This meditation workshop is led by Lulu Lopez (lulopez@aol.com) and Cristina Salgado.  Ms. Lopez has been working with meditation and energy cultivation (as practiced in qigong exercises) since 1986.  She studied for eight years with Dr. Jingyu Gu, founder of the Tai Chi and Chi Kung Meditation Center in Austin,Texas. There she received instruction in qigong and internal energy training. Ms. Lopez also served as an assistant teacher.  Cristina Salgado has studied various methods of meditation, including eight years with the Brahma Kumari Raja Yoga University in Mount Abu, India.  She is also a Licensed Massage Therapist and a Feldenkrais Practitioner.

The practice of meditation involves appropriate posture, breathing and mind adjustment.  Meditation and qigong have been practiced together for centuries in Buddhist and Taoist monasteries.  In this workshop participants will learn introductory meditation techniques and qigong exercises. Relaxation is a primary goal of both the meditation and qigong exercises as practiced in this workshop.
