The Vital Principle Institute (VPI) is guided by an inspiration to contribute to the healing of all. The constant and unlimited source of healing is the “vital principle”. Our work is to clear our blocking patterns and habits so that we can effectively connect to this vital source.
As an Institute dedicated to those involved in the healing arts, VPI organizes and supports seminars in selected healing modalities that empower us as people, and our work as health practitioners.
Our key program offering is German Auricular Acupuncture, based in the curriculum of the German Academy of Auricular Medicine, and the textbooks written by Beate Strittmatter, MD. Known for its effectiveness for chronic pain, neurological and hormonal imbalance and stress disorders, this form of acupuncture is only recently available in North America. Since 2003, VPI has been offering Seminars and a Certification Stream for professional health practitioners. Our seminars provide excellent opportunities for hands-on learning, as well as thorough presentations of theory.
Students leave our trainings with the ability to bring this form of acupuncture directly into clinical practice.
“Thank you so much for making this auricular training available and for all you do to provide such a quality learning experience!” - Cynthia Miller, RN, Minnesota
“Thank you so much for teaching your course in Toronto. I am having such phenomenal results with my Chronic Pain Clients. In several cases they feel the treatment has been life altering – an extreme improvement. They haven’t felt this good in years! It is really exciting to see chronic pain clients return to my Clinic with smiles on their faces and an improved quality of life.” - Lee Boss, Physiotherapist, Ontario.
“I am so positive about the German Auricular Therapy that I really hope it spreads all over North America.” - Diana Sarkar, M.D., Tennessee
We also offer seminars in Sheng Zhen Qigong. This qigong accesses the “qi” of unconditional Love, providing deep inner healing and harmonizing. Our seminars offer: teacher preparation for those who want to teach in their communities and organizations; qigong healing training as a modality for clinical practice; and qigong forms for a personal “moving meditation” practice. We work with the Sheng Zhen International Society and its master teacher, Li Jun Feng, to bring what is in our view the highest quality qigong training available.
“Learning Sheng Zhen Qigong has been a transformative experience for me. In her teaching, Rose conveys the messages of unconditional love and brings the movements to life. Her clear instruction has helped me to feel the ‘Qi’ gently flowing through my body, bringing a sense of peacefulness. Sheng Zhen has had a profound impact on me personally and in my work as a therapist and auricular acupuncturist. I am inspired to pursue Teacher Training so I can share it with others!” -Donna M. Murphy RSW, L-MSW
