Qigong to Heal

Achieve and Maintain Optimal Health

Jackie is offering a 6-week online Qigong class starting Thursday February 13th from 6:30-7:45 pm (PST). (If you are unable to attend live, no need to worry, classes will be recorded and made available to you for 30 days allowing you watch and practice at your convenience).

Qigong to regulate the endocrine system: balance hormones, regulate mood, metabolism, digestion, sleep, blood pressure, blood sugar, adrenal function and more.

In Chinese medicine there is a channel called the chong channel. It is one of the 8 extraordinary vessels, which act as reservoirs of energy. The chong regulates circulation of qi/energy and blood in the twelve regular channels. These twelve regular channels are connected to the organs and their functions; therefore, by awakening the chong channel, all systems in the body are affected. This special channel runs through every endocrine gland: the pituitary, thyroid, thymus, pancreas, adrenal, and reproductive glands. This qigong series will help to open the receptors on each of these glands, allowing the hormones to be received and your body to function at its optimal health.

Jackie has been instructing these exercises to patients and students for nearly 15 years. The feedback she has received indicates that it helps induce an extremely relaxed state, and after practicing for a few minutes, individuals feel as though they have been meditating for hours, thereby reducing stress, anxiety, and depression.

In her 22 years of clinical experience, Jackie has assisted thousands of patients with insomnia, fatigue, digestive issues, high blood pressure, hormone imbalances, stress, anxiety and depression. She has combined 19 years of qigong training with her clinical experience to develop a series of simple yet effective exercises to improve sleep and digestion, reduced stress, depression and anxiety, increase vitality, balance hormones and have a sense of feeling centered and grounded.

This is a gentle yet powerful group of exercises. In this class we will be clearing and aligning the chakras, awakening the endocrine system and stretching the physical tissues to hold these energetic shifts.
