Syner-Qi is our monthly event where we will explore a Qigong practice together. Each month will feature an NQA Professional member who will guide participants through a Qigong practice and/or meditations.
Whether you're a novice or seasoned practitioner, Syner-Qi offers something to suit every level. This event is perfect for newcomers eager to sample different techniques and for seasoned practitioners seeking fresh perspectives. Moreover, participants can integrate elements from each session into their personal practice.
If you can't make it to this live event, a recording will be added to the Syner-Qi Archive within the NQA membership hub.
This event will be led by a Professional member of the NQA. Each month will feature a different professional. This will be a great opportunity to practice a different Qigong style and see what other members are teaching all around the country.
After our practice we will spend about 10 minutes for questions and answers to make sure our participants have a good understanding of the practice.
Join us the Sunday after Qi Talks at 3 PM EST.
Members: Free
Non-Members: $25

Syner-Qi with Chris Shelton
Host: Jennifer Eash
February 16, 2025
3:00 PM - 4:00 PM EST
During our time together, I will walk you through the basic guidelines and regulations of Qigong, which are physical posture, breath and mind intent. From there we will dive deeper into the Five Elements and the correlation between the elements, your internal organs and corresponding emotions.
Together we will practice Qigong cleansing exercises and healing sounds to harmonize the internal organ systems, where you’ll feel more relaxed.
However, relaxation is a byproduct compared to the medicinal component of the Qigong practice. During this session you’ll also gain deeper insight into how your organs function and what Qigong practices to do so that you can create more balance, harmony, and peace-of-mind.
The Benefits and What to Expect from the Practice:
According to Chinese medicine, the two leading causes of disease are negative emotions and diet. Diet and emotions influence the body differently but ultimately interact. Diet supplies the physical substance from which the body continually recreates itself. Emotions, too, are a kind of fuel for the body because they determine the quality of the subtle energies that control organ function.
Based on observations made by ancient Chinese doctors over centuries, we know that the internal organs each store different negative emotions. When these emotions are suppressed or expressed inappropriately, the proper functioning of the organs becomes disrupted, potentially causing fatal health problems.
Qi is life-force energy. Health is an expression of the smooth flow of life-giving Qi in the body. Disease manifests when the flow of Qi is blocked or stagnant, or when there is too much or too little. These physical and mental Qigong exercises can clear blockages, dissolve stagnation, reduce excess, and supplement deficiency.
Each organ system stores different kinds of energy and is damaged by excesses or deficiencies of these particular energies. In Morning Crane Curative Qigong®, we teach that the internal organs are interrelated, such that a dysfunction of one will eventually lead to dysfunction in another. Thus, by incorporating Qigong into your daily routine, you can work backward from the disease or chronic pain that is manifesting to the emotional toxins present in order to find the true root of a condition.
When your organs are in harmony, you feel good and are able to enjoy your life, family, and work. You will see and feel that your negative thoughts become less and less.
When your organs, including your skin, are functioning properly, not storing negative emotions or toxic digestive waste, you will radiate health—and beauty—at any age. To our Western minds, it seems incredible that these simple movements and meditations can have such profound effects.
No surgery? Supplements? Drugs? But it’s true.
You can experience this yourself.
Indeed, one of the values of Qigong is that you will eventually become your own doctor. Doing these practices will put you in touch with your body in subtle ways. You will develop a sensitivity to both the emotional and physical conditions present in your body. Eventually, you will be able to detect disease before it sets in. You will recognize the first signs of imbalance, and with the meditations and exercises that I’m presenting, you will have the tools to correct them.
Based on the successful experiences of countless generations of people who have used these exercises and passed them down to us, observe carefully; the body has its own wisdom as to how and when it heals.
You may be surprised by what changes, and it may not happen as you expect. Simply practice consistently. Over time, you will experience greater vitality, health, and mental well-being. You will learn how to interpret the signs and signals of the body in terms of these patterns, as well as how to correct and improve the flow of Qi.
By the completion of this Syner-Qi workshop, you will learn how to interpret the signs and signals of the body in terms of these patterns, as well as how to correct and improve the flow of Qi.
You will notice that your mind is quiet, and your body has an incredible feeling of calmness. And you will have the tools to process past emotional trauma as well as current-day emotional imbalances and stress.
The journey of a thousand miles begins with a single step, and I’m excited and grateful to have this opportunity to guide you on the path!
