Stanley OBlige is a Sifu Qi-gong practitioner with over 25 years of experience in energy cultivation and healing arts. I began my training in 1998 in Japan while studying Aikido and went on to study Qigong for 20 years under Grand Master Roosevelt Gainey founder of the Taoist System of Living Arts, earning a 9th Level Degree.
I have taught Qigong internationally, including in Tokyo, Java, Bali, Indonesia, Barbados, and has served communities throughout New York City. My work focuses on health, longevity, and therapeutic applications of Qigong, such as Mind Body Cognitive Therapy supporting individuals recovering from serious health conditions.
I currently facilitate Qigong sessions for veterans, approved by the Dept. of Defense (DOD), U.S. Dept. of Veterans Affairs( USVA), and the Veterans Service Organization (VSO) at the James J. Peters VA Medical Center, the Doris (Dorie) Miller Veterans Community Center for Mental Health, American Legion Post 213, and supports homeless veterans and older adults through community outreach programs. My work integrates mind and body, somatic regulation with the ancient art of Qi-Gong to support physical recovery, emotional resilience, and overall well-being. Long Breath, Long Life

Mind-Body Cognitive Therapy Psychotherapy / Qi-Gong
This experiential training introduces Mind- Body Cognitive Therapy (MBCT) - an integrative approach that combines cognitive therapy with structured somatic interventions. While cognitive therapy addresses thought patterns and belief systems, somatic practices help regulate the autonomic nervous system, creating the physiological stability necessary for deeper emotional processing, insight , and lasting behavioral change.
This workshop incorporates Qi-Gong as an evidence-informed adjunct to psychotherapy, recognized within Department of Defense (DOD) resilience initiatives, National Institutes of Health (NIH) research frameworks, and Veterans Affairs Medical Centers (VAMCS) within the U.S. Department of Veteran Affairs (VA). When integrated into clinical treatment, this approach supports emotional regulation, stress reduction, PTSD recovery support, and suicide-prevention efforts by strengthening nervous-system stability and coping capacity.
This workshop is designed to actively engage participants through guided movement, breathwork, and mindful awareness practices. Each session emphasizes experiential learning, allowing individuals to explore the connection between body, breath, and energy (Qi). Techniques are adaptable for diverse populations, including veterans, older adults, community groups, and clinicians supporting stress reduction, emotional regulation, and overall well-being.
