Tai Chia simple yet profound method of achieving wellness of the
body and mind." "Qi, the energy that
sustains all life, holds the key to health and longevity. The Healing
Promise of Qi shows you how to access this potent force. And thats
very good news, indeed." "The Healing Promise
of Qi has the power to change your life. Dr. Jahnke not only practices
oriental medicine, he lives it authentically. His teaching is pure and
potent, combining mind and heart to give you the practical skills you
need to be your best self. This book is a gem that you will treasure

of Qigong is masterfully revealed in this book. Whether you are new
to Qigong or a seasoned practitioner, Jahnkes insights will add
new understanding and depth to your practice." "A timely book of gentle
persuasion and clear understanding, with easy-to-follow instructions

health and well-being." Praise for The Healer Within by Roger Jahnke "The wisdom in this
book will lead you not just to better health but to greater serenity

gem of a workbook brings ancient Eastern modalities into our hectic
Western lives. Both inspirational
and immensely practical...The kind of book you will keep close at hand,
make notes in, and actually use. -- Body, Mind & Spirit Praise from Students of Roger Jahnke "It is the mark of a
skillful teacher when a student can go home and practice on her own
what she has been taught in such a few hours. Since I returned home,
I have had a fine time beginning to incorporate our weekend's teachings
and some material from both your books into my daily life. I find your
second book, The Healing Promise of Qi, particularly delightful.
It is a fine balance of diverse types of information, compellingly organized
and attractively presented. A pleasure! I look forward to studying with
you again." "The best money I have
ever spent!" "Excellent seminar--I
plan to use this information to teach my patients effective and simple
Qigong." "I just finished The
Healing Promise of Qi. It is wonderful! It took me several months
to read it, and I feel as if I should begin to read it again right away.
It took me so long to read because I stopped and learned and practiced
the exercises.... I felt Qi-led to study it. The e-mail today from your
assistant Rhonda is another example of the wonders of Qi. I was thinking
last night, after I finished the book, about writing to thank Dr. Jahnke
today. Now you have given me the opportunity. Thanks forbeing Qi-tuned.
I want to let Dr. Jahnke know that from my humble perspective he is
"right on" when he talks about the infinite possibilities
if Qigong. I am glad to be among those who realize the value of this
simple practice,not so much for personal peace, although it is wonderful,
but for the opportunity to "see how well we will use these tools
to consciously determine and pursue our preferred future." My preferred
future is Peace, and I know it is established in every human Heart/Mind.
The Qi will bring it into conscious Being. Peace to you, Dr. Jahnke
and all the members of your group." "I used your video program
following a risky bowel surgery even though I could not stand or even
sit up for several days. I could feel the internal healing benefits
as I imagined doing the practices lying in the hospital bed. It seemed
as if Qi was transmitting from the television screen." "I love this video.
It is like having Dr. Jahnke as a practice buddy, right in my own home.
The practices are so easy that I feel comfortable doing them in the
park nearby." "The Healer Within topped
our bestsellers list for months following Dr. Jahnke's interviews." "We find Dr. Jahnke's
video to be among the best and most popular of the learning programs
for Qigong and vitality cultivation." "I purchased Dr. Jahnke's
video program and a copy of The Healer Within for each of my 8 grandchildren.
I am committed to doing my part to have my family be involved in solving
America's health care system problems." "Roger demystifies complex
material and encourages us to adapt and extend the practice. His lessons
are easy to follow but not just simplistic...accessible, informal, inspiring
and funny. He has a knack for simplifying complex concepts...across
dynasties and decades of political transformation...into the powerful
Qigong practices that are relevant today. I left with a buzz of bliss
and the encouragement to continue the practice because it's such a powerful
tool in preventative and longevity medicine. "This workshop was the
perfect combination of spirituality and science. Nothing has made spirituality
come alive for me quite as much as this session with Roger Jahnke. Roger
has a great respect for the individual and was able to address difficult
concepts and health issues well." "Qigong content and
instruction in Roger Jahnke's workshop and video learning programs were
outstanding in every respect and presented with joy and humor." " I would like to thank
you for sharing your knowledge and energy with the world. I think your
are doing great work in educating and teaching others of the healing
benefits of "Chi" (cosmic energy). Thank you." "Roger Jahnke leads with
candor, sense of humor, and humility, gradually unfolding the practices
and concepts, with sensitive soul full explanations I can take back to
the 'real world'." "Rarely do I go to a workshop
that exceeds my expectations--often I am disappointed. I am glad to say
this is the exception. I got what I wanted--something I can take home
and use whenever and wherever I get the desire. I like the practices because
they are simple and practical. Yours is perfect." "Roger Jahnke is an authentic,
sincere, and poetically humored leader, who gracefully transmitted many
Qigong tools during our workshop at Esalen. Thank you!" "I have used the techniques
from The Healer Within on and off for years. Recently my family
and I moved overseas for my husband's work. It has been a difficult transition
for me, and I found myself trying to get involved in various activities
but not enjoying my life at all. I even wished I were dead at times! It
was a terrible, scary time for me. I was praying for help, and it came
to me "go back to The Healer Within" book and
do the practices. I got up every morning and practiced for twenty minutes
and within one week I felt like myself again! It saved my life. I am truly
grateful for this information. It is inspired and priceless. I'm expecting
a baby now (due any day). I know I'll be using the massage, relaxation
and breathing techniques during labor. I've been trying to adapt the gentle
movements for my changing body. Thank you from the bottom of my heart!" "I wanted to let you know
that I am loving Qigong, thanks to your very excellent teaching and permission
to just do it! Also, I am excited to let you know that I decided to facilitate
a Qigong group!In the fall, I shared what I had been practicing with a
few women friends at a weekend by the shore. Later in the fall at a Unitarian
retreat, I offered to share some Qigong with the group I was with--about
15 people. So, I decided to offer a free class, letting people know that
I am learning and practicing and am willing to share from that place.
It's at the Unitarian Universalist Congregation where I am a member, so
I have the use of our very lovely sanctuary! At 12:30 p.m. every Monday
(my day off) 10 to 12 people show up for Qigong! As a Trager practitioner
and workshop leader, I have taught the gentle Mentastic movements of that
practice. Facilitating the Qigong just seems natural and, of course, I
am learning more by doing it in this way! I've also been suggesting your
books as a resource--they are the best! Thank you again for your encouragement
and excellent manner of teaching."
