“As long as the Qi is abundant and flowing there is no illness or disharmony” Su Wen (ancient Chinese text)
All life is comprised of Qi. This vital force is the origin and manifestation of all that exists.
This course is based on the ancient and comprehensive system of medicine that is Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM).
Using this solid, informed foundation we explore the nature of Qi in health and disharmony both in our internal and external environment. We learn how to listen to, recognise, understand and move Qi in all its forms from the emotional and mental to the physical and spiritual.
Qi gathers and flows in and about the being through its organ energy systems (the Zang Fu) and its meridians (the Jing Luo).
Our thoughts, feelings, habits, diet, relationships and our living and working environment all have an effect on Qi and this effect creates a pattern of wellness or unwellness in our being.
The meridians and the quantity and quality of the Qi that flow through them, act as signposts creating a map of the being. A skilful and knowledgeable practitioner can use this information to rebalance and restore the being.
