Use Qigong  and have a good health,&#8221; Mrs Okofu Ababio said.<\/p>\n<p>Ms Jocelyn  Brock, a Qigong teacher, who is the key resource person for the upcoming  seminar, described the practice of Qigong as a motion into wellness and  vitality of an individual.<\/p>\n<p>She said the dream of coming to  Ghana to teach Qigong begun five years and noted that, years of many  scientific research had gone into the practice in USA and other places  with compelling health benefit results.<\/p>\n<p>Shedding more lights  on Qigong, Dr Samuel Sasu, Spiritual Leader of the Centre for Spiritual  Awareness in Ghana, said Qigong is not a religion but a natural healing  form of therapy, which is practice all over the world due to its  scientific verification.<\/p>\n<p>He said he was amazed to see a  Compact Disc in America containing health information by the Mampong  Center for Scientific Research into Plant Medicine when many Ghanaians  might not have such information in Ghana.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;In Ghana we are  quick to make superstitious statements about our own natural and  traditional products, which should not be the case,&#8221; Dr Sasu said and  hoped that the Qigong seminar would be a wake-up call for many in Ghana.<\/p>\n<p>Mr Issah Musah Adams, President of Support Life International,  said there were a lot of natural ways communities in Ghana could be  happier and holier always.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;With natural therapy, people can  have and live such good life,&#8221; he said and noted that Support Life  International would set up a comprehensive health therapy centre in  Ghana where international health experts would train and heal people.<\/span><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Ghana is to hold the first ever in Africa full-scale International Qigong Healing Seminar in Accra, which provides comprehensive training and healing in natural therapy for hundreds of participants across the country.
