This weekend workshop will feature Qigong TuiNa healing techniques to harmonize the “shen” and .  The weekend will also feature Sleeping Buddha Qigong with the main goal counteracting insomnia by imitating the gesticulations of Maitreya Buddha. “His big belly can house the affairs of the world. When he opens his mouth it is to laugh and his laugh spreads to all the people of the earth.” Dr. Liu Dong was inspired by this philosophy in designing this series of exercises. By stretching the four members and massaging some specific points the practitioner provokes a deep yawn, thus nourishing the heart, calming the spirit and allowing for a nourishing and restful sleep.
