Seven Methods Qigong for Self Healing DVD

Improve Wellness and Sense of Well-Being!

“Seven Methods Qigong for Self Healing”

This video was produced to support the qigong for beginners classes conducted at Starfarm during the summer of 2010.  In these classes, beginners learned how to use self-healing qigong for beginners techniques.

Qigong is now widely used and accepted as Integrative Medicine for wellness and well-being. Using this Qigong (cheegoong) video “notebook”, Laddie Sacharko presents the information given during classes at Starfarm during the summer of 2010.  Learn these seven self healing techniques of:  Pressing, Patting Rubbing, Stretching, Sounding, Visualization, and Meditation. The beginner, or any practitioner can begin to have qigong experiences immediately. Using video is easier to learn than reading from a book. “What” and “How To” are clearly demonstrated.  What to expect is clearly described.  Students will have a better chance of success with home practice.  Jargon and foreign language is deliberately not used, the beginner is not overwhelmed with information unnecessary to the experience.

Mastering Qigong is not “sudden enlightenment” it is a gradual awakening.  Experience a dimension of self too often neglected until confrontation with serious illness. These simple techniques bring the practitioner to an awareness of qi and flow. The beginner learns to cultivate wellness and a sense of well-being using qigong.

Your Qiong Instructor

Laddie Sacharko has been learning and practicing Tai Chi and Qigong since 1988. In 1998, he began teaching these magnificent ideas to others. As a Practitioner member of the National Qigong Association, and certified Master Tai Chi Teacher by the American Tai Chi & Qigong Association, Laddie has presented across the nation, and across the street, to the general public, and to state and national professional organizations.

In 2001, he received direct transmission by Master Duan Zhi Liang of a method for “healing” others, called “Wei Qi Gong”. Laddie has prepared a new video presenting that information so that it will not be lost since Dr. Duan has died.

He has been learning from and teaching physical therapy and other rehabilitation professionals since 2008. As an independent researcher, Laddie assisted with a pilot program, and then a broader study of the effect of tai chi on balance and fear of falling. The Results “Balance and Functional Outcomes for Older Community-Dwelling Adults Who Practice Tai Chi and Those Who Do Not: A Comparative Study” were published in Journal of Geriatric Physical Therapy. 2019 Oct/Dec; 42(4):209-215. doi: 10.1519/JPT.0000000000000153.

Two New Classes Added for Fall at Starfarm

Much interest has been expressed in continuing the Chinese Yoga routine introduced this summer here at Starfarm, and some further interest in other qigong sets, or routines.  To address this interest I’m offering up two new classes for 6 weeks in the fall.

One class will be offered for teachers after school,(430) beginning Sept 16th.  You can find more detail at:  After School.

Additionally, a second class will be offered on Weds beginning on Sept 15th, from 630-800, and will include other aspects and techniques for qigong beginners.   More info can be found at Chinese Yoga II
