In this intensive, 3 Day workshop, students access and practice a powerful, direct energy healing method known as Fa Kung. This is a "no-touch" method of healing directly with Qi. We cover all aspects of the training, including Qigong for the Healers and for the ongoing self-care of our "patients." Sigung Richard Clear has taught this program twice a year for nearly 30 years. This course is appropriate for complete novices and advanced Qigong practitioners alike. In the course of 3 Days, students learn how to sense, interpret, and balance the Qi of others to produce direct healing effects.

Welcome to a new approach to self empowerment… Beyond Qigong What would it be like if you could learn to apply the energy principles of Qigong to transform your Emotions, your Minds, and your Fields to embrace life to its fullest? It would be like EMF Training. Developed by Francesco Garri Garripoli after decades of personal training and study, this unique program offers you insights into the three key areas of our lives that create blocks and prevent us from living in peace and in our true power. Combining his teaching in “Emotion Alchemy”, “Three Minds”, and “The Third Field”, this three-day workshop provides real-world tools that you can use in real time. In this way, you will have techniques that weave together Qigong and visualization which you can put to use immediately to activate the Qi Effect and begin to see how you can shift from your conditioned responses into being guided by Heart resonance for real and lasting transformation, taking your from just surviving to truly thriving. “Life always presents us with challenges, and we are asked to respond… How we respond reflects where we are mentally, emotionally, and energetically… My task is to help people learn how best to understand their mind, emotions, and energy in empowering and transformative ways.” Francesco Garri Garripoli This live, in-person, three-day workshop will take place in Palm Coast, Florida 18 – 20 January 2025 Phase One engages techniques related to the principles of unlocking our Three Minds. We explore the true nature of Mind, and shift our paradigm of a “single” Mind and begin to understand the differences between the two “conditioned” Minds and the Heart-centered “unconditioned” Mind. This is foundational, and with this understanding, we can begin to work with our emotions is new ways that are freeing and amazingly transformative. Phase Two goes into the depths of Emotion Alchemy, a technique that helps us identify excessive Yang Emotions of the conditioned minds and transform them and emotional scar tissue into empowered Yin Transformation at the Intuitive Heart Resonance. Phase Three takes you into the realm of energy fields, specifically, the 3rd Field. This powerful key shifts how we relate to others in our lives. Though this principle is quite challenging for many to grasp, when we understand it, how we interact with others changes… and changes for the better. You will learn effective techniques that will help you identify epigenetic influences and shift out of disempowering relationships with yourself and others and start to be proactive in shifting the energy of every connection you have with everyone – past, present, and future – into interactions that flow with ease and positivity, protecting and empowering you in the process. As we learn more and more about the power of intention and techniques to harness, ground, and align the energies around and within our bodies with practices such as Qigong, Yoga, and Reiki, it is clear that certain aspects of our lives are still not fully addressed. This three-day workshop begins where these practices leave off and takes you on a deep dive into the realms of emotion, mind, and energy fields to provide you with unique and empowering tools to take you to the next level of your growth and strength in Heart resonance.

Join me on Zoom to celebrate the winter solstice, one of the most powerful times for inner transformation and healing. In this session we practice using the mudra associated with Fu 復 hexagram 24. Fu is the first of the twelve tidal hexagrams and represents the energetic pattern of rebirth and the Rat animal sign. The symbol of the hexagram is made with one Yang line at the bottom and five Yin lines on top, which represents Yang Qi, or new life energy, returning back in a natural cycle. It is the symbol for rebirth and rejuvenation.

This is a live, in-person, one-day workshop in Palm Coast, FL 17 January 2025 taught by NQA Certified Senior Qigong Teacher Francesco Garri Garripoli This workshop emerged out of a challenge that the team at Insight Timer presented to me to introduce Qigong to people who practice Yoga or were interested in learning about this practice as a complement to their existing training as a healer or practitioner. After over 1,000 people took the online Course and it maintained a 5-star rating, I was honored and happy that served an unmet need. Here at CommunityAwake, we’ve added various video components to support the original audio lessons, so the online, self-guided offering has gone deeper with visual demonstrations and exercises presented by Francesco Garripoli. Click here to learn about that Course For those seeking an in-person course with like-Hearted practitioners…this live workshop in Palm Coast is for you! Francesco has been practicing both Qigong and Yoga for over 30 years… and teaching around the world for over 25, so he knows how Qigong has helped to transform his body, mind, and spirit – and complements his Yoga practice. In this Course we do our best to share the basics of what it means to become sensitive to our core energy through breath, gentle movement, and awareness… and then guide you through beautiful concepts that will inspire you to remember the truth of who you are through this empowering practice. Together we’ll explore the ways Qigong and Yoga principles overlap and, through its gentle movements and intention-setting, see where Qigong offers an added dimension focused on healing and transformation. The amazing elder teachers Francesco studied with in China and India inspired him to realize that getting older only meant getting better …on so many levels. This Course will take you through breathing, grounding and centering techniques, and explore ancient concepts such as Energy Meridians, Dan Tians (which are similar in some ways to Chakras), Jing, Qi, and Shen, and the Five Elements model…
