Shaolin Temple Grand Master Shi DeRu invites health conscious people of all ages to take advantage of limited openings in Shaolin Institute’s 2013 Qi Retreat “Healing-Awakening & Enlightening The Body’s Internal Defense System”.
Grand Master Shi DeRu, 31st generation indoor disciple of the venerable Great Grand Master Shi Suxi, and world-renowned Shaolin martial arts Master, highly sought after teacher, esteemed scholar, and U.S. Olympic Sanshou Team Coach will be conducting a broad array of lessons to facilitate optimal mind/body health and wellness. The 2013 Shaolin Qi Retreat will be held February 22nd through the 25th at the Pensacola Beach Escapade in Pensacola Beach, Florida.
The Immune Defense Series focuses on awakening and energizing the inner wisdom of the body to promote self-healing and empower individuals to take control of their physical and mental well-being. The ancient wisdom of the Shaolin Temple Masters will be shared with people seeking a foundation for a positive physical and mental health transformation. Grand Master DeRu will lead students in Zen meditation exercises, his own stylized healing art of Tai Gong, Qi Gong, and will teach lessons in Chan nutrition.
Master DeRu will begin by teaching participants controlled breathing techniques while stretching and moving in various postures to relax the muscles, tendons, and ligaments and improve the body’s natural energy flow (“Qi”). Tai Gong Flex, Tai Gong for the Immune System, and Qi Gong Yi guided mental exercises will improve mental and physical well-being while balancing Qi flow. Shaolin Tai Gong will help each participant increase muscle power and free oneself from emotions and mental attachments that all too often derail mind/body health. Yi Jing Tai Gong (mind/immune system cleansing) is aimed at revitalizing the Qi channels to improve Qi flow and restore balance to the body’s natural healing energy. All these lessons are key to detoxifying and improving the body’s natural defense system and each teaches techniques that harness and focus the power of the mind on healing the body. Yi Jin Tai Gong is one of the mind-body medical Qi Gong programs Grand Master Shi DeRu is releasing to his students without reservation for the first time. Seminars will include segments of traditional Shaolin Qi Gong, therapeutic exercises proven to improve joint conditioning and facilitate mind/body cleansing through Zen (Chan) meditation.
Chan nutrition lessons are vital to healthy mind/body nourishment. Chan fruit and vegetable based nutrition lessons will help students understand how to provide a sufficient supply of oxygen-rich food. Participants will be taught how to enrich the diet to cleanse and restore specific organ function, directing students to a dietary path that has been proven to stave off cancer, heart disease, diabetes, and obesity related health complications. By the end of the Retreat, each participant will have learned how to nutritionally cleanse, restore, and continuously strengthen the autoimmune system.
Past Retreat Attendee Susan Chan said of her experience, “Grand Master DeRu’s Qi Retreat has consistently given me a knowledge base of Asian wisdom promoting mind/body health and wellness and has taught me a way of life dedicated to attaining and preserving good health and well-being.”
