Frequently Asked Questions

I am wondering if it is safe to do a Medical Qigong session or Qigong class with a pregnant woman? Thanks!!

Good question. When someone is pregnant relaxation and smoothness of flow is appropriate. So when doing Qigong simply slow and easy movements and breath. Nothing too dramatic like breath of fire or challenging Qigong poses for extended periods of time. Everything mindful.

The same is true for a medical Qigong treatment. Very smooth healing sessions – everything calming. You know if a pregnant person is receiving too much energy during a Medical Qigong session when they get stressed and overtly bumpy? Make sure everything is instead is smooth emotional, soft tears is fine. The emotional catharsis that is “bumpy” while pregnant as opposed to smooth is not recommended.

So watching and holding space and if things start building up, the breathing gets heavier or the blood is pumping harder or you see the face getting red then you need to back off and calm everything down down down. Bring energy back to the feet have the person open and close hands. Ground them. Coach them in a normal breathing pattern ” I want you to breathe in through your nose and slowly exhale through your nose and then mouth. Relax everything is ok.”

But if your paying attention there should be no problem. This isn’t going to happen right away..so simply be watchful and work gently and do no harm..

I loved the online course Alchemizing Stress & Restoring Balance. Would you ever teach that one live again?

Thanks for asking this question. At this time we are only planning on teaching one live intensive course at a time each year or two and then filming the course in a studio. So, we do not plan on reteaching previous workshops from past years. We attempt to create a new course each year so that our students can still receive credit from the acupuncture and massage boards each year to renew their licenses.

Incredible Online Intensives Reviews

“I thoroughly enjoyed every moment of this intensive.”

I thoroughly enjoyed every moment of this intensive. David shared so much in the way of knowledge, demonstration of methods and above all experiential stories – personal and working with others. The energy that we are capable of generating is astounding once the intention and mind are focused. Feeling is believing! I look forward to attending a workshop one day. Thank you.

“My online course with David Coon was very captivating and helpful.”

My online course with David Coon was very captivating and helpful. I found myself re-energized with newfound techniques based on the traditional concepts of acupuncture. This becomes profound when one combines the two. The other factor is to energized oneself first, so one is able to further enhance the treatment protocols.

His philosophy is most important to hear. David’s experiences and concepts are vital to putting it together. One of my instructors said it best…"It’s not so important where You put the needle, but where You are, when you put the needle in.”

“I was ignited to practice and appreciate energy work”

I hope the day comes that I can study with David in person, He is so clear and such a great teacher. I really enjoyed this and it is such an important perspective for me to have about  acupuncture and energy medicine, I was ignited to practice and appreciate energy work more strongly than before.

“I really enjoyed this online course.”

I really enjoyed this online course. The instructor answered many of my body, mind, spirit questions by using qigong. And I love how he emphasized that practicing all this on ourselves is incredibly important.

“This course has been excellent. It has really exceeded my expectations.”

This course has been excellent. It has really exceeded my expectations. Sometimes taking required CEUs for license renewal is just a thing that I have to do. There isn't any spark, I trudge through and get my certificate. This course, however, got my juices flowing. I am absolutely going to incorporate this into my acupuncture practice. Thank you!!

“The lectures impressed and lifted me”

I find it exhilarating to work with the class material for myself, my acupuncture patients and my family! The qigong exercises and healing techniques calm my shen and vitalize me for work, play, relationships and life's challenges.

The practices taught by David blend beautifully with my yoga life that has been in cultivation 27 years. He gracefully brought to light the deep correspondences between acupuncture channels, yogic chakras, the endocrine system, the heart and emotions, and how they all affect the body and mind.

The lectures impressed and lifted me with affirmations from Eastern and Western medical literature as to the power of the mind and body to heal.

The peaceful sitting meditations balance the rigorous 'on your feet' qigong and offer practices for healing others in distant locations, an opportunity that I treasure.

This workshop is golden for people who like to move, feel, love and heal!

“I think he fully embodies what he is teaching”

This course was really well presented by Mr. Coon. I felt like he was completely grounded within himself, very confident in his delivery - and also uninhibited in his demonstrations, which was somehow a relief for me to witness. I think he fully embodies what he is teaching.

Douglas MacLaren, M.Ac., L.Ac. http://maclarenacp.com Duxbury, MA October 18, 2016

I really appreciate the piece of practitioner exercises as sometimes we put so much effort into seeing clients and forget about ourselves

This was an excellent course. I appreciated that I could do the modules in one hour segments - because sometimes long weekend intensive courses can be, well too intensive. I really appreciate the piece of practitioner exercises as sometimes we put so much effort into seeing clients and forget about ourselves and we are a good part of the equation for healing. Thank you and I hope you will consider doing more of these for NCCAOM. I am an acupressurist and can see how medical qigong work can be useful for my clients!

This was an amazing course and taught with a profound amount of wisdom.

This was an amazing course and taught with a profound amount of wisdom. This has been the missing element for me in how I want to carry out my acupuncture practice as well as how I want to carry on in life. This is going to help me in healing myself so that I may go out and help heal others on the highest level. I couldn't have encountered this course at a more crucial time in life.

Thank you for creating a delightful Qi Gong seminar.

Thank you for creating a delightful Qi Gong seminar. I have been an acupuncturist for 27 years, which means that I have taken 27 years of continuing education classes. After all of these years and classes, it is difficult
to find a class that keeps my interest, flows and is informative. Your Golden Dragon Qi Gong class flowed nicely and kept my interest throughout all the hours. The information was clear, and there was a perfect blend of didactic to exercise time. I have done Big Tree (Hugging) meditation for an hour every morning for the past 4 years. It is so important that a health care worker keep himself/herself energetically fit by practice. I think that you made this clear. It is all about the practice: from there you get your personal strength on many levels, your insights, develop your intuition, and become a better “practitioner”… Thank you for sharing so many personal stories about yourself and working with patients. It is these stories that I will remember. Thank you for creating a price that is accessible to all acupuncturists and massage therapists - it is affordable and well worth it.

I study with Qi Gong masters from Inner Mongolia. Their style is to practice without instruction, nor comments, until much later…. not much talking. I like that your style is more “American” to explain and entice students, especially beginners, with what Qi Gong is, how it works, and why you are doing what you are doing.
