In this workshop, experience the power of meditation with specially composed 5 Element Music for Qigong. The music and meditation techniques will help you maintain a seated mindfulness practice all year, tailored to address the emotional challenges of the seasons. No prior meditation experience is needed. Come experience the tangible flow of Qi through group meditation and 5 Element Qigong music!

  • Esogetic Colorpuncturetm
    INTRODUCING Esogetic ColorpunctureTM A POWERFUL SYSTEM OF ACU-LIGHT THERAPY FOR THE BODY AND MIND 2 DAY WORKSHOP - 14 CEU credits WITH KAY VOGEL, CCP, SEP JUNE 30 - JULY 1, 2012 • HOUSTON, TX WHAT IS ESOGETIC COLORPUNCTURE? Esogetic Colorpuncture is an advanced healing technology, in which gentle, non-invasive vibrations of colored light are ap- plied to the body via acu-points on the skin. It was developed by a well-known German naturopath named Peter Mandel. This system combines ancient esoteric or spiritual healing principles with the energetic wisdom and concepts of Chinese Medicine, as well as modern light biophysics. Esogetic Colorpuncture particu- larly emphasizes treatment of the psycho-spir- itual roots of pain and illness. These treatments gently unlock and release emotional trauma and blocked information in the unconscious that contribute to ill health. This 2-day workshop offers an in-depth introduction to the theories of Esogetic Colorpuncture. You will also learn several light treatments that you can begin experimenting with in your practice or using for self healing. There will be opportunities for hands-on practice and personal experience of these light therapies. PLEASE NOTE: This introduction is the first step for those interested in taking the Esogetic Colorpuncture Basic Practitioner Certification Course starting in Houston, TX in September, 2012. ABOUT THE INSTRUCTOR: Kay Vogel is Houstonʼs most experienced Esogetic Colorpuncture practitioner and has an international diploma in Esogetic Medicine. Kay combines Esogetic Colorpuncture acu-light therapy with SE Trauma Release Therapy, Cran- iosacral Therapy and Behavioral Iridology in her busy Houston holistic healing private practice.

  • Brochure for Disc of the Elements
    PETER MANDEL DISC OF THE ELEMENTS This brochure was prepared with the greatest possible diligence to provide accurate information. Many of our therapeutic protocols and their effects are exclusively based on the empirical knowledge of naturopathic medicine. Medical diagnosis and treatment progression, in particular the methods of treatment and their effects, are extremely individual and variable. Hence the success of a treatment cannot be foreseen or guaranteed. Thus we are taking the precaution to point out that we are using the conditional tense in the pre- sentation of our content to underline that point. The word “can” therefore hints at a mere possibility, in the sense of an assumption or conjecture, yet its existence is uncertain and can be paraphrased by the words “perhaps” or “potentially”. On that score we advise you to not take these terms as a promise of cure, as far as a possible treatment success or the appropriateness of a ther- apy are concerned. Always keep in mind: Certain diseases and complaints are less or not at all suited for self-treatment. We explicitly want to emphasize that before any self- treatment with our products, especially at home, a consultation with a physi- cian or naturopath is advisable. The author and publisher of the brochure are in no way liable for damages or consequences that result from the application of this brochure.

Kristensen1* 1 Euro Faculty, Riga, Vilnius, Tartu * Gustav N. Kristensen, Euro Faculty, Riga, Vilnius, Tartu Received: July 28, 2019 Accepted: August 18, 2019 Online Published: August 22, 2019 doi:10.22158/se.v4n3p165 URL: http://dx.doi.org/10.22158/se.v4n3p165 Abstract China is the home of acupuncture, but the origin of this treatment method is unclear. The discovery of Ötzi is a milestone in the discussion of acupuncture and has led to a new interpretation of cause and effect. An interpretation, according to which Europe is the pioneer ahead of China. The literature distinguishes between “a form of acupuncture” and “acupuncture”. This distinction is superfluous in a historical context. Keywords acupuncture, stone-age, ertebølle culture, zinken, Mao Tse-Tung 1. Introduction Between Austria and Italy lies the region of the Dolomites. This is where Ötzi, the Iceman, was discovery in 1991. Ötzi was a 45-year-old man, who died in approximately 3300 BC. Ötzi had been killed by an arrow. Among his possessions were a bow, a copper axe, a knife, a quiver, and a net. An unusual aspect of the find was the tattoos on Ötzi’s wrist and in other places of his body. The tattoos had been produced by making fine incisions in the skin, after which charcoal was rubbed in. The incisions were mainly located in places on the body that can be especially susceptible to injuries and pain—a form of acupuncture or pain treatment.

  • Black Crystal Activator
    esogetics Peter Mandel > The Black Crystal Activator The Esogetic Crystal Activators Three crystal activators have been developed up to the present day. All three have a special affinity to the information contained in the flowing energy, which stimulates vibration in our cells, organs and systems and maintains them. This hypothesis is the result of treating many healthy and sick people. The evaluation and observation of reactions connected to the treatments lead us to the conclusion that the sectors on the human skin behave like closed doors or gates (pattern matrix). They have to be unlocked in order to access the inner space of the house (body - soul). Not an easy endeavor, because we first had to comprehend, which functions those manifold “pattern doors” have. Today we know that the human skin resembles a hologram and that it stores everything that is, was and will be in a matrix with some kind of structure. The outer boundary of the living human being, the skin, connects the inner individual with the outer collective living space. The patterns seem to have the function to evaluate, and if necessary interrupt, the information coming from inside or outside. This cannot be without consequences for the individual. When the communication between the inside and the outside has been interrupted, so that the information cannot flow freely anymore, then there is stagnation. That produces the initial pressure that a person senses, because stagnation leads to stress, which does not only disturb the internal collective of the vibrating cells, but also destroys them over time. The first tangible tension is usually felt in the abdomen, especially in the area of the solarplexus.
