Between heaven and earth
Searching for visions with Daoist Qigong and the Four Shields in the Medicine Wheel.

The positive effects of Qigong exercises can be used in many different contexts. Franz Redl has been leading seminars on rituals of transition and on the search for visions for over 20 years. He has selected exercises from Daoist Qigong to support the seminar participants in the intensive process of purification, letting go, clarification, being alone with nature and integration of new experiences. He is helped here by the fact that Daoist Qigong,
like the Native American tradition of the Medicine Wheel with which he also works, arose from a shamanistic world-view and emphasizes the connection with the cosmos. At the same time, the shared practice gives the seminar leaders the chance to clearly perceive the strengths and weaknesses of the participants.
