International Institute of Medical Qigong ---------------------------------------Certification and Training Program in Chinese Medicine and Medical Qigong What Is Traditional Chinese Medicine? Traditional Chinese Medicine is not just another alternative medicine. It is in fact, a vast, complex and comprehensive system of completely natural medicine that has diagnosed, treated and prevented illness for well over five thousand years. It is the oldest continuously practiced medicine in the entire world. It is now becoming increasingly popular in the U.S.A and western countries. And is being integrated into most modern medical systems. More than 40% of the world’s population now use TCM. In China nearly 1,300 million people use it. It is regarded there with equal status to western medicine and both systems are often combined together in the treatment of disease. Its effectiveness has been recognized by the World Health Organisation, which now actively promotes its use in the west and its integration into all western national health services. It is an ancient and sophisticated form of medicine. Whose basic theories, due to their success and efficacy, have remained unchanged for more than three thousand years? Its effects are threefold – to cure illness, to prevent illness and to promote health. It works on all levels of health - mental, emotional, spiritual and physical. Can treat all types of patients - from babies to the elderly. And can help in the treatment of all types of acute and chronic ailments – from accidents to cancers. It is highly adaptable, safe and can be performed anywhere. It is entirely compatible with all other systems of medicine, such as western medicine. And can be used to enhance and support their treatments. It is safe to say that there is no sick person who cannot be helped by TCM. It is a holistic form of medicine that does not just focus on the disease but rather on the whole person, to bring them back to a healthy state of balance and harmony. What Is Medical Qigong? Increasing cultural exchanges between China and the West have led to Medical Qigong, the most powerful of the Chinese medical disciplines, finally being made available to medical practitioners outside of China. Medical Qigong is an ancient form of Chinese energetic medicine, and is one of the four main branches of Traditional Chinese Medicine, along with acupuncture, herbal medicine, and Tuina medical massage. Medical Qigong has been practiced in China for over 5000 years. As with the other branches of Traditional Chinese Medicine, healing occurs through balancing qi or electromagnetic energy which surrounds and pervades all living creatures. ‘Qi’ can be interpreted as ‘Life Energy’ or ‘Life Force’. The presence and active movement of Qi energy and force in the body distinguishes the difference between a persons body when alive compared to dead – when the body has become energy less. When ill, Qi energy in a person flows excessively or weakly through the body compared to when in good health. Qigong is the practice of cultivating and managing this life force energy in the body. When Qi is properly cultivated or managed in the body a person remains in good mental, emotional, physical and spiritual health. Management of Qi is carried out by utilizing special breathing techniques in combination with mental concentration exercises and still postures or slow, coordinated physical movements of different parts of the body. These keep blood flow and pressure healthy; improve efficiency of oxygen delivery as well as balance activity of the nervous, hormonal, digestive and immune systems. They also have a major impact on the mind and emotions, relieving stress and releasing deep seated negative emotions. Disruptions in the electromagnetic energy of the body can occur throughout our lifetime as a result of poor diet, sedentary lifestyle, injuries, surgery, environmental influences, suppression of emotions, over working and aging. The goal of qigong is initially to correct these bio-energetic imbalances and blockages. Then to gather up, cultivate and circulate energies to reach and power up to a superior level of health. Medical qigong therapy consists of treatment by a practitioner to regulate and tonify the patient's qi. After the treatment the patient will be given qigong prescriptions to assist in their ongoing healing. Tailored specifically to the patient, medical qigong exercises use physical movement, breathing methods and mental intention to correct and restore the function in the body. Medical qigong is a complete system of health care that recognizes the root causes of symptoms or disease, and treats the patient as a whole. It can be used alone or practiced as an excellent adjunct to Western medicine or other forms of Chinese medicine. Medical Qigong accelerates these healing processes while minimising any negative side effects. Acupuncture’s effectiveness can be greatly increased when used in conjunction with Medical Qigong. What Are The Benefits Of Practicing Or Receiving Qigong? Qigong’s great appeal is that anyone can enrich their lives by adding qigong to their daily routine, regardless of ability, age, belief system, or life circumstances. Qigong exercises enable people to feel and perform better and have higher levels of energy and stamina. People