Lightning Waters Medical Qigong ™
Robert's Master of Medical Qigong professional level of understanding and skill has been further empowered and synergized through diligent practice and reflection, synergy from herbology studies, expansion from various powerful ancient awareness skills, and above all else through the irreplacable avenue of frequent and extended Fusion with the purity of Wilderness energy. This part of the process towards energetic Mastery was considered to be absolutely vital in ancient times, but few Qigong Masters these days journey solo into deep wilderness and also undertake Vision Quests in powerful Sacred Areas to expand their energetic development and comprehension. And through these sojourns Robert has indeed gained many life-altering insights into the nature of Qi. He has also studied additional energetic paradigms and methods from a variety of ancient and modern sources -- including various aspects of Shamanism, with select aspects from all these studies integrated into his work. He was also the editor of an applied manual on human energetic anatomy. Lightning Waters Qigong is a comprehensive system of Medical Qigong Exercises derived from a lineage built upon ancient Daoist roots. It develops both dynamic power and a calm, centered balance. Both beginners and very experienced qigong students have experienced a substantial improvement in vitality, stress reduction, and harmonious balance in their lives from practicing this brief daily routine. It strikes the optimal balance of first systematically purging stagnant and toxic Qi, then pulling in invigorating Yang and Yin 5 Elements energies from the Heavens and the Earth; finally it properly balances and stores these renewed energies. These workshops are taught with careful attention to detail and an incremental polishing of skills, and foundational Medical Qigong theory is also introduced. The professional Master of Medical Qigong also included specialized and vital training in detecting and dealing with what are known as Qi Deviations, which are abnormal patterns of energy flow in the body which can be caused by learning qigong incorrectly. Despite one's best intentions this can occur at times from learning from books, videos, and instruction from those who have been certified to teach qigong after only a few days of classes, which is an increasing tendency both in the US and abroad as qigong grows in popularity. In China there are actually Doctors of Medical Qigong who specialize in dealing with this growing problem of Qi Deviations, which can cause insomnia, hyperactivity, anger, mania, ungroundedness, and other emotional and energetic problems. Qigong is very powerful and can be dangerous when it is not learned systematically and carefully through high-quality professional level instruction. For this reason Lightning Waters limits classes to 10 students maximum in order to insure that each aspirant is receiving the individual attention to detail that is critical to effective and safe instruction. In China, Medical Qigong as a modality is a pillar within the overall field of Traditional Chinese Medicine, it is held in high respect and accounts for approximately 15% of total health care. In Robert's energetic practice Medical Qigong combined with other energetic work is available to a limited number of clients, and occasional professional workshops on Medical Qigong methodologies may also be offered as time allows. |
