How can I Learn QiGong?

QiGong is now becoming quite popular in the U.S. and schools and teachers are popping up "faster than Chinese Restaurants."  There are many forms of QiGong in China and throughout the world today.  Most of the forms share similar roots and theories - but each has it's own special qualities.  While it is fortunate that QiGong is beginning to reach the world outside of China, there is currently no method in the U.S. to regulate or qualify skilled practitioners and teachers.  For the sake of the integrity of this ancient healing art - we ask students to be aware that a good name is not always a guarantee of a good product.  When looking for a teacher or school, it is a good idea to consider the following qualifications:

• How long has the teacher studied QiGong specifically?

• Who was the teacher's teacher?

• Have the teacher and the students experienced remarkable health benefits, and have they "felt the Qi"?

• If the teacher is a "Master" -- does he perform healing, and can he offer patient or student referrals?

• Can the teacher relate the full theory of the form and adequately answer any of your questions?

Remember, QiGong is a life discipline - long hard hours of practice and experience are essential to make it a career.
