The LIVE Qigong Learning Experience
It goes without saying (wouldn’t you say?) that the last few months have been some of the strangest times many of us have lived through. Not only were we driven inside, into our houses, but in our houses we turned inward, into ourselves.
Some might say... “every cloud has a silver lining.”
This strange state of things – locked inside, isolated, with no sense of when it might end or where it might end up – became fertile ground for “burgeoning questions”; seeds sprout when they are buried in darkness.
Many people started to ask questions about health. “Will I get sick? If I get sick, what can I do? How do I keep healthy? Can I raise my immunity?” Naturally – with lots of time on their hands, many of them started looking for answers.
Do you know how we know that?
Because in the last few months, the Spring Forest Qigong Healing Center has had a flood of calls and emails – many of them from people who had never heard of Spring Forest Qigong before, but who had just discovered it and were amazed by what they felt when they practiced it.
If you didn’t know, in March, Master Lin started a free daily Qigong practice on Facebook, and it hasn’t stopped since. Now, many of our most experienced Qigong Masters and Instructors are still leading the Qigong practice every weekday, and thousands of people worldwide are tuning in to share in the wealth of healing wisdom and healing energy that we’re just – giving away!
Since more and more people are tuning in and feeling the energy (and its healing benefits – you should hear the stories we’re getting!), more and more people want... well, more.
So, they are looking at classes, looking at home-study courses, looking at other live events like the Healing Circle and wondering – “Which should I pick?”
Specifically, a lot of people are asking, “What’s the difference between a live class and a home-study course?” Like with Spring Forest Qigong Level One for Health. Aren’t they the same thing?
Here, we want to help you understand the difference between live classes and home-study courses so you can make the best decision for you and get the most benefit no matter what your goal is, whether it’s healing yourself, helping others to heal, or even becoming a Qigong professional.
We’ll say it simply and directly.
The home-study courses are an excellent way to learn Spring Forest Qigong. One of our Masters, Gadu, even started out that way! Everything you would want in order to learn this Qigong to help yourself and others is right there in those courses. And, if you want something you can review again and again in detail, the home-study courses are priceless – a resource for a lifetime.
But if you can take a live class, there really is nothing better – for learning Qigong, for really feeling the healing energy, and for making a lasting, heart-to-heart connection with an authentic teacher of an ancient tradition (and an amazing community of love-radiators).
Another “silver lining”?
There are more live classes now than ever, more accessible than ever. But we’ll come back to that.
What makes the live Qigong learning experience so special, so valuable, so unique?
Well, from the teacher’s perspective, it’s obvious. When our Masters and Trainers and Instructors talk among themselves about it, the first thing that they usually mention is the change they see come over their students. Many students come into the class with a story, a narrative, a set of beliefs based in fear and doubt. The Qigong teacher can see the body-language and feel the energy – tension, anxiety, fear, these things. And by the end of the class, the students have a twinkle in their eyes. They walk and talk and stand with a sense of ease. They project confidence. There is excitement and contentment and wonder in their faces. Their hearts have opened.
It’s not just the deeply empowering and liberating message and information of Spring Forest Qigong. That comes through even in the home-study courses.
No, it’s the energy of the group. It’s the energy transmission from the teacher. Quite simply, a transformation can happen when the energies of many students come together in the presence of a Master or experienced teacher – something shifts and accelerates. A certain understanding is passed on that can only come about through being around a Qigong teacher. It is something to be felt.
Beyond that, there are some more obvious things that make a live class so much more desirable, compared to a home-study course.
For one, you get individual, individualized guidance. You get to interact with your teacher and other students – asking questions, sharing stories, and practicing healing on each other. You also tap into something in your teacher beyond knowledge and information: their wisdom and energy.
Not only that, but so many students – and not just new students! – have so many doubts about their ability to learn or do Qigong healing. The support of the group is so vital in helping people to realize, “Hey! I’m not alone,” and “Wow – I didn’t realize I could do that!”
But the home-study courses? For all the treasures that are in them... they just don’t give you all those things we just mentioned.
(And as a side-note, if you ever want to become a Certified Spring Forest Qigong teacher yourself, you would need to take live classes, so there is that benefit to them, too.)
Earlier we said that there were more live classes than ever. As you might guess, so far, we have not resumed holding live, in-person classes – there are still so many concerns about public health right now. So, now we are holding Level One for Health, Level Two for Healing, and Level Three for Advanced Energy Development and Healing online; in the future, maybe we will hold other classes online, too.
Many people have asked us if all those things that make live in-person classes so special are true of live online classes, too.
The answer?
Yes!
Of course, you don’t get all the hugs you do in a live in-person class, but our students and our teachers alike have been just amazed by how strong the energy has been in the online classes. And if you have already taken a Level Three class, had a distance healing with one of the healers, or joined the monthly Free Global Phone Healing, then you know – with Spring Forest Qigong’s healing energy, there are no limits of time or space.
What did they say in the ’60s? “Are you... experienced?”
Let us ask you – have you had the live Spring Forest Qigong experience?
Like we said, there are more classes for you than ever, more convenient than ever... and there’s no better time to be making time for your own health and healing than NOW.
