Integration:
A Dramatic New Residential Course Combining NLP, Chi Kung and Spirituality
Run by Richard Bolstad with assisting co-trainer Julia Kurusheva
Living life is riding a river running back into the ocean of love. You can touch this ocean. Take some time during this life, which is so precious and so extraordinarily beautiful, and face this fundamental reality with all the passion, all the energy you can. Finally be and do what you came to this planet to be and do! The universe is gracious, and together we will come upon something beyond description. This is a training combining the ancient wisdom of Chinese chi kung, shamanism and meditation with the modern science of Neuro Linguistic Programming. Chi Kung (Qigong) is the basis of Tai Chi, Kung Fu and acupuncture. Research at the Beijing College of Traditional Chinese medicine shows that these breathing, movement and meditation techniques prolong life, promote stress free healthy functioning, and assist healing.
The Integration experience includes 5 Core Elements:
- Universal Tao chi kung training (The inner smile, the six healing sounds, opening the microcosmic orbit and utilising universal, cosmic, earth and sexual energy). Powerfully increase your health and energy level and extend your life. Create emotional harmony and increase spiritual awareness. Richard is a recognised instructor with the Universal Tao, and Julia is a certified practitioner of the Universal Tao's Cosmic Healing method. The Universal Tao is the world's most widely recognised Chi Kung training organisation, set up by Taoist Master Mantak Chia and based in north Thailand
- Zhineng Qigong / Chi Lel (TM) chi kung training (Level One: Lift Chi Up plus Level Two: Body and Mind method). After 4224 research studies at 90 universities, Chi Lel has verified its ability to heal illnesses which do not respond to other treatments. Richard Bolstad is a certified instructor of Chi Lel having trained in China with Master Yoshan Jin and in the USA with Luke Chan.
- The Ascending States Process, The Unanswerable Question Process, and other new NLP processes modelled from the work of teachers such as Jiddu Krishnamurti, Siddhartha Gautama Buddha and Ramana Maharshi. Richard is a certified NLP Trainer and Julia is a certified NLP Instructor.
- Shamanic Journeying. Julia Kurusheva has trained with indigenous shamans from America and the Pacific and is certified in the healing methods of Huna (Hawaiian Shamanism) with Serge Kahili King of Aloha International.
- Daily meditation, as well as quiet time to reflect on your experience, and the opportunity to share in a spiritual community with like-minded participants. Your every need is taken care of, freeing you up to be.
"Julia Kurusheva and Richard Bolstad weave magic together to present an awesome package. A spiritual odyssey." - Sue Tympkin, NLP Master Practitioner & therapist
"Qi kung exercises and NLP processes that took me to the state of "being". The loving atmosphere; the integrity and honesty of the trainers... This is an amazing training course. I feel as if I've been very gently woken up from 39 years of slumber. If you are seeking enlightenment do this!" - Chris Lampard, Business Trainer
"Richard taught with great knowledge and grace. Julia delivered sessions with goddess-like passion and beauty. Six days of awakening, with fun and laughter. The most valuable time out for yourself possible." - Sue Arnold-Olivercrona, Business Coach and Trainer
"As a result of breast cancer treatment at 45 years I am fully into menopause and severe frequent hot flushes. Unable to take Hormone Replacement Therapy or any phto-e\oestrogens for controlling these I was feeling stressed by this. My sleep on the second night after two days of this workshop was the first since my operation that I have not been woken by hot flushes. Usually my sleep is disturbed 4-10 times each night. I was amazed and excited. Thank you." - D. New Zealand
"Extra-ordinary sensations. Obviously very powerful and very healing. I could feel the sensation most of the day, and could pump it up and draw from the energy centre." - Heather Haswell, career counsellor, Wellington.
"Expansion of possibilities of what the body can do. Excellent... I didn't get the 'convincers' I was after until day three when I began to get some 'wicked' sensations." - Richard Kerr, Wellington, New Zealand
