After a long pause, my “Basic Qigong Meditation” CD is officially re-released. This is a guided meditation with a focus on the lower Dantian (abdominal energy center). It has been used since 1997 (the cassette era!) to build Qi (vital energy) and reduce stress. It has been used for fatigue, insomnia, pre and post surgery, during chemo and labor, and to journey within. Available through my office and Inner Sage Healing Arts Center ($ 11 at the office or $ 11+ Shipping and Handling by mail). Enjoy!

What people are saying:
