Qigong Testimonials - Feel The Qi®

From Readers, Students and Video and DVD Viewers

I find Roger Jahnke's book The Healing Promise of Qi so beautifully written. The manner in which he writes, personifies meditation, relaxation and overall good health. I am inspired to learn more about Qigong as I continue to read his book. I have included his book at my website www.relaxmedia.biz as I feel many people can benefit. I like to include topics that help people live happier healthy lives. I look forward to learning more about Qigong and meeting the people who help to share the practice.

"I will never forget the Institute of Integral Qigong and Tai Chi teacher training at Omega Institute, if I live to be 150! So many terrific things and people. Let's spread the Qi to the mainstream."
-- Bernard Lorenz, Belcamp, MD, Omega Institute IIQTC Teacher Training 2005 Graduate

"It is the mark of a skillful teacher when a student can go home and practice on her own what she has been taught in such a few hours. Since I returned home, I have had a fine time beginning to incorporate our weekend's teachings and some material from both your books into my daily life. I find your second book, The Healing Promise of Qi, particularly delightful. It is a fine balance of diverse types of information, compellingly organized and attractively presented. A pleasure! I look forward to studying with you again."
-- Metta Winter, Ithaca, NY, Omega Institute, July 2005

"The best money I have ever spent!"

"Excellent seminar--I plan to use this information to teach my patients effective and simple Qigong."
-- Doctor of Chinese Medicine, AOMAlliance Annual Conference participant, May 2004

"I just finished The Healing Promise of Qi. It is wonderful! It took me several months to read it, and I feel as if I should begin to read it again right away. It took me so long to read because I stopped and learned and practiced the exercises.... I felt Qi-led to study it. The e-mail today from your assistant Rhonda is another example of the wonders of Qi. I was thinking last night, after I finished the book, about writing to thank Dr. Jahnke today. Now you have given me the opportunity. Thanks forbeing Qi-tuned. I want to let Dr. Jahnke know that from my humble perspective he is "right on" when he talks about the infinite possibilities if Qigong. I am glad to be among those who realize the value of this simple practice,not so much for personal peace, although it is wonderful, but for the opportunity to "see how well we will use these tools to consciously determine and pursue our preferred future." My preferred future is Peace, and I know it is established in every human Heart/Mind. The Qi will bring it into conscious Being. Peace to you, Dr. Jahnke and all the members of your group."

"I used your video program following a risky bowel surgery even though I could not stand or even sit up for several days. I could feel the internal healing benefits as I imagined doing the practices lying in the hospital bed. It seemed as if Qi was transmitting from the television screen."
-- China trip participant and resident of Charleston, VA, 1999

"I love this video. It is like having Dr. Jahnke as a practice buddy, right in my own home. The practices are so easy that I feel comfortable doing them in the park nearby."
-- M.L., Florida, 2000

"The Healer Within topped our bestsellers list for months following Dr. Jahnke's interviews."
-- Wisdom Television, 2001

-- The Store at Canyon Ranch Spa

"I purchased Dr. Jahnke's video program and a copy of The Healer Within for each of my 8 grandchildren. I am committed to doing my part to have my family be involved in solving America's health care system problems."
-- California Grandmother, age 79, 2002

"Roger demystifies complex material and encourages us to adapt and extend the practice. His lessons are easy to follow but not just simplistic...accessible, informal, inspiring and funny. He has a knack for simplifying complex concepts...across dynasties and decades of political transformation...into the powerful Qigong practices that are relevant today. I left with a buzz of bliss and the encouragement to continue the practice because it's such a powerful tool in preventative and longevity medicine.
--Thomas Wittenberg, Athens, GA, Omega Institute at Sueno Azul, Costa Rica, 2004

"This workshop was the perfect combination of spirituality and science. Nothing has made spirituality come alive for me quite as much as this session with Roger Jahnke. Roger has a great respect for the individual and was able to address difficult concepts and health issues well."
-- Participant, Esalen Institute, June 2003

"Roger Jahnke leads with candor, sense of humor, and humility, gradually unfolding the practices and concepts, with sensitive soul full explanations I can take back to the 'real world'."
--Claire Tallman, Santa Barbara, CA, Esalen Institute, June 2002

"Rarely do I go to a workshop that exceeds my expectations--often I am disappointed. I am glad to say this is the exception. I got what I wanted--something I can take home and use whenever and wherever I get the desire. I like the practices because they are simple and practical. Yours is perfect."
-- Richard Liss, Malibu, CA, Esalen Institute, June 2002

"Roger Jahnke is an authentic, sincere, and poetically humored leader, who gracefully transmitted many Qigong tools during our workshop at Esalen. Thank you!"
-- Deva Nirguna, Watsonville, CA, Esalen Institute, June 2002

"I have used the techniques from The Healer Within on and off for years. Recently my family and I moved overseas for my husband's work. It has been a difficult transition for me, and I found myself trying to get involved in various activities but not enjoying my life at all. I even wished I were dead at times! It was a terrible, scary time for me. I was praying for help, and it came to me "go back to The Healer Within" book and do the practices. I got up every morning and practiced for twenty minutes and within one week I felt like myself again! It saved my life. I am truly grateful for this information. It is inspired and priceless. I'm expecting a baby now (due any day). I know I'll be using the massage, relaxation and breathing techniques during labor. I've been trying to adapt the gentle movements for my changing body. Thank you from the bottom of my heart!"
-- Jennifer H., Living in Italy, 2003

"I wanted to let you know that I am loving Qigong, thanks to your very excellent teaching and permission to just do it! Also, I am excited to let you know that I decided to facilitate a Qigong group!In the fall, I shared what I had been practicing with a few women friends at a weekend by the shore. Later in the fall at a Unitarian retreat, I offered to share some Qigong with the group I was with--about 15 people. So, I decided to offer a free class, letting people know that I am learning and practicing and am willing to share from that place. It's at the Unitarian Universalist Congregation where I am a member, so I have the use of our very lovely sanctuary! At 12:30 p.m. every Monday (my day off) 10 to 12 people show up for Qigong! As a Trager practitioner and workshop leader, I have taught the gentle Mentastic movements of that practice. Facilitating the Qigong just seems natural and, of course, I am learning more by doing it in this way! I've also been suggesting your books as a resource--they are the best! Thank you again for your encouragement and excellent manner of teaching."
