Live CEU Workshops – Reducing Acute & Chronic Inflammation

Acupuncturists & Massage Therapists Earn 15 CEU/PDA

Join Us Live! Experience The Magic of Qigong!

What to expect from a workshop?

These Live Intensives in Medical Qigong will be taught by Medical Qigong Master David J. Coon, the author of Qigong for Beginners: Your Path to Greater Health and Vitality. These workshops will be hands-on and experiential teaching the ancient practices of Qigong as well as ancient forms of meditation and practices of Medical Qigong.

Master Coon has been practicing Qigong and Martial Arts for over thirty-five years. He holds black belts in Karate, Tae Kwon Do, and Kenpo Karate. In his teens and twenties, Master Coon used Qigong to heal his spine of a degenerative spinal disease that the doctors said would cripple him.

Master Coon is also a Medical Qigong Master and will be teaching students to use Medical Qigong – a form of Traditional Chinese Medicine to bring greater healing to their patients. You will learn Qigong exercises, Medical Qigong Treatment Techniques, and potent meditations for healing the mind and body.

These workshops are designed for laypeople as well as health care professionals. Most Acupuncturists will find these intensives very beneficial and applicable to their professional practices. Massage therapists and Yoga teachers will also benefit greatly from these practices gaining advanced knowledge regarding this form of Qigong, giving them the ability to teach this set to their clients and students.

What will you learn?

In this intensive, you will learn both Qigong Exercises to teach your clients or students and Medical Qigong Treatment Techniques to support the body’s innate ability to heal itself. Our students have both healed their own conditions and exponentially increased their patients’ healing results using Qigong.

  • Learn Qigong Exercises
  • Learn To Teach Qigong Exercises
  • Learn Medical Qigong Treatment Techniques
  • Learn Meditations For Healing The Mind & Body

Who Should Take It?

TAKE: Acupuncturists, Massage Therapists, Chiropractors, Qigong Instructors, Yoga Instructors, Martial Arts Instructors, Reiki Practitioners, other professionals, and lay people are welcome to attend. No prerequisites are needed.

RETAKE:  We encourage students to take this workshop more than once to achieve greater mastery. Your credit hours will be counted towards future Qigong Awareness Programs certifying students as both Qigong Instructors and Medical Qigong Practitioners.

When David was fifteen years old he was diagnosed with a severe spinal disease and told that he would be crippled by the time he was thirty years old. Unwilling to accept this fate, David began intensively studying Oriental Medicine, Medical Qigong, Martial Arts and Meditation.

David learned how to cultivate and direct the energetic life force called Chi in Traditional Chinese Medicine. Through Qigong practice, David healed his spinal disease completely!

He has taught and lectured around the country to both lay people and professionals about the healing power of Qigong. David’s Qigong practices are now being practiced around the world. They are simple, effective and can be practiced by anyone at any age.

Alongside of his busy traveling, writing and filming schedule David offers Private Retreats, Webinars, and Distance Healing Program in Wilmington, NC.

Medical Qigong Workshop Testimonials

It is hard for me to express exactly what I’m feeling but this course resonated with me on a much deeper level…

Thank you!

It is hard for me to express exactly what I'm feeling but this course resonated with me on a much deeper level than "Alchemizing Stress". The energy was more palpable and the philosophy combined with technique application was tangible. Maybe it's because of the lesson. Maybe it is because Qigong is now more a part of my everyday life. Maybe because of something else. Maybe all of the above.

Again, my words fail me at this point to truly express on what I can only describe as what I feel or taste. They do not however elude me so much that they do allow me to say a heartfelt "Thank You!". 🙂

Winifred Boyd, LAC Westbury, NY September 17, 2018

This workshop was LIFE CHANGING!

Thank you David and Tanya and Bella. I have been a Massage Therapist almost 11 years, and of ALL my CE classes I have taken in the past, this is BY FAR the one I can truly say I got an Awakening experience from.

This workshop was LIFE CHANGING!

I have learned so much from these past two days that have impacted me in ways that I so much needed as a healer! Thank you!

 

Jamie C. Hendricks, LMBT, CMA – Shallotte, NC November 15, 2018

The love and energy I felt during the two day workshop was extraordinary!

“Ever since the Hilton Head program, I've felt more calm and peaceful than in the past.  Even after hosting 4 large family gatherings these past 2 weeks! I've been SO thankful and pleasantly surprised for the peace I've felt in the midst of it all. The love and energy I felt during the two day workshop was extraordinary!”

Felecia McCarthy, QI 50 – Myrtle Beach , SC January 12, 2019

…has been the best course I have attended to date

“In my 30 years of CEU classes in my field, my experience training in Medical Qigong with Qigong Awareness has been the best course I have attended to date. The content is comprehensive, bringing synchronistic harmony of multiple modality theories into clear focus… A Collective Whole.

Thank you David, Melissa, Leon and support staff for enhancing my ascension path with this special program.”

 

 

Candace Bruce, LMBT - Health Options Wellness – Durham, NC March 12, 2019

…the patient felt a “wow” sensation and further relief of pain. I’m jazzed!

After completing a case of treating piriformis sciatica I decided to do Qigong washing and healing hands to the hip which was the perfect compliment to the treatment. From only about 2 minutes of Medical Qigong work the patient felt a "wow" sensation and further relief of pain.
 
I'm jazzed!
