Energy Worker and Healer

 
As many of my clients/students know, I have been practicing QiGong and meditation for over 50 years now. As chair of international certification through the National QiGong Association, I see so much on the internet about energy work, energy healing, Reiki, Touch for Health, Emotional Freedom Technique and more names that could fill up a page.
 
I wanted to take a moment to appeal to all energy workers/healers out there and acknowledge your contributions to the public on empowering people to take control of their health. Helping people to steer their own ship in life is critical to becoming fully awakened to life’s mysteries and blessings.
 
I also wanted to encourage practitioners to cross train a bit as well. In any sport, cross conditioning/training is the new way to increase your skills, performance, and heighten your awareness of your weak links. As every athlete knows, you are only as strong as your weakest link. The same is true in energy medicine.
 
As a healer/energy worker myself, I know I have to work on my weak links all the time as they keep changing as other parts of my training grow stronger. Keeping myself in balance this way is critical to me being able to stay healthy as I continue to work and heal others in this wonderful world of energy. I must say, by thinking this way and continuously working on my weak links, my ability to help others heal energetically improves every year.
 
Energetically, physically and mentally I can say I am far stronger than I was when I was 20, 30 or 40. That is the beauty of a cross-training practice. By humbling yourself to work on your weaknesses (firstly by admitting them), you can keep progressing indefinitely, I believe.
 
The other aspect of a good practice is to go deep - really deep. This is why I LOVE the oral tradition of Classical Chinese Medicine or Classical Taoist Medicine. My own lineage goes back to the Zhou Dynasty in China where major innovations were being made in medicine. So much wisdom built on the shoulders of previous teachers up through the Han Dynasty are available through the oral traditions. Even today, most of this is not in books.
 
In deeply thinking about how my teachers taught me and the information they bestowed on me, every day I have something new to meditate on. Taking that information to another level and passing that new piece on to my students – who in turn will deeply think, and pass that on to their students.
 
This to me is the most exciting thing my mind can do in the world - fulfilling my destiny.

Curriculum

Inner Strength, Inc. is the longest continuous running Medical/Clinical Qigong school in the USA.

The Medical/Clinical  QiGong Therapist certification provides the clinician with the ability to create a practice of energy medicine that allows them to recognize basic energy imbalance and provide  basic tonification qigong treatments to clients.

This course also provides safe practices for the clinician to build their own qi, for self protection, health and balance.

Tongue diagnosis, pulse diagnoses Wei Qi diagnoses are all part of the curriculum and will be used conjunctively with Classical Chinese Medicine (not necessarily 5-Element theory). The student will come up with treatment plans specific to correcting the underlying energetic pathologic imbalance leading to disease.

Clinic time using these processes is a huge part of the development of learning to run your own business and being able to operate independently.

Medical QiGong VS. Clinical QiGong

Any system can claim that it teaches Medical QiGong to capture students. Any teacher can claim that they teach Medical QiGong in the wild west of QiGong going on in America. Please understand there are no laws or rules…yet.

The National QiGong Association, a nonprofit organization dedicated to the promotion of QiGong practices, understands this and in so doing has called their international certification “Clinical QiGong”. They certify you to an international standard, not a particular system or teacher of which there is no comparative consistency received in training.

The gold standard of training in western and eastern medicine is hours of practice (in college it is credits). So we use hours as a measuring stick for self cultivation as well as didactic /  clinical / resident training as does the NQA.

The NQA believes that you need a minimal 500 hrs. of clinical, hands on instruction in order to work as a QiGong therapist in any capacity for the safety of the public as well as to follow the Hippocratic oath of, “First do no harm”. Unsupervised, anything less may not be ethical.

Comment from a recent graduate:



"Dr. Cibik is an amazing teacher - highly knowledgeable, down-to-earth, and able to present the subject matter in a way that makes sense while challenging students to dig deep into their own consciousness.

His Taoist background and own self cultivation has earned him an energetic presence unlike anyone. I have had the pleasure of learning from him.

The class has a leisurely humorous appeal, yet we are all thoroughly respectful of Dr. Cibik's vast knowledge, eager to learn all he so willingly shares.

It is a pleasure to be under his tutelage."

- Kate Kellman , Doctor of Medical Qigong, Class of 2018
