About Qigong

Qigong is an ancient self healing art that combines movement, breathing techniques, and meditation. Its origins are from China, where it is practised daily by millions of people. Qigong is a form of internal exercise that fosters wisdom, longevity, well-being, and harmonious living. It is also a philosophy of life that is rooted in Taoism, Buddhism, and Traditional Chinese Medicine. Qigong's goal is to become aware of and cultivate one's own qi or internal energy. Daily practice can bring about powerful self healing and transformation. Some symptoms that can benefit from qigong include stress, anxiety, insomnia, pain, fatigue, hypertension, digestive disorders, and loss of balance.

Matthew teaches the forms "One Thousand Hands Buddha Qigong", "6 Sound Therapy Qigong", and "8 Treasures Qigong". He has studied with Master Liu He for two years at the Oregon College of Oriental Medicine and has been practicing on his own for seven years. Last year he began a two year healing qigong training course for further self cultivation and teacher training at the Ling Gui International Healing Qigong School.
