The closest translation of Qi – Gong into English would be Power Management".Qi-Gong exercises are very useful in modern life, where the popular lifestyle is: "more = better", More work, money, things, power, pleasure, success, action etc. All that pressure can create notable dis-balance in life and attract disease.But this tendency can be avoided by harmonizing inner flow of Qi. "Swinging" Qi Gong for beginners, is one of the ways to resolve old patterns of psycho-corporal movement into new experience. It increases general well-being, especially if done as a regular practice with right attitude and joy to learn something new for yourself from the experience practicing in the group. Andres is a Practicing Traditional Acupuncturist for 18 years, he will show some exercises that are oriented to harmonize Qi flow, reduce stress, and increase vitality. +91 (0)9487272393.

Since the beginning of the Human Life, people from all over the world are connected with special shapes; the Mandalas are part of them. Carl Jung, long time ago, discovered that the practice of drawing mandalas, in spontaneous way, it produces effects and a benefit on our own Life, harmonizing and rebalancing whatever is in need. - My role on all this is to guide you into the process of drawing, the mandala as a Sacred Circle, our own Universe, where to express our inner being of that moment, the moment we draw inside it, using different techniques, to reach spontaneously your center, your reconnection with yourself. Material all included in the requested contribution. Please contact me for all details: 9787702844 or rosalba@auroville.org.in.

The closest translation of Qi – Gong into English would be Power Management".Qi-Gong exercises are very useful in modern life, where the popular lifestyle is: "more = better", More work, money, things, power, pleasure, success, action etc. All that pressure can create notable dis-balance in life and attract disease.But this tendency can be avoided by harmonizing inner flow of Qi. "Swinging" Qi Gong for beginners, is one of the ways to resolve old patterns of psycho-corporal movement into new experience. It increases general well-being, especially if done as a regular practice with right attitude and joy to learn something new for yourself from the experience practicing in the group. Andres is a Practicing Traditional Acupuncturist for 18 years, he will show some exercises that are oriented to harmonize Qi flow, reduce stress, and increase vitality. +91 (0)9487272393.

The closest translation of Qi – Gong into English would be Power Management".Qi-Gong exercises are very useful in modern life, where the popular lifestyle is: "more = better", More work, money, things, power, pleasure, success, action etc. All that pressure can create notable dis-balance in life and attract disease.But this tendency can be avoided by harmonizing inner flow of Qi. "Swinging" Qi Gong for beginners, is one of the ways to resolve old patterns of psycho-corporal movement into new experience. It increases general well-being, especially if done as a regular practice with right attitude and joy to learn something new for yourself from the experience practicing in the group. Andres is a Practicing Traditional Acupuncturist for 18 years, he will show some exercises that are oriented to harmonize Qi flow, reduce stress, and increase vitality. +91 (0)9487272393.

The closest translation of Qi – Gong into English would be Power Management".Qi-Gong exercises are very useful in modern life, where the popular lifestyle is: "more = better", More work, money, things, power, pleasure, success, action etc. All that pressure can create notable dis-balance in life and attract disease.But this tendency can be avoided by harmonizing inner flow of Qi. "Swinging" Qi Gong for beginners, is one of the ways to resolve old patterns of psycho-corporal movement into new experience. It increases general well-being, especially if done as a regular practice with right attitude and joy to learn something new for yourself from the experience practicing in the group. Andres is a Practicing Traditional Acupuncturist for 18 years, he will show some exercises that are oriented to harmonize Qi flow, reduce stress, and increase vitality. +91 (0)9487272393.

The closest translation of Qi – Gong into English would be Power Management".Qi-Gong exercises are very useful in modern life, where the popular lifestyle is: "more = better", More work, money, things, power, pleasure, success, action etc. All that pressure can create notable dis-balance in life and attract disease.But this tendency can be avoided by harmonizing inner flow of Qi. "Swinging" Qi Gong for beginners, is one of the ways to resolve old patterns of psycho-corporal movement into new experience. It increases general well-being, especially if done as a regular practice with right attitude and joy to learn something new for yourself from the experience practicing in the group. Andres is a Practicing Traditional Acupuncturist for 18 years, he will show some exercises that are oriented to harmonize Qi flow, reduce stress, and increase vitality. +91 (0)9487272393.

The closest translation of Qi – Gong into English would be Power Management".Qi-Gong exercises are very useful in modern life, where the popular lifestyle is: "more = better", More work, money, things, power, pleasure, success, action etc. All that pressure can create notable dis-balance in life and attract disease.But this tendency can be avoided by harmonizing inner flow of Qi. "Swinging" Qi Gong for beginners, is one of the ways to resolve old patterns of psycho-corporal movement into new experience. It increases general well-being, especially if done as a regular practice with right attitude and joy to learn something new for yourself from the experience practicing in the group. Andres is a Practicing Traditional Acupuncturist for 18 years, he will show some exercises that are oriented to harmonize Qi flow, reduce stress, and increase vitality. +91 (0)9487272393.

