Summary:
In this introductory presentation you will learn how 'including energy' into your holistic lens can support the therapeutic process. Over the past 8 years, Debbie has incorporated an energetic-lens into her clinical work with clients. Weaving in meditation and concepts of light into sessions, clients have expressed increased empowerment when having anxious thought patterns, greater capacity to feel grounded, and clearer boundaries with healthy vs. unhealthy behavior choices. Debbie uses these practices regularly as a clinician, She finds they have been instrumental for maintaining self-care during and after client interactions, and transformational in navigating challenging sessions. Learn basic concepts of Qigong ("cultivating life-force energy"), and practice techniques you can use yourself!

Learning Objectives:

• Gain a brief introduction to 5 Element Qigong concepts
