​

The "7 Lotus" Chi Kung system is a seven-level teaching designed by Dr. Carlos de Leon. It is a system for the management and healing of our vital energy. The 7 Lotus chi kung uses postures, breathing, movement, massage and meditation, in combination with additional methods, to create an easy and effective way to develop clarity, energy, awareness and good health.

There are 7 levels (or lotuses) in this system. Each lotus is uniquely designed to introduce effective ways to activate, unblock and balance energy. The lotuses help the flow of energy in, out and around the body in order to achieve and maintain personal harmony. In this way we begin to connect the microcosm with the macrocosm, starting a natural flow of enjoyment, bliss, harmony, love, compassion and union with the Tao.
