Workshop Description

Maahaah Rooh Medical Qi Gong is a highly effective and easily retainable system of Qi Gong designed for massage therapists, acupuncturists, physical therapists and nurses that allows them to restore their energy (Qi) so they can maintain maximum efficacy on a continual basis. Dr. Shakoor has successfully worked with health practitioners in educational and clinical environments over the course of thirty years.

It consists of a set of breathing exercises designed to cultivate life force energy (Qi). The objective of Maahaah Rooh Medical Qi Gong is to teach a step-by-step method of exercise to keep the body and mind in optimal fitness. This is a very low-impact form of exercise that includes standing movements (Zhan Zhuang) and slow movements similar in style to Tai Chi Chuan.

Individuals will enhance their fluidity of movement, coordination, and balance, resulting in greater flexibility and stress reduction through the application of deep relaxation, breathing techniques and methods of stillness. The purpose is to detoxify the body’s organs of impurities and toxins, then regenerate and invigorate the body so that one feels refreshed, both physically and mentally.

Dr. Shakoor has instructed the practices of Maahaah Rooh Medical Qi Gong in a variety of settings. In addition to the clinical settings mentioned above, he has also presented them at numerous workshops across the country, institutes of higher learning in Florida, Michigan, Pennsylvania, Maryland, New York, New Jersey and Ohio, and has presented three times at the annual conference of the National Qi Gong Association.

Maahaah Rooh Medical Qi Gong is an excellent introduction to the energetic experience and encompasses both physical and mental aspects. This article will briefly explore Form One of the Heavenly Hands Medical Qi Gong– Seven Palms—which is part of its physical process, and will then explore mindfulness and meditation, and Traditional Chinese Medicine theory.

What Participants Need to Bring to Class: Wear loose comfortable clothing, water and snacks.
