INNER ALCHEMY QIGONG LEVEL 1

Online training

3–4 January 2026

Taught by Senior Instructor Gillian Reid

Beginner-friendly | Lifetime recording access | 10 UHT Passport credits

Traditional Chinese Medicine is grounded in centuries of knowledge developed by ancient Taoists in their pursuit of health, longevity, and spiritual enlightenment. The following Qigong practices are designed to promote physical balance and foster a deeper sense of spiritual connection.

A central principle of Taoist approaches to health and longevity is enhancing the circulation of bodily fluids and energy. Reducing internal stagnation and improving the body's natural capacity to circulate these fluids is considered essential.

For Taoist spiritual practice, understanding and utilising various methods to accumulate cosmic energy is vital. On the earthly plane, this relates to the Five Elements: Water, Wood, Fire, Earth, and Metal. In the celestial context, it draws upon the influence of planets such as Mercury, Jupiter, Mars, Saturn, and Venus.

Craniosacral Qigong

Participants will learn techniques to activate cranial and sacral pumps, which support the regulation of cerebrospinal fluid, as well as additional methods for enhancing blood and lymphatic flow.

Stem Cell Qigong

Through self-tapping and breathing exercises that activate the bones and thymus gland, this method aims to stimulate stem cell production for regeneration and to support the immune system.

Wisdom Qigong

This powerful meditation introduces the pathway that connects the major organs to the five earthly energies: Water, Wood, Fire, Earth, and Metal. It then continues by building the connection between the Earth elements and their associated planets.
