About the Gift of Tao Qigong
Over the past several decades, Qigong has become more well known in West. Similar in some respects to Yoga and Tai Chi, it consists of gentle movements and meditation methods to balance and activate the vital life force, Qi, of our body and mind, assisting with health and well-being. At the deeper level, in the form of Qigong called Neigong, it can lead us to reconnecting and acting through our Higher Level Self. For the past 11 years, Chris Gilbert has been practicing Gift of the Tao and Stillness-Movement Neigong as developed by Michael Lomax, who in turn learned from the late Wang Juemin, a Qigong Master who practiced at the Baoding Qigong Hospital in China.
In class, Chris goes over the difference between using mental force versus direct engagement with the Qi, then leads people through the best Qigong movements for activating Qi, and progresses to sitting and standing meditations that connect one to Earth and Heaven Qi, and from there to their Higher Level Self.
About Chris Gilbert
Chris Gilbert is a state licensed massage therapist and certified in Clinical Qigong as taught by Michael Lomax.
Having always had a deep interest in Eastern modalities and holistic health, in 2011 Chris attended a Qigong workshop that included clinical applications, and was absolutely floored by the power of the positive physical and mental effects it had on him. He decided that he wanted to share such treasures with others as well.
Chris helps alleviate pain and assist clients in reaching their optimum state of dynamic health. Some common ailments he addresses are back and neuropathic pain, migraines, diabetes, emotional distress, sciatica, and many other physical and energetic maladies that interfere with being able to access our true selves. Furthermore, his greatest satisfaction comes from seeing a client's eyes light up as they witness the potential of Clinical Qigong, bringing them back to the same wonder at they magic of the Universe we experience in childhood.
Sessions can be in person or at a distance, and may include hands-on progressive stretching and acupressure along the meridians from Traditional Chinese Medicine. Chris also teaches Qigong movements that can aid you in long-term health and spiritual growth, giving you the power to connect with your own true nature.
