The Dragon's Way Weight-Loss and Wellness Program
Why all the buzz about the Dragon's Way?
The Dragon's Way program aims to bring the body back into balance and harmony by focusing on Qi-your healing life force or vital energy and connecting to your body's innate ability to heal itself. Through the Dragon's Way program you learn how to reconnect with your body and "hear" the powerful messages intended only for you. These messages contain the true secret to living a happy and healthy life. Once you have achieved this level, you will be able to address the underlying root cause of your body's imbalances. These imbalances are the very cause of weight gain, depression, stress and a host of other health problems.

What are the main components and principles of the program?
Wu Ming Qigong: Wu Ming Qigong is an ancient energy practice that works directly on the body's meridian system. These ancient qigong movements can increase Qi, open energy blocks, and prevent qi stagnation. When practiced consistently, Wu Ming Qigong will allow energy to flow more freely through the meridians or energy channels. TCM uses qigong as a way to open the door to healing and allow the body's organ system to regain balance and work in harmony. Qigong is the most powerful tool to connecting the mind, body and spirit.
Stress Busters: It is essential to learn how life-style can directly impact your well-being. The Dragon's Way program incorporates tools for learning how to "let go" of stress, tension and unhealthy emotions. In excess, any emotion will cause a problem in the body. This six week class offers self-help techniques that can be used by anyone, anywhere.
Foods: Eating for healing goes much deeper than the scientific aspect of foods like calories, nutritional properties, vitamins, and the like. Foods are chosen for their healing essence or the message they carry for the body. TCM values food as a source of healing and building qi. Every food has its own signature essence and at least one healing purpose.
Power of your thoughts: It is said that you create your reality by your very own thoughts. Change the way you think and you will change the way you feel. Your thoughts are a powerful healing tool.
Message from the body: Your body knows what to eat, when to sleep, and how to function but do you know how to listen? On the deepest level, the body has a wisdom far beyond anything we generally accept. It is continually speaking to you and always willing to send you signs. Once you recognize these signals, you will open lines of communication within your own body. Allow your body to communicate with you on the highest level!
