What a gift we have in the energy based mind‐body practices of
Qigong/Tai Chi (Qi) and Yoga (Prana). And the most thrilling this is
that becoming “prone” to miracles is very accessible with mind‐body
practice that activates the physiology at the same time as cultivating
right mindedness in the psychology.
An Extraordinary Turning Point 不平凡的转折点
We are spot on ‐‐ at an extraordinary turning point in human devel‐
opment. Science has begun to honestly explore mysterious concepts
that only recently were considered unscientific – in addition to pla‐
cebo, remission and miracles there is emerging science on the en‐
ergy body, turning back the cellular clock, the illusion of time, etc.
Shining the light of science on the placebo, spontaneous remission and miracles has demonstrated that the mys‐
terious can be verified even if it is not understood. It is exciting to know that the placebo is taking on a more
positive definition, that one‐fifth of the cases in 8,000 medical articles on remission are "pure" and that a 25
member international team using an 18 point criterion has found 64 "certified miracles" at Lourdes.
Placebo, remission and miracle are areas of radical breakthrough. They change the rules. They confirm the pres‐
ence of the healer within. They suggest that our practice of self‐healing methods can mobilize the internal ca‐
pacity for self‐repair and health recovery. And ‐‐‐ they point to the value of the body, mind and spirit interac‐
tion.
Mind‐Body Practice ‐‐ Qigong, Tai Chi and other forms of practice, which mobilize the healer within ‐‐ are very
accessible and practical ways to accelerate the likelihood of healing, disease prevention, the renewal of vitality
and the reversal of aging.
A Historic Opportunity 历史的机遇
Consider consciously taking part in your own remission. Make miracles for yourself, because you are
allowed to. Decide to turn on the power of the placebo.
Why not become a teacher of Qigong and Tai Chi? Be a part of the revolution in health care and medicine where
people of all walks of life learn to turn on the healer within. Spread the word! A new era of health, wellbeing and
life potential is emerging. We are the ones who will bring this about.

The Healer Within: by Dr. Roger Jahnke
(click on the book cover to order from Amazon.com)
Dr. Roger Jahnke translates Asian
traditions of self-healing into a fourpart
health promotion program for
daily practice -- gentle movement of
the body; self-applied massage,
combining massage of the ears,
hands, and feet; breathing practices;
and methods of deep relaxation and
meditation, crucial to calming and
focusing the mind. The reader can
experiment and choose among the
varied practices to tailor an easy-toimplement
regimen. Dr. Jahnke
makes a persuasive argument for
using these mind-body healing techniques both to recover
from illness and to remain healthier and happier all the time.
