whatever questions you have anytime throughout the course. Master Gu will answer your submitted questions in the Q&A sessions at the end of each class and answers to common questions will also be posted to your Course Homepage.
No prior experience with Qigong or energy practices is needed to participate in this course. Wisdom Healing Qigong is suitable for all ages and abilities and can be done sitting, standing or lying down. It is also highly compatible with other energy practices such as yoga, tai chi, acupuncture and meditative practices. Comfortable clothes are recommended, but special exercise clothes or mats are not needed.
