Release Stuck Emotional Energy

Zang Fu Gong is an organ-focused form of qigong that combines gentle movement, breathwork, and mental focus to balance the body's internal energy system. This is an empowering qigong practice that optimizes the function of the organ systems by supporting detoxification and circulation, bringing peace, vitality, and well-being.  

In this retreat, you will learn about:

  • Zang: The solid, "yin" organs like the heart, lungs, liver, spleen, and kidneys that store vital substances
  • Fu: The hollow "yang" organs like the stomach, bladder, gallbladder, large and small and intestines that help to transport and digest waste and bring in nutrition
  • Gong: The practice or "cultivated skill" to arrive at optimized health through disciplined practice

Zang Fu Gong is well-known for how it supports the release of stuck emotional energy or stagnations that can cause emotions like anger, worry, or grief. By opening up the channels to these paired yin yang organs, the blockages can be gently released so that there is a greater sense of peace and well-being.

Daisy will also share a practice called Manual Lymphatic Massage (MLM), to further support the self-healing capacity of students. This takes your immune system to the next level as we need to be able to unload the body of cellular wastes so that nutrients can be absorbed. When these two self-healing systems meet, one from the east, and the other from the west, the benefits are multiplied.

Benefits of the practice include:

  • Improves circulation of the blood and lymph, supporting detoxification and cellular renewal.
  • Optimizes the body's elimination channels to support the gentle release of toxins.
  • Aids those suffering from gut health issues.
  • Improves lung and skin health.
  • Supports heart and cardiovascular health.
  • Rebalances blood pressure, whether high or low.
  • Detoxes the brain through the glymphatic system in the head, improving cognitive function and sleep.

NOTE: This program is open to all levels of practitioners, from newcomers to qigong to advanced practitioners. Hours counted for in-person learning if applying for certification from the National Qigong Association. You must let Daisy know in advance if you need a letter acknowledging attendance and hours present so she can email it to you after you have completed the program.
