Internal QiGong

​

Juniper has traveled the world studying indigenous spirituality and comparative religion. He has founded, designed and built Nature's Temple in Crestone - a center for healing, community and spiritual success. His book, "Voices of Nature", is a personal story of his experiences and observations of over 15 countries he's traveled. The book also offers recipes and energy yoga or internal Qigong. 

Juniper has studied at the Crestone Healing Arts Center, where he continued adding layers of awareness to his foundations. After over a decade of practice, he's arrived at some new names for what he was practicing. Energy yoga, or internal Qigong, can be viewed as a painting of your auric field. Energy engineering. These practices are meant to bring about cellular remembrance and identity of nature of self. 

Juniper is in devotion to supporting all relations, in guidance to the essence of nature, a representative of the voices of nature, a reflection of his environment.
