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 by Professor Jerry Alan Johnson, the founder of the IIMQ, and is regularly added to by the executive director, Dr. Bernard Shannon.

Private instruction and workshops at Oregon Medical Qigong offer additional ways to train as a practitioner of Chinese Energetic Medicine, learn medical qigong self-healing or secular sitting meditation for health.

Meditation

Meditation is an important element in healing.

Much of our experience originates from a thought. A tiny flicker of thought proliferates into emotion, attitude, or stress. Learning to relax deeply and allow thoughts to dissolve in meditation allows us to discover loving acceptance for ourselves and an open, awakened heart. Meditation is a simple process utilizing posture, breath, and awareness that soothes mind and spirit.

We offer meditation to join mind, body, and heart, and to balance the energetic aspects of qigong that are so effective in healing. We regard meditation and qigong as inseparable... No experience is necessary.
