The Inner Radiance Qigong Seminar is not just another weekend seminar or another Qigong set. As the name implies this seminar will awaken or revive a deep connection - a sense of UNITY within yourself. This connection is something that you had as a child but lost somewhere along the way. Let this weekend rekindle your inner radiance.

Inner Radiance Qigong is a set of eight easy-to-learn exercises that can be used to increase your energy and vitality, allowing practitioners to sense and build their Inner Radiance.  With continued practice this unique set opens and strengthens the deep muscles of the body, creating overall physical integration and Qi flow, increasing the sense of ease and comfort in your body and with your life.

Beginners and seasoned Qigong practitioners alike will enjoy this set that was developed by Dr. Bernard Shannon, D.M.Q. (China)

"[Inner Radiance] is a complete system of qigong. I am very excited about it because it is the most complete system I have seen in 39 years of exploration. It is a brilliant fit of different exercises that [Dr. Shannon] has gathered, blended and invented during decades of his own study here and in China.

I really like the way the exercises fit together.

I like the fact that Dr. Shannon has used the principles of martial, medical and spiritual qigong to create a system that can be adapted to meet the needs of almost anyone.

It can be taught 'lightly' to newcomers and the general public at spas, senior centers, etc; it can be taught in depth to senior practitioners.

Because it uses the "purging/cleansing--tonifying/strengthening--regulating/balancing" principles of medical qigong, it is safe for anyone. It is adaptable to any level of physical challenge... It can be used at different levels of manifestation: physical, emotional, mental and spiritual."

"I've been exposed to a lot of Qigong schools and the IIMQ is the only one I choose to take classes from. [Why?]  Because it is complete.  It is the most true to the classics of Chinese Medicine.  It resonates with my soul.  I 'remember' a lot of these things."

The Agave Nectar-High Fructose Corn Syrup Debate-Part 1

  • McCormick & Co., a major food manufacturer, placed agave syrup in its “top 10 flavors” list for 2009.
