Actualize Your Intentions With the 3 Pillars of Qigong

Is your movement practice as multifaceted as you are?

Your mind, body, and spirit require different things to remain balanced, joyful, and able to function at full capacity.

The three pillars of Qigong — medical, martial, and spiritual — create a holistic approach to health that infuses the mind, body, and spirit with vitality, strength, and presence, says Qigong expert Matthew Cohen, the founder of Sacred Energy Arts.

These pillars support your health and personal evolution by activating a trinity of body intelligence, mental agility, and centeredness that can guide you to sustained wellbeing and self-authority.

This insightful online event with Matthew explores how the three pillars of Qigong can awaken your physical, mental, and spiritual power — and deepen your access to it.

Through Matthew’s deep and artful synthesis of Qigong, breathwork, poetry, embodiment practices, and meditation — all of which contribute to a grounding and uplifting experience, according to his previous students...

... you’ll learn how to enhance your ability to regulate your energy, live compassionately — and face life with greater resilience, ease, and clarity.

Matthew is known for his integrative, calm, and reassuring teaching style that adapts to all levels of learning. If you’re looking for a movement practice that can meet you where you are on your journey, you’ll definitely want to tune in to this event!

In this hour-long free online event, you’ll:

Discover the 3 pillars of Qigong — medical, spiritual, and martial — and how they bring balance, strength, and equilibrium to your health and life
Be guided through “5 Expressions of Silkworm” — a practice that shows 5 different ways of using the same movement for different results
Explore the sacred trinity of the 3 pillars and how they intersect through movement and in various areas of your life
Learn how the Five Elements of Qigong — wood, fire, earth, metal, and water — can help you adjust and regulate your energy, balance emotions, and develop functional strength
Explore how Matthew’s approach to Qigong practice can enhance your focus and ability to be more present and efficient by harnessing the power of intention, attention, and awareness

Priming your physical and energetic anatomy for strength and peace through practices that engage all that you are simultaneously, allows you to cultivate what Matthew calls intentional health...

... an intentional mindset for each moment that can help you befriend and transform the challenges, conflicts, and uncertainties of modern living.

You’ll experience this firsthand as Matthew guides you through the “5 Expressions of Silkworm” hand practice that reveals how the same movement can be used in five different ways based on your intention.

Matthew will also share how the Five Elements of Qigong are harnessed in Qigong practice to balance emotions and increase physical, mental, and emotional strength.

In joining us, you’ll also be among the first to hear of Matthew’s new 7-week live video course that will delve deeper into the three pillars of Qigong through the exploration of warrior, healer, and visionary archetypes — and a rich fusion of Qigong, breathwork, martial arts, and meditation.

There Is an Immense Well of Kindness in Matthew

Mathew Is a Brilliant Practitioner Who Pours Himself Into His Teaching

“It was wonderful to attend this course!”

It was wonderful to attend this course! I have learned many things about energy and how it can be accessed to control or bring about a state of wellbeing in various adverse contexts. This energy exists, even if it is invisible and is felt in the form of cold or warm air currents, tingling or fullness in the palms. It’s nice to be able to experience this energy.

“The shift in my energy and emotions after practicing these ancient techniques was profound and unexpected.”

The shift in my energy and emotions after practicing these ancient techniques was profound and unexpected. Some I was particularly drawn to, such as the microcosmic orbit breathing coupled with the visualization; I was immediately able to “drop in” to a calm and mindful state. I now have resources to draw on whenever I need; even in the space of one breath if needed! Absolutely transformative and highly recommended.

“Matthew's teaching deepened and strengthened my practice on so many levels.”

Matthew's teaching deepened and strengthened my practice on so many levels. The rare addition of Qigong has added a profound stillness to my life and is an inspiring, moving meditation. Most teachers I've known articulate their knowledge in a steady and cerebral way. Matthew takes it a graceful step further by connecting that knowledge through the emotional, physical, and spiritual, and allowing it to settle without force.
