Eugenio Giusti
Zhineng Qigong Certified.
I have been practicing Qigong since 2010, and Zhineng Qigong since 2018. I have been studying with Debra and Richard Clegg since 2010, and with Master Youngton Liu since 2018. At present I am taking weekly classes with Erdan Bajrović a student of teacher Jianshe Liu. Before Qigong I practiced yoga for 6 years at the Integral Yoga Institute in New York City. Since 2004 I have been studying at the American Institute for Mental Imagery (New York City), where under the guidance of Dr. Jerry Epstein and Dr. Racheal Epstein I have been taking courses on mental imagery, dream reading, and reading of spiritual Cristian and Jewish texts. For more than thirty years I have been attending meetings of the 12-step group Al Anon. That is when my spiritual journey begun.
Since my early days as young teenager I was always driven by a sense of high achievement and perfectionism. It was not by chance that in my professional career I ended up teaching at a highly selective liberal art college. For years my driven motto
was: “more, more, more and next, next, next”. Then suddenly one day I realized that I had always been living in a future mode, never paused and be in the present. It felt like I never lived. I had to stop being always in my head and begin to live in my heart. To be kind to myself, enjoy, and have fun in all my endeavors.
That is why the emphasis that Zhineng Qigong places on the union of heart and mind profoundly resonate with my intention to live a life that is healthy and joyful, and share that joy with all my fellow human beings, and the entire world at large. Haola.
