Tai Chi Qigong
Tai Chi Qigong is the ancients answer to the stress in our life today, which may well be the cause for 90% of modern-day disease.
There are over 5,000 forms of Qigong. Tai Chi (taiji) refers to the principle of Yin/Yang (universal balance, universal harmony). Qi (chi) refers to life force and Gong means work or effort.
Tai Chi Qigong is the foundational exercise for Chinese therapy, health maintenance and fitness. It is a practice in Mindfulness often performed in slow, even, and fluid movements, with a calm concentration of mind; while supported with a rhythm of natural breathing and a gentle smile.
Tai Chi Qigong is the synthesis of Meditation, Breathing and Movement. It will establish Physical Balance, Mental Equilibrium, Emotional Tranquility and Spiritual Radiance.

Michael Hamilton is the best instructor in the healing arts I have ever found. In 20 years my search has finally landed me here - the best ever. Close by and full of knowledge you will never be bored taking care to listen to your body and mind and spirit soak up his knowledge and healing power. A great experience, with a profound Master.
Thank you Master Michael.
Before, I didn't know how to let it go, how to surrender, and thanks to you and to the safe and caring space that you created for me, I could completely surrender this, if just for a few minutes, to the mystery of life. At the end of the series of treatments, I felt carried and renewed. I know that those moments of total surrender have thoroughly changed my life.

Michael’s experts and background go without a war for explanation to those of us who were involved in his classes and lectures. Michael Hamilton was a great conduit for Hippocrates to get its message to those of us who needed his particular type of help.
