Roger Jahnke – Qi Medicine Advanced Training

Description of Qi Medicine Advanced Training

Benefit more fully from Qi Medicine through entrancing movements — and self-massage — which can transform pain, insomnia, stress, and disease into vitality, health, and JOY.

Explore spiritual practices that empower you to cultivate your most powerful medicine from within, enabling you to embody and express radiant wellbeing.

When you practice Qigong as Qi Medicine, you activate the most powerful healing capacity — your Inner Healer…

You feel happier, more spiritually connected, and your body responds by doing what it’s designed to do — heal and rebalance itself while dissolving blockages in your flow of life force, or Qi.

Your life-force energy can then circulate smoothly and radiate outward to positively affect all aspects of your life…

This harmonizes the internal flow of your autonomic nervous system, enabling your body to trigger, produce, and deliver the healing resources that are always present — and waiting to be catalyzed — within you.

And the Key to This Incredible Promise?

According to Dr. Roger Jahnke, OMD, an author, acupuncturist, and master of Qigong and Tai Chi, the key is sustained practice.

The powerful transformation of our Self — Body-Mind-Spirit — is by ourself, for ourself through focused and sustained practice. This happens over time through purposeful cultivation. It takes time to integrate — to try, to succeed, to try more, to fall short… to try again, to doubt, to refocus and renew. Settling into the consequences and benefits of cultivating a sincere, sustained, evolving practice — that is the best way. Actually, it’s the only way.
— Dr. Roger Jahnke, OMD

Practice catalyzes your natural capacity for self-healing — and liberates your natural capacity to create the elixir within by neutralizing inner factors that restrain and encumber your Inner Healer.

In this advanced course with Dr. Roger Jahnke, practice will be your focus — and you can leverage the power of practice with profoundly accessible methods that are effective, FREE, and simple to use every day for the rest of your life…

You’ll have the opportunity to focus on your practice within an enthusiastic and supportive Facebook community of Qi and Soul friends who share values, who help each other to refine and modify practice, and who explore the many ways that practice can be woven into our everyday lives.

Qi Medicine can also help you reduce inflammation… maximize focus, clarity, and productivity… minimize depression… and access greater vitality and longevity. It also addresses cardiovascular issues, immune conditions, and extra body weight… as well as the prevention of diabetes, dementia, and more.

What’s more, Qi Medicine can increase your capacity for enriched happiness, satisfaction, and contentment…

It can even radically increase the energy and capacity of your genes to replicate.

Reports from Harvard University show that mindful practice can rebuild the brain’s grey matter in as little as eight weeks, and that the healing benefits of Qigong and Tai Chi are second only to swimming.

Both of these findings are based on sustained practice.

An Advanced Approach to Healing That Benefits Your Entire Being

In Qi Medicine Advanced Training, you’ll learn gentle, entrancing movements that can make you feel like you’re flying. You’ll also dive deeper into self-massage, a powerful way to promote relaxation and self-healing.

AND you’ll cultivate the remarkable aspect of yourself that is irrevocably well — to generate a true understanding and experienced realization of ultimate wellbeing.

You’ll start to excel at using Qi Medicine as an alchemical practice, tapping the mystery of the essence of being.

Because ultimately, according to the great shamans and wizards of Qigong, the most refined elixir — the most powerful medicine — is distilled within your own spirit-mind-body.

Whether you seek to heal yourself, serve others, connect with nature, maximize productivity, nourish intuition and creativity, or create inner peace, Qi Medicine Advanced Training, with its roots in ancient healing traditions, offers extraordinary practices that can help you strengthen and develop your natural Inner Healer and expand your capacity for vitality and joy.

What You’ll Discover in this Qi Medicine Advanced Training course

In this Qi Medicine Advanced Training course, Dr. Roger Jahnke will guide you through the advanced spiritual skills and competencies you’ll need to successfully transform pain, insomnia, stress, and disease into vitality, health, and JOY.

Each class session features a 45-minute teaching followed by a 15-minute Qigong demonstration. Each session concludes with 30 minutes of Q&A with Dr. Roger Jahnke. Each session will build harmoniously upon the previous ones so you’ll develop a complete holistic understanding of the practices, tools, and principles you’ll need to develop spiritual practices that honor and empower you to cultivate your at most powerful medicine from within.

Module 1: The Way

In ancient societies, health was treasured and protected by everyone. The source of information and practice to sustain health comes from thousands of years of tradition.

In those thousands of years, The Way was innovated. The Way is not a way of treating disease, or even a way of preventing disease.

It is a way of being.

Qigong is one of the most prominent and eloquent aspects of the pursuit of The Way.

The additional features of The Way are typically called Yang Sheng, which is the compilation of all the aspects of how to live with inspiration, vitality, and productivity.

