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.
Together we will practice Soul Journey Qigong 1 - The Initiation of the Heart to the healing tones of gongs and crystal instruments. 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.

Shamanic Workshop:
The 10 Munay-Ki-Rites:
The Rites of the Energy of Love
In the Qechua language, «Munay» means universal love. «Ki» has the same meaning as the Chinese/Japanese word "qi", life energy. Together these words mean energy of love. Based on initiatory practices of the shamans of the Andes and the Amazon, the Munay-Ki are ten rites of initiation (energetic transmissions) to become a person of wisdom and power who lives free of fear, who understands the eternal nature of human beings and accepts stewardship for all creation. After you go through the ten rites of the Munay-Ki, you can begin to dream the world into being – the world that we want our children’s children to inherit.
The Munay-Ki rites heal the wounds of the past, the genetic and social inheritance we are born with. They transform and upgrade the luminous energy field and re-inform our DNA, enabling us to grow a new body that ages, heals and dies differently.
In our workshop we transfer these rites to you energetically in different ways - in the traditional way of the Q'ero and Amazon indians and in our own way through the deeply healing tones of Gongs and Crystal instruments in Meditations and Qi Gong exercises.
Originally there were nine Munay-Ki rites: The Healer's Rite, The Bands of Power, The Seer's Rite, The Harmony Rite, The Daykeeper's Rite, The Wisdomkeeper's Rite, The Earthkeeper's Rite, The Starkeeper's Rite and The Creator Rite. In 2014 a new rite was added that was given the number 13 - The Rite of the Womb.
Below the practical information you can read a very brief presentation of each rite.

The first four rites are the Foundation Rites:
Rite One: The Healer’s Rite,
Awakens the healer within you and also launches your personal healing journey.
Rite Two: The Bands of Power
Consists of energetic filters that enable you to walk fearlessly and with beauty in the world.
Rite Three: The Harmony Rite
Is a transmission of the 7 archetypes into your chakras.
Rite Four: The Seer’s Rite
Awakens the the seer within you, and the ability to see into the invisible world of energy and spirit.
Then come the three Lineage Rites:
Rite 5: The Daykeeper’s Rite
Connects you to a lineage of master healers from ancient times. It helps you begin to heal, step beyond fear and practice peace.
Rite 6: The Wisdomkeeper’s Rite
Connects you to a lineage of luminous beings from the past and the future and helps you to begin to heal, step outside of time and taste infinity.
Rite 7: The Earthkeeper’s Rite
Connects you to archangels that are guardians of our solar system, stewards of all life on Earth. Then you may dream your world into being.
After that follows the two Rites of the Time to Come:
Rite 8: The Starkeeper’s Rite
Helps your physical body to evolve into Homo Luminous. The ageing process is slowed down, your DNA is reinformed and you become more resistant to disease.
Rite 9: The Creator Rite
Awakens the Creator-light within and brings stewardship for all creation. Once you discover that Spirit not only works through you but AS YOU and all of creation is happening inside you, the stewardship becomes natural.
Finally comes:
Rite 13: The Rite of the Womb.
This rite wants us to remember: The womb is not a place to store fear and pain; the womb is to create and give birth to life.
