Qigong and Tai Chi Heritage and Lineage of Roger Jahnke OMD

Foundations upon which Roger Jahnke, OMD bases his personal practice, teaching, writing, and Institute of Integral Qigong and Tai Chi trainings are ancient philosophies of China, Traditional Chinese Medicine, and original Chinese Daoist, and Buddhist classics from later centuries.

Specifically, three streams represent the primary influences:

• The Celestial Masters School, sometimes called the Heavenly Teachers, through Chiang Yi Hsiang and the Tai Hsuan (Great Mystery) School and its roots in Dragon Tiger Mountain (Long Hu Shan) in China.

• The medical and spiritual tradition of Tian Tai Shan, a renowned center for both Daoist and Buddhist traditions, through Dr. Zhu Hui.

• The health, longevity and martial tradition of the Leaping Butterfly Master (Chang Tung Sheng) and his eloquent interpretation of traditional Tai Chi through Chi-Hsiu (Daniel) Weng, Ph.D.
