Yi Ren® Qigong
“Yi Ren® Qigong (YRQ) is the practice of cultivating the inherent potential and well-being through a growing awareness of “Qi”-a bioenergy-information system (BEIS) within us, as well as surrounding us.”
Foundational Levels of Yi Ren® Qigong
Dr. Sun created a simple, elegant, & effective system of Qigong practice called Yi Ren® Qigong. Using the framework of Chinese medicine, Yi Ren® Qigong provides a detailed map for exploration into ones internal world, including information about ones health, and who they truly are. The Yi Ren® Qigong system starts with 3 foundational levels that explore many aspects of qigong and the Chinese medicine meridian network. The 3 levels are as follows (Brief Description Below):
Internal Activation
Energizing the Zang-Fu
Energizing the Extraordinary Meridians

Qigong: Internal Activation
Where beginners start and advanced practitioners return. In Yi Ren Qigong: Internal Activation, we stimulate and activate the Qi. By doing this practice we find new ways to take care of ourselves and take our health into our own hands to a much greater degree. We learn about the body, and begin to learn to harness and channel the energy that is within and around us in hopes of achieving better emotional and energetic balance; having tapped into the life force/Qi, we thereby feel a positive sense of well-being.
