A Practice Unifying Consciousness and the Body
Through a qigong practice that combines meditation, breathing, sound, and movement, we create a unified state of body, energy and consciousness that is effective for both maintaining and improving health and cultivating an awakening state of consciousness. The practices are simple and easy to learn and are appropriate for beginners as well as for those who are experienced meditators, yoginis or qigong practitioners. All are welcome!
Benefits of the Practice:
Increased energy & well-being
People who do qigong regularly experience increased energy and well-being as well as a reduction in stress which helps to maintain good health.
Healing & health improvements
A large body of research demonstrates that the practice of qigong can lead to the improvement, and even the resolution, of health issues and illness.
improveD RELATIONSHIPS
Qigong practitioners report that their relationships become more harmonious and that they experience more fulfillment and happiness in daily life.
Development of consciousness
Qigong can be a powerful method for developing consciousness and achieving a more awakened state as well as for the cultivation of intuitive abilities.
Meet Your Teacher—Patricia Seator
At the beginning of 2001, I was fortunate to attend a Zhineng Qigong workshop and discover a practice that synthesizes and amplifies all that was most important to me in my studies and daily practice of the previous two decades. Zhineng Qigong unifies consciousness, qi and the body through meditation, breathing, movement, sound and healing methods, and brings the body along on the journey of awakening. In recent years, my practice and teaching are oriented to the consciousness practices of Zhineng Qigong that deeper all of the other methods we use.
Practicing together naturally connects us heart-to-heart in a mutually supportive community. I especially love practicing and teaching qigong in nature, which further supports our awakening to essence, our true nature.
Qigong in Nature
If you want to have more energy, to feel more alive and connected, there's no better way than doing qigong in a natural setting. When we practice in nature, we draw directly on its pure energy and expand our boundaries to include all of life.
On Saturday mornings, we meet in the beautiful, secluded Stratton Park to do qigong, connecting with nature to gather its pure energy for improving health and awakening our deeper consciousness. Our practices include guided and silent meditation, breathing, sound and simple meditative movements and healing methods that unify body, energy and consciousness. In this open and unified state, we connect with nature together and in solo time, and share our experiences in a supportive group environment. That sharing can include visual or written journaling that one may choose to do during our quiet time in nature.

Private Qigong Sessions
A private session can help you identify and address blockages that may arise from time to time in your qigong or meditation practice. To tailor a session to your particular needs, it may be focused in a number of different ways, as follows:
1) Healing focused in one of two ways: a) a personalized consciousness-based qigong healing session; or b) attuned support for transforming blockages through deep observation from a pure consciousness state.
2) Assistance in integrating the benefits of your practice into your daily activities and relationships to improve the quality of your life.
3) Qigong movement, breath, sound or meditation instruction that can help you establish or deepen a practice.
Cost: $60 for an hour session
Where: In you are scheduling an in-person session, it will take place with Patricia at the Mountain Qi Studio, 322 N. Tejon St., Ste 226, Colorado Springs. If you are scheduling a Zoom session, you will receive a link by email prior to the date and time of the session you have scheduled.
