MEET YOUR GUIDE
The name Xie Chuan means river of thanks. He is originally from Yunnan province, close to the border of Tibet, and now resides with his family in Shanghai.
Xie Chuan started practising Qigong 35 years ago. At 17 years old, when doctors diagnosed his mother with Meniere disease and said there was nothing they could do for her, he took her to the park every day to practice Qigong. She was experiencing extreme dizziness so badly she felt the whole room was turning. Qigong was her last hope. Within 25 days, she was completely cured, and to this day, it has never returned. Witnessing his mother’s remarkable cure, he went without hesitation to attend teacher training at the Huaxia Centre- China’s largest medicineless hospital experiment.
In later years, Teacher Xie Chuan was vice-chancellor at the Xian Zhineng Qigong Scientific Research Centre for four years. He has also worked with the Harmonious Big Family/Daohearts teacher team.
His teaching style and qi field are both humorous and powerful. His experienced guidance will take you into deeper levels of consciousness and direct you to the heart of practice.

Where Is Your Light House?
We can learn many methods, but without the right foundation, we can never know trust. Without the right foundation, we can not get good effects from methods. So we wander from method to method—teacher to teacher without long-lasting effects. We are always looking outside of ourselves for the solution.
Where is your lighthouse and where is your trust are some themes we will explore through guided meditation, simple qigong forms, and dialogue to gain direct realisation through practice, self-enquiry, sharing and healing in a strong collective energy field.
There are many methods but it doesn’t mean that everyone has to learn and practice all of them. They were designed for different people with different needs.
Which leads to the next question? Where is your connection?
Teacher Xie will bring a fresh new approach to everything you thought you knew about Zhineng Qigong, including a new approach to practising methods with a universal application accessible to all yogis, meditators and qigongers. Warming your heart, nourishing your mind, body and spirit.
WHO IS IT FOR?
CONNECTING WITH THE SOURCE OF HEALING AND THE NATURE OF REALITY THROUGH GUIDED MEDITATIONS. QIGONG HEALING AND CONVERSATIONS.
Xie Chuan’s training, teaching, and practice are deeply rooted in Zhineng Qigong. Yet his teachings go beyond forms, making him universal and accessible to everyone of all disciplines interested in discovering the nature of reality and the true source of healing through meditation, static and dynamic forms, and dialogue. This course will benefit everyone no matter what form of practice they follow.
