Cultivating Heart Qualities

If you buy the seventh method, Tong Yuan, you will have three different and downloadable audios:

• Audio No.21 Tong Yuan First Stage (2h 17 minutes)
• Audio No.22 Tong Yuan Second Stage (2h 10 minutes)
• Audio No.23 Tong Yuan Third Stage (2h 18 minutes)

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.
