Chinese Movement and Exercise Workshops March 31
HANCOCK – Han Jingsheng, an expert in traditional Chinese medicine, will share his philosophy and medicinal expertise at the Finlandia University Finnish American Heritage Center Monday, March 31, at 2:30 p.m. and 7 p.m.
Master Han will lead two sessions of his workshop, “Traditional Chinese Forms of Movement and Exercise” in which a four-part movement and exercise regimen will be demonstrated. The regimen includes opening passageways, nurturing vital organs and restoring energy, distributing energy, and performing therapeutic self-massage.
Everyone is welcome. There is no charge to attend.
Master Han, a Fulbright Scholar-in-residence at Northern Michigan University this semester, is a doctor of Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM), master of martial arts, and therapeutic massage healer. Both of his parents are TCM doctors and kung fu masters. He began studying and training with them when he was nine years old and in his thirties received formal transmission of traditional Chinese medicine (recognition and acknowledgement by his teachers that he was ready to be a healer).
Combining his training in TCM and his college education in nursing, Master Han founded Yizhi Chan Tui Na (One Finger Zen Mindfulness Clinic) in Zhuhai, China. He is a nationally recognized expert on mindfulness healing, acupressure treatments, and qigong interventions.
Master Han cultivates mindful living and incorporates Zen Buddhist teachings in training his students and treating his patients. One Finger Zen – the idea of the interconnectedness of human relationships – is the guiding principal of his practice. He believes that good health results in the harmony of the body and its environment, and that the sustainability of the human race depends on mutual understanding and assistance.
