HOW TO GET TO LØKEN GÅRD: If you come from Oslo you take the train to Lillestrøm and then from Lillestrøm Bus Station you take Bus 480 or 490. You get off at the bus stop "Løken" in Fetsund (Lillestrøm, Akershus). OBS! Not to be confused with "Løken" in Hølland. The bus stop is right next to our house.
ABOUT THE COURSE:
In this weekly course you will learn Soul Journey Qi Gong 1- The Initiation of the Heart, a qigong method that 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 and find the way back to your own light that is part of the original light of love.
Soul Journey Qigong 1 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 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. The course 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.
Sometimes Bjørn will be joining us and play on the Gongs and Crystal instruments during the Qigong practice, which deepens and strengthens the effect of the qigong. At the end of those sessions, Bjørn and Maria will give a deeply cleansing and relaxing Guided Gong Meditation.
When Bjørn is not joining us, Maria will give a deeply relaxing Soundbath where she combines voice toning with playing on crystal singing bowls, crystal pyramids and gongs.

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.

19-20 SEPTEMBER
NEW COURSE!!!
Weekend Course in Maria's new Qigong method - HEYO Qigong - Heaven-Earth-You-One
A step towards becoming "Homo Luminous"
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 harmonising 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. This method focuses on opening up your hands, your heart, your third eye and your navel for the life energy – Qi - of the universe and the earth. To feel how that energy runs through you and how you can work with the Qi to become balanced and start living a life fully connected with yourself, the earth and the universe. HEYO Qigong helps you open up, explore and develop your intuitive senses and makes you feel at home in your physical body here on earth.
In HEYO Qigong we focus on bringing the Qi to the heart, the third eye and the navel 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.
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 weekend, 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).
