About

Lama Somananda Tantrapa is the holder of the lineage of Qi Dao, also known as Tibetan Shamanic Qigong, which has been fostered in his clan for 27 generations since 1224 AD. His unique background is complex enough to include several near-death experiences, black belt in Aikido, and ordination as a Tibetan lama. He has over 30 years of experience in Qi Dao and other Energy Arts taught by his Grandfather who was the last Grand Master of this unique style of form-free Qigong.

Lama Tantrapa’s initiatives dedicated to peace work and spiritual freedom were highly recognized by such spiritual leaders as His Holiness the Dalai Lama and Venerable Junsei Terasawa. Due to persecution in his homeland, he received religious asylum in the United States in 1997.

Lama Tantrapa’s coaching has inspired many professional athletes, speakers, dancers, singers, writers and actors to open up to the infinite source of intuition that exists within everyone. He is the founder of Academy of Qi Dao – the first and only School of Qigong Coaching in the world. Since pioneering Qigong Coaching in 2000, his work empowered thousands of clients to live happier and healthier lives.

Lama Tantrapa authored best-selling books, DVDs, meditation CDs, and multimedia home study courses on the subjects of Tibetan Dream Yoga, Shamanism, energy healing, and spiritual awakening. Being an avid speaker and presenter, he appeared on many Radio and TV programs in the US and abroad. For a number of years, he served on the Board of Directors of the National Qigong Association and presented workshops at the National Qigong Conferences, as well as World Congresses on Qigong and other international events.

In 2009, he conceived and started producing The Secrets of Qigong Masters talk show as well as publishing Mastery Magazine, the international e-zine dedicated to mastery in Qigong, Coaching, and Life. You are welcome to enjoy his show at www.QigongMasters.com.
