Episode 281 - Qigong with John Munro
In this episode, we explore the ancient practice of Qigong and how it can be used to support physical, emotional, mental and spiritual wellbeing. Our guest shares insights into how this millennia-old tradition helps cultivate energy, balance, and resilience in everyday life.
We also discuss how Qigong fits into a modern lifestyle and why its benefits go far beyond simple movement. This conversation offers a fresh look at how working with energy can enhance health, focus, and overall vitality.
JOHN MUNRO
John Munro is the founder and head instructor of Long White Cloud Qigong, an international qigong school with a network of over 400 qigong instructors around the world. He is the author of four books on qigong, has previously served as Vice President of the New Zealand Qigong and Traditional Chinese Medicine and as Chairman of Natural Health Practitioners of New Zealand, and is a current member of the World Academic Society of Medical Qigong. He is passionate about bringing the essence of ancient philosophies and practices to a modern audience and making them easily understood and applicable in our daily lives.
