Description:
Qigong is an ancient science and art of health exemplifying a multi-faceted traditional system of Chinese energy, exercise and healing for the body, mind and spirit. Over 80 million people of all ages with varied conditions practice Qigong daily in China. Qigong and TCM Law of the Five Element Theories is related to guided imagery, meditation, distant healing, exercise and other forms of mind/body medicine. According to the Ancient Classics in TCM and the Law of the Five Element Theories of microcosm/macrocosm and yin/yang, you are the Universe and Universe is you.

The Qi Energy Theories demonstrations will show how we are all one- integrated, we are one another and how we are ultimately inter-connected with nature. Thus our negative stressful mind attitudes are devastating the state of our planet today. This Qi force of nature is affected by our pollution of the environment and we are the creators of Global Warming, i.e., excess hurricanes, floods, earthquakes...the Tsunamies, Katrina, etc.. It is imperative we change our behavior patterns now to save the planet for our next generation.

Dr. Chow founded and uses a versatile concept called the Chow Integrated Healing System and Qigong, a blend of modern Western practices, ancient Eastern healing arts as in TCM/Qigong, and Chow's own health principles linking the energetic body, mind, spirit and imagery with nature. Through the use of the Chow System individuals will learn to change their behavior patterns and become renewed, revitalized and replenished.
