Mingtong Gu – Qigong For Rejuvenating Your Immune System

Description Of Qigong For Rejuvenating Your Immune System

Discover how to harness your life force energy through Qigong to boost your vitality, rejuvenate your spirit, strengthen your immune system… even slow aging.

Begin working with the vibrational patterns of sound healing to activate the self-healing powers of your organ systems.

In Qigong for Rejuvenating Your Immune System, you’ll have the opportunity to master essential daily practices from Wisdom Healing Qigong — the specific lineage taught in this program — that will help you take better energetic care of your body and establish a new baseline of health and a long and vibrant life.

Along with every class session, you’ll receive an extra 10-minute video that will demonstrate how to combine breath, movement, and focused intention with sound to create healing interventions that address specific areas of pain, disease, and dysfunction.

In Qigong practice, different sounds are associated with the five major organ systems (heart, kidney, digestive, liver, lung). As you discover which sounds address which organ systems, you can awaken the biological and energetic resiliency of your entire system — an important foundation for healing and wholeness.

In Chinese medicine, imbalances in the organs and elements within the body are seen as the root of almost all disease, creating opportunities for illness through weakened immune function, low energy, and stagnant chi.

As you work with the subtle energies connected to different organs, you’ll become more adept at creating a healing, nourishing, and balanced flow throughout your body so that you can better prevent disease, boost vitality — and even slow aging.

What You’ll Learn In Qigong For Rejuvenating Your Immune System

Module 1: Inner Smile
Qigong and the Hidden & Untapped Strength of Our Immune System (March 13)

In spite of the many conveniences of modern living, people are experiencing deep stress and health challenges that are placing unrelenting workloads on their immune systems. While a weary mind-body may be the new normal for many, we’ll explore how Qigong offers an alternative by rejuvenating your immune system. You’ll begin your journey by exploring how to deeply turn your gaze inward to connect with the flow of energy or chi, and relax your immune and body systems to prevent premature aging and unnecessary illness.

In this session, you’ll:

• Be guided through the “Looking Within Practice — Inner Meditation and Movement,” which is focused on supporting the immune system; this video practice is recorded and available to you for home use
• Experience the Inner Smile Meditation, which you can do on your own to start each day and to relieve stress
• Explore the benefits of turning your attention within through Qigong practice to optimize the chi health of your immune system for more graceful aging and accelerated recovery from illness or injury
• Begin a dedicated Qigong practice focused on the immune system that also supports other wellness regimens and treatments

Module 2: Relax
Learning to Relax in Mind, Body & Heart (March 20)

Your body functions much better when it has time to relax. We’ll explore how to deeply relax anytime, even when you feel busy, worried, or exhausted, so that your mind, body, and heart connect in harmony, as one. We’ll start a relaxing practice that includes healing sounds to open the heart, releasing the busy mind from past events and concerns.

We’ll demonstrate the Spinal Bone Marrow practice of the Awaken Vitality Method to align, relax, and strengthen the spine — a resilient spine supports better communications between the organs, body, brain, and immune system. As we delve into the teachings that help you cultivate a deeper connection with the life force or chi field that flows within and around us, we can begin our journey to discover new vitality for health and wellness of mind, body, and heart.

In this session, you’ll:

• Be guided through a “Relaxing Practice” that includes movement, sounds, and meditation to open the heart and connect mind-body; this video practice is recorded and available to you for home use
• Understand the key roles that the chi field and your life force energy play in the health of your immune system
• Discover how the teachings of the 3 A’s can help you start and maintain a joyful practice amidst a busy life at home, at work, and at medical appointments

Module 3: Release
Learning How to Transform Stress & Worry Before It Weakens the Immune System (March 27)

The health of your mind and body is affected by your emotions, and worry has a significant influence on the wellbeing of your immune system and body. Qigong offers a pathway to transform worry. Rather than succumb to the stagnation and trapped feeling that excess worry brings, we’ll learn the ancient Tapping Practice, together with healing sounds for the digestive system that will help you release stress and open up a new sense of possibility. We’ll also learn an Awaken Vitality Method teaching of Wisdom Healing Qigong to release tension and discomfort often felt in the hips and low back. We’ll explore how to recover deeper, more restful sleep.

In this session, you’ll:

• Be guided through a “Releasing Practice” that includes movement, sounds, and meditation to balance the digestive system; this video practice is recorded and available to you for home use
• Explore why we worry and discover tools to get grounded, so worry doesn’t slow down how we digest excess information, food, and stress
• Discover how to recover deeper sleep, and the role that chi energy plays in the digestive system (stomach, pancreas, intestine, colon) in relationship with the immune system

Module 4: Opening
Increase Capacity to Breathe Deeply & Calm the Thyroid and Immune System (April 3)

Our modern life often has us sitting too much and living a sedentary lifestyle, which can impede the health and natural movement of the lungs, thyroid, and respiratory system. We’ll learn how to open up our lungs again, and why releasing tension in our chest and shoulders is so essential for a healthy thyroid and immune system. We’ll practice the healing sounds for the lungs, which help renew the natural state of the respiratory system and thyroid. For people experiencing sadness or depression, which is common with immune and health challenges or worries about the world, these practices can help transform those emotional patterns so they no longer wear on the body health.

In this session, you’ll:

• Be guided through an “Opening Practice” that includes movement, sounds, and meditation to balance the lung and thyroid system; this video practice is recorded and available to you for home use
• Explore the role of chi energy in the lungs and thyroid system — the thyroid affects every cell function in the body, including the respiratory, cardiovascular, and reproductive systems, and an imbalance can lead to conditions such as exhaustion, depression, or heart arrhythmia
• Help your mind-body learn how to release tension in the upper body, especially for people who sit for long periods and carry the stress of the day’s work in their shoulders, neck, and back

Module 5: Replenish
Awaken Courage to Change How You Care for Your Immune System (April 10)

Much like the young seedling reaches up through the winter’s ground to blossom into a flower, each one of us can find the courage to rise up and train our mind-body-heart to live more brightly. We are often told that certain health or body conditions cannot heal, but in Qigong we learn to tap into new possibilities. Master Gu will guide you to find the courage to change your health and provide the steps that can get you started.

In this session, you’ll:

• Be guided through a “Replenishing Practice” that includes movement, sounds, and meditation to balance the liver system; this video practice is recorded and available to you for home use

Module 6: Being in Motion
Invite Graceful Motion to Open & Balance the Immune System (April 17)

When illness or problems with aging occur, you can suddenly find yourself struggling to adjust and locate even ground on this new uneven path. Qigong helps you stay in motion with balance by connecting with every cell, limb, and organ of your body. We’ll explore the role of coming back into your mind and body through movement and attention. We’ll experience the Dragon Arms movement that opens the flow of energy and allows a new resilience and balance to emerge from fingertips to toes. This meditative practice can be done anytime you need to clear your mind and find new footing.

In this session, you’ll:

• Be guided through a “Dragon Arms Practice” to open the flow of the entire body, mind, and heart; this video practice is recorded and available to you for home use

Module 7: Renew
Your Personal Steps to Reboot Your Immune System (May 1)

In Qigong we learn to connect with the flow of energy, focus on specific areas of mind, body, and heart, and then synthesize everything into one holistic path. Through this integration our mind, body, and heart can move as one, fully connected. We’ll explore how to gather all the threads of this course so that you come away with a meaningful lifetime practice that can help support a vibrant immune and thyroid system, and your overall wellbeing. We’ll practice the course teachings so that you gain more clarity about how to practice at home.
