“
Studying Medical Qigong and Shamanic Chinese Medicine with Wendy has been such an incredible blessing on my path. The wisdom and knowledge that I have been receiving have been really supportive in cultivating my own energy as well as in integrating what I have already learned through other modalities in a way that I have never had before. The depth and wisdom of the ancient science of Traditional Chinese Medicine is one of the most powerful tools I have come across so far.

Thank you both for your unfailing kindness, patience and competency in teaching us this wonderful treatment approach.
Dr. Gavin Farrell
Certification at Empty Mountain Institute runs three levels: Practitioner, Therapist, and Masters. Each level is built from four five-day seminars and a shared clinic, taught live online to the standards of the International Institute of Medical Qigong. The Masters level runs to 1,000 hours and closes with a clinical internship working with members of the public. Graduates practice as certified Medical Qigong practitioners and therapists, and some go on to teach. 

Teacher Wendy Lang holds a Master's degree from the International Institute of Medical Qigong, founded by Dr. Jerry Alan Johnson, and has taught its three-year practitioner training for over sixteen years. Her own study began with Minke de Vos and continued under Master Mantak Chia, where she earned her Universal Healing Tao instructor credentials.

Stillness and action are relative, not absolute, principles. It is important to find a balance of yin and yang, not just in qigong, but in everyday life. In movement, seek stillness and rest. In rest, be mindful and attentive.
