Internationally renowned Qi Gong Grandmaster Sikung Lowe, a 53-year-old Qi Gong practitioner, medical intuitive and healer, has been invited to hold a presentation on Qi Gong Feb. 15 at the University of Colorado at Boulder's Eaton Humanities Building from noon to 1:30 p.m.
The introductory meeting is free and open to the public.
Qi Gong (pronounced "chee gong") is a 5,800-year-old Chinese healing discipline that predates Tai Chi, and from which all martial arts have evolved.
Promotional materials for Qi Gong claim the practice is "commanding scientific studies and a closer look by medical authorities" and that it has "proven its efficacy for diseases or ailments such as cancer, arthritis, gastrointestinal problems, heart disease, depression, anxiety, migraine headaches, and liver, lung, kidney and weight problems."
Lowe, who has achieved master levels in both Tae Kwon Do and Chung Do Kwan, has more than 25 years of martial arts experience. Grandmaster Lowe has been practicing Qi Gong for more than 40 years and is highly regarded for his healing abilities.
Former students of Grandmaster Lowe have called his presentations "enlightening, interesting, fun, relaxing and enjoyable."Ìý
Lowe was the only non-U.S. citizen invited to speak on the first White House Commission for Complementary and Alternative Medical Policy under former President Clinton in August 2000. He has been a presenter, panelist and member of the World Qi Gong Congress and the World Qi Gong Federation.
Lowe is of Chinese and European decent and was trained in Qi Gong by his grandfather and father, both of whom were Qi Gong Grandmasters. He has spent most of his life in England.
Lowe is the founder and director of the National Qi Gong College, U.K., has written a book and has appeared on numerous international television programs. He also has produced two instructional Qi Gong videotapes.
Grandmaster Lowe also will conduct presentations and consultations throughout Boulder from Feb. 15 to Feb. 17. For more information, call (303) 492-2254.
