What is the Qigong meaning of wholeness of body, mind and heart? In this introduction to the Wisdom Healing Qigong teachings, Master Gu will guide you in experiential exercises to cultivate your awareness of the interconnectedness of all aspects of your being with the energy all around you.

You’ll start to see how stress and the challenges of life affect your health and wellbeing and your organ systems in particular.

In this first module, you’ll learn:

• About the ancient energy system of Wisdom Healing Qigong.
• Elements of starting a daily Qigong practice at home: movement, meditation, sound and visualization.
• 3 Secrets of Wisdom Healing Qigong.
• Steps for starting a 50-day ‘Gong’ and tips for a dedicated practice that brings results.

In the second session, Master Gu will share teachings and a live practice of the key Qigong heart sounds that can open your heart to lasting happiness. You’ll learn how stress and judgement contract the heart, and about effects of “the story” of an illness, emotional loss or sadness on the cardiovascular system.

In this module, you’ll:

• Learn the movements of Lachi that allow you feel and direct Qi within the body.
• Practice the sounds for opening your heart.
• Explore the Golden Key Teaching of Inner Smile for Meditation.
• Experience more joy and a stronger sense of connection with life.
• Continue your home practice.

Why Opening Your Heart is so Important? An open heart is central to your overall health. It allows you to go beyond the mind, beyond the body and beyond any diagnoses to access greater possibilities for healing and wellness. An open heart helps activate a deeper sense of purpose and, most importantly, helps you tap into more energy, joy, love and harmony. The greatest contribution you can make to your overall wellbeing is to open your heart and infuse your cells, your body and your life with the energy of love and joy. – Master Mingtong Gu

In modern times, the catalysts of fear are just a click away on your smartphone or computer. This fear doesn’t just stay in the mind, it moves into the kidneys, prostate, ovaries and adrenal glands. The Qi becomes frozen.

Master Gu will guide you to rebalance your kidney and reproductive system so that the Qi flows again. A Qigong-balanced kidney transforms fear into creativity and contributes to overall wholeness — in health, work, family and the world.

You’ll learn the sounds of the kidney to cultivate the inner wisdom needed to take charge of your fears and move ahead in your life.

In this module, you will:

• Learn energy movements of hip rotation.
• Discover the sounds for the kidney.
• Release old stories of fear and awaken new levels of creativity.
• Receive a strong remedy for fear-causing situations.
• Apply the teachings of the “3 A’s” to activate change.

In Module 4, we will focus on the wholeness of the digestive system, to restore confidence, while also improving digestion. The pressures of a fast-paced, project-driven work and home life — with an excess amount of information to process — magnifies the worry to get it all done. Worry stagnates and blocks the digestive system.

In this module, you will:

• Review the movements of Hip Rotation and Spinal Bone Marrow.
• Feel the supportive energy between your organs.
• Learn an antidote to worry that you can apply in all areas of your life.
• Celebrate 21-day Gong.
• Bring appreciation into the digestion of our food, life and energy.

In Module 5, we will cultivate the voice of inner wisdom, so that you can clear the mind, release extreme anger and discover the courage to take decisive action for change. At every age, we are faced with challenges in relationships with our work, friends, colleagues and our world, and also with our health. A purified and harmonized liver has both the courage and righteousness to guide us to take right action. We will learn how to purify and transform anger right when it is emerging — before it clouds our liver, spleen, lymphatic and immune system.

In this module, you will:

• Review the movements of Spinal Bone Marrow.
• Learn the sounds for the Purification System.
• Find ways to transform old and recurring issues of anger.
• Discover the healthy side of anger.
• Gain the tools to purify and transform anger when it starts to emerge.

Module 6 provides teachings and practice focused on restoring balance to the lungs, thyroid gland, skin and hair. With loss of loved ones or our own health and vitality, and by bearing witness to the sad events in the world, we can be overcome by grief, sorrow and lingering depression.

The Wisdom Healing Qigong practices for the lungs can help release the congestion and are also beneficial for lung conditions like asthma or colds. These practices support taking “a full breath of life.”

In this module, you’ll:

• Learn the movements of Chen Chi.
• Understand how to practice more deeply using the 3 Golden Keys (Trust, Practice and Experience).
• Deep wisdom about Wisdom Healing Qigong for taking a full breath of life.

Module 7 integrates the whole self in harmony and balance, to heal ourselves and to heal our world. Through six weeks of dedicated Qigong practice, the students will be experiencing a greater wholeness of body, mind and heart. Now, we’ll focus the sounds on renewing the mind’s clarity, as intention has a powerful ability to transform and direct Qi so it flows within the body to each organ system — and into the world for the benefit of others. We will explore the disconnection that occurs during illnesses (such as Parkinson’s), and how to rebuild the communication pathways.

In this module, you will:

• Understand the Qigong perspective of your five organ systems.
• Learn the value of continuity, repetition and dedication in your practice.
• Activate the Wisdom Brain with Shenji sounds.
• Experience whole-brain integration.
• Celebrate completion of 50-day Gong.
