The Theory of Totality in Yuan Qigong and Ren Xue is a fundamental base for understanding the laws of the universe and realizing our true potential as human beings.

Qigong is based on traditional Chinese medicine and the theoretical focus of both is Qi. This is a very different paradigm from that of Western thinking and the explanation of how Qigong works requires some background.

In both Western and Chinese Traditional Medicine, the lungs hold a very important place in our wellbeing. Qigong to strengthen the lungs is a great tool to improve your health and wellbeing.

So many of us suffer from anxiety. How can we cope with this escalating fear and worry? Practicing Qigong for anxiety and stress can be a very helpful tool to calm our body and mind. This is what Yuan Qigong has to offer.

The benefits of Yuan Qigong – why I really love this practice. After many years of diving deeply into other spiritual teachings and practices, including Qigong, I now choose to practice only Yuan Qigong and Ren Xue. I love the surprising speed with which states of calmness and integration are experienced, even with the most basic movements and methods, and that there is an immediate correlation between the amount of ‘effort’ I put in and the states of wellbeing I feel at all levels.

Which are the best Qigong practices for you? One thing I realized is that you need to consider carefully what you would like to get out of a Qigong practice. Is it better health? A sense of flow? Mental clarity? More relaxation? Once you’ve embarked on your practice, keep track of your progress to see if you are getting the benefits you want. Here is what Yuan Qigong has to offer.

My heart sang with happiness. It was working. My youngest was thriving. Some might say it was the innovative school pilot project making the difference. And yes, there are several factors making that true. But, at the heart of it all, I would say it’s the natural human qualities that profoundly touch us all that are making the real difference. See why heart-based teaching in children’s education is so important.

The true interests shared by all people are to be healthy, happy, have a genuine sense of well-being, grow, and contribute in a meaningful way to others. This is called the ‘Five Treasures of Life’ in Ren Xue, and it is what we aspire to cultivate as Ren Xue students and practitioners.

I once thought that trust was about trusting in a person, thing, or outcome. It was about having a desired sense of control over an outcome. This is not the kind of trust I refer to now. I’m referring to a trust that is more foundational to life. It is not at all dependent on an external set of circumstances. Learn how to cultivate trust from deep inside your heart.

If you are looking for a more physical practice, Yoga provides a total body practice with many health and spiritual benefits while Qigong works deeply on life force and Qi, promoting a calm state that maintains your health and even promotes healing. Find out more about these two ancient practices and their benefits.

What is it about Yuan Qigong that has inspired me to establish and successfully KEEP a daily Qigong routine? The benefits that I experience multiply as I keep going. Physically, I no longer suffer from neck and back pain, joint pain, or vertigo that I’ve had for many years. But the benefits don’t stop there. My practice helps me to reach a calm, relaxed, and natural state. I feel content and like I am exactly where I belong. With Yuan Qigong you can easily establish a safe and effective daily Qigong routine to immediately improve your health and calm your mind.

When I talk to adults who consider themselves highly sensitive, I hear a pattern in their responses. They never felt like they belonged. Their ideas were mocked. They felt misunderstood and sometimes bullied. They all wished they had someone who understood them as a child and that they hadn’t needed to hide parts of themselves. Most of them stopped allowing themselves to feel free. Many of them lost connections with their hearts and the ability to be more aware in the world.

You watched The Secret and followed the directions perfectly, but your million dollars and that Tesla still haven’t appeared. Why? In the original versions of the book, Think & Grow Rich, on which the movie is based, the author tells us that the key to success is to raise our vibration. Learn how to manifest with these powerful ancient Qigong practices.

Discovering Qigong practices for back pain was a significant turning point in my life. I have suffered from neck, back, and shoulder pain for most of my adult life. I’ve blamed it on my work: I’ve been sitting at a computer for many years as a software developer. But I also know we hold emotions and stress in our shoulders and I’ve always been a very busy person with a lot of responsibility. I’ve tried all sorts of things to alleviate my pain and other challenging symptoms until I came across the powerful Yuan Qigong methods.

The Chinese zodiac, also known as the shengxiao or “born resembling”, is a system that dates back to the Han Dynasty (202 BC – 220 AD). It is based on a twelve-year cycle, each year being represented by an animal sign. These signs are the rat, ox, tiger, rabbit, dragon, snake, horse, goat, monkey, rooster, dog, and pig.

Standing in front of an audience can trigger a lot of patterns and fears and depending on one’s life experience these can be quite varied yet very strong. In my case, a deeply embedded pattern used to be unconsciously scanning the responses of others for the subtlest shifts in facial expression and interpreting those (mostly incorrectly) through an internal matrix of disapproval, criticism, or confusion.

What is the real power of making wishes or setting goals for the new year, and how can Qigong help manifest your new year’ s resolutions?

As a society we are understanding and exploring trauma on a deeper and deeper level, and as we do so an awareness of our individual and collective pain can surface and at times be very intense. What do Yuan Qigong and Ren Xue have to offer when trauma is part of our experience?

When I was a kid and Star Wars was the big thing, my interest was on fast spaceships, aliens, laser weapons and not to forget Wookies! I was not much interested in the force, nor in the cultures which might have influenced George Lucas to create it. This all changed when I started to practice Qigong.
