The Spiritual Depth of Qigong - Debra Weisenburger Lipetz
Manage episode 431665756 series 3564825
Qigong’s transformative power is no secret, however for Debra Weisenburger Lipetz that’s always been the tip of the iceberg. A Zhineng Qigong teacher herself, Debra shares her journey focusing solely on techniques to discover a deeper, more spiritual dimension of Qigong. Formlessness the goal - for this should be the natural state of being.
In Qigong practice she discusses the three essential conditions: Trust, willed focus & action. Personal growth and transformation are the result when these elements are in accord. In Zhineng Qigong, the aim is balance between mind, body, and spirit.
Trust in your wisdom and intuition grows with consistent Qigong practice. Intention to practice arises as individuals experience the transformative effects of Qigong. Action is essential for progress, as it bridges the gap between intention and realisation. “Dr. Pang has given us all these tools, and we can pick and choose what works for us. And keep changing and evolving, and that's how we progress.”, Debra explains. Being one of the few westerners who’s had the privilege of meeting the founder of Zhineng Qigong, Dr Pang Ming.
Ego in Qigong is never the answer, as it hinders you from discovering your true self. The western adage of, “comparison is the thief of joy” rings true in the practice of Qigong. Debra emphasises we are all on our own path and at our own pace to self discovery.
Through Qigong, an awareness shift is a common experience as students and teachers deepen their connection to themselves and the world around them. Spiritual growth is a natural consequence of consistent Qigong practice, as individuals discover their true self and purpose, as Debra notes during this episode.