practice qigong to maintain health, heal their bodies, calm their minds, and reconnect with their spirit. Qigong exercises properly practiced can: Improve and maintain physical strength, flexibility and energy Tone body shape and increase metabolism Help to relieve pain, illness, and physical problems Boost the immune system and dramatically reduce or completely stop the onset of colds and infections Improve mental functioning, clarity, memory and concentration Nourish your emotions and spiritual well being Provide a feeling of calm, comfort, balance, and rejuvenation Aid in increasing longevity and decelerate the aging process In simple terms, Qigong benefits every single aspect in every system in the body, spirit and mind. After practicing these exercises, all students attending the course will see a dramatic improvement in their own overall health and well being. How Is Qigong Applied To Treat Illness And Improve Health? Medical qigong can be divided into two methods of application internal qigong or self treatment and external qigong or qi emission. Internal Qigong or Self Treatment: Internal qigong is a major part of Qigong therapy. This form of qigong is practiced by oneself to achieve a specific purpose. A form of psycho-physiological self-regulation, internal qigong regulates the qi of the body for the purposes of harmonizing our internal energy systems for health enhancement and disease prevention. Typically, these are simple breathing and movement exercises combined with standing or seated meditations. External Qigong or Qi Emission: External qigong refers to the process by which qigong practitioners direct or emit qi to others to purge and release toxic emotions from within the body's tissues, eliminate energetic stagnations, as well as tonify, and regulate the internal organs, immune system, and energetic fields. The practitioner may touch areas on the other person's body or simply pass their hands over the body. When patients are ill and their own level of qi is very low or stagnant, receiving qi from a qigong practitioner is a very powerful stimulant toward recovery. What Is Involved In A Typical Medical Qigong Treatment? A treatment session lasts about 45 minutes. The Initial session may be longer. Evaluation … This differs from what may happen at a Western doctor's office, in that not only is it important to find out the primary reason and symptoms for the client's visit, but also the underlying ones that may be the root cause of the dysfunction or disease. The tongue, pulse, face, eyes, voice, posture, and attitude are some of the characteristics that are observed. Using the person's voice as an example, the qualities of which can be used to help diagnose where and what type of Qi deviations may be occurring in the body. Is the voice loud (an excess condition) or soft and weak (a deficient condition)? Can an emotion be detected in the voice (anger, sadness, worry, etc.)? Can an overall pattern be determined by the tone of the voice? The practitioner may also use energetic means of diagnosing the client. The practitioner can scan the client's body for energetic abnormalities; typically these are areas which have an excessive, deficient, or stagnant energy. All of these observations when combined will assist the practitioner in discovering the client's patterns of physiological, psychological and energetic dysfunction. Based on this information the practitioner will formulate a treatment protocol. Treatment … During a session, the patient usually lies on a treatment couch. Qi can pass through air and clothing, so there is no need to disrobe. The practitioner often works about a foot away from the patient's body, and sometimes lightly touches the patient to guide and manipulate the movement of Qi. The practitioner will follow specific treatment protocols and purge, tonify or clear blockages in the patient’s energy fields according to the principles and methods they have learnt. The patient may feel varying sensations, some of which can be quite strong and intense, as the Qi moves, such as warmth, tingling, coolness, vibration, and sometimes twitching as the stagnant energy releases. Generally, patients find the treatments extremely relaxing and rejuvenating. Sometimes patients may become aware of uncomfortable emotions that have been suppressed and have an emotional release either during or after the treatment. As one of the primary goals of Medical Qigong therapy is to release toxic emotions from within the body's tissues, having an emotional release is extremely beneficial to one's psychological and physiological well-being. Prescriptions … After the treatment the patient will be given Qigong prescriptions to assist in their ongoing healing. These Medical Qigong exercises and meditations are tailored specifically to the patients, similar to an acupuncturist prescribing healing herbs or a medical doctor giving a pharmaceutical prescription. Follow Up Treatment … Depending on their illness, patients may need a number of treatments to alleviate it. Many practitioners also find that because of the relaxing effect of the treatment and its feel good effects and improvement of general health and well being, that long after their illness has gone, patients still keep coming back for more treatment on a regular basis.

