“Cultivating consciousness is at the heart of the Qigong theory and practice. Qigong activates the conscious mind, which awakens expanded perception, mindfulness and self-realization. The body and mind are engaged and united, which naturally creates an exquisite opportunity for healing on all levels.“ – M. Blane

Feedback from Qigong for Life Students:
“I started attending her classes and met a loving supportive qigong family that warmly opened the circle to include me. I have felt with them the amazing amplification of our energy while meditating together. This is pure bliss! The more I practice, the more I am able to feel and visualize the qi energy. And having a group to practice with makes everything easier and more joyful.”
