Lungs of Compassion: Healing the Lungs, Heart, and Emotions Through Body, Qi & Consciousness.

Discover the ground of being through insightful teachings, Qigong internal arts, meaningful sharing, and transformative practice with teacher Xie 

In our rapidly moving, technology-driven society, our minds are often in overdrive, leading to a persistent state of mild anxiety. Many of us carry unnoticed layers of trauma—ranging from mild to deep—that have become so embedded in our daily routines that they seem normal. This pervasive stress has sparked a surge in depression and anxiety, impacting even the youngest among us.
 
Our way of living affects both our lungs and our subtle energy body. Much like a fragile net, our lungs trap emotions like grief, sadness, and self-doubt—thoughts of "I'm not good enough. I must work harder." These emotional burdens weaken our lungs and immune system and obstruct our natural energy flow, making it challenging to achieve deep healing and inner peace.
 
Lungs of Compassion is a retreat aimed at helping you shed emotional burdens, open your heart, and restore balance to your energy body. Under the experienced guidance and unique approach of teacher Xie.
 
Through practices like mudra, sound, simple movements, group sharing, meditation, and compassionate awareness, we provide an environment where healing can naturally occur. As we transition from tension to compassion, we enhance both our physical and emotional resilience, allowing for profound clarity and renewal.
 

This year’s central theme explores the profound connection between the lungs and emotions, as well as their influence on the heart. Our approach integrates mindfulness with the energetic wisdom of Qigong and the healing principles of the Five Organs, including the emotional aspects found in Traditional Chinese Medicine. Through experiential workshops and somatic awareness practices, we guide participants in awakening their inner master.

The Lungs Of Compassion: Healing The Emotions and Heart
A Transformative Journey Through Qigong and Mindful Healing

 

Many dedicated Mindfulness, Qigong, and Yoga practitioners eventually hit a plateau—trapped in techniques, form, and logic. The very practices meant to bring freedom become new limitations.

 

Through right intention and focus, participants will cultivate a deeper connection within. The workshop is centered on helping individuals find their root— deep from within-the essential foundation linking us to heaven, earth, and our true heart.

Deepening Presence: A Rare Opportunity to Heal, Connect, and Transform with a Master Teacher

This is a rare opportunity to practice with an exceptional master teacher in a small, dedicated, and focused group.

At the retreat, we will delve into our inner being and reconnect with our true essence. We will also prioritize increasing our grounding to strengthen our connection to nature. Our focus will be on releasing negative emotions in the lungs, promoting compassion, and supporting the body and immune system.

Exploring the Deep Connection Between Lungs, Emotions, and the Heart

Teacher Xie emphasizes the importance of direct experience—guiding participants to return to their hearts and minds rather than simply accumulating knowledge. His teachings breathe fresh life into methods you may already be familiar with, offering new perspectives and deeper insights into the true foundation of practice.  That will compliment and deepen any practice you already do.
As Teacher Xie reminds us, the foundation is the highest practice. Don't miss this opportunity to explore, connect, and grow with a community dedicated to meaningful self-discovery..

What To Expect

What mind are you practicing with?

Teacher Xie, with decades of insight, guides you beyond techniques to the foundation of practice—your true center. Instead of getting lost in what to practice, he teaches how to practice, shifting from effort to effortless being.

Through the art of “guarding”—a state of gentle awareness—you’ll learn to connect with the qi field, the boundless energy of existence. No more striving. No more searching. Just alignment with your natural essence.

His teachings and workshops will enhance, deepen, and complement your existing practice—whether you're a beginner or an experienced practitioner.

The path is simple. The truth is already within you.

Join Teacher Xie and rediscover the peace, vitality, and wholeness that have always been yours.

Beyond Form: Unlocking The True Essence Of Practice

Mind and Heart—The Deep Connection
The mind seeks reassurance through physical sensations—breath, heartbeat, movement—yet the heart’s essence exists beyond the mind. True practice balances both, bringing harmony between thought and feeling.

True Practice:  More Than Just Movement

Real transformation goes beyond physical exercise. It’s about correcting the mind, enhancing life quality, and deepening awareness. Without this, movement remains just movement—not true awakening.

Mindfulness & Life Quality

Practicing awareness and managing the mind elevates daily life. Through Teacher Xie’s teachings, you’ll shift from simply doing to truly being, creating lasting transformation.

Healing Through The Five Organs

In Traditional Chinese Medicine, each organ holds emotions and energetic qualities. Teacher Xie’s approach helps release and transform emotional blockages stored within the organs, promoting inner balance and vitality.

True understanding comes from feeling, sensing, and experiencing—not just theory. Through guided practice, you’ll explore your own transformation, moving beyond concepts into direct realization.

Each journey is unique, yet we learn and grow together. A single realization from another practitioner can unlock profound insight within yourself, fostering collective wisdom and deep connection.

The lungs protect the heart—and when open, allow for deeper breathing, emotional release, and greater self-compassion. Grounding practices expand the lungs, creating space for healing and renewal.

Teacher Xie’s Qigong & Mindfulness Meditation practice is simple yet deeply transformative, incorporating:
Mudras –  Internal Alignment
Gentle Movements – Opening energy channels
Sound Healing – Vibrational harmony
Meditation – Cultivating deep awareness
Deep Grounding – The earth knows how to heal the body and mind

 

 

 

About

Authentic, straightforward, with insightful wit and a piercing wisdom that comes straight from the heart—these are just a few ways to describe him.
Xie goes straight to the heart. His methods are rooted in direct understanding, wisdom, and compassion—a bold and fiercely authentic way of being. He follows a path of direct insight and guides others to do the same.
His journey into the world of Qigong began out of a deep personal need. When his mother was stricken with Ménière's disease and conventional medicine offered no solutions, Xie Chuan turned to Qigong as a last hope. Committed to the practice, he took his mother to a park daily, and within 25 days, the simple methods they used completely cured her illness. This experience was transformative for Xie Chuan, altering the course of his life.
In his late teens, he was accepted to the intensive teacher training course at Dr. Pang Ming's Huaxia Qigong research centre, known internationally as "the medicine-less hospital."
In later years, he worked with the Daohearts teacher team in the Wudang mountains and was the vice-chancellor of the Xi'an Scientific Research Centre.
