COURSE DESCRIPTION:

In the first of a two-part course on qigong therapy, students learn the basics of qigong as an applied adjunctive therapy for TCM practitioners. Students learn to sense a patient’s qi for the purpose of diagnosis (for example, feeling the radiant temperature near his or her body) and learn the basic principles of qi emission for the purpose of healing energetic imbalances in a patient.
