If you buy the first method, Tian Yuan, you will have three different and downloadable audios:

• Audio No.01 Tian Yuan (22 minutes)
• Audio No.09 Tian Yuan without music (39 minutes)
• Audio No.10 Tian Yuan with music (39 minutes)

The individual teacher session is intended to further support your learning of Yuan Qigong and Ren Xue. The Zoom session lasts one hour, and you have 60 days from your registration date to sign up for it. You may want to schedule your session right away, or you can wait until you have digested the course materials and have specific questions. The focus for the session is up to you; it could be about the method, about Ren Xue and Yuan Qigong, or about Qi and how Qigong helps to enhance the wellbeing of the body, Qi, mind and heart.

The sessions also serve as an introduction to teachers. After the session you are welcome to continue learning from the teacher directly in one-on-one sessions or through their classes.

The Yuan Qigong courses we offer are all online. This means that when you register, you will have a personal Yuan Qigong course Library which can be accessed by logging into your account through the RXA website.  The courses in your library will include videos, practice audios and written instructions. The videos and audios can be streamed from your web browser, or you can download them onto your computer.

A wonderful feature of the Yuan Qigong system is its flexibility. There are many ways to modify and adapt each method to your individual needs. Most methods can be practiced sitting down if standing is not an option for you, and some can be practiced lying down. For more information on specific modifications, it may be useful to contact and speak with a certified Yuan Qigong teacher. The teacher directory is accessible through the Community section at the top of this website.

Absolutely. You may only have 5 or 10 minutes to practice a method during a busy day, and it is definitely still beneficial to do a shorter practice rather than none at all. Once you have learned the method(s) well and feel more comfortable with the preparation (body/mind) process, you may decide to do a short practice by yourself without the usual audio support. Some days you may have a few hours to practice. In this case, exploring each method further and combining various methods would be a wonderful way to discover and develop your potential. Give yourself confidence to explore Yuan Qigong, be creative, and make the most out of it!                

The Yuan Qigong system was created as a pyramid with 3 stages. Starting at the bottom with the external transformation stage (this includes the first 3 methods), then the internal transformation stage (includes the next 3 methods), and finally the Xin (Heart) and Shen (True Nature) transformation stage (includes the last 3 methods). Considering this pyramid, it may make sense to follow the order, although strict adherence to it may not be suitable for everyone. It is important to be flexible in your learning and let yourself explore various methods if you feel particularly called to them. Each method is essential for development and growth on all levels of life. Feel free to contact a certified Yuan Qigong teacher for more information on this topic. The teacher directory is accessible through the Community section at the top of this website.

Each Yuan Qigong method can be practiced independently. However, the first and second methods are often practiced together. The first method helps to gather Qi into the body and restore energy, while improving health. It can also facilitate a deeper connection to nature and life. The second method is a standing form that calms the mind, settles the Qi and strengthens the body. Together they gather Qi and store Qi into the Dantians (Qi centers in the body).

Once you have familiarity with more than one method, you can decide each day which method suits your needs. If you're feeling depleted and need more energy, the first method is helpful. If your body needs to move and stretch, the third method is helpful. If you want to settle the mind and feel more stability, the second method could be practiced daily. Or you can simply stick with one method and go deeper into the experience over time. Yuan Qigong is a very versatile set of Qigong practices. There is no wrong or right way to approach it.

The last three methods, which focus on the heart and mind, help to integrate practice into every moment in life. By integrating Ren Xue’s teachings into how we relate to ourselves, other people and the world, we begin to make changes at the root level. This is part of what makes Yuan Qigong unique and it becomes an adventure that can bring beneficial and long lasting change to life.

Welcome to Yuan Qigong. It is wonderful that you are interested in this practice. There are many ways to start learning Yuan Qigong and to become a part of Ren Xue.
