Activate Your Healer Within with Qigong, Tai Chi & Circle of Life Coaching

Qigong (pronounced chee-gong), the practice of energy cultivation, and Tai Chi (pronounced tie-chee), the practice of balance and harmony, are ancient Chinese exercises that promote optimal health, vitality and longevity.

"When you cultivate balance and harmony within yourself, or in the world -- that is Tai Chi. When you work and play with the essence and energy of life, nature and the universe for healing, clarity and inner peace -- that is Qigong."
- Dr. Roger Jahnke

The 4 components to Qigong/Tai Chi are:

  • Mindful Movements, Breathwork, Meditation, and Self-Applied Massage
  • Mindful movements, synchronized with the breath, gently exercise and stretch the body.
  • Deep breathing and meditation relaxes and centers the body, mind and spirit.
  • Self-applied massage of hands, feet, ears and scalp stimulate acupressure points to improve organ function , the immune system and energy flow.

Qigong classes concentrate on optimal health, longevity, vitality and healing the body. The exercises reduce stress and improve the practitioners' overall health and sense of well-being. Exercises can be done seated, standing or lying down, thus, they are an excellent practice for those who are recovering from surgery illness or injury as well as those who want to maintain and improve their health.

Tai Chi & Qigong

Health Benefits of Qigong and Tai Chi

Qigong and Tai Chi are ancient Chinese practices that promote optimal health, vitality and longevity. Developed over millennia in Chinese monasteries, hospitals, and imperial courts, Qigong was kept a carefully guarded secret from the Chinese public, Qigong has recently come into widespread use throughout the Far East. Now, in the West, it is viewed as a health and human performance breakthrough, as well as an ancient power tool for self-improvement and a safe, gentle, proven approach to treating pain and disease.

On Monday, September 27, 2010, The New York Times published the following article on the benefits of Tai Chi for personal health!

"Tai chi is often described as "meditation in motion," but it might well be called "medication in motion." There is growing evidence that this mind-body practice, which originated in China as a martial art, has value in treating or preventing many health problems." - Harvard Women's Health Watch May 2009

Testimonials for Jessica Kolbe:

Jessica teaches with artistry, enthusiasm, and awareness of her students. I leave with joyful, healing energy, and a natural high.
- Jane A., Santa Barbara, CA

I would like to say how positive an impact Qigong has had on my life over the last year. Jessica was my first teacher. I was hooked after the first experience. I had always wanted to learn Qigong or Tai Chi. Now I do it at least once a week sometimes two or three times. The connection I feel with Jessica is very healing mentally and physically. I am forever grateful, especially in times of great stress or illness, that I have learned to practice the breathing and simple movements. Be well and happy.
