QiGong for Health and Happiness

In this show, we explore Qigong as a primary strategy for healing Parkinson’s. Wisdom Healing Qigong (WHQ) is a particular form of the ancient Chinese spiritual practice that focuses on personal health and well being, blending essential ancient teachings into one gentle practice of movement, visualization, chanting and meditation. Compatible with traditional Chinese and modern western medicine, it fits all abilities and is very effective for chronic and acute health conditions.

Joining me on the Parkinsons Recovery Radio show Monday is my guest Bill Bulick who uses Qigong as a primary strategy for healing Parkinson’s. Bill has been practicing Wisdom Healing Qigong daily for almost 4 years. He was originally inspired by the story of Bianca Molle who reversed her Parkinson’s symptoms through this practice and a former guest on Parkinsons Recovery Radio. Bill has been a devoted student of Mingtong’s since 2011, has attended six 10 day retreats, has increased his practice to 2-4 hours, and is now in the WHQ Teacher Training Program.

Is Full Recovery Possible? Here is What Bianca Molle Has to Say

 

Bianca Molle, M.Ed., spent over twenty-five years in both Special Education and Regular Ed., as well as parenting an autistic child. Fortunately, this background likely helped prepare her for the patience, dedication, and persistence necessary to heal herself herself from Parkinson’s  Disease energetically using the body/mind method of qigong. Bianca is now totally recovered and happy to share her story, reflections, and method. Come hear a discussion between herself and Master Mingtong Gu, the man who taught her the practice.

Master Mingtong Gu on Qigong to Ease Parkinsons Symptoms

Master Mingtong Gu, founder of The Chi Center, will answer your questions live, about how Qigong (pronounced chee – Gong) has helped his students in their Parkinson’s recovery and explains how the practice can help you. Master Gu trained in Wisdom Healing Qigong at the largest Qigong medicine-less hospital in China. Wisdom Healing Qigong is the form of medical Qigong that matches ancient movements, meditation and sounds to fit modern medical conditions. Qigong is very beneficial to Parkinson’s, because it reconnects the mind and the body— helping the mind focus, the brain build neural connections, the body move, the heart find joy. Neuroscience is now able to map the changes in the brain from a practice like Qigong. Master Gu  offers online courses so that people of all ages with challenging health conditions can practice anywhere. He leads the only North American WHQ Retreats modeled on China’s successful program, offering 5-30 day intensive practice for chronic and acute conditions, including Parkinson’s. The Chi Center is located in Sonoma County CA. www.chicenter.com
