ZHINENG QIGONG

For those who need an introduction to what is Zhineng Qigong, I refer to “Explanation Zhineng Qigong”.

I refer to my book “Indomitableness – How to Find Your True Nature” about Maarten’s journey with Qigong.

About practicing and teaching I refer to “About Maarten and Qigong”.

QIGONG IS ABOUT WELL-BEING
Well-being – regardless of and including your life experiences

Maarten gives qigong – theory and practical exercises – to take your well-being into your own hands and thus increase it. He follows his own principles – from psychology, traditional Chinese medicine and psychotherapy:

1. Theory: Learning from your positive and negative experiences – your foundation in your life
2. Practice Qigong: What is on your mind right now, the only thing that lives – acceptance and trust
3. Qi-Energy Result = theory and practice: Who am I – my energy field
4. Intention = deepening of what you already know: What do I want and how do I get there

ABOUT MAARTEN AND QIGONG

During his secondary school education Maarten (1966) unintentionally goes through a difficult period, in which he becomes aware of his sensitivity and impending doom of illness. Invisible, and withdrawing from the environment, symptoms make him shiver inside. Yet he tries everything to live a normal life. He studies, practices sports at a high level and starts an ambitious career. Terminal kidney disease puts an end to all illusions. He is forced to give up everything. In him is the awakening of a life that will be, to open his heart to the beautiful and very difficult moments, to transcend them, so that despite kidney failure he finds a safe place in himself.

Qigong has this desired effect on him: he heals his life and is allowed to coach, instruct and inspire others. Maarten quickly learns qigong, the theory of which feels like a glove. Practice requires a lot from Maarten in view of his severe disease symptoms. He focuses on the simple references from the theory about how to gather and retain more energy. He can endure his symptoms of illness and his difficult medical process from rest and less physical complaints. Maarten sees the energy field and his foundation in life as his field of work with which he helps others and allows himself to be inspired. From the heart he works with Hester on a healing practice for people of all ages who are willing to face their successes and their vulnerabilities, so that they can be and remain a full human in their environment. Qi Gong is a set of self-healing movement meditations, holistic scientific theory based on everyone’s own wisdom of life.
