"Life Nourishing Internal Alchemy"
Qigong and International Scientific Research
Rome, 2-3 October 2010
To download the flier click hereThe Conference:
This Conference, the first of its kind in Italy, aims to highlight, rediscover and promote the importance of the person as protagonist of their own life: the body, breath, mind and spirit are all a single system working towards restabilizing and improving the energetic balance of the individual, for physical health and interior well-being.
The title of the Conference, "Life Nourishing Internal Alchemy", draws attention to the importance of an interior work such as Qigong. The real alchemic nourishment, in fact, is the one which takes place inside a Qigong practitioner thanks to a meditation which unites the harmonization of the body, breath and mind for a conscious work on their energy circulation.
The aim of the Conference will be to introduce and explain the world of Qigong through both scientific research and the experience gained by direct practice.
A Round Table interdisciplinary Expert Panel will be held on the specific subjects of the conference, with the participation of doctors, helath workers, scientists and researchers, as well as experts of the field.
There will be direct testimonials given by practitioners who have benefitted the effects of Qigong.
The Conference will also host the AGM of OTTO, the Italian National Organization of Tuina and Qigong operators.

Brief curriculum of Dr. Effie Chow
Qigong Grandmaster Effie Chow, PhD, RN, LAc grew up in small town in British Columbia where she witnessed family and friends routinely practice TCM using food, herbs, acupuncture, cupping, moxa, Qigong, Tai Qi with some dramatic and life-saving results. Ethnic prejudice in the 1940s discouraged these practices and Dr. Chow went into nursing in the 1950s; quickly becoming aware of the revolving door concept: people going in and out of the hospital, never getting better. After the premature death of her father from a side reaction to medication, Dr. Chow commenced a 10 year search and study of TCM and Qigong in Hong Kong, Taiwan, Canada and the US, witnessing many "miracles".
Taking the best of both systems, she founded the "East West Academy of Healing Arts" in 1974. Today, Dr. Chow teaches TCM and Qigong internationally, and maintains a clinical practice that specializes in critical cases including stroke, cancer, Parkinsons "where all else has failed" using her original Chow Integrated Healing System/Chow Medical Qigong.
Dr. Chow has pushed forward as a tireless Qigong/TCM advocate from the radical front line to the policy-making boards for national and international health care systems. Her "claim to fame" was getting acupuncturists out of jail in the 1970's while simultaneously helping to write the California Acupuncture legislation. From "springing jailbirds" in the 1970s to being appointed in 2000 by President Clinton to the White House Commission on Complementary and Alternative Medicine Policy (WHCCAMP), she is a widely recognized spokesperson for Qigong and TCM, health promotion and wholistic health. In 2007, Dr. Chow was named as one of the Pioneers and Leaders of Oriental Medicine in the USA. She is founder and chair of the World Congress on Qigong and Traditional Medicine now in its 12th year.
