Golden Lotus Therapies

Mark Broscheit

For the past thirty years, I have been a practicing Massage Therapist/Energy Practitioner.  I specialize in therapeutic Deep Tissue Neuro-muscular massage and Chi Nei Tsang (CNT abdominal massage), but am also certified in Fa Chi, Shiatsu, Reiki, Reflexology and TMJ massage.  Recently, I discovered Biofield Tuning and became certified in this amazing ‘sound healing’ modality. Biofield Tuning, developed by Eileen McKusick, is a unique form of sound therapy used to identify, correct and restore the ‘charged’ energy associated with trauma experienced through a lifetime. Specialized tuning forks are used to locate areas of resistance and tonal distortion. The coherent input from the forks facilitates in neutralizing the noise and releasing the associated tension/energy.  Energy that was previously adding “charge” to a particular memory becomes liberated from that pattern and is restored back to the central channel and overall flow.  The energy returned to flow can decrease pain, deepen relaxation and improve energy, resiliency, and health. Biofield Tuning sessions can be effectively conducted via phone/zoom. To learn more about this or book a session, please contact me as shown below.

I am one of the few CNT practitioners in the Vancouver area, certified by the Universal Healing Tao Foundation in Thailand.  (CNT is an ancient Taoist abdominal practice, releasing stagnant energy and emotions, to restore optimal organ function and flow by using gentle massage, Qi, and specialized techniques). If you are interested in more information about this or Qigong, please contact me as shown below.

I learned about ‘energy work and Reiki’ soon after finishing my initial massage training.  As I learned about ‘Ki’ and experienced this ‘life force energy’, I also began to study Qigong.   ‘Ki’ and ‘Qi’ are the same life force energy.  Today, Qigong encompasses the style of energy work that I teach regularly and personally use to maintain health and vitality.

I owe much of my current success to the training and inspiration provided by my first Qigong teacher, Grandmaster Li Jun Feng.  I was introduced to Qigong when Master Li toured North America in 1997, teaching Sheng Zhen Gong. After only one weekend of training, I discovered the extraordinary good feeling that accompanied doing these movements. With better health and flexibility, my sense of rhythm and dancing improved!  Soon, these movements also transformed my experience and success with meditation!  By late 1998, I became a teacher of Sheng Zhen Wuji Yuan Gong and have consistently taught Qigong since then. 

I am also grateful for the opportunity to study with Qigong Grandmaster Mantak Chia, in Thailand.  Master Chia has brought Chi Nei Tsang and many ancient Taoist Qigong practices to the West.  These Taoist practices are timeless in their application and many provide an excellent complement to more contemporary Qigong practices.  Some are also included on this website.

I am also proud to have studied Qigong and remote healing with Master Teresa Yeung here in Canada. She is the founder of ‘Pureland Qigong’ and teaches a form of remote healing called ‘Fa Chi’.

Through many years of meditation, Qigong practice, and teaching, I have been gifted with the movements and practices that comprise Golden Lotus Qigong.  While there may be other ancient practices with a similar name, the Golden Lotus practices on this website are contemporary and especially suited to the energy and evolutionary needs of our current time.  This has continued my own evolution as a teacher and practitioner.  As I have shared these sets of movements with my students, I have been blessed to witness the transformation that occurs.  

I particularly enjoy helping my students attain the ‘Qigong state’ during their practice. I look forward to sharing this timeless and universal healing practice. I offer private classes as well as group classes.

Golden Lotus Qigong

Golden Lotus Qigong is a blend of traditional and contemporary movements that create a deeper experience of healing, balance and awareness.  

What makes Golden Lotus Qigong unique?

  • These sets of movements are inspired, for this unique period in human evolution, to assist in personal empowerment and transformation.  While these derive from an ancient tradition that includes many, many forms of Qigong; Golden Lotus Qigong is uniquely healing, balancing, and inspired.
  • These movements can be learned and performed well by most practitioners with a relatively short amount of guidance or instruction.  Many other Qigong movements are complex and require lengthy, detailed instruction to perform competently.  Having said this, regular and consistent practice of any Qigong will multiply the benefits.
  • The groups of movements that make up Golden Lotus Qigong practices, such as Qi Moves, are inspired to create the maximum benefit to the practitioner, within a relatively short period of time.  Many other Qigong practices require months or years of discipline and dedicated practice to acquire the benefits. 
  • Golden Lotus Qigong practices include visualization, movement, mudras (hand positions), and some mantras to improve the practitioners relationship to the Qi.  ‘Perfection’ is not a prerequisite to obtaining benefit through these practices. 

Guidelines for Learning

  • Each movement in a ‘Golden Lotus Qigong practice’ builds on the previous movements to create a unique experience of the Qi for each practitioner.  It is generally best to perform all of the movements in a practice rather than single-out specific movements.  Where there is a Part 2, it is best to perform Part 1 just before starting Part 2.   
  • Wear comfortable clothing and footwear.
  • Minimize distractions while recognizing that a perfect setting for practice is not always possible. Try to keep the mind calm and focused on the movements or nature.
  • Qigong movements are often a balance of relaxation and effort; one part exerting effort while another part relaxes, and vice versa. In these moments, the relaxation phase is as important as the effort.
