This workshop is to find the strength and resources as well as bliss of your ANIMAL within, rather than giving in to their impulsive behavior and ad hoc strategies to avoid the pain of sadness, grief or being alone.

Medical QiGong is an ancient practice based on the conviction that unexpressed emotions create energetic blocks in the organ system and create undesired habits, un-ease and dis-ease.

Deep sadness and grief affecting the lungs and their seven somatic souls named PO.

Do you feel a weight on your chest and have short breath cycles?
Do you have addictive behaviors? … anything from impulse buying, sugar, sex to actual substance abuse …
Do you avoid to feel alone?
Is enjoying solitude a foreign term to you?
Is the ocean of sadness swallowing you?
Do you have patterns of depression?
Are you suicidal?

The PO, the seven somatic souls of the lungs are the somatic expressions of the spiritual essence of a person. They are related to the reflexive nervous system and the limbic system. The PO are interwoven with our ANIMAL within and manifest through skin sensations, feelings of sadness, grief, guilt, shame, hearing and sight.
This workshop is an exploration of how the PO is manifested within your life.