And are also recognized by all medical Qigong colleges, universities and The Ministry of Health in The Peoples Republic of China. The Following Qi Tonification And Regulation Exercises Will Be Taught During The Course … Taoist 5 Yin and Yang The Daoist 5 Yin and Yang exercises are a set of extremely effective exercises which tonify and regulate the internal organs energies. The system is divided into two sections. The first section stimulates, energizes, and regulates the body's Yang organs and channels. This results in the strengthening of the body's peristaltic action and aiding digestive illnesses. The second section stimulates, energizes, and regulates the body's Yin organs and channels. The Yin organs are responsible for the storage of the body's energy. 6 Healing Sounds Exercises Ancient Taoists developed a clear set of simple techniques employing sounds, stretching, breathing and visualization to cool, relax and heal the body's organ systems. The six healing sounds involve using sound vibrations and techniques to strengthen, harmonize, and re-energize these vital organs, creating optimum health. Easy to learn and wonderful for young and old alike, these exercises cleanse the body of toxins, negative emotions and stagnant Qi. The practice of the Six Healing Sounds is very flexible. You can practice all six sounds in order or only practice specific sounds to treat specific conditions in the body. And also many other Qigong exercises such as … The Golden Ball - Kuan Kungs Golden Beard - Ba Duan Jin Eight Pieces of Brocade The Five Standing Postures - Purging and Dredging Stagnant Qi Exercises Counter Swing, Dropping Post, and Trembling Horse - The Old Man and the Tide Pool Walking Therapy – I Chuan Postures Many Shen Gong meditations will also be taught on the course. Such as … 8 Direction Meditation The Eight Direction Perception meditation, adopted from the Buddhist Monks, was practiced in order to expand awareness, perception, and psychic ability. Through the complexities of modern society, many people have numbed their abilities to feel their own emotions, internal energies and the subtle powers and intentions that permeate our existence. This meditation releases the trapped emotional memory and stagnant energy lodged in the body's tissues, which inhibit sensory functioning. Life force breathing Meditation The ancient masters of Tai Ji Quan (Tai Chi Chuan) believed that health and self empowerment were dependent upon one's Life Force Energy. They found that meditation proved to be one of the most effective and concise ways of developing internal energy. To enhance and deepen their training they created the Life Force Breathing meditation, which is designed to mentally touch and energize every cell of the body. This meditation begins by liberating the body of energy obstructions that cause stagnation in the tissues and channels (meridians). The body is then reconstructed energetically, thereby cleansing and rejuvenating the viscera, circulatory, digestive, respiratory, nervous, muscular, and reproductive systems of the body. Finally, the Wei Qi (body's protective energy) is expanded and strengthened. Wu Zang (Five Organ) Meditation for Energetic Protection A very powerful meditation which is still taught today in China used to prepare Qigong doctors before treating patients in a clinical environment, because it surrounds then with a strong field of protective energy (Wei Qi). When a Qigong doctor enters the space of a diseased patient, the potential for absorbing the patient's pathogenic Qi is high. Noting this potential for harm, the ancient Chinese Qigong masters developed certain meditations to protect themselves from the patient's diseased or turbid Qi. This meditation still has value even if you are not a clinician. In daily life we are constantly exposed to pathogenic Qi from the environment (wind, cold, rain, etc.) or from people with whom we come in contact. The meditation can be used to protect a person from absorbing other people's pathogenic Qi, and strengthen the immune system for fending off invading pathogenic factors such as colds and the flu.
