My dear friend,

Welcome to the 2013 Spring Forest Qigong Level 4 Meditation

Retreat at Superior Shores Resort & Conference Center. I am delighted

to have you here! You bring a special energy to the retreat and truly

make it a unique and memorable experience.

This retreat is designed to help you advance your spiritual

growth and connection, increasing your healing energy and power.

You will learn how to open serious energy blockages, perform long

distance healing, enter into the emptiness, experience true joy in your

meditations, and bring that joy with you into your daily life.

This is a wonderful opportunity to meet other people from all over

the country and world. I encourage you to take a moment throughout

your stay and connect with someone, whether over Spring Forest

Qigong or other shared interests. You may make a lifelong friend!

Thank you so much for joining me at the 2013 Spring Forest

Qigong Level 4 Retreat. We have four full days planned for you!

With love and blessings,

Chunyi Lin

Chunyi Lin is a certified international Qigong Master with a Master’s degree

in Holistic Healing. His fluency in numerous Chinese dialects afforded him the

rare opportunity to study with many of the most respected Qigong Masters in his

native China.

He is the founder of Spring Forest Qigong, and coauthor of the #1 Amazon.com

bestseller, Born A Healer. He is also coauthor with Dr. Nisha Manek of the Mayo

Clinic of a chapter on Qigong in a medical school textbook, The Textbook of

Complementary and Alternative Medicine, Second Edition.

In addition, Master Lin has created a series of home learning materials to share

his healing and wellness techniques with everyone through videos, guided audio

meditations and reference manuals. He has taught his techniques to more than

250,000 people through classes or home-learning courses.

Master Lin is a member of the Transformational Leadership Council founded by

Jack Canfield. In 2010, he was named international Qigong Master of the Year by

the executive committee of the World Qigong Congress.

Also, in 2010, two independent research studies, one by doctors from the

University of Minnesota and one of the leading medical research centers in the

United States, found that Master Lin’s Spring Forest Qigong techniques are

helpful in relieving chronic pain.

Jacqueline Gran has been intensively practicing and studying Spring Forest

Qigong with Master Chunyi Lin since 1999.

She is now a certified Spring Forest Qigong Instructor, Master Healer and Qi-ssage Instructor.

Jacqueline came to Spring Forest Qigong because of her severe spinal injuries and chronic migraines. Through practicing Spring Forest Qigong she not only healed her challenges completely, but she also discovered and learned how to cultivate her energy to be a better, healthier, more focused person.

More importantly, she realized that Spring Forest Qigong opens a paradise of life for her. In this paradise, she has come to understand and experience it that the most powerful healing energy in the world is love! In love she was healed, and, now in love, she has become an outstanding healer and instructor and she has helped hundreds of people to heal.

She was chosen by Master Chunyi Lin to work in the Spring Forest Qigong Wellness Center and to be an Associate Instructor in Master Lin’s classes and workshops.

be a part of can produce powerful results that help families stay together, and

help people realize their dreams of health and spiritual wholeness, and also

elevate the vibration of our planet, count me in. I believe everyone needs Spring

Forest Qigong. I believe our planet needs Spring Forest Qigong.”
