We are the joint principals of the College of Integrated Chinese Medicine, Reading, Berkshire, UK. The college is one of the largest in the UK and students are awarded a BSc. honours degree when they graduate as acupuncturists.
All of our students are taught the Moving Tiger energy exercise system (aka Dragon & Tiger qigong) as part of the course. We think this is a most beneficial practice for acupuncturists because it enables practitioners to transmit qi between themselves and others, it strengthens their overall qi and benefits their health, and it helps to clear any stagnant qi.
It also enables practitioners to:
- Open up the eight extra channels giving access to deep levels of qi
- Increase their sensitivity and bring qi to their hands
- Drop qi downwards, thus grounding their energy
- Improve their needling by creating stronger intention
- Become more balanced within themselves
Bill is truly one of the best qigong teachers we know. He has had over 25 years experience as a practitioner and 15 as a full-time teacher, and lives and breathes his art. He has made qigong enjoyable and simple to learn without losing the depth of the practice. He also has the rare gift of being able to tune in to his students’ needs when teaching. This enables them to become confident and proficient and make their qigong practice their own. For us it is even worth travelling the Atlantic Ocean to be taught by him!
