Tuesday Qigong class begins October 18th

Lots of exciting things have been happening. I work part-time at the Sunspot Natural Market. I've been teaching through Purdue Recreation Sports Center. Over the summer, I became certified to teach Yoga. I also became attuned in Reiki 1. It's time to begin a Qigong Class that is open to the public!

Mark your calendars and let me know if you will attend this 6-week progression of Qigong classes from 6:15 - 7:15 p.m. in Pao Hall Room 1197, located at 552 W. Wood St., on Purdue's campus.

The cost is $60 for the general public, $42 for college students, and $30 for students in the Bujinkhan Yanagi Shibu Student Organization who sponsor me to teach these classes. I have much gratitude! Thank you!

2011 classes & workshops announced

It's a New Year!

• Is being healthy and well something you strive to be?
• Would you like to be more relaxed and free of negative stress?
• What are you doing about it?

A dear friend of mine says, "if you do what you've always done, then you get what you've always gotten." If you want change to happen, then you need to do something different.

I invite you to learn breathing techniques, movement, and meditation through Qigong (chee-gong), a practice that originated in China more than 4,000 years ago. The word "Qi" means energy -- vital life force.

The practice of qigong builds energy and promotes healing in the body naturally through the flow of blood and oxygen circulation. This works through deep abdominal breathing, slow graceful movement, and meditation that quiets the overactive mind.

New classes and workshops in Chicago, Lafayette, Remington and Renssalaer are posted on the Classes and Events page -- follow the link to learn places dates, times and cost of several options:

• Weekly classes at Purdue and St. Joseph's College
• "Stand-alone" 3-hour workshops in Chicago and Lafayette
• Pay-by-the-class option in Remington

Qigong Breathing Experience: A 3-hour workshop

The Ultimate 3-Hour Qigong Breathing Experience

Thousands who have practiced Yoga & Tai Chi say this energy is truly mind-blowing!

• Breath Empowerment
• Nine-Breath Method
• Healing Circle

We begin with Breath Empowerment, which feels like an engine humming softly in your abdomen. These vibrations are very tangible and will leave you feeling clear and empowered.

Next you'll learn the Nine-Breath Method to practice at home. It’s our most powerful “Energy Developing Exercise.”

We conclude with a Healing Circle holding hands while performing Nine-Breath Method. This creates a powerful Energy Chain. In the strong energy of the Nine-Breath Healing Circle, we send prayers of healing to our relatives and loved ones.

In this 3-hour course you will learn:

• How to store energy in your navel center and strengthen your body
• Nine-Breath Method, which allows you to flush your body with energy in 45 seconds!
• Techniques that instantly deliver the Qi energy in massive quantities for results

NOTE: Precaution against people with seizure disorders, heart problems or women who are pregnant from practicing these breathing techniques.

• Participants should bring a mat

• Questions? Call or text Melanie at (765) 491-3404 or e-mail melclark3@aim.com
