The process begins by students practicing Internal Qigong with the care and guidance of their teacher, while receiving External Qigong Therapy when necessary or desired. In this phase, students learn to sense, feel, and direct their own energy, and at the same time, establish new patterns of health and vitality. Often times during this phase old physical, emotional, mental, energetic and spiritual patterns are brought up into consciousness where students are able to address, transform, and release them, thus creating space in their energetic matrix for new patterns to take root and unfold. It is by experiencing energetic transformation and healing first-hand that students become ready to help others undertake a similar journey.

In the second phase of training, students learn to direct energy for the benefit of others. This is accomplished through practicing specific Internal Qigong to further promote and refine their ability to perceive, lead, guide, store, and emit Qi. Students concurrently acquire knowledge and training in Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM) theory, including Five Element theory, the Organs, Meridians, Points, Twelve Terrestrial Branches, Chakras, energetic and physical anatomy, etc. Students integrate this knowledge with their developing energetic abilities.

In the third phase of training, students refine their Qi perception, assessment, and emission skills, while learning about specific disease processes and how to address them. Students learn subtle listening skills that enable them to notice and detect patterns of energetic dysfunction, while refining their ability to use TCM theory and their energetic skills to quickly and effectively address and correct the dysfunctions, restoring health and balance to their clients. Students also become proficient in teaching Qigong, and in prescribing Internal Qigong that will directly promote the healing of specific energetic dysfunctions.
