The Center for Tibetan Qigong — Napa Valley
“Everyone wants to be happy and healthy. We all have great untapped potential for self-healing. Our bodies are infinitely wise and want to be well. Our hearts want to express the boundless compassion and joy that is our true identity. Tibetan Qigong offers us a way to bring forth this inborn wisdom and ability.”
— Master Zi Sheng Wang
Tibetan Qigong Four Foundation Practices
Five Element Stake
The postures & movements in this form accumulate fresh elemental energies from nature & the universe to replace unhealthy qi in the body’s related organ systems. In addition to enabling one to accumulate fresh qi, this qigong balances & strengthens the body down to the cellular level so that self-healing can take place.
One Finger Zen Still Form
The fingers & toes are like the body’s electrical switches. Moving them activates a healthy flow of energy that balances & adjusts the corresponding organ systems. This rare qigong uses gentle movements to clear blockages, improve circulation & balance energy. Standing, sitting & lying down positions are taught.
One Finger Zen Dynamic Form
The meridians are natural energy pathways for ridding the body of disease & retaining good health. Through nine different movements, this practice gives one the ability to quickly gather energy & clear the meridians of blockages. Taught to the elite Shaolin monks more than 1,000 years ago, Master Wang & his teacher, the highly accomplished Khenpo Munsel Rinpoche, included this practice as part of a strong foundation for Tibetan Qigong because of its long history of effectiveness.

Thousands of years old, qigong (pronounced chee-gong) acknowledges the infinite wisdom of the body-mind. Through movement and meditation, the foundation practices of Tibetan Qigong can rapidly increase and balance the energies in the body, reduce stress and enhance the immune system. These practices have shown outstanding results for healing disease and building both physical and inner strength. They are also effective as preparation for achievement of high levels of Vajrayana practice.
The basic practices in Tibetan Qigong are easy to learn and well-suited for people at different levels of health and fitness. Some forms can be done effectively while sitting or lying down. The movements are gentle, simple and bring rapid results.
