Qigong as a Natural Elixir to Activate Your Body’s Capacity for Self–Healing – Dr. Roger Jahnke

In this first step of your journey, Dr. Jahnke will walk you through the roots of the grand ancient medicine traditions — and share how the most profound medicine is produced within the human mind-body integration.

You’ll explore the powerful truth that integrating body-mind-spirit practices into your life IS the medicine you’ve been searching for.

Dr. Jahnke will also share the effect Qigong has on the immune system — which is more important than ever during this era of COVID-19.

He’ll also explain the true meaning of Qi — the presence and the power of the essential energy of the universe within your own being.

In this opening module, you’ll:

• Discover how many different cultures created their own mind-body practice systems based on Qigong’s 3 Treasures — body, breath, and mind
• Understand the physiology of the medicine within as you explore the effect of Qigong on all functional systems — including the nervous, digestive, cardiovascular, endocrine, pulmonary, lymphatic, hepatic, and renal systems
• Discover the importance of strengthening vagal tone, the activity of the 10th cranial nerve — a fundamental component of the parasympathetic branch of the autonomic nervous system
• Explore how to neutralize the chronic inflammation that creates pain, insomnia, fatigue, mental fog, anxiety, depression, hypervigilance, and almost every type of chronic health challenge or disease
• Discover the 7 phases of healing and transformation inherent in Qigong
• Move through a guided practice that distills the 4 comprehensive Qigong practices you’ll learn, practice, and refine during the rest of your time in the course

During this class, you’ll explore how Chinese medicine is based on the energies of Heaven and Earth merging to create life — and how the origins of this brilliant ancient medical system stretch all the way back to the Shamanic Era, well over 2,500 years ago…

Dr. Jahnke will explain how, according to Chinese Medicine, pain and disease manifest through the Qi channels — and why healing occurs by regulating the Qi channels. As you’ll discover, the Tracing the Channels practice activates and nourishes Qi. Which is crucial because increased Qi = increased functional capacity.

You’ll explore how human beings are expressions of the Three Treasures of Chinese Medicine — the Earth Below (Yin/Body), Heaven (Yang/Spirit), and our living and feeling being that resides between Heaven and Earth Below.

What do you want most — healing? Productivity? Creativity? Inner Peace?

You’ll discover the power you have to mobilize your preferred destiny.

In this session, you’ll explore:

• The sensation — and the presence — of Qi and its function within and around you
• The Theory of the Qi Channels System in Chinese medicine
• One of the most original Qigong methods to access and mobilize your own inner medicine: The Elixir of Healthy Longevity
• How Qi and the Qi channels support the function of your organs and senses, along with your mind
• How the energy of the universe operates in the human body
• Tracing the Energy Channels, a practice that encourages and enhances the distribution of Qi and function while calming the nervous system and maximizing immunity

Many ancient cultures explored the power of the directions — often referred to as the Medicine Wheel.

During this session, Dr. Jahnke will share an easy practice, Marrow Bathing Qigong, to help you better understand your own inherent power — the medicine within — and to help you understand and cultivate the powers of the directions of the Medicine Wheel.

As you’ll discover, Marrow Bathing is very easy to remember — so you can practice it in natural settings like parks, forests, beaches, and mountains.

Dr. Jahnke will also explain the ancient Chinese view of bone marrow as the repository of inherent Qi power. You’ll be amazed at the contemporary scientific view — that bone marrow is the actual source of the stem cells that create the immune cells.

In this module, you’ll:

• Discover how Qigong empowers immunity, sustains vitality, and creates psychological stability
• Learn about the powers of the compass directions of the Chinese Medicine Wheel according to all the ancient cultures — and how to access them for yourself
• Feel the palpable emotions that come with embodying the powers of the directions in your own being
• Explore the Marrow Bathing Practice, one of the most ancient Qigong practices — which is so easy to remember that you can easily do it anytime you’re outside in nature
• Discover how the Marrow Washing Practice, an exercise guided by the 4 directions of the Daoist Medicine Wheel, helps you create a comprehensive experience of mind-body-spirit wholeness

The 7 Precious Gestures is a unique Qigong sequence including four precious preparatory movements and three gestures that tell the story of a person just like you — a seeker on a quest to acquire supervitality and inner peace.

