About Mantak Chia
Grandmaster Mantak Chia is the world’s foremost Taoist Master. He is the only Qigong Master who received The Qigong Master of the Year Award twice. He is the author of 60 books and has 49 years of teaching experience —online and onsite.
The classes with Mantak Chia are unique, thanks to his ability to transmit energy to his students, online or in the classroom. Many students practicing with Master Chia not only witness the wisdom of primordial violet light during his Energy Transmissions but also begin their initial healing processes.
About the Workshops
Mantak Chia is one of the few Qigong Masters who teaches the non westernized Inner Alchemy of Qigong. During Weeks 1-2 he will guide you through the Taoist secrets of inner workings for the highest benefit of your Qigong training.
Inner alchemy aims to promote the circulation of Qi (Life force) throughout the body and use this Qi for healing purposes. It is much more challenging than physical practice and can be much more intensive. The transformation begins with the simple process of transforming the negative emotional energies in the vital organs into the positive qualities.Â
Start your transformation with Inner Alchemy Qigong: a dynamic mix of moving qigong, standing qigong, breath work, meditation and energy cultivation practices. In Mantak Chia’s own words “This is the essence of qigong”.
!!!NEW Workshops: Join Weeks 3-4 to learn the most important Taoist practices to calm down, balance and stabilize your nervous system with natural methods. These new in-depth Workshops are designed to promote holistic healing from inside through balancing your inner energies with the Universe.

Program
Week 1. November 10 - 13 IA Qigong Level I
November 10-12: workshops with Grandmaster Mantak Chia 4 Qigong forms: Craniosacral, 5 Element, Wisdom and Stem Cell qigong
November 13: Review class with instructor
Craniosacral Qigong form integrates physical energy and emotion in the cosmic flow. It offers simple, powerful self-care practices by focusing on the cranial and sacral pumps and the flow of cerebrospinal fluid.
The 5 Element Qigong form involves an extensive range of movement and breathwork that activates all of the internal organs and soft tissue related to the 5 Elements. Opening the joints, relaxing the muscles, releasing tension and strain that build up from everyday living.
With Wisdom Qigong, you will use Taoist techniques to double or triple your mind power and gain vitality in your body and organs. One of the techniques is to connect with your abdominal brain to reduce energy loss.
With Stem Cell Qigong you will discover how to strengthen your immune system. By gently using a hitting technique to the body and organs, the old, sick and damaged cells will be broken down and then completely repaired by your stem cells.
In the workshops of this week you’ll learn to:
- Increase flexibility of your spine and flow of spinal fluid
- Optimize your nervous system and the body’s energetic flow
- Transform excess brain activity to revitalize the organs
- Strengthen your immune system with self care practices
- Activate all of the internal organs and meridians ~ integrating the 5 elements within
Week 2. November 17 - 21 IA Qigong Level II
November 17-20: workshops with Grandmaster Mantak Chia 4 Qigong forms: Tan Tien Qigong, Tao Yin, Buddha Palm, Golden Elixir Qigong.
November 21: Review class with instructor
With Tan Tien Qigong you will learn the power of your Tan Tien - the center of activation and balancing of primal energies. The Tan Tien is a container of Qi and deserves adequate attention for its essential role in our energy management. You’ll learn the 11 animal postures and the Tiger and Dragon Breath to center and refine your energies and emotions.
Tao Yin is a type of Taoist yoga that stimulates the flow of Qi in the meridians - the energy pathways of the body. It coordinates the breath, awareness and mind-eye-heart power with exercises of the spine to leave you feeling more relaxed and revitalized.
Buddha Palm (Cosmic Healing Qigong) is a healing form. It trains the practitioner in moving and channeling Qi. As you learn this form, you’ll feel Qi coming into your body and hands and be able to project Qi with your fingers.
The Golden Elixir Qigong uses the energies of the hair, sense organs and saliva to strengthen the physical body. Golden elixir is the mixture of saliva, other hormonal fluids and external essences. This elixir is a major transformer for higher spiritual work and has the power to heal oneself. The practice involves breathwork, swallowing saliva and techniques of internal power using the fingers and palms (Five Finger Kung Fu).
In the workshops of this week you’ll learn to:
- Connect with your abdomen as your first brain, enhancing its ability to store energy
- Take in Universal Qi and emit Qi from your body to help others
- Develop elasticity of tendons, ligaments and associated muscles - resulting in improved flexibility and power in your movement patterns
- Absorb the essence of Nature elixir, Cosmic elixir and Universal Elixir
Week 3. November 25-27 Emotional Wisdom
November 28: Review class with instructor
!!!NEW Workshop: Fundamentals of Taoist Inner Alchemy to balance emotions, get rid of stress, anxiety and worry. You will learn profound Taoist meditation of 6 Healing sounds, The Inner smile and other Taoist exercises to get rid of nervous tensions and blockages.
Inner Smile and the Six Healing Sounds are very important practices to make the connections between the organs, the colors and the good virtuous energies associated with each organ. These foundational practices will bring you back to your body wisdom and awaken your Qi/life-force energy.
Inner Smile originates from self-love towards our own body. You will learn to use the power of smiling to activate the relaxation response in the parasympathetic nervous system. Get rid of the negative emotion and rebalance the positive emotion.
Six Healing Sounds practice is a Powerful Healing Exercise. It has a special sound for each of the organs, the special healing color, positive emotion and special position for each sound—these will help you to restore good health and will help with the connection to the primordial force.
16 hours towards Instructor Certification
Week 4. December 1 - 4. Energy meditation workshop
December 5: Review class with instructor
!!!NEW Workshop. This Workshop is designed to help you to activate your Energy Channel and open your Microcosmic orbit (MCO). It’s the first Workshop with step-by-step guidance on opening Microcosmic orbit with Energy Transmission.
The microcosmic orbit meditation is the most essential Tao practice, it is the energy highway of your body. By circulating Qi in this simple orbit, you are generating energy to be stored in the navel. The body knows which organs need extra energy. The organs, glands, and blood automatically receive this energy when circulating the warm current. Many other practices are dependent upon your ability to perfect the Microcosmic Orbit.
