I took this course to incorporate the two [(Western and Eastern approaches)]. I see quite a bit of potential there. I want to continue with my Western medicine practice and to decrease the side effects and pain and empower patients to counteract /add to what they are receiving.
There are other healing approaches that nurses can learn but this one struck me as being much deeper and older, with centuries and centuries of trial and error already gone through. Most healing approaches only teach you how to do the healing work, they don’t teach you how to work on yourself to increase your capacity for energy flow. Plus this is very comprehensive, because I’ll be able to offer not only exercises, acupressure and energy work, but also recommendations about Chinese Healing Foods and other lifestyle changes.
I see this path; it’s been laid out for me.

There are two different types of people who will want to take the Instructor Workshop: one who wants to be an instructor, and the other an enthusiast who wants to learn more with the Master and make sure that they are doing the Forms properly to gain a deeper insight into the dynamics of energy and the techniques.
The Workshop includes a thorough grounding in the developmental history of Qi Gong, including the different schools and techniques, philosophy, Yin Yang theory, 5 Element theory, Meridian theory, Internal Organs, Extraordinary Vessels, and Muscle Regions. Two new Forms will also be taught—Golden Eight and 12 Sitting.
The review of the Forms is important. Master always emphasizes that it is imperative that the forms are done accurately. If they are not, then one cannot realize the immense benefits. To be an instructor, you need to be able to do all the forms correctly, understand and be able to teach theory, and how to teach and inspire others.
Requirements for participation in the Workshop include the following:
- Awakening Healing Energy Workshop
- Rejuvenation Workshop
- Free Form Workshop
Master Hong’s overall objective is to promote and develop complementary and integrative health practices through Qi Gong and other Natural Healing modalities to help people attain effective results on prevention, rehabilitation, and best East/West health practices. The objective of the certification program is to train and develop a core group of instructors and trainers to teach people the forms, practices and knowledge base of Master Hong programs—and see results.
The quality of instruction is inextricably tied to the results people will see. As such, the certification process is stringent. A candidate will have to pass a written and performance review to ensure their command of the forms, practice and knowledge will lead to tangible results for people, and complete an internship program before certification will be given.
Instructor Program Requirements:
- Awakening Healing Energy Workshop
- Rejuvenation Workshop
- Free Form Workshop
- Instructor Training Workshop

The workshop was amazing! Not only did you help us to review the Basic 8 [Beginning Qi Gong Workshop form], but I also enjoyed learning the ‘Golden Eight’ and the ‘12 Sitting forms.’ It is great to have additional forms to be able to help people with. I was happy that you outlined the three-thousand year history of Qi Gong and your review of Yin-Yang theory, Meridian theory, Five-Element theory, Internal Organ theory, and Muscle region theory, as well as how to teach others Qi Gong. My head is spinning with everything I need to review and practice. I want to thank you for the additional self-healing practices you taught us including how to overcome sleep, jet lag, and all the natural food recipes.
My goal is simple: I want to be a Qi Gong instructor. I want to help others with the tools that I have helped myself with. Teaching and being a force for positive change is the spirit of Qi Gong. I have seen what it has done for me and the other students, and I want to share it with others.
