Qi Gong to Connect Your Heart & Kidneys for Optimal Health

with Salvador Cefalu, M.S., L.Ac.

According to Chinese Medicine, the essential Qi that's houses your life purpose is stored at birth in your Kidneys. The expression of your purpose comes through your Heart.

Strong communication between your Heart and Kidneys is therefore the basis for having a clear sense of purpose and the drive to live out that purpose, as well as the ability to give and receive both love and joy.

Physiologically, the Heart brings oxygenated blood to cells, while the Kidneys help eliminate waste products from the blood to prevent autointoxication.

In Chinese Medicine, your Kidneys also store your Jing, or Essence, which needs to be activated within your body through the Triple Heater system for your life purpose to naturally unfold.

In this Qi Gong class, Salvador shares practices that help open your Heart to balance its relationship with your Kidney system, as well as powerful health tips and a special breathing technique to boost your immune system. 

Through Heart-Kidney communication, you can also cultivate self-love so you can share more love and healing with others.

Here are some highlights of the practice:

  • Start: the important relationship between your Heart and Kidneys
