The key to any spiritual practice, personal stress management technique, healing practice, to any esoteric study of life is the ability to train and focus your mind. When this happens you begin to unfold within yourself the ability to access inner teachers for guidance and wisdom to use in daily life. There are few training techniques as powerful or easy as Qigong (chee-gong). For 3,000 to 5,000 years the Chinese have worked with the unseen force called Qi or chi. They studied the chi and developed a fully integrated health care system using the meridian system called acupuncture. They have developed mind-breath-movement practices to train the mind for spiritual development, and found these practices to yield the side affects of physical, emotional, and mental healing. The Rainbow Sun Qigong form Ellie Drew teaches is a core foundational component to her teachings. After spending 10 years as a healer she found that people could maintain their energetic integrity by doing these easy practices, thus staying healthier in all aspects of life, and deepening their spiritual life. Rainbow Sun Qigong has been produced in three forms: Qigong for Kids, Qigong for Seniors or Rainbow Sun Qigong.

Description: Qigong for Kids & Seniors: Is this you? "I'm excited about Qigong but I need a simple, effective Qigong form to teach so I can share this wonderful healing tool!" If it is, then this workshop is for you. Ellie Drew is an experienced Qigong Instructor and teacher of teachers for those who want to share Qigong in schools, senior centers and neighborhoods. She developed the Rainbow Sun Qigong form, with supporting video materials, so you can learn the form first hand, then take home a video or DVD to support your continued learning, and for your students. These include Qigong for Kids, and Qigong for Seniors, and Rainbow Sun Qigong. Come immerse yourself for a day of practical Qigong training that you can share with others.
