A man who has mastered the Chinese art of qigong and moved beyond to create his own theories of energy exercise and healing is coming to Grass Valley next week.
Qigong (chee-gung) exercises build the immune system through movements and breathing techniques similar to those used in yoga and tai chi. Practitioners call the result “moving meditation.”
Qigong master Jixing Li believes it can help people improve their physical health and heal disease through the development of the energy present in the physical organism.
In next week's workshops, Li will teach people how to use qigong to cleanse the body and neurological system of toxins.
Personal healing can lead to the healing of urgent environmental issues facing the planet, he said.
He is one of the few licensed by the Institute of Qigong Science and Research of China, and is solely authorized by that institute to issue qigong licenses in Japan.
Li, now a resident of Mountain View, Calif., has worked with researchers from University of California, Irvine, at Duke University, at Pennsylvania State University's Materials Research Laboratory and Japan's Agency of Science and Technology to document the effect of energy healing on illnesses including cancer, he said.
Li is the founder of the theory of multi-dimensional unified universal energy, “which breaks through the limitations of three-dimensional logical thinking,” according to his nonprofit Universal Energy Foundation.
Li will give a free talk from 1 to 2 p.m. Feb. 11, at Grass Valley Aikikai, 964 Golden Gate Terrace, Grass Valley.
Workshops on energy detoxification and stress reduction will be from 2:30 to 5 p.m. Saturday, and from 9:30 a.m. to 12 p.m. Sunday. Cost for the workshops is $90 for one day or $160 for both days.
Registration requires a $25 deposit.
