Discovering Qi takes an insightful look at the concept of qi. It will undoubtedly leave you with a new appreciation for the meaning and significance of qi. It is common to hear and see the word qi or chi spoken or written, and it is uncommon to understand the fullness of its meaning in being with The Way, practicing or teaching qigong and appreciating the wonders of creation.

This course is an independent study format. Once you sign up you will be sent a syllabus with all the necessary information to compete the course. In this course you will read a key book on qi. It is compelling and readily understandable and digestible. After reading the book there will be a series of questions to complete for credit. All you need to do is sign up and follow the syllabus. While the class stands alone, it will complement other courses taken and reinforce key principles in Taoism, TCM and Qigong. Remember, you progress at your own pace within the timeframe allotted for Program Completion. In the event you have questions, you always have access to the director of the program.

This is a required course for Qigong Certification and for Taoist Studies. Please refer to Qigong Certification and Taoist Studies to gauge your progress if you are unsure.

Many know of Lao Tzu and see him as the principal Taoist. Lao Tzu had contemporaries equal to his contribution. Chuang Tzu was among them. “Among the great books ever written about the nature of truth, Chuang Tzu’s is the highest,” (Ni, 2015, I Ching, p. 452). Part 4 will take us to the end of the work and prompt us to be stewards and responsible citizens for a healthy and vibrant planet and for all who make it home now and into the future.

Yogi Bhajan’s Rebirthing series are some of the most talked about classes he offered in his 35 years of teaching.  By healing wounds of the past, we start to create a new life, a new way of being, and we start to live in alignment with who we truly are.

These classes have the profound transformational power of healing the pain of the past and helping to overcome the obstacles that keep us from living our best lives, awakened, vibrant, potent, and present to our purpose.  There are 31 separate classes in this Rebirthing series.

This third six-week series is an opportunity to continue to drop some baggage and become clearer in mind and purpose through movement, breath, mantra, mudra and sound.
