Veterans for Chow Qigong

The Chow Qigong Veterans Project aims to provide Chow Medical Qigong programs for veterans and their friends/family to treat PTSD symptoms and ailments resulting from war. Part of Chow Qigong is about creating and sustaining a positive mental attitude and a more grounded sense of well being. For veterans, this allows them to find healing and resist self-destructive habits.

We have recently launched a veterans program in Columbia, Missouri with the sponsorship of the VA Hospital and the MU Veterans Center to much success: over 100 people attended! Learn more about the growing movement and see if there is a Chow Medical Qigong program for veterans in your area (or how to start one!).

ABOUT
Eleven years of conflict have made a lasting devastating mark, especially for those in the military community for who make it home. Of late, our veterans have been returning to their homes with their inner demons, battling with PTSD and mental distress, and with seemingly insufficient response or resources to help them. Shockingly, in the years since 9/11, about 3,000 military members have already lost their lives to suicide. And the number still climbs. This is almost as many military members killed in action due to IEDs in war.

This is why Dr. Effie Chow and East West Academy of Healing Arts have partnered with organizations, veterans and individuals such as yourself to provide a program for veterans and families with Chow Medical Qigong. We believe that through Chow Qigong, a system that creates and sustains a positive mental attitudes and a more grounded sense of well being, veterans can find healing and resist self-destructive habits. Our goal is to provide free support to veterans through our Chow Qigong programs, while putting them on a journey to better themselves and the world around them. We specialize in and have remarkable, fast results with situations where other options, including medicine, have failed, such as the sufferings of veterans. Veterans will learn to heal both themselves and others at the same time, creating a viable career for themselves in healing. Veterans can sign up for our existing classes on a possible free scholarship. We are developing a serious cadre of veteran healers to heal the wounds of the world, beginning with themselves, in order to offset the horrors of war. We utilize the tremendous strengths veterans have developed/gained in their service to our country. We want to give them the good life they deserve for their bravery in defending our freedom.This is a serious invitation to anyone interested in being part of the program or in helping. Please contact us eastwestqi@aol.com.In loving Qi with hugs and laughter with serious learning and service.

On January 18th, we launched the first of our Chow Qigong training programs for veterans in Columbia, Missouri. This hugely successful event, sponsored by veterans organizations such as the Truman VA Hospital and the MU Veterans Center, took place in the Harry S Truman VA Hospital and attracted over 100 attendees! We had many great successes in treating symptoms of PTSD and helping the veterans in the area become catalysts for healing!

We are now mobilizing and creating two new programs for veterans in Columbia: A Basic Chow Qigong weekend class April 12 to 14 and a Level 1 Chow Medical Qigong training program from April to August. We are also organizing a program in San Francisco, and, with many other cities interested, we are open to requests to have a Chow Qigong veterans program in your area!
