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! David also found that his mood, his attitude, his outlook on life, and his intuition had all increased exponentially. He was drawn to teaching and sharing these healing practices and spiritual counsel with others.

He has also studied Japanese Ju Jitsu, Kung Fu, Small Circle Ju Jitsu, Aikido, Chen Style Tai Chi, Brazilian Jiu Jitsu, Pen Jak Silat, Kendo and more..

David’s Qigong Practices are underpinned by his Psychology degree from the University of Connecticut and three years of experience as a Professional Counselor in Louisville,Colorado.  He also spent three years at the University of Colorado studying Molecular and Cellular Biology to better understand the inner workings of the body on a cellular and biochemical level.

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

Lora Tod, LAc certified Qigong Instructor with Qigong Awareness, LLC she shares in a testimonial

I feel the best I’ve felt in about 20 years!

Certified Qigong Instructor with Qigong Awareness, Lora Tod, Shares After completing Level I

While I was familiar with David and Qigong Awareness through NCCAOM and his online classes, I had not had a chance to meet him in person before the Pandemic shut down.  I took a few months off from practicing acupuncture when the Pandemic started. It became a great time to study and get some CEUs completed.  David also began offering more live classes over Zoom, with half-day seminars and weekly classes.  From the beginning of the first class, I felt David was speaking directly to me, and I spent the next year participating in any class he was doing on Zoom.

The logical next step was to complete the Level 1 Certification for teaching. As I continued a consistent Qigong practice, I could feel many changes in my body - energy moving, increased balance and flexibility, emotional release, greater energy level, and the ability to stay calm in stressful situations.  Now I am teaching a weekly class, offering this knowledge to those in South East Michigan, where awareness of Qigong has been very limited.

David is very much a master teacher and healer, studying Qigong, martial arts, and other energy-healing modalities for almost 40 years.  David has the discipline to become an expert at whatever he studies, so there is a lot he can teach you!  One of the reasons I follow him as my teacher is I have heard him say, "I am not here to become your Master, I'm here to help you become Masters of yourselves," a statement that I highly value.  Now I am lucky enough to make yearly visits to Willmington for live seminars.  David and Tanya do an amazing job, and I've met so many great people in the classes.  At 48 years young, I feel the best I've felt in 20 years! I highly recommend Qigong Awareness Programs.

An amazing experience all around

Student Shares After Completing Live Workshop - Medical Qigong For The Peaceful Warrior - Calming The Heart & Mind

I am an IT business analyst by profession.  A close friend who is an acupuncturist exposed me to Qigong and David (she took an online course with him). I attended several of his live webinars and they really resonated with me, so when his live workshop came to Raleigh I had to go! It was an amazing experience all around. The concepts presented were perfectly integrated with the exercises and techniques we learned and practiced over the weekend. I came away with a wealth of new information, inspired and motivated to start a regular Qigong practice and continue learning. The experience of learning from David in real life, meeting Tanya and Bella in person, and the energy of a weekend spent with a group of amazing people I never knew before was beyond my expectations.

Medical Qigong For The Peaceful Warrior - Calming The Heart & Mind

Qigong Awareness offers a window into energy healing in a way that I have never experienced before in my thirty-plus years of energy work and twenty years as an acupuncturist; through Qigong. Individuals who practice Qigong often do so to help improve their own lives and increase their vitality, and they take some of the movements that they learn to provide them to their own clients or friends for self-healing. David J. Coon not only provides instructions for self-healing but also teaches practitioners & lay people the ability to extend that harnessed energy into helping others heal in a way that one will not find through any other Qigong instructors.

David J. Coon and Tanya Mei-Tai Coon provide an educational platform for real, transformative healing for individuals and practitioners energetically assisting their patients. They provide constant support, no matter if it is online instruction or at a live seminar, responding to all questions as they arise. Though the online instruction or certification classes are transformative in their own way, being able to attend their live seminars provides a deeper experience that no one interested in Qigong should miss!

Thank you, David J. Coon and Tanya Mei-Tai Coon, for providing a truly transformative experience with this past weekend's seminar in Raleigh (2023)! Tanya & Bella’s presence also brought much light and welcoming acceptance. For this, I am extremely and truly grateful, as well as for your taking the time in answering my questions.

How to get to the heart of what is needed.

Student Shares After Completing Live Workshop: Medical Qigong For The Peaceful Warrior - Calming The Heart & Mind

The highlight of this workshop for me was tying the Medical Qigong teachings into spirituality in a way that was clear and concise.  David is a highly skilled instructor who knows how to get to the heart of what is needed in a very direct way. I had a question in my mind that I wanted to ask and was blown away when he walked up to me and answered it before I even asked. The energy cultivated was really powerful, thanks for the teachings.
