Yi Ren(TM) Qigong is a new form developed by Dr. Guan-Cheng Sun, PhD, who is the founder and executive director of the Institute of Qigong & Integrative Medicine in Seattle.
Institute's Mission is: Provide exemplary education and training for the development of Qi-Mind-Body-Soul integration that will empower individuals in self-healing and fulfillment of their inherent potential.
Vision: Every individual will be supported in accessing their maximum potential in health and self-fulfillment to the level they desire through education, research and community.
Yi is the way of change. Ren is human. The system has its roots in two Qigong Schools from Northern China.
In the Yi Ren (TM) system there are four Guiding Principles:
Guiding Principle # 1:
Empower the Potential Life Force and the Healing Power Within
Guiding Principle # 2:
Improve Balance and Harmony Within and Without
Guiding Principle # 3:
Enhance the Strength and the Ability of the Body, not of Disease
Guiding Principle # 4:
Assist Individuals to Identify and Treat the Cause and Root of Their Health Condition
Starting with simple exercises, through steady practice of qigong exercises and breathing techniques, we learn how to give our bodies the gift of activating and stabilizing the bio-energy-information-system (BEIS).
The Institute of Qigong and Integrative Medicine (IQ&IM) also hosts "I HEAL Community" which has lots of events for everybody interested in exploring paths to improve and maintain health.
You'll find a lot more information on the IQ&IM website. Enjoy!
