| QI GONG MASTER OU WEN WEI TO VISIT PORTLAND
We are fortunate to have one of the world's leading Qigong experts coming to Portland. Ou Wen Wei is a Qigong Grand Master, author, healer, teacher and calligrapher. Master Ou will present a series of workshops at The Movement Center and will be available for private healing sessions. Master Ou teaches Pan Gu Shengong, one of many types of Qigong. His form is unique because it is so simple for novices to learn. Qigong (pronounced "Chi-Kung") is an ancient self-healing meditative exercise combining movement and breath to enhance the flow of energy or qi in the body and mind and to improve circulation and the immune function. The key emphasis of Qigong is to teach people how to remain well. Medical studies have also shown that doing Qigong regularly helps decrease the heart rate and blood pressure, provides oxygen to the body and helps the immune system. It also coordinates right and left brain activity which helps to free the mind from anxiety, promoting more restful sleep and mental clarity. The practice of Qigong can range from standing still to complex calisthenic type movement. The Pan Gu Shengong form which Ou will be teaching is a standing form with simple hand movements suitable for people with limited physical mobility (or anyone, for that matter). Pan Gu Shengong, known as "The Heaven, Earth, Sun and Moon Qigong," was formulated by Master Ou according to the basic characteristics of the physiological structures of the human body and the relationship between man and the universe. Master Ou believes that by exercising his form of Qigong, people will benefit by absorbing directly the material elements of nature which are beneficial to the human body. Chinese ancient philosophical thought focuses on the harmony between heaven, earth, and man. Master Ou believes that when the relationship between the four elements of heaven, earth, sun and moon loses balance, existence with natural law is directly influenced. When natural harmony is altered, disturbance and struggle is brought about. According to Master Ou, the main cause of disease is due to fatigue and the wear of the body'sl organs and functions after continuous overwork. This leads to physiological obstructions which produce disease. "My wish," comments Master Ou, "is that all people will become healthy in the world. I devote my love for mankind by teaching Pan Gu Shengong."
