Qi and the Healer Within

This Podcast is "Qi and the Healer Within" by Dr. Roger Jahnke, a doctor of Oriental Medicine. This program is condensed from its original presentation at Omega Institute. People don't realize that they can heal themselves for free. Cultures that we consider "primitive" knew this. The medical intervention that we are used to is not healthcare. Rather, healthcare is self-care, self-healing, and health promotion, not intervention. Medicine is produced in your body. Listen to Dr. Jahnke explain this profound, fascinating, and yet mysterious force that maintains our health. Dr Jahnke has been at the forefront of promoting qigong and tai chi for over 30 years. He is a co-founder of the National Qigong Association, a licensed Oriental Medical doctor, author of several texts on Qigong and self-healing practices, and an international lecturer known for informative and interesting presentations. For more information on seminars and training offered by Dr. Jahnke, visit his websites, http://www.iiqtc.org and http://www.feeltheqi.com. His trainings will be of special interest to those who would like to change careers to be a part of the health care revolution, such as yoga teachers who want to be certified in qigong and tai chi.

This Podcast is "Medical Qigong in the 21st Century" by Dr. Teb Cibik, one of a handful of Doctors of Medical Qigong in North America. This program from a presentation at the Holistica Expo, October 2003 outlines how ancient Chinese Medical practices, specifically Medical Qigong, can be blended with western medicine to provide healing from western medical diagnosis previously thought uncorrectable. This will be of special interest to people with chronic illness where Western medical treatment is ineffective, non-existent, or simply gives up. Medical Qigong is the alternative that looks at the body energetically. Dr. Cibik finishes with a very simple, yet powerful Qigong practice.

The Philosophy and Practice of Qigong

qigonginstitute — Wed, 10 Jan 2007 16:10:43 GMT

This podcast was originally recorded at a seminar that Francesco Garripoli, President of the Qigong Institute, gave at Omega Institute as part of a National Qigong Association annual conference. Francesco has a rare gift of being able to put the ineffable into words. His insight and perspective comes from thirty years of teaching and practicing Qigong and is just as relevant for people who have never done Qigong as those who have been doing it for years. He talks about how to take a more simple approach to the practice of Qigong and how it fits into your life. The core of Qigong practice involves the redefinition of self and re-patterning of your relation with the world -- allowing the inherent intelligence in your being to take over -- without you getting in the way. Learn how to reduce stress and avoid giving away your Qi by anxiety over the future or dwelling on the past. For more information on Qigong, go to www.qigonginstitute.org

An interview with 86-year old Ken Sancier, founder of the Qigong Institute. Ken discusses the reasons for the founding of the Institute, how as a western trained scientist he became interested in the study of Qigong, and the myriad research and proven health benefits of Qigong. The Qigong Institute is a 501 (c)(3) non-profit corporation dedicated to Qigong education and research. Qigong is a 5000 year old Chinese health modality for disease prevention and treatment of chronic illness, especially where western medical solutions are lacking. Qigong and its better known moving forms like Tai Chi are increasingly being embraced by people seeking to take control of their own health and well being.
