Qi-ssage Massage Courses
Spring Forest Qigong offers a unique take on Qigong with this practice. Unlike traditional methods, Qi-ssage blends ancient Chinese massage and Qigong principles into a distinctive system. This approach plays a significant role in SFQ practices.
The techniques focus on the body’s energy lines, where yin and yang energies flow. Balanced and free-flowing energies maintain health, while imbalances or blockages can cause various symptoms. Additionally, the techniques use acupressure to address these blockages. Practitioners learn to apply precise pressure at specific points to alleviate symptoms effectively.

Here are some techniques from the course:
- Elbow Massage: Massaging the heart channel running through your elbow can relieve issues related to heart energy flow.
- Finger Massage: Techniques include pinching the tips of your fingers to aid energy flow in the heart or rubbing each finger on both hands to reduce body tension.
