One of the most important yet baffling aspects of recovery is coming to intuit a sense of the Divine or Higher Power. Qigong offers tools and broadens options by opening the senses in a slightly different but very practical way. It makes possible the conditions for expanded awareness of ourselves and our place in the cosmos. It promotes conditions for increased oxytocin and serotonin levels which foster feelings of calmness, fluidity and safety.
I developed this program as an outgrowth of my own journey in recovery and now share it with people interested in broadening their horizons in terms of wellness. Recovery of the Way is a simplified and direct method of mind-body wellness, tailored to engage our inborn capacity for healing and recovery. This approach to Qigong merges superb mind/body practices—gentle movement, breath training, meditation, acupressure, and compassionate self- awareness—to bring about an enduring sense of calm and wellness. In the process, one becomes attuned to a vibrant continuum that can be leveraged through breath and movement. This is an experience that is both restorative and healing. The practice of Qigong supports the inborn sense of awareness and intelligence so fundamentally important to the 12-step process.
