Eileen Meagher PhD:  
      “Spring Forest Qi Gong: A Healer in Every Family, A World Without Pain”

  
The historical roots of Qigong date back at least 4,000 years to ancient China.  Qi is the fundamental core of the entire manifest universe, the building block of all matter. The word Qigong (pronounced chee-gong) literally means the study of transforming or manipulating energy. The concept is that all Qi is intended to flow smoothly and continuously, to be in harmony and balance with the universe. The founder of Spring Forest Qi Gong, Chunyi Lin was awarded certification as an International Qigong Master after years of training with many of the most highly respected Qigong Masters in his native China.  As he continued his training, master Lin created a program for teaching Qigong that has simplified the approach, allowing the average person on the street to take his courses and learn healing. The system he created is called Spring Forest Qigong.  He resides in Minneapolis, MN where he has a Spring Forest Qigong healing Center.

BIO: Eileen Meagher PhD has studied all four levels of Spring Forest Qigong with Master Lin. She returns to Minneapolis, home of Master Lin, twice a year for continued study. She has also taken the intensive Guide Program which he offered for those who wished to teach levels I and II of Spring forest Qigong.  She has taught over 50 people in the Chattanooga area and offers courses on an ongoing basis.