The closest translation of Qi – Gong into English would be Power Management".Qi-Gong exercises are very useful in modern life, where the popular lifestyle is: "more = better", More work, money, things, power, pleasure, success, action etc. All that pressure can create notable dis-balance in life and attract disease.But this tendency can be avoided by harmonizing inner flow of Qi. "Swinging" Qi Gong for beginners, is one of the ways to resolve old patterns of psycho-corporal movement into new experience. It increases general well-being, especially if done as a regular practice with right attitude and joy to learn something new for yourself from the experience practicing in the group. Andres is a Practicing Traditional Acupuncturist for 18 years, he will show some exercises that are oriented to harmonize Qi flow, reduce stress, and increase vitality. +91 (0)9487272393.

Since the beginning of the Human Life, people from all over the world are connected with special shapes; the Mandalas are part of them. Carl Jung, long time ago, discovered that the practice of drawing mandalas, in spontaneous way, it produces effects and a benefit on our own Life, harmonizing and rebalancing whatever is in need. - My role on all this is to guide you into the process of drawing, the mandala as a Sacred Circle, our own Universe, where to express our inner being of that moment, the moment we draw inside it, using different techniques, to reach spontaneously your center, your reconnection with yourself.

The closest translation of Qi – Gong into English would be Power Management".Qi-Gong exercises are very useful in modern life, where the popular lifestyle is: "more = better", More work, money, things, power, pleasure, success, action etc. All that pressure can create notable dis-balance in life and attract disease.But this tendency can be avoided by harmonizing inner flow of Qi. "Swinging" Qi Gong for beginners, is one of the ways to resolve old patterns of psycho-corporal movement into new experience. It increases general well-being, especially if done as a regular practice with right attitude and joy to learn something new for yourself from the experience practicing in the group. Andres is a Practicing Traditional Acupuncturist for 18 years, he will show some exercises that are oriented to harmonize Qi flow, reduce stress, and increase vitality. +91 (0)9487272393.

The closest translation of Qi – Gong into English would be Power Management".Qi-Gong exercises are very useful in modern life, where the popular lifestyle is: "more = better", More work, money, things, power, pleasure, success, action etc. All that pressure can create notable dis-balance in life and attract disease.But this tendency can be avoided by harmonizing inner flow of Qi. "Swinging" Qi Gong for beginners, is one of the ways to resolve old patterns of psycho-corporal movement into new experience. It increases general well-being, especially if done as a regular practice with right attitude and joy to learn something new for yourself from the experience practicing in the group. Andres is a Practicing Traditional Acupuncturist for 18 years, he will show some exercises that are oriented to harmonize Qi flow, reduce stress, and increase vitality. +91 (0)9487272393.

The closest translation of Qi – Gong into English would be Power Management".Qi-Gong exercises are very useful in modern life, where the popular lifestyle is: "more = better", More work, money, things, power, pleasure, success, action etc. All that pressure can create notable dis-balance in life and attract disease.But this tendency can be avoided by harmonizing inner flow of Qi. "Swinging" Qi Gong for beginners, is one of the ways to resolve old patterns of psycho-corporal movement into new experience. It increases general well-being, especially if done as a regular practice with right attitude and joy to learn something new for yourself from the experience practicing in the group. Andres is a Practicing Traditional Acupuncturist for 18 years, he will show some exercises that are oriented to harmonize Qi flow, reduce stress, and increase vitality. +91 (0)9487272393.

The closest translation of Qi – Gong into English would be Power Management".Qi-Gong exercises are very useful in modern life, where the popular lifestyle is: "more = better", More work, money, things, power, pleasure, success, action etc. All that pressure can create notable dis-balance in life and attract disease.But this tendency can be avoided by harmonizing inner flow of Qi. "Swinging" Qi Gong for beginners, is one of the ways to resolve old patterns of psycho-corporal movement into new experience. It increases general well-being, especially if done as a regular practice with right attitude and joy to learn something new for yourself from the experience practicing in the group. Andres is a Practicing Traditional Acupuncturist for 18 years, he will show some exercises that are oriented to harmonize Qi flow, reduce stress, and increase vitality. +91 (0)9487272393.

The closest translation of Qi – Gong into English would be Power Management".Qi-Gong exercises are very useful in modern life, where the popular lifestyle is: "more = better", More work, money, things, power, pleasure, success, action etc. All that pressure can create notable dis-balance in life and attract disease.But this tendency can be avoided by harmonizing inner flow of Qi. "Swinging" Qi Gong for beginners, is one of the ways to resolve old patterns of psycho-corporal movement into new experience. It increases general well-being, especially if done as a regular practice with right attitude and joy to learn something new for yourself from the experience practicing in the group.
