Qigong Training

International Institute of Medical Qigong certification programs and training offered by Oregon Medical Qigong are based mainly upon the curriculum established at the Medical Qigong College at the Hai Dian University and used clinically at the Xi Yuan Medical Qigong Hospital in Beijing, China. This knowledge was meticulously and extensively collected and published by Professor Jerry Alan Johnson, the founder of the IIMQ, and is regularly added to by the IIMQ's executive director, Dr. Bernard Shannon.

Private instruction and workshops at Oregon Medical Qigong offer the core curriculum of the IIMQ, supported by the sitting meditation knowledge of the Shambhala Buddhist path. At Oregon Medical Qigong, you can train in self- healing, the IIMQ curriculum as a practitioner of Chinese Energetic Medicine, and secular sitting meditation for health.

Meditation

Meditation is an important element in healing.

Much of our experience originates from a tiny flicker of thought, which can proliferate into unbridled attitude, emotion, or stress.

Who's in charge? Awareness which is our "higher self", or habitual impusles and fixations that we ususally identify as our story?

Learning to relax deeply, and allow thoughts (and self) to dissolve in meditation allows us to tame our minds. In sitting meditation, we discover loving acceptance for ourselves and an open, awakened heart.

Meditation is a simple process utilizing posture, breath, and awareness.

At Oregon Medical Qigong we offer meditation to join mind and body, descending mind into heart, heart into body, rooting all into earth.

Breath grounds us, and naturally soothes mind and spirit. Augmented by medical qigong,

breath and meditation join heaven and earth.

Descending and rooting the mind balances the potent and energetic aspects of medical qigong that are so effective in healing.

At Oregon Medical Qigong we regard meditation and qigong as truly inseparable..

No experience is necessary.
