For the past 20 years, Dr. Aung has taught Medical Qi Gong through workshops at various international, national & local conferences. He consistently offers comprehensive annual Qi Gong weekend workshops in Edmonton, Calgary, and in British Columbia. Descriptions of various workshop levels are listed below. Workshops typically involve a full 2-day (Sat & Sun) weekend.

Level 1

In this introductory Medical Qi Gong workshop, participants become aware of the circulation of Qi (vital energy) throughout their whole being (body, mind and spirit). They also learn to engage, enhance and harmonize their Qi flow. The focus is on the fundamental building blocks of medical Qi Gong, namely, breathing, concentration and posture/movement exercises.

The next Aung Medical Qi Gong introductory workshop will be held in July 2020. For the weekend of July 16-19, 2020, an introductory Qi Gong workshop will be held in Hollyhock on Cortes Island, B.C. (For registration or further details regarding the workshop, please click on the following link.) 

Level 2

This level provides participants with the opportunity to learn advanced techniques of Medical Qi Gong. They learn to breathe through one nostril at a time to help precisely control the flow of Qi within the body. They also learn to use their own natural sounds to harmonize Qi circulation and give internal organs a very pleasant and healthy "tune up."

Additional valuable concentration and posture/movement exercises are presented.

Prerequisite: Aung Medical Qi Gong Level 1 (or other Qi Gong workshops taught by Dr. Aung).

Level 3

This workshop provides more advanced techniques of medical Qi Gong. Participants learn more advanced sound and colour visualization techniques, and are given the opportunity to express their feelings and harmonize Qi flow through the flow of the brush in Chinese painting and calligraphy. Additional valuable concentration and posture/movement exercises are presented.

Level 4

This workshop is still in the planning stages. It is anticipated to feature more advanced breathing, concentration and posture/movement exercises as well as more advanced sound, visualization and calligraphic techniques. The focus will be on purifying one's Qi and more fully awakening one's consciousness and sense of compassion on the path to greater awareness and ultimately, enlightenment.

By Dr. Aung

The idea of establishing a College of Medical Qi Gong has always been a part of my dream of establishing an integrated Eastern and Western, multidisciplinary centre where various levels and styles of Qi Gong are taught. Such a centre would be a place for people to gather together to learn, share and cooperate with one another within the context of promoting the many benefits of Qi Gong.

Qi Gong is extremely important in our daily lives, regardless of occupation, age, nationality, or level of formal education. It is the essential core of all learning, and it forms the substantial framework of all our creative energy, health and personal empowerment.

Qi is like two large overlapping circles - operating in a state of perpetual motion. The circles in the logo represent the constant rhythmic, cyclic movement and transformation of Qi (the vital energy which animates our universe of all sentient beings). The vital energy of Qi constantly strives towards harmony and equilibrium in growth and development. The top circle represents heaven, or the cosmos, while the bottom circle symbolizes earth. The bottom circle is dark in colour, indicating impure energy. The top cycle is white, indicating that some purification has been attained. The numerous radiating waves of energy as well as the two small, non-aligned circles within the large circles suggest uncertainty and imbalance.

The small central circle (the Chinese Yin/Yang sign) represents the situation of human beings constantly influenced by these encompassing natural environments which generate the flow of Qi throughout the meridian / organ system of the body.

The Yin/Yang sign is enclosed in the shape of the human eye, which implies that our Third Eye [Ajna Chakra] is open, receptive and fully awakened. This means that we are fully prepared to encounter our own true, compassionate and sacred self, which is the central objective of Qi Gong. The Third Eye is the primary site of adjusting and realigning or mind, body and spirit in natural intuitive harmony and creativity.

The logo reminds us to constantly practice Qi Gong mind, body and spirit exercises to clear ourselves of impurity and remove stagnant, blocked energy. This may eventually result in a state of complete relaxation, rejuvenation, regeneration and revitalization. This is a definite step toward enlightenment.