And it provides a template to help you cultivate a deeper internal dialogue. Over the years, Dr. Jahnke has found that this practice is especially moving to people — at the level of the heart and feeling.

The Precious Gestures practice focuses on an array of powerful breath practices that accompany the movements.

During this class, you’ll explore how the ancient tribes of China, like all Indigenous communities, understood that engaging the body and breath while focusing the mind is the most profound medicine. This can help transform habituation and the effects of trauma such as stress, anxiety, depression, disease, lack of purpose and inspiration, and more.

In this module, you’ll discover how the 7 Precious Gestures Qigong practice is:

• Focused on the breath to neutralize the effects of trauma, grief, hypervigilance, and extreme distress
• The embodiment of the archetypal story of personal aspiration that leads to inner alchemy and enlightenment
• A powerful tool to transmute your most negative thoughts — and cultivate your very best personal qualities
• A path to discovering and giving birth to a new version of yourself
• An eye-opening and heart-opening opportunity to ask yourself, “Do I really benefit from the circular thinking about my most prominent trials in life? What can I do instead?”

Chinese physicians, shamans, and kung fu masters alike have long understood the importance of the fascia, the body’s connective tissue…

During this session, Dr. Jahnke will share connective-tissue-transforming Qigong practices for energizing your work and play, neutralizing pain, and enhancing sleep.

You’ll explore how the many benefits of these tendon-changing Qigong practices go beyond the obvious influence on muscles, bones, and structure — they actually generate electrical forces in your body for resiliency.

In this module, you’ll discover:

• Why most people don’t know much about their connective tissue — and how essential it is to being alive and well
• How activating the connective tissue (fascia) awakens a wide array of important human functions
• How our connective tissue literally holds everything together in our human system
• How the body’s connective tissue penetrates every organ, gland, muscle, joint, and the entire nervous system — and its impact on both your Qigong journey and the trajectory of your life and wellbeing
• A guided connective tissue transformation practice to help you feel as though you’ve been to the gym
• How connective tissue transformation Qigong is so very easy to learn and remember

It’s always powerful to attend a Qigong class. But its grand, breakthrough, transformative potential is reserved for those who commit to developing an ongoing personal practice…

As Dr. Jahnke will share during this class, the medicine within is not just for the body. When you practice Qigong with focus and intent, it’s potentially life-transforming — and can alter the trajectory of your future.

In this pivotal session, Dr. Jahnke will explain the theory, science, and philosophy that make Qigong such a powerful tool for redesigning your life.

Then, to prepare for the final class, you’ll move through a group review of the four foundational Qigong practice systems. You’ll experience for yourself how these accessible and easy practices create a powerful mind-body integration system.

In this module, you’ll explore:

• The key points that demonstrate the power of Qigong, at this point in your journey, illuminated by the demonstrations and the group practice sessions
• The ultimate Qigong power of developing your own personal, sustainable practice
• How modifying the practices to suit your needs is enthusiastically encouraged
• The ways — both logical and transpersonal — that consistent practice makes your desired mind-body transformation more accessible
• An extended guided practice session to help you deeply understand the 4 practice systems

In this session, you’ll celebrate how you and your fellow participants have multiplied your self-care skills through this course.

The events of this year drove home a powerful truth — that there are many infections, disorders, and novel viruses that conventional medicine just can’t protect us from. In fact, some estimates hold that between 80-90% of all chronic disease is preventable through behavioral change.

It’s now strikingly obvious that cultivating a personal mind-body practice is absolutely essential.

Time and again, it’s been proven that healthy people are at a lower risk for all kinds of disease, pain, and psychological distresses like anxiety, depression, trauma — AND viral infection.

So wellness seekers are embracing the opportunity — even the necessity — of cultivating self-generated resiliency through Qigong.

During this class, you’ll join together with your classmates to celebrate all you’ve learned — including tools and practices to protect and empower yourself for the rest of your life.

In this final module, you’ll experience :

• 4 powerful Qigong methods for sustaining your practice and unlocking the great healing promises of Qigong
• Why it’s been clear for decades that personal behavior is often the cause — AND the cure — for chronic disease
• The opportunity to step away from your computer and practice on your own for 15 minutes (as you’ll see, this is the most important segment of the entire course!)
• An extended closing practice session, mindfully weaving the 4 essential methods into a single continuum
• An extended Q&A session to ask Dr. Jahnke anything you’ve been wondering
