Mind-Body Medicine, Energy Medicine, Mind-Body Energetics, Quantum Healing are all terms that are used internationally to describe Qigong and Tai Chi. It is now widely known that disease can be prevented and healed, health can be maximized, and aging can be moderated and even reversed through lifestyle changes.
Much of this exciting information is not new in the tradition of Chinese medicine and the potentiation of longevity and the reversal of aging according to Chinese theory and philosophy.
Exciting and Historic News!!
This may be the most exciting news in the field of Mind-Body Energetics — Qigong and Tai Chi. The official textbook of the Chinese medical schools Chinese Medical Qigong has been translated into English. In China this text book is in its third edition and is entitled Qigong Study in Chinese Medicine (Zhong Yi Qigong Xue).
This is a historic event in the history of medicine as it reveals that self-initiated practice of Qigong, with encouragement from health care providers, has a central place in the Chinese health care system.
Dr. Jahnke Selected as a Key Translator
This is also historic for us here at the Institute of Integral Qigong and Tai Chi (IIQTC) as our Director, Dr. Roger Jahnke, OMD, was selected to do the final phase of translation of the clinical chapters of this important book. Dr. Jahnke took his first Tai Chi class in 1967, commenced the study of Chinese Medicine in 1971 and was graduated as a doctor of Chinese medicine in 1975. In his 30 years of clinical practice, he became the chief of staff of one of the earliest integrative medicine clinics in Santa Barbara California.
Dr. Jahnke is the co-founder of the National Qigong Association, the founder and director of the Institute of Integral Qigong and Tai Chi (IIQTC), and the author of two of the most widely respected and best selling books on Mind-Body Practice— Tai Chi and Qigong — The Healer Within (Harper-Collins) and The Healing Promise of Qi (McGraw-Hill).
The Book
Chinese Medical Qigong is the result of the collaborative efforts of more than thirty faculty members in a dozen colleges and universities of Traditional Chinese Medicine in China.
