Qi gong ("chee gung") is an ancient Chinese health modality that has been proven effective for a range of diseases and conditions, and it is used extensively by tens of millions of people daily for preventative medicine and self healing. Although the Qi gong and Energy Medicine Database™ contains over 3500 medical and scientific references for Energy Medicine healing. Qi gong and other energy-based therapies have not received widespread acceptance by Western medical practitioners. There are many reasons for the reluctance to adopt these therapies, including a lack of understanding of their benefits and how they work, a scarcity of clinical trial results, and an undefined scientific foundation. However, exciting new discoveries are being made in Energy Medicine research and practice that help to explain Qi gong’s amazing self-healing, health maintenance, disease prevention, and chronic disease management benefits. This effective and ancient healing system uses both active gentle body movements and/or passive meditation. Qi gong for healing can normally be learnt in a single day on a one-to-one or group basis, and can then be practiced at home as required.Qi gong is based on the simple yet profound understanding that everything in the universe is energy. Many people think of energy in a very limited way. They think of energy as be-ing electricity or the fuel that powers their car. Electricity and fuel are indeed forms of energy, but everything in the universe is also a form of energy. Qi gong began and remains a science--the study of how the universe works at its most basic, energetic level. It all started more than 5,000 years ago when Chinese scholars, studying the workings of the universe, first discovered and established the Eastern scientific principle that every-thing is energy. Fast forward a few millennia to the early 20th Century, when a brilliant young physicist named Albert Einstein came to the same conclusion. Einstein established the Western, scientific principle that everything in the universe is based on dynamic relationships of energy. Again, everything is energy. As Einstein also recognized, energy can neither be created nor destroyed, but energy can be transformed. The ancient Chinese scholars called this universal energy qi (pronounced "chee"). In China, the study and practice of transforming the energy (qi) to live a life of optimum health, wellness, and happiness came to be called qigong. (Qigong has many other facets as well, but it is the healing aspect we are focused on.) For thousands of years the practice of qigong was a closely guarded secret revealed only to a chosen few. Even today, traditional qigong techniques can be very difficult to learn, requiring years of rigid, disciplined practice to develop profi-ciency. Traditional qi gong masters still withhold the most powerful qigong techniques from all but a select few. Martin teaches a technique that is so simple anyone can learn it, yet it is very, very powerful. |
