Zhineng Qigong

Ancient wisdom and science at the same time

Spoken: SheGong

If you want to describe Zhineng Qigong using methods from the Western world, it is very accurate to say that we are talking about a combination of
- physical training,
- progressive tension and relaxation of the muscles
– Autogenic training,
– Emotional work,
– Visualization,
– Consciousness work and
– Meditation
Speak at the same time.

The crucial difference, however, is that we use Qi (life energy) powerfully to work on three levels of holistic health in order to bring everything into... to bring natural balance. Yin and Yang in balance.

The first level

The first level or layer of health is physical matter. So everything that is physically visible and touchable – like the human body.

The second level

The second level is the level of energy.
99.99 percent of our universe is invisible matter/energy, says science. 99.99 percent! For what reason should we assume that we are not part of this energy?
Qigong has been working with it for thousands of years.

The third level

The third level is that of information.
Thoughts. Memories. Ideas. emotions.
This level is very closely connected to our consciousness and has a decisive influence on the way people think, feel and act.

History

For thousands of years (first written mention in 2,600 BC), Qigong was China's best-kept health secret, a hidden treasure behind the walls of ancient monasteries and temples as well as in thrived in the private villas of wealthy Chinese. It was an art of merging body, mind and soul into a harmonious unity.

In the past, Qigong was only passed down orally from master to student, a precious heritage available only to the select few in the inner Qigong circle (Nei-Jia). There, in the closed world of the Qigong family, the secrets of energy exercises to strengthen the body and mind were revealed.

But today the tide has turned, and Qigong is radiating its light to all corners of the world.

The Qigong form "Zhineng Qigong" is officially considered in China to be the most effective medical form of Qigong with health-promoting effects and is practiced by millions of people around the world. Based on a scientifically based approach, Zhineng Qigong combines special movement exercises with visualizations and powerful meditations to bring body, mind and soul into harmony. Zhineng Qigong has been a recognized science in China since 1998.

Professor Dr. Pang Ming, the pioneer in this field, says: “The true art of life is to balance body and mind.”

He developed Zhineng Qigong in the 1970s at the request of the then Chinese government. Dr. At that time, Pang was already one of the most famous Qigong grandmasters in China. Also
TCM professor and western professor doctor.
He took the 12 most renowned Qigong forms and 7 other Asian healing forms as a basis and traveled through China and Asia for around 10 years to expand his knowledge. During this time he studied these healing arts with 19 grand masters, extracted the essences of these ancient wisdom and methods and then developed them further. In addition, he has integrated in-depth knowledge of TCM (Traditional Chinese Medicine) and Western medicine.

The result: Zhineng Qigong – translated as above explains in more detail, it means "Intelligent Qigong."

Today Dr. Pang is still working in research and enjoys excellent health being over 85 years old.
