FIVE IMMORTALS QI GONG INTENSIVE 2019

Playa del Carmen, Mexico ~ Feb 23rd and March 2nd

See PICTURES & STUDENTS' COMMENTS below

Qi Gong is a practice with more than 5000 years of history, consisting on meditation movements to cultivate Qi (vital force), inner peace and harmony. It's a practice that integrates mind, body and Spirit. In this case it is a pure ancient Daoist lineage Qi Gong from the Five Immortals Temple, Sacred Mountains of Wudang, China.

Qi Gong empowers you, defies your mind, your breathing, your coordination and your will, in a peaceful and beautiful way. It is a dynamic and flexible practice, for all ages, physical conditions and ideologies. No material or experience is required, just an open mind and open heart.

The course is designed for you to be able to practice on your own, understanding the practice with enough depth from the Daoist traditional and spiritual perspectives, and what are its benefits.

Among the benefits of Qi Gong are the following:

  • Calms the mind, reduces stress and anxiety
  • Trains the mind, improves focus, cognition and intuition abilities
  • Prevents and heals physical, mental and emotional diseases and disorders
  • Catalyzes and accelerates healing processes

What students say...

A flower for you hair Andrea, The Watercourse way... I dreamt with overflooded stairs... I started drying them, however, the water would come back to the same level, over and over again to the same stair I had already dried. I woke up and thought about Andrea. A young teacher that loves Qi Gong and from whom I learnt that it is possible to heal the body when the Spirit is set free. She shared her experience in the temple at the heights of teh Wudang Mountains in China, she demonstrated her reverence towards Shifu, her teacher; love to an environment and to faith. She taught us the movements of the fundamental series of QiGong taught at the Five Immortals Temple. It was an experience that leaves an everlasting flower with the practice, for all my being, and for that I thank you, teacher Andrea- María.

The course was very well organized, the time dedicated to each practice, and the methodology fitted nicely with my way of learning. The practice that Andrea taught is of great depth, they were 5 exercices and a closure, it's like opening a world of inner knowledge within you. She shared her experience in the Five Immortals Temple and talked about her teacher, Li Shifu. Now a piece of her experience remains in me. Thank you teacher Andrea, during each one of my practices I dedicate a few minutes to thank you- Txell.

I had the chance to attend two courses with Teacher Andrea, an Intensive Qi Gong course and an Acupressure and massage workshop... Both were extraordinary, they have helped me significantly in my daily life... All this knowledge is marvellous and very applicable!- Genaro.

I had Andrea as my teacher here in Mexico; she introduced me into the practices of Qi Gong. In the beginning I didn't really know what was expecting me; when I finished the two-day training, I was amazed by what is possible with your mind, body and spirit. I felt a lot of positive energy after practicing, and there were remarkable changes in my body. It started to heal itself from a stomach problem; and when practicing Taoist Meditation, I felt how my whole forehead was getting warm, my head was pulsating, and I felt energies circulating right behind my ears. I have to say that I've a hearing problem with a loss of 30% on both ears due to a sudden hearing loss after stress, and during practicing it felt as if it wanted to unblock with all possible forces. I'm very curious where this will lead me; and I'm very grateful that Andrea was such a good teacher in practical and theoretical matters. To everyone who wants to heal him/herself or who wants to be more in balance, I highly recommend to do the training- Claudia.

Andrea is very practical and gives her classes and courses in a very simple manner, which makes her a very transparent channel to share the lineage of her school. It was an honor to share with her, receive these teachings and know her story. I have practiced Qi Gong for two years and the healing energy of this Qi Gong is impressive, highly recommended for anyone looking for integral/all-encompassing/holistic healing, in physical, emotional and mental terms! Don't miss the opportunity to learn this incredible and mileanaire tool with Andrea! Just try it! - Jasmín.

Today, and every day, I wake up and practice the exercises that I leared during the Five Immortals Qi Gong course. These exercises have awaken the inspiration to mantain a constant practice, I feel full of energy and with more clarity, especially with something on which has been of major help for me, and it is that I realize that I'm much more aware of the emotional changes I experience, I feel that most of the times now I can stop, step back before reacting, and if I have already reacted, I observe it and look for the best way to solve it from love and  understanding, to myself and those around me. From my personal experience, I think a healthy body is a reflection of a healthy mind, and the practice of Qi Gong, mostly these exercises I learnt with Andrea, have helped me to train my mind in a very simple but profound way- Agni. 

Andrea is a great teacher and messenger of light...She's very knowledgeable and skilled in the field of Qi Gong, Tai Chi and accupressure...Yet it is up to each one of us to apply her teachings to heal ourselves and enhance our lives. Her story and trip to the mountains and Temple of the Five Immortals is fascinating...Best wishes and light :) - Zarí.

I took part in the two-day intensive Qi Gong course with Andrea. She is a very experienced teacher who practices with total dedication. She has given me a valuable insight into this topic and the practice. Although the days were long, there was a good mix of theory and practice and the atmosphere was always peaceful and relaxed. I can highly recommend Camino del Agua Watercourse Way - Stefania.

How the course looked like...

From China and Mexico to the world, with love.