In this Qi Medicine Advanced Training course, our primary goal, besides practice, is to support you in believing in yourself and what you can learn from yourself and your life.

In this module, you’ll discover:

• How accepting your personal power is a gateway to The Way
• The promise of practice, and how practical = practice
• The why and how of practice
• Why (and HOW) to dispel the myth that you don’t know enough
• How Yang Sheng connects with Medical Qigong
• Techniques for resolving pain
• Anti-inflammatory nutrition

Module 2: The Master

You may have heard or even come to believe that you must find a Master.

But the only person who ever becomes a Master is the person who believes that they have access to Mastery.

It’s not about what you know. It’s about the experiences you have had that lead you to inform yourself and have the capacity to inform others.

In the end, Mastery is something you can cultivate within your own being.

In this module, you’ll locate the source of wisdom, healing, insight, and Mastery within you. You’ll explore:

• Who is the Master?
• How Qi is the essence, and practice is the key
• The myth that the Master is a person outside yourself
• How to believe that you are your Master
• Yang Sheng — Medical Qigong and Chinese Wellness
• How to resolve sleep challenges
• Rest as medicine

Module 3: What Opens the Way & What Obscures the Way

It is the nature of our society, especially through media, to create false assumptions about the Source of Knowledge and Healing and Peace.

Typically, many people believe that the most profound medicine could never be produced within their own being, when in fact, the only place that the deepest medicine could be produced is within ourselves.

In this module, we’ll investigate how we talk ourselves out of our power with ideas that obscure The Way. In addition, we’ll investigate specific actions and environments and ideas and relationships that provide a gateway to The Way. You’ll explore:

• What obscures The Way
• Practical options to open The Way
• Knowledge, conscious emotions, ideals, location, and relationships
• What obscures The Way
• lack of information and inspiration, conditioned emotions, location
• Yang Sheng — Medical Qigong and Chinese Wellness
• Resolving the effects of stress
• Hydration

Module 4: Integration Session

During our first Integration Session, you’ll develop personalized strategies to deepen and sustain your practice.

You’ll find that the power of our community of practice is less about learning new things and much more about noticing what happens to distract you from what you already know.

Once you notice your distractions, you’ll receive practices to redirect and sharpen your focus on inner peace, health maximization, stress mastery, and making best choices.

Module 5: The Power That Tai Chi Enhances

Tai Chi is cosmological phenomenon.

Any form of Tai Chi that references a practice — whether it’s a martial art, a healing practice or a method for stress mastery — is named after the cosmological Tai Chi, which is actually the moment that the universe was born.

In this module, you’ll explore traditional Tai Chi gestures as a kind of Qigong. The unique benefit of Tai Chi is that, in addition to regulating the autonomic nervous system, it is a powerful tool for maximizing brain plasticity. You’ll deepen into:

• How to make Tai Chi easy
• How to do Qigong and call it Tai Chi
• How to do Tai Chi as if it’s Qigong
• The potential of simultaneous action and rest
• Five amazing and easy Tai Chi gestures
• Yang Sheng — Medical Qigong and Chinese Wellness
• Preventing brain depreciation and dementia
• Meaningful physical and mental engagement (work and play)

 Module 6: The Welling Way

The Welling Way is a point of view about healing that’s based on the fact that in some way, you are irrevocably well.

Isn’t it interesting that we use the word “well” to express the state of good health… and that we also use “well” to describe a source, such as a spring of water? The inexhaustible well of the Universe is expressed within you, and this is your invitation to allow that source to be even more fully embodied in your life.

In this module, we’ll return to the Three Treasures and remember the natural presence of body functionality, open heart and mind, and boundless spirit. You’ll explore:

• How healing and maximizing well-being are not the same thing
• Where the unlimited well of resource for body, mind and spirit is
• What activates access to this well
• Yang Sheng — Medical Qigong and Chinese Wellness
• Strategies for resolving anxiety and depression
• Ways to manage relationships — and forgiveness

 Module 7: Integration Session

During our second Integration Session, you’ll continue developing personalized strategies to deepen and sustain your practice.

You’ll again find that the power of our community of practice is less about learning new things and much more about noticing what happens to distract you from what you already know.

When you notice your distractions, you’ll receive practices to redirect and sharpen your focus on inner peace, health maximization, stress mastery, and making best choices.

 Module 8: The Functional Way Welling the Body

In the Western world, we believe that we are the body. In indigenous and shamanic cultures, the belief is that the body dwells within an energetic matrix which is eternal.

In Qigong, you regulate your physical self and maximize function by activating the Qi within the channels, the organs, the brain, and all the physical aspects of the self in a purposeful way.

