Yuan Qigong Online Course: Ling Yuan - Changing Patterns

Would you like to change your life? Perhaps you have practiced other Yuan Qigong methods and you have found that after practice, you feel different – calmer, more serene. You may also feel better equipped to deal with challenging situations in your life, without the usual stress and tension they bring. Quite often though, that state of calmness can be fairly short-lived. Why is that? 

The main source from which our behavior and reactions come from are the patterns of consciousness. They are involved in everything we do, all of the time, in various forms. They determine how we perceive any situation and how we will respond to it even before we consciously react. For example, once we learned how to drive a car, we are able to drive without consciously commanding our every move. In the same way, our minds have learned how to react and behave in most situations due in part to their repetition. We are no longer fully conscious of these mechanisms, but they are driving our car - and most of our lives! 

Changing Patterns (Ling Yuan) is a method designed to help us achieve a deeper, more permanent change in our lives by addressing the unhealthy, deep-rooted patterns of the consciousness.

In the first three sessions of the course, you will learn to identify and recognise the common unhealthy patterns that most humans have developed. You will learn to find replacement patterns that help in the process of gently moving an unhealthy pattern towards a more positive, constructive one. The last session is a practice of Ling Yuan itself; a still, guided, introspective meditation. 

THIS COURSES INCLUDES:

  • 30 min total video clips of guidance and teachings
  • 40 min Practice of Ling Yuan (downloadable)
  • Detailed explanations of the 10 fundamental patterns and their replacements
  • Written preparation and detailed instructions for the practice and mind activity
  • Lifetime access to course materials
  • Add an optional one-hour individual session with a teacher

FAQs
If you have any unanswered questions, please reach out to our course registrar Tracey, at tracey@renxueamericas.org
What if I already purchased one course and want to get the full set?
The set is offered at a discounted bundle price compared to purchasing the courses individually. Unfortunately, this discount only applies when buying the complete set in a single purchase. If you've already purchased an individual course, you would need to purchase any remaining courses at their regular price.
Note: There is no additional material in buying the full set versus buying the methods separately.
What audios are included?

If you buy the eighth method, Ling Yuan, you will have one downloadable audio:

  • Practice of Ling Yuan (40 minutes)
What does the individual teacher session option mean?

The one-hour Zoom session is intended to support your learning of Yuan Qigong and Ren Xue. The focus for the session is up to you - it could be about the method, about Ren Xue and Yuan Qigong, or about understanding Qi and how Qigong helps to enhance the wellbeing of the body, Qi, mind and heart. Wherever you feel you could use some guidance: :

  • Support for your Yuan Qigong learning
  • Discussion of Ren Xue principles
  • Guidance on specific methods
  • Questions about Qi and wellbeing

Sessions must be scheduled within 60 days of registration. After your introductory session, if you choose to continue working with the teacher through classes or one-on-one sessions, arrangements can be made independently, between the two of you.

If I'm taking a class from a Ren Xue teacher to learn this method, do I need this course?

Yes we strongly encourage complementing your ‘live’ class with the online course. These materials greatly enhance your learning and can help you to establish a regular practice:

  • Videos help reinforce proper postures between classes
  • Audio guides support your home practice
  • Having both teacher guidance and course materials provides the best learning experience
  • Once muscle memory develops, you can practice with just the audio guides
  • Learning from a teacher provides valuable benefits including:
    • Precise posture adjustments
    • Direct guidance on mind activity and questions
    • Connection with the Ren Xue community
    • Support for your learning journey

Whether you're learning via online or in-person classes, having the course materials allows you to deepen your practice at your own pace and maintain consistency between sessions with your teacher.



How are the courses accessed after purchase?

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.

Can I practice the moving methods sitting or lying down due to health issues?

Yuan Qigong is highly adaptable to individual needs:

  • Most methods can be practiced sitting down
  • Some methods can be practiced lying down
  • Certified Yuan Qigong teachers can provide specific modifications

Contact a teacher through our Community section for personalized guidance.



Can I make my practices shorter or longer depending on the time I have?

Yes! Practice duration is flexible:

  • Short 5-10 minute sessions are beneficial
  • It's better to do a shorter practice than none at all
  • Once familiar with the method(s) and preparation process, you can practice without audio support
  • Longer sessions can explore and combine various methods

Be creative and adapt the practice to your schedule while maintaining the core principles.



Do I need to learn the methods in order or can I choose to learn more advanced methods first?

The Yuan Qigong system follows a three-stage pyramid:

  1. External transformation (first 3 methods)
  2. Internal transformation (next 3 methods)
  3. Xin (Heart) and Shen (True Nature) transformation (last 3 methods)

While following this order is recommended, flexibility is important. Follow your intuition and needs, and consult certified teachers for guidance.

  3. Log in with your email and password
  4. If needed, reset your password

Once all 9 methods have been mastered, how do they work together?

Each method serves unique purposes while complementing others:

  • Methods 1 & 2 pair very well for gathering and storing Qi
  • Choose methods based on daily needs:
    • Method 1 to restore energy, improve health, and deepen connection to nature and life
    • Method 2 for mental stability and calm - settles the Qi and strengthens the body
    • Method 3 for physical movement, building strength and flexibility
  • The final three methods focus on the heart and mind and help integrate practice into every moment
  • Focus on one method or combine them based on your needs
  • Or 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.
