Spring Quarter 2008
Level IA: Foundation
(The prerequisite for all subsequent courses.)
Welcome to the ancient
art and practice of Qigong! This class teaches the foundational exercises for practicing
Yi Ren Qigong. The purpose of these exercises is to build more energy, activate
and stabilize the energy field, and to develop the body's information system. In
this class we learn a series of gentle and relaxing movement and breathing exercises,
which are designed to refresh, restore and reorganize our sense of well being. We
will learn to construct an energy field, open and activate energy centers, develop
the internal energy circulation system, increase vitality, enhance immunity, improve
sleep, feel more connected to the Earth, and relax! We will build a foundation to
create more harmony and balance in our daily life.

Level IB: Foundation
(Completion of Level IA class required.)
In Level I-A, opening the Life Gate, activated the internal power station, increased internal energy levels, and developed the Central Energy Circulating System. Level I-B opens and activates the Marrow and Brain Gate, increasing our awareness of the internal body for energy management and self-mastery. A special Internal Energy Connection practice will be introduced to develop internal strength and balance. The Wisdom Gate Opening and Activating Exercise, in combination with the Complementary Centers Integrating Practice, will enhance internal balance and harmony and increase the internal energy levels. These practices are essential for preparing the mind and body to experience the internal energy flow and to understand the information of our internal bodies, as we move to Level 2, the Large Universe.

Developing the Internal Power of
"Jing" and "Rou"
(Completion of Level I class required.)
The practices in this course are designed to develop the strength of our physical body. The internal power
of Jing and Rou will be our focus. The power of Jing is a dynamic current in the body that can be
developed by integrating our Qi with the force of the muscles. The power of Rou is the strength of our
tendons, which can be developed by integrating our Qi with the nature of the tendons.
These practices will help us to experience the springiness and flexibility of both the muscles and the
tendons. We will work with the Qi we have already activated in our Qigong practice and focus on
strengthening the container. Our purpose is two-fold: to enhance the robustness of the body, and to
balance the sensitivity that comes of opening the energy field.

Level II: Large Universe
(Completion of Level I class required.)
In this course we continue
to open and develop the internal energy pathways to energize the internal organs.
Practitioners learn acu-pressure techniques, and specific exercises to balance and
energize the organ meridians. The internal organ pathways form the bridge between
the mind and the inner self. These exercises play an essential role in developing
emotional well being, and help practitioners gain internal realization, raising
subconscious material to the conscious level as well as providing informational
feedback about our state of mind, interactions with others, habitual responses,
and our environment.
