Roger Jahnke – Medical Qigong
Description Of Medical Qigong
Discover the most profound medicine — your own life-force energy — and create a Medical Qigong practice that involves the body, breath, mind, and self-massage for ultimate health and wellbeing.
The most profoundly healing medicine is your own energy, produced within your own body — and it’s accessible through Medical Qigong.
Medical Qigong, or Bu Zheng , is a scientific method for working with your energy system — mind, body, emotions, and Soul — empowering you to be the orchestrator of your own health and wellbeing.
This ancient form of medicine is now being integrated into mainstream healthcare treatment plans, as more providers are recognizing its benefits and recommending non-pharmacological self-care.
The insights and methods of Medical Qigong can be used to help with many health challenges — from common colds and flus to stress, overwhelm, and exhaustion. It can even help ease the symptoms of more serious conditions, such as Parkinson’s disease, cancer, multiple sclerosis, heart disease, and diabetes — and complement any Western medical treatment.
Conventional medicine has its place in society to discover and treat ailments — and when we supplement with Qigong, we can activate and maximize our innate inner healing mechanisms and capacities.
During this course, Roger Jahnke, Doctor of Chinese Medicine and a Qigong and Tai Chi master teacher, will show you how to apply Medical Qigong practices to create radiant health and longevity as you mobilize your inner healing resources — your body’s own natural medicine.
