FENG SHUI BASICS: Make your home your greatest asset with Martha Dahlen
Qi moves in the environment as well as in your body. Feng Shui is the art and science of following this movement; its practices aim to promote harmony between environment, buildings and people. Implementing the principles of Feng Shui can bring peace of mind, good health, strong relationships, wealth and abundance.
The goals of this seminar will be to give participants an understanding of Feng Shui, its history and principles, and to spark insight.

Simple Practice->Profound Results! July Newsletter
We hope you are well. There is so so much we want to share with you. We’ve been buzzzzzing (even more that usual). The past few weeks have taught us how to be more like water. Our trip to Tampa, FL was canceled less than 24 hours before we were leaving. We had been preparing for months. Chris was suppose to give 4 talks to ~500 health & fitness professionals from around the world. It was our motivation for finishing the book. We were shocked to find out it was canceled. But after we got over the initial disappointment, we decided to take a small vacation to the central coast. You’ll be glad to hear that we’re taking some time to refresh, regroup, refuel. We’re excited to tell you about all the new and cutting edge programs we will be presenting!
PS. We want to acknowledge that last week we pre-maturely hit the send key on our newsletter. If you noticed errors, that is why. If you didn’t notice, even better. 🙂
What is Qigong? Simple practice -> Profound Results |
|
Qigong is the Chinese art of working with the body’s energy system. It includes meditative practices and physical exercises. It is “Chinese” because it is based on Chinese ideas of how energy flows in the body; these same theories are at the basis of Chinese medicine, including acupuncture, and also other Chinese arts, such as feng shui.
What makes this book different from many other Qigong books is the same thing that makes Chris’ teaching different from other Qigong masters. It acknowledges and provides exercises for addressing the emotional component in our modern diseases. In the past, people’s problems mainly started on the physical level: poor hygiene, danger, infectious diseases, accidents. But today, in our relatively safe, clean environment, more of our diseases begin on the emotional level. A dear friend dies, you lose your job, you are abused, or a good friend betrays you…. Strong experiences generate emotional energy. If we don’t process this energy appropriately– if we don’t digest it, just as we digest food, allowing it to transform– then it unbalances our entire system. These imbalances or blockages are not corrected, they get worse and eventually become physical symptoms. At that point, if you eliminate the physical symptom but not the underlying subtle energy disturbance, then the symptom will come back-or you will get a new symptom somewhere else in the body (Just like with the plumbing in your house, if you stop water flow, the pipe will burst somewhere along the way).
Because Qigong harmonizes the subtle energy flow in the body, when it corrects imbalances at those levels it can eliminate both the physical symptoms and the emotional symptoms which caused them. The problem really goes away. This may seem like a miracle, but each success just proves that the Chinese theories are true.

May is for Remembrance
To EveryONE who has a Mother!
We celebrate two very special holidays in May: Mother’s Day, and Memorial Day. Both remind us to give thanks to those who have made our lives even possible. First, we should especially acknowledge those who birthed us and raised us, who cooked, clothed and fed us. With the same awareness, we may also give thanks to any who have “mothered” us along our way. Nurturing is an art in itself! Secondly, we should pause to offer gratitude to those who have gone to battle to protect us. They have sacrificed much.
Let this gratitude and appreciation propel you forward to make the most of your life and your resources. In Chinese medicine, May is the heart of the Spring season, the season of the Wood Element. Those who have taken our Qigong classes know what that means! Wood Element is about birth, growth, determination, and drive. Like a young green shoot pushing up through the soil, respond to this seasonal flow and “get s**t done”! Know your dream? Start now to make it happen!
Not one to preach but not practice, Chris is following his dream of becoming a bestselling author and world renowned proponent of Chinese medicine. Our first book, “Qigong Self-Refinement Course” will be published by Balboa Press this summer. We hope to have copies to take when we go to the International Fitness Professional Association convention in Florida in July. In any case we will launch the book with a celebration at the Center. Stay tuned for that!