In this module, you’ll explore more deeply the Qi channels that carry universal energy into the physical system and support the function of all the physical aspects of our being. You’ll delve into:

• Qi Medicine at the physical level
• Particles, Pipes, Pathways, Pumps (Opening Portals)
• The Qi energy channels and their influence on organ, brain, and muscle function
• Yang Sheng — Medical Qigong and Chinese Wellness
• Strengthening exercises
• Herbal tonics

 Module 9: The Feeling Way Welling the Body

According to the ancients, the Heart Mind is the passageway for the transcendental aspects of being to infuse the physical self.

The heart and the mind can be unified. Thought and emotion can complement each other.

There are two kinds of feeling. Sensory feeling is physical, while the feelings of Heart Mind manifest as inspiration, sadness, love, frustration, etc.

One of the great foundations of Qigong is that the state of the Qi reflects the state of the Heart Mind. While the Heart Mind is located in the area of the physical heart, it is actually the compilation of all the emotions — positive and negative — that the Ancient Chinese said reside in all of the organs.

In this module, we’ll emphasize the importance of understanding that Qigong is not an exercise, but a three-treasures practice for Body, Heart Mind, and Spirit. You’ll explore:

• What the Heart Mind is
• The emotions of the yin and yang organs according to the 5 Elements
• Yang Sheng — Medical Qigong and Chinese Wellness
• How to prevent heart disease and stroke
• The significance of Tea and philosophy
• The One Healing Practice/Exercise

Module 10: The Spirit Way The Spirit IS the Well

Many people question the nature of the Eternal Self or The Spirit. In Indigenous and shamanic cultures (including the Chinese tribes), the spiritual aspect of being is always prevalent.

In the contemporary exploration of the nature of the world through quantum physics, it’s reasonable to discuss the eternal aspect of The Self. In the Qigong and Yang Sheng contexts, not only is there an eternal aspect of ourselves, it is in fact the source of the most profound medicine.

It’s accepted that the body and mind occasionally need medicine, but questioning whether the spirit needs medicine invites us to consider that the Spirit is, in fact, the ultimate medicine.

In the framework of the three treasures — Body, Heart Mind, Spirit — the practice of Qigong is focused on removing barriers and obstructions to one’s ability to express their ultimate nature in daily life. Expressing one’s essence or ultimate nature assumes an open heart, an open mind, an open Qi field and the capacity to celebrate no matter what is going on. This is often referenced as “a peace that transcends understanding” and calm in the midst of complexity.

In this module, we’ll explore why Qigong is among the most eloquent forms of purposeful expression of one’s spiritual essence ever developed by humans. We’ll explore:

• The profound meaning of “The Spirit is the Well”
• Yang Sheng — Medical Qigong and Chinese Wellness
• Our Eternal Nature
• The Power of Gratitude
• The One Healing Practice/Exercise

 Module 11: The Community of Practice The Tribe, the Sangha

To conclude your learning and collaboration, it’s natural to look at how to sustain your practice — and how to coordinate your internal capacity (based on the three treasures) to realize the benefit of practice, even when you are practicing by yourself.

When we find our way to a sustainable practice, we are mobilizing the medicine within, we are in accord with the Qi Medicine Way, and we are leveraging The Welling Way. Coordinating the aspects of ourselves under the influence of these practices is a kind of radical celebration.

There is both the community of the parts of ourselves collaborating within ourselves, and the community of practice outside of yourself; in ancient tribes and spiritual traditions, these communities were our neighbors.

In this module, we’ll encourage participants to not only practice by themselves but to also enter a community of practice — in schools, hospitals, spas, yoga studios, faith-based centers.

There is also the nonlocal community of practice, consisting of millions of people around the world who are also practicing. They are our allies — we sometimes refer to them as “friends in Qi” — and we can communicate with this community through the Internet.

Finally, there is a community of practice which transcends time, which consists of everyone who has ever had a practice throughout history. When we do our practice, we are in communion with all Beings who have ever purposefully cultivated themselves.

In this module, we’ll explore:

• How research and experience prove that interaction with others is a kind of medicine
• The community of Self — body parts and organs, aspects of heart and mind, the Spirit
• The nature of external community
• Ways to practice with people in the region
• Ways to practice with people internationally through the internet
• The transcendental community of all who have ever practiced — and how to cultivate connection with them across all time and dimensions
• Yang Sheng — Medical Qigong and Chinese Wellness
• The sustainability of practice
• The One Healing Practice/Exercise

 Module 12: Integration Session & Course Completion

In this closing session, you’ll participate in a community celebration and be invited to continue to practice and interact and support each other as a community.

Again, you’ll find that the power of our community of practice is less about learning new things and much more about noticing what happens to distract you from what you already know.

And you’ll find that with your deepened skills and our community of practice, you’re more resourced than ever in your ability to access inner peace, health maximization, stress mastery, and best choices.
