The Philosophy and Practice of Qigong

Qigong Institute

This podcast was originally recorded at a seminar that Francesco Garripoli, President of the Qigong Institute, gave at Omega Institute as part of a National Qigong Association annual conference. Francesco has a rare gift of being able to put the ineffable into words. His insight and perspective comes from thirty years of teaching and practicing Qigong and is just as relevant for people who have never done Qigong as those who have been doing it for years. He talks about how to take a more simple approach to the practice of Qigong and how it fits into your life. The core of Qigong practice involves the redefinition of self and re-patterning of your relation with the world -- allowing the inherent intelligence in your being to take over -- without you getting in the way. Learn how to reduce stress and avoid giving away your Qi by anxiety over the future or dwelling on the past. For more information on Qigong, go to www.qigonginstitute.org
