APRIL 2027
6 April
Starting date for a 10-week course in HEYO Qigong
- Heaven-Earth-You-One -
to the tones of Gongs and Crystal Instruments
HEYO Qigong was created intuitively by Maria over a period of time in connection with hers and Bjørn's Shamanic journey to The Andes in Peru in August 2025. It is a deeply harmonizing and empowering Qigong method that helps you return to your natural state of being – being one with heaven and earth, remembering your origin in the stars and your roots deep, deep down in the earth. HEYO Qigong helps you clear the blockings that are holding you back and to open up, explore and develop your intuitive senses on a very deep level. It can help you feel fully at home in your physical body here on earth and at the same time feel that you are connected to all the wisdom of the universe. You can start remembering who you really are and what gifts you have come here to share.
In HEYO Qigong we focus on bringing the Qi of the universe and earth to the heart, the third eye and the navel in order to open up these three main chakras and connect them with each other so that we can start living a life in love where we follow our intuition and start manifesting our dreams - our personal dreams and our dreams for the earth and the universe. We take another step on our path of becoming Homo Luminous.
Through slow movements with a specific concentration for each movement, we work with the flow of Qi within our whole body and our energetic body. We cleanse blockings that we have in our system, both in the physical body and in the energetic body, to make the Qi flow freely in the energy meridians, in the blood and in the lymphatic system. We practice to the healing tones of Gongs and Crystal instruments which deepens and strengthens the effect of the Qigong.
The hands are essential in HEYO Qigong. We work a lot with opening up our hands to feeling the energies of heaven and earth and to work with these energies in order to open up all our senses – our intuitive hearing, seeing, feeling, smelling, tasting, knowing. According to Traditional Chinese Medicine, our hands are connected to the heart, so when we open up the energy flow in our hands, we open up our connection between the heart and the hands. We open/deepen our ability to see and feel the energies within and around us through our hands.
The water element is also very important in HEYO Qigong. We consist of 70 % water, we lie in water in our mother’s womb and we come to the earth through the water element. In HEYO Qigong we begin and end with a water movement sequence and between each of the five parts of the method, we also connect to the water.
In all, the method takes around 40 minutes to practice but you can also choose to just do certain parts.
During this course, we go through each step of the method thoroughly and we practice to the deeply healing tones of Gongs and Crystal instruments that enhance the cleansing and balancing effect of the Qigong. The tones work on cellular level within your body and on a soul level in your energetic body.
We also talk a lot about Energy Medicine. How we can help ourselves to become whole through natural, ancient methods that have been passed on from generation to generation within Traditional Chinese Medicine and Shamanic Energy Medicine from the Q'eros in the Andes in Peru (descendants of the Inkas).

Warmly welcome to join us in our new, beautiful course room in the barn at Løken Gård or online, live, to share an evening of deep stillness and healing. An evening when you let go of energies that hold you back and let yourself be filled with the original light of love - Munay.

This will be followed by a guided Gong Meditation when you can let yourself journey with the deeply balancing tones and vibrations from gongs, crystal singing bowls and crystal pyramids.
No previous expericence with qigong or meditation is needed!
What is qigong? "Qi" means "life energy" and "gong" means "method". Qigong originates from China and can be described as a meditation in movement. For thousands of years it has been practiced by the Chinese to create balance between body, mind and soul and thereby stay in good health. There are numerous different kinds of qigong. Soul Journey Qi Gong is a unique form created by Maria Løken - a blend of old eastern philosophy, Traditional Chinese Medicine and ancient shamanic wisdom. It consists of series of soft, slow, beautiful, simple and powerful movements made with a specific concentration for each movement.
By practicing Soul Journey Qi Gong you stimulate the circulation of "qi", blood and lymph in your body. You fill every cell in your body with fresh oxygen and you stimulate all your inner organs.
On a soul level, practicing Soul Journey Qigong can help you open up your heart and feel the oneness with nature and the universe. Feel the oneness with every part of creation. You can find your own light, your unique vibration of the original source of love.
The effect of the qigong practice is deepened and strengthened by the healing tones from gongs and crystal instruments played by Bjørn.
The qigong session will be followed by a deeply healing Gong Meditation during which you can let go of heavy energies that do not serve you anymore and bring in the original light of love from heaven and earth. The tones and frequences enter on cellular level in your body, help you open up and release blockings and tensions.
LEADERS: Maria and Bjørn Løken. Maria is the creator of Soul Journey Qi Gong, a Certified Instructor of Medical Qigong according to the Biyun method, a sound healer and a shaman. Bjørn is a professional musician, a percussion teacher and Professor of Percussion at the Norwegian Academy of Music, a sound healer, a shaman and a certified Kundalini Yoga teacher.

29 APRIL-2 MAY
Shamanic Workshop "Opening Up the Heart"
Part 1 of The Inka Medicine Wheel - The Circle of Light
Løken Gård, Fetsund, Norway
"Opening Up the Heart" is the first part of our Inka Medicine Wheel, The Circle of Light, that consists of five workshops. Each workshop also works as a separate unit, so you are warmly welcome whenver you feel the calling!
In this workshop we step into the South and get to know the archetype of the south - Serpent - who teaches us to shed our past as easily and smoothly as the snake shifts its skin and helps us remember how to move softly here on earth, in our Garden of Eden.
One of the main focuses of this workshop is on opening up the heart for the original light of love. Among other things you will get one of the three big energy transmissions of the Q'ero Shamans - The Initiation of the Heart - through a Gong and Crystal Sound Meditation and through Soul Journey Qi Gong 1 to the tones of gongs and crystal instruments.
You will get to know the Wiracocha, your highest light. How to connect to it, how to use it as a filter, how to expand it and let it spread out to your surroundings and the whole world.
Another important focus will be on beginning to source from the future. You will reconnect with your origin in the stars through our transmissions of the energy frequencies of some of the stars in the Pleiades. This will make it easier for you to receive information and energetic nourishment from the future in stead of being tied to and held back by the past.
You will also learn a bit about the three different worlds, our inner worlds: the under world (the subconscious you), the middle world (the conscious you) and the upper world (the superconscious you).
Our days together contain many guided Gong and Crystal Sound Meditations, Qi Gong, talking, sharings, energy work exercises, initiations (energy transmissions), energy work outdoors in the beautiful nature around Løken Gård, fire ceremonies etc. We follow the energy processes in the group and what comes to us from the world and the universe so we can never say beforehand exactly what will come up in each workshop but we have a basic structure for each one.
We will give you tools to bring home for you to work with to continue your own magical journey to get to know every part of yourself, nature and the universe.
