The greatest influence on the work of the IIT has been the systems created by the late Master Shen Hongxun (Dr. Shen), founder of the Buqi Institute.  

Master Shen Hongxun was a medical doctor from China with over 50 years experience teaching and practicing meditation, qigong and Taiji. 

The Buqi Institute continues his work in building a bridge between East and West, specifically with regard to Chinese medicine. Its objective is to present this knowledge to the West in a scientifically responsible way. The institute is growing rapidly with courses offered in Holland, UK, Luxembourg, France, Italy, Norway and the US. Advanced training is available through the institute in the areas of healing (Buqi), self healing (Taijiwuxigong), meditation, and Taiji 37 (a spontaneous practice of Taiji postures).

Dr. Shen was far more than a teacher, he was family. Beloved by students all over the world, his remarkable talent and exceptional heart was unique to this world. He touched and profoundly effected literally thousands of people lives over the years. He is sorely missed.
