DYNAMIC ZEN QIGONG
ANCIENT WISDOM FOR HEALING AND REJUVENATION
ACTIVATING THE BODY'S SELF-HEALING POWER
Qigong is an ancient practice dating back thousands of years, described by the Chinese as “energy work” and is the art of aligning breath, movement, and awareness for exercise, healing, and meditation through cultivating and restoring QI (Chi) "life force or life energy".
The practice of Qigong enhances our ability to perceive the energy that is around us and makes it available. This increased energy promotes health, vitality, emotional balance, mental clarity, intuition, creativity, tranquility, and spiritual awareness.
Purification cleansing rituals have been used and developed by mystics and sages throughout time to access higher levels of understanding and awareness, as well as mind-body-spirit renewal, through what the Japanese Shinto calls Misogi (water purification) by washing away impurities or obscure energies in a river, waterfall, or sea, and Misogi-no-kokyu-ho (purification through breath).
WHAT YOU WILL LEARN
During this one day workshop, you will learn the 8 principles to activate your 7 energy centers in the body, becoming more relaxed, fluid, flexible, adaptable, balanced, centered, and aware of your energy levels igniting your body's natural self-healing power.
By the end of this workshop, you will have a daily practice to help you develop effortless power by cleansing, cultivating, and maximizing your energy in a natural way, which, in time and with consistent practice, will be transferred to all areas in your life, as a vibrant and youthful state of being.
THE 7 ENERGY CENTERS
1. ROOT CHAKRA
(Color: RED - Adrenal gland)
Located at the lower tip of the spine and relates to our sense of survival, earth, and security. When it is balanced, one feels grounded and stable. When it is out of alignment, one feels fearful, insecure and overly attached to material things -- ultimately disconnected from life.
2. SACRAL CHAKRA
(Color: ORANGE - Gonad gland)
Located in the pelvis and sexual organs, coordinates the instincts, gives attuning with water energies and correspond to the moon-influences and to the magnetic forces. When it is balanced, one is creative and connects well with others. When it is out of alignment, lust tends to dominate.
3. SOLAR PLEXUS CHAKRA
(Color: YELLOW - Pancreas)
Located at the stomach and navel center and is our center of power, also known as "Hara" center of power in Far-eastern traditions (the adrenal glands). Corresponds to the Sun-influence and the electric power. Coordinates ambition, ego, will-power, dynamism and expansion.
4. HEART CHAKRA
(Color: GREEN - Thymus gland)
Located in the middle of the chest, at the level of the heart (the thymus gland) of the body and is our seat of love and compassion. It is where our animal self meets our spirit self and also where we find our humanity. When it is balanced, one is capable of love, affection, compassion, forgiveness and selflessness.
5. THROAT CHAKRA
(Color: BLUE - Thyroid gland)
Located in the neck and throat area (the thyroid gland) and is our center of communication. Corresponds to the very basic energy of the Universe. When it is balanced, creativity and deep intelligence are manifested.
6. THIRD EYE CHAKRA
(Color: INDIGO - Pituitary gland)
Located at the center of the forehead and just above the eyebrows (the pituitary gland) and is our center of deep insight and intuition. When it is balanced, one is keenly aware of surroundings and can pick up signals (telepathy, hypnosis, clairvoyance, etc) much like a radio receiver. When it is out of alignment, one's thinking is unclear.
7. CROWN CHAKRA
(Color: VIOLET - Pineal gland)
Located at the top of the head (above the physical body) and is the center that synthesizes all the others, our connection to the Infinite (the pineal gland). Often called the 1000 petaled lotus, when balanced, one feels a strong connection with everything. When it is out of alignment, one feels disconnected and depressed, as if something is missing.

"This workshop has made a surprisingly profound difference in how I understand myself and others. Clearly, the ideas taught have been curated from a lifetime of intense training and learning, and Sensei Gomez is a fantastic teacher. Since starting this training, I increasingly find myself where I most want to be: on the threshold of new things with an increased awareness of possibilities."
Carmelo V | Physician
"As a physician, I regularly face complicated situations. The principles that I continue to learn by training with Sensei Gomez help me focus on what is essential in these situations, such as being flexible without losing the center of balance and using opportunities that arise in my favor rather than stubbornly working against them. As a result, everyone, including myself, is safer and more comfortable. Training with Sensei has helped me develop invaluable skills to navigate my daily life better."
Karl B | Architect
"The 8 principles that Sensei Gomez teaches in this workshop are translatable to every aspect of daily life. His ability to communicate these foundational concepts through spoken word, body movements, and expression is highly effective. Each class is a comprehensive and masterful composition of physical, mental, and meditative explorations. I find my life more balanced, disciplined, energetic, and fulfilling."
