​Daily Pangu Shengong (Qi Gong - Chinese Internal Martial Arts) practice has enabled me to find peace in our hectic world. Everyday I feel calm, happy, hopeful, and brave. Before discovering energy cultivation, I thought that I would never work again or enjoy my favorite pastime, walking on a nature trail. Now, I take nature walks with my dog several times a week. My life feels like a dream -- a dream with a lovely beginning...

I was diagnosed with severe rheumatoid arthritis in the summer of 2004. When I learned qi gong in 2011, I had about given up on life. I was very afraid of side effects from my prescriptions and was in constant pain in my knees, ankles, wrists, and shoulders. I was struggling with several lifetimes of physical and emotional pain. Pain that left me bedridden and wheelchair bound while I felt hopelessly stuck and profoundly SAD. Thankfully, I found what I desperately need…what we all need, healing at the soul level which is what I believe Pangu Shengong offers.

As I recovered, I found the courage to become certified to teach two forms of qi gong -- the Pangu Shengong moving form in 2014 and the non moving form in 2017. I finally felt consistently well enough and went back to work. From 2015 - 2016, my 13 years of pet dog training experience and 12 years of living with chronic pain motivated me to write my first children's novel, Dear Carina, Betty's Dreams for you Come True. Then, I opening my own qi gong practitioner practice in 2016. In addition to teaching Pangu Shengong, I offer energy adjustments, meditation instruction, and intuitive advice to people and animals. Pangu Shengong reminded me of my animal communication skills that I turned my back on during adolescence. Once I started practicing and accruing teaching certifications, animals decided that not only was it time to listen again, but it was time for me to help them, too! In 2017, I added animal communication services to my practice. My blog and novel explore my animal communication encounters.

The philosophy of kindness interwoven in Pangu Shengong has changed and enriched my life the most. I am both humbled and inspired while practicing kindness under any circumstance. Family gathering are actually fun! Sometimes I miss the mark and lose my temper, but these days, those difficult moments happen less often. Not only have I learned to always be kind to others, but I also have learned the importance of being kind to myself. Regardless of past mistakes or hurts, we all deserve a peaceful, happy life and we should settle for nothing less.

Now I lead a life unafraid of what the world brings me. I’m happy and much healthier physically, spiritually and emotionally. I have healed emotional wounds some of which, I wasn’t even aware of until after I started practicing. I have never taken pain medication stronger than ibuprofen. After several years self-examination and dedicated practice, my RA is in remission and I have had “no disease activity” since 2015! I have also suffered from migraines. However, I felt a huge energetic release in the front of my forehead during my non moving form teacher training and haven’t had one since. I am so lucky to have met my teacher, qi gong master, Ou Wen Wei and I feel great gratitude for his guidance which challenges me to use my strong will to become my best self. Teaching the gift of Pangu Shengong is a privilege and I feel deeply honored to share this empowering practice with you.

​​When I am not “qi’ing” it up I enjoy: bird watching, training my dog, nature walks, yoga, up-cycling wooden furniture, going out and listening to live, local music, Steeler football, cooking, traveling, and spending time with my dear family and friends.

Set up an appointment with me today. Then I will guide you on your very own "hero's journey" where you too will find life-changing power within your own heart. ​
Peace & Love,
Cristen
