Our focus in this Yi Ren® Qigong practitioner retreat will be on internal virtues cultivation and its relationship to consciousness. Our Qigong practice brings the Qi inward, into the deeper layers of the body and the body's consciousness; the Qi is the medium that brings the mind to the consciousness of the body and brings the consciousness of the body to the mind, allowing the mind and the consciousness of the body to communicate with each other. As the body holds up a mirror to the mind, reflecting whatever thoughts and emotions are around us and within us, our practice helps us to recognize and become aware of these thoughts and emotions.
Our virtues retreat series provides methods and tools for experiencing and recognizing the nature and the qualities of internal energies and their relationship to consciousness, which is the foundation of spiritual development in traditional teaching. In the internal cultivation tradition the establishment of virtue is understood to be not an ethereal or abstract, ideal state, but an embodied achievement, one which reflects the deep inner nature of the internal organs. And this embodiment of virtues—love, justice, appropriateness, wisdom, and loyalty—by the organs, nourishes and accelerates our spiritual development.
The practices in our virtues retreat series provide a unique opportunity to understand the essence of the ancient book, Dao De Jing (Tao Te Jing) — “The Way of Virtues” from the point of view of the internal cultivation tradition. In this Retreat we will offer practices and meditations based upon teaching in the Dao De Jing, helping us to understand this ancient and profound text in a new way—as a guide book for fuller growth and development through internal virtues cultivation.

In this half-day Yi Ren® Qigong Practitioner Retreat, our focus will be on ways of nourishing
the unity of Qi-Mind-Body-Spirit. We will cover some basics of spiritual self-protection, and
offer guidance on connecting to wholesome, clear, and beneficial sources of consciousness and
energy. The correct alignment of thought and mind, in combination with our energetic practice,
will enhance the possibilities for continued progress in the cultivation process.
Dr. Sun will offer Qigong practices and guidance on maintaining the center, and on aligning the
consciousness (and thus the energy); our intent is to focus the group energy on behalf of the
group itself and on each participant in order to create a healthy and positive 2007 for everyone,
and to extend this healthy and positive energy into the collective.
