One of our Qigong masters could not come to receive the Qigong Award of the Year because his wife was in the hospital riddled with internal and external cancerous tumors and was predicted to die in a few days..In presenting his award remotely, I asked all the masters and audience to meditate together for about 10 minutes for her healing. Three days later, the Master reported that after our mass meditation, all the tumors gradually reduced the following day and suddenly disappeared by the third day and was discharged! She lived for a number of years following. The urgency of this critical situation is impassioning me to transform the Congress beginning September 2, Friday Grand Opening evening into an individual and collective healing session continuing through the week with all these powerful masters! Everyone is welcome FREE to healing Friday and all other seminars (no food). You can bring photographs and articles of your loved ones to be blessed. You are invited to bring flowers and/or donations of gratitude. This event will be live streamed by Master Lama Tantrapa so that people all over the world can tune in and send healing Qi to Meg or participate for your own or others’ healing. Thank you for dropping your worries and stress for 3 days and be joyful with us which may be a life-changing experience for you as it has been for thousands of others! Learn how to self-heal your outstanding problems with Qi or to become super healthy! You can turn around and help heal others, and expand your career or create a new one in the healing field which is now noted as the largest and most sustaining industry! One of our major thrust is working with the Veterans with success for PTSD, physical or emotional pain, preventing suicides and other problems. The other two thrusts are with cancer, its ever increasing threats, and Hepatitis B a serious problem in the Asian communities. We welcome you to our Congress for some serious learning with lots of fun! Our prescription is to have at least 8 hugs and 3 belly-aching laughs a day! However, even if you get 100 in one day, you have to start with number 1 the next day! You can start right now! Much Blessings….In Loving Qi with hugs and laughter, (please enjoy at least 8 hugs and 3 belly-aching laughs a day) Dame Dr. Effie Chow Congress Chair 1 1 7 T H W O R L D C O N G R E S S O N Q I G O N G · T A I C H I · T R A D I T I O N A L C H I N E S E M E D I C I N E COMMENDATION LETTERS Office of the Mayor Edwin M. Lee City & County of San Francisco GREETINGS FROM THE MAYOR On behalf of the City and County of San Francisco, it is with great pleasure that I welcome you to the 17th World Congress on Qigong/TCM, being held in San Francisco on September 2nd -5th 2016. Qigong and traditional Chinese medicine are used for self-healing. For the last 17 years, the East West Academy of Healing Arts and Effie Chow, Ph.D., R.N. have convened the World Congress on Qigong/TCM and the American Qigong Association Conference. The Congress is designed for all people who are interested in their own health and in helping others with their healing; seminars and workshops at the conference can also help health care providers improve their existing practice, or present new personal and business opportunities. Congratulations to all those that have made the 17th World Congress on Qigong/TCM and American Qigong Association Conference a success! With warmest regards, Edwin M. Lee Mayor 1 DR. CARLTON B.

Evident is the increased medical failures; cancer and heart conditions on the rise; climate change; air, water and food pollution; economic downturn; and social stressors in our everyday lives.
