Ep 27: Esprit De Corps: Qigong for Veterans with Clayton Crosley
Show Notes

Clayton Crosley is a US Army Veteran, President of the National Qigong Association (NQA), our friend and mentor.  

 Clayton  was introduced to Qigong through his martial arts practice over 35 years ago. For the last 8 years Clayton has been volunteering at the Veteran's Health Administration and he has completed over 2,000 hours of service to the community. During the Covid outbreak, he moved to an online platform to provide care and this model has been adopted by many other VA Medical Centers. Clayton is currently a VA Community Care Network provider working in concert with the Doctors at the VA providing Complementary Integrative Health Care. Clayton works with the staff at the VA and also educates them in the healing principles of Qigong. He advises other instructors that are also providing care. His passion to have the largest healthcare system in the world embrace Qigong and the therapeutic benefits it gives has given him the purpose, motivation and drive.

 Clayton also serves in the capacity as a Senior Instructor for Long White Cloud Qigong (founded by John Munro) and performs clinical treatments at the Oakridge Wellness Center in Savannah GA. 

 Qigong is not just a practice of gentle, fluid movements but life changing.  Listen as Clayton talks about his role in introducing  to the Veterans and the many ways this practice has healed this community. 

 If you are a veteran and interested in participating in Qigong the first step is to go to your doctor.  If you would like more information on this, please email Clayton directly at claytonbcrosley@yahoo.com and he would be more than happy to answer your questions.  You can participate in Clayton's classes on Mondays and Thursdays 9 am (EST).  Email Clayton for the zoom link.

Welcome to my podcast! I am a Yoga, Qigong, Reiki Master Teacher, Energy Alchemist and mom of identical twins! Like many of you Spiritual Warriors, I have faced challenges (breast cancer, toxic relationships, depression) that have influenced me to become more aware of the power of self-care, self-compassion and a positive mindset. I understand how vulnerable, alone and lost one can be when navigating these challenges. That is why I’m passionate about sharing this information with you. I want you to feel supported and have the tools and techniques available so you are better prepared to navigate what life places on your path.
