Join Feather at the Malama i ke Ola Holistic Health Center to learn the Qigong of Love, the Kuan Yin form.
The Qigong of Love is a form that is based upon the energy of the Goddess of Unconditional Love and Compassion…Kuan Yin. Thus it is known by the name of “Kuan Yin Qigong”. It was channeled by Master Li Junfeng as a form that helps the practitioner to connect to Kuan Yin’s energy and qualities and develop them in their own life.
The qualities associated with Kuan Yin are:
Unconditional Love
Compassion
Mercy and Forgiveness
Gentleness
Kindness
Grace
Even though these are traditionally feminine qualities, both men and women can practice this form to develop more of these traits. The Taoists (Traditional Chinese practitioners) believe that to be happy, an individual needs to cultivate both masculine and feminine qualities within. They may still retain an overall masculine or feminine energy, but they need some of each qualities to be whole.
This is a teaching of the school of Qigong known as Sheng Zhen Gong whose mission statement is: “Guided by the spirit of Unconditional Love we share Sheng Zhen Gong movements and meditation to relax the body, quieten the mind and open the hearts of all of humanity.”

Qigong has physical, emotional and spiritual benefits. This particular form is especially powerful for spiritual development. However, it works on all levels.
Physical Benefits, these can vary depending on the individual. There are many factors that contribute to physical well-being including diet, stress levels, emotional and psychological states of mind.
This form is extremely graceful and flowing. It infuses the practitioner with unconditional love, deep compassion and radical forgiveness.
The benefits include:
- Calming the nervous system and reducing stress
- Increased joint mobility
- Supports a smooth flow of blood and fluids in the body
- Aids in flexibility of the spine
There have been several stories of practitioners healing long term diseases with this form. In Traditional Chinese Medicine this is explained by the increase in flow of blood and chi.
As it is so gentle, it is also possible for those with a restricted physical ability to practice. It can even be adapted to perform seated in a chair, which is helpful in cases of challenged health.
Emotional Benefits
This form is very calming and soothing. We are invited to bring visualizations such as imagining a time when you were a child without any cares in the world, invoking the feeling of child like wonder. These memories and feelings plus the movements have a powerful effect in reducing stress and anxiety. If practiced regularly, the practitioner will start to feel more at ease in life.
This form is also aimed at cultivating love and compassion, it is has a heart-opening effect. Many people shut down their heart in response to pain and heartbreak in their lives. This can make their whole experience of life start to feel dull and meaningless. By cultivating love, the person starts to feel warm-hearted again and can experience more of the emotions associated with an open heart such as joy and connection.
Spiritual Benefits
Many long-term practitioners of this form start to feel that they develop an entire shift in reality and their perception of life due to its powerful spiritual effects.
The presence of Kuan Yin fills this space within these movements. As we connect with the energies of unconditional love, compassion and forgiveness, we first begin to infuse this blessing upon our own life and our own body. Feeling this love, compassion and forgiveness allows us to see life with a sense of wonder and aliveness. As we begin to integrate and feel this healing within it begins to ripple out into our own life. We begin to see others with more compassion and love, we are more available for forgiveness. This is what helps a practitioner to develop a deeper sense of peace within themselves and with the world around them. During these wild times it’s more powerful than ever to connect with the medicine of the sacred mother.
This practice has changed my life. I look forward to sharing this sacred medicine with you.
