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.

ABOUT SOUL JOURNEY QIGONG 1 - THE INITIATION OF THE HEART
In this try-out-session, Maria will tell you a little about Soul Journey Qigong 1 first and then we will practice together. This qigong method consists of five series of simple, soft, beautiful, slow and powerful movements with a specific concentration for each movement. The movements and the concentration help you connect on a very deep level with the earth, the water, the mountains, the wind, the trees and the universe. You can feel the oneness with the whole of creation. The program takes around 40 minutes.
Soul Journey Qigong is a unique form of Qigong, a beautiful and powerful blend of the wisdom of the East, ancient shamanic wisdom (mainly from the Q'ero shamans in the Andes, descendants of the Incas) and Traditional Chinese Medicine.
In this qigong method you center yourself, connect with all the lay lines and water lines on earth and stand strong in your own magnetic field. You fill your body with oxygen and the specific nutrition you need. You connect with the original life energy from the source of life and spread it through the spinal liquid to every cell in your body. By cross-connecting and balancing the two sides of the brain, you create harmony within and open up for your intuition and creativity.
On a physical level you stimulate the circulation of blood and lymph in your body, you soften and strengthen muscles, joints and ligaments and you make the life energy, "Qi", flow freely in the 12 energy meridians that are connected to the main inner organs in your body."
The whole program takes around 40 minutes to practice but you can also choose to practice just one or a few series of movements.
When you take a course in Soul Journey Qigong 1, the course material includes a video recording of the method (made in the Blue Mountain Hall in Oldedalen) in which Maria shows the whole program accompanied by the deeply healing tones from Bjørn's playing on gongs and crystal instruments. She also gives spoken instructions to the movements. This is to help you practice the method at home.
During the course, Maria will also introduce you to energy medicine, how we can come in balance by working on a deep energetic level with ourselves.
Each session ends with a deeply relaxing Soundbath to the tones from Maria's voice toning and playing on crystal singing bowls, crystal pyramids and gongs.
Sometimes Bjørn will be joining us and play on the Gongs and Crystal instruments during the Qigong practice, which deepenes and strengthens the effect of the qigong. And at the end of those sessions, Maria and Bjørn will give a deeply relaxing Guided Gong Meditation.
27 FEBRUARY-2 MARCH 2025
Shamanic Workshop - "Living Fully as YOU"
The Medicine Wheel - The Circle of Light
at Nyhyttans Kurort, Nora, Sweden
"Living Fully As YOU" is part 5 of the Medicine Wheel - The Circle of Light. In this workshop we focus on finding balance and harmony between the different parts of you: the creative, intuitive, soft and caring part and the part of you that is structured, analytic, decisive and firm, who takes out the direction and follows it. We find ways to let both sides nurture each other so that you can create the life that you wish to live. A life in which you are the CREATOR of your own life!
During these days we will give you the third of the three big energy transmissions of the Q'ero Indians - The Initiation of the Navel - through a guided Gong and Crystal Sound Meditation and through Soul Journey Qi Gong 3 to the tones of gongs and crystal instruments.
We will journey in the Upper World and clear away the imprints we have made into the future. You will become familiar with the helpers we have there and learn more about how to source from the future.
We will deepen our connection with the archetypes - the snake, the jaguar, the colibri, the eagle/condor and the guardians of the under world (the past, the subconscious) , the middle world (the present, the conscious) and the upper world (the future, the superconscious).
You will learn and practice a method to heal yourself and others with the energy frequency of Orion.
And more...
Our days together contain many guided Gong and Crystal Sound Meditations and Qi Gong sessions, talking, sharings, energy work exercises, initiations (energy transmissions), energy work outdoors in, 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.
