How  Zhineng Qigong Began

Zhineng Qigong was developed by Grandmaster Professor Dr. Pang Ming, a physician trained in both Chinese Traditional Medicine and Western Medicine.

He developed this simple medical healing system for the masses and called it Zhineng Qigong.  There are many forms of qi gong in China, but Zhinang Qigong intentionally organizes the qi field and uses external Hunyuan Qi for healing. Primal Hunyuan Qi is the energy field from which all life originated.  It still exists in it’s original undifferentiated state and can be accessed using qi gong methods.

The meaning of  Zhineng Qigong

The name Zhineng Qigong reflects and embodies the whole purpose of qigong and its benefits.  According to Master Yuantong Liu, it has the “potential to take away disease, prolong life, improve health, make the body fit and beautiful, gain wisdom, and develop   full human potential.”

Zhineng Qigong Has Nine Characteristics

1.  Zhineng  Qigong is based on The Hunyuan Theories developed by Dr. Pang Ming.  He based these theories on old qigong systems (Ancient Chinese Medicine).  He used Buddist and Daoist theories and modern science (quantum theory) to develop his framework.  It assumes that Hunyan Qi is formed when physical matter (information) and Primal Hunyan   Qi combine.  There are as many levels of Hunyan Qi as there are things existing in nature.

Zhineng Qigong assumes that  the Primal Hunyuan Qi of nature comes into being when Tai Ji movement starts to transform and integrate, but has not yet become  Yin/Yang, the Five Elements, or the Bagua (10,000 things).  In other words, it is the undifferentiaed life force that exists all around us everywhere. So it is available as an inexhaustible source of nourishment for human beings.

Human Hunyuan Qi is directed by the mind’s conscious intention.  Through the practice of
Zhineng Qigong, Primal Hunyuan Qi can be mobilized to work by using human consciousness to absorb and process it, so that human disease is eliminated, health is improved, and wisdom becomes accessible.

In our next article, we will discuss the second characteristic of Zhineng Qigong, its 6 level system of practice methods.
