Weekly Sessions Wednesdays at Noon Pacific
This course will feature LIVE teachings, interactive knowledge sessions, and experiential practices with Dr. Jahnke.
Roger Jahnke – Deeper Dimensions of Medical Qigong
Each session will build harmoniously upon the previous ones, so you’ll develop a complete holistic understanding of the practices, tools, and principles you’ll need to sustain your body, heart, mind, and spirit — and access your inherent gifts.
Module 1: Discovering the Radical Power of the Medicine Within — The Ultimate Elixir
In this opening week, Dr. Jahnke will guide you to become fully grounded in the components of your inner healing capacity.
You’ll also review the powerful Three Treasures — the theoretical foundation of traditional Chinese medicine that represents body, mind, and spirit — as well as Heaven (Yang), Earth (Yin), and Life (the merging of Yin and Yang).
You’ll continue to explore how incredibly simple it can be to activate your own inner elixir, the medicine within, anytime and anywhere…
In this session, you’ll explore:
How Qigong addresses ALL dysfunctions of the mind, body, and spirit
Why the idea that different diseases need different practices is actually a myth
What it really means to assemble your very own Medical Qigong practice
How you can best utilize the practices in the Medical Qigong library you’ll receive as part of this course
The inner work you’ll need to do so you can deeply believe you have the capacity to heal yourself (it might surprise you!)
Dr. Jahnke’s 3-step Medical Qigong method
Module 2: Unlocking the Promise of Healing, Sustainable Wellbeing & Vitality
Without even realizing it, many of us are operating from the assumption that true power must be out of our reach. This week, Dr. Jahnke will explain why this is just not true…
As you’ll discover, when you truly decide to let something be easy, magical unexpected outcomes are well within your reach.
In this session, you’ll discover:
How to establish an intention that’s aligned with your deepest sense of purpose
The keys that activate unexpected healing — time, focus, and intention
The extraordinary power of integrating the 4 dimensions of Qigong
The gateway to revealing your own vitality and healing
A powerful practice to tap into your essential nature
Module 3: Incorporating Movement & Breath — The Engine of Qi & Function
How exactly do the body and breath dimensions of Qigong awaken and activate the medicine within you? This week, you’ll explore the answer as you uncover what Dr. Jahnke calls the big promise of Qigong.
Once you’re fully grounded in your Medical Qigong principles, you can simply engage in the practice that comes to mind, in any location — and turn on profound inherent healing mechanisms right away.
In this session, you’ll discover:
How your breath and body practices enhance each other to activate and refine the Qi — and support the functioning of both the body and mind
The engines within you right now that activate Qi
How the 4 dimensions of Qigong each play an important role in your healing
A practice to help you access the engine of Qi whenever you need to
Module 4: Exploring the Supreme Aspect of Self — The Mind & Consciousness
Self-awareness, mindfulness, and meditation are the supreme aspects of Qigong…
In this session, Dr. Jahnke will guide you to understand why the secret of truly actualizing your practice is understanding your mind — not intellectually, but experientially.
Your mind and consciousness, including the emotions and traumas of your past, can become the gateway for developing and sustaining your practice.
While your body and breath are the machines of Qigong’s power, your mind is used to leverage the very core of Qigong’s amazing potential — coherence and integration of The Three Treasures of spirit, mind, and body.
In this session, you’ll discover:
Why you need to believe in the depths of your mind that you have time to take care of yourself
Why it’s technically not even Qigong if you’re practicing while worrying
How your focus can be affected by the common limiting belief that you’ll never be able to learn enough
The preconceptions about Qigong you might be holding onto without realizing it
The ways your mind can talk you out of your Qigong practice
Module 5: Cultivating a Truly Life-Transforming Practice
It’s deceptively easy to think that merely liking a new idea has some sort of magical power. While getting onboard with a new idea is certainly exciting, on its own it can’t make a lasting change in your life…
This week, Dr. Jahnke will share the many ways that tapping into the big promise of Qigong is directly associated with developing and sustaining YOUR practice.
Whether you’re ready to move past an addiction, heal from illness, become more creative, relax, or something else entirely, Medical Qigong can only bring radiant health into your life if you develop a practice.
In this session, you’ll discover:
Why your practice is the gateway to the possibility of getting everything you want
How developing your practice can help you express yourself more creatively
How bringing a practice into your life can be a confronting, uncomfortable process at times
How to leverage the promise of true healing by exploring fun, music, and nature in your practice
Dr. Jahnke’s practical advice about where to practice
Module 6: Directing Qi Throughout Your Body With Self-Applied Massage
According to Dr. Jahnke, self-massage is the simple-yet-accessible power factor in Medical Qigong. This week you’ll discover, or perhaps rediscover, how self-massage is the key to distributing the Qi — the medicine within — to the parts of you that need it most.
You’ll learn how self-applied massage fits into the four dimensions of Medical Qigong — and understand how it can multiply the benefits of your Qigong practice.
In this session, you’ll explore:
How self-applied massage can transform any Qigong practice into Medical Qigong
The surprising reasons the parts of you that most need healing are least likely to receive the benefits of Qigong — and how you can ensure they DO receive your inner healing resources through massage
How to use movement, breath, and meditation to turn on the medicine within — and how self-massage can then deliver the medicine
A guided practice to introduce you to the power of self-applied massage as part of the 4 dimensions of Medical Qigong
Module 7: Actualizing Your Intention – Your Circle of Life
What if you had a holistic life plan in place to make sure you actualize your Medical Qigong practice so it becomes part of your life? With Dr. Jahnke’s guidance, you’ll create this life plan in class this week.
Along with the usual encouragement and support for Qigong, Dr. Jahnke will introduce you to The Circle of Life, a system he developed with his colleague Rebecca McLean to help coaching clients fulfill their deepest intentions and goals.
As you’ll soon discover, when The Circle of Life is used in groups that are collaborating on a shared ideal, it can result in transformational empowerment.

Module 9: Exploring ‘Qi Deficiency’ — Inflammation & Oxidation
Did you know that Western Science and Asian Wisdom actually point to ONE cause for disease?
This week, you’ll discover how the West’s terms inflammation and oxidative stress are equivalent to the principles of Qi deficiency and Qi stagnation in Traditional Chinese Medicine… and explore practices to activate your inner healer.
