Introduction Everything in the universe is made of the same thing - energy. Behind all forms of energy finding a unique expression is the formless creative source energy of the universe. When energy gets expressed in unhealthy patterns we call disease or trauma, we can bring these energies into a state of health (freely flowing harmonized energy) through simple movement practices, sounds, and visualizations. In this booklet are the essential teachings of Wisdom Healing Qigong for activating the natural healthy condition. The healing techniques taught here can apply to a particular personal condition, a condition of another person, or a condition in your workplace or the world. Whether you are new to energy-based healing or have been working with energy as a therapist, doctor or Qigong student, whether you are sick or healthy, we trust both the theory and the practices shared will bring great benefit to your life and all that you care deeply about. The beauty of Wisdom Healing (Zhineng) Qigong’s (WHQ) approach to healing is that nothing is isolated, nothing is excluded, everything belongs. We encourage you to integrate the techniques, ideas, and practices shared here with your existing medical and spiritual approach to healing. Or use this as an introduction to deeper study of Qigong style healing. It all belongs. The purpose of this booklet is to teach you the fundamentals of WHQ Healing. To serve this purpose, we have consolidated a large collection of oral teachings and practices taught by Master Mingtong Gu and his wife, Linling, powerful teachers and healers in the lineage of Zhineng Qigong as taught by Dr. Pang Ming founder of the medicine-less Qigong hospital in China. Further materials for study and listings of upcoming opportunities to learn directly from Mingtong and Linling can be found on their website at www.chicenter.com. 3

What is Qigong & Qigong Healing? Wisdom Healing Qigong (WHQ) is the English translation of Zhineng Qigong, which has grown out of a 5,000-year-old healing tradition in China. While Qigong is most frequently thought of as gentle flowing movements (like T’ai Chi), WHQ offers us movements and much more. Wisdom Healing Qigong is a complete system of theory and practices that integrates ancient wisdom, modern science and the mind’s creative power to transform our lives from dis-ease to health and well-being. Qigong is the cultivation of energy. Qi is energy. Gong is cultivation. We cultivate energy in three principle ways: through movement, sound and the creative power of the mind (visualization). In this booklet, we are sharing the Wisdom Healing Qigong theory and techniques of energetic healing. We will come to understand the theoretical framework as both ancient wisdom, quantum science and personal experience. The first half of this booklet provides us with the foundational perspective that makes this practice so effective. Then we will apply this framework to the practices of Lachi and Fachi, gathering and directing energy and activating the power of the creative source energy for our personal healing. We will expand upon these teachings and learn how to send energy to others and/or to conditions we are concerned about, without depleting our own energy. The second half of this booklet focuses on the techniques and answers to common questions that arise. For a personal experience of these teachings we welcome you to Master Gu’s Healing Intensive Retreats. Essential to understanding WHQ is the principle that we are all in this together, nothing is isolated. So as you read this booklet and experiment with these practices, imagine being connected with all of us doing the same, and together we will activate even more energy for each other’s healing efforts! May all benefit! 5

Healing Framework The purpose of Qigong energy healing is to unblock and release the healing power within you and to amplify the exchange of life force energy (chi) between you and the universe. When we bring balance to the energies of our being and the energy of the universe, we create harmony within ourselves. We are healthy and happy when our energy is flowing freely in a state of balance, integration and harmony. The energy associated with our being flows both within and around the body. The energy of our being is intricately interwoven with the creative life force energy of the universe. Understanding our relationship with this energy, foundational to all of creation, we can seed our own future, initiate our own well-being, and activate our own divine potential and the divine blueprint of life around us. Disease and dysfunction show up when the energy of any system is out-of-balance. This appears as stagnation, blockage, or in some other significant way. Whether the condition is a dis-ease in your body, such as cancer, Parkinson’s or Multiple Sclerosis, or exists on a larger scale, like the societal problem of prisons, the healing process is the same. We bring the full power of the creative energy of the universe deep into the interior of the blocked energy by providing energy to this system with a revitalized purpose: the transformation into its natural potential --- a healthy, happy, balanced state of freely flowing energy.

Sequence for Initiating Transformation of Disease

The practices of Wisdom Healing Qigong (WHQ) bring healthy life force energy to every condition providing the healing energy that is vital for beneficial change. Practice alone can activate these healthy new patterns. Many, many healing “miracles” have occurred for people who knew nothing about the theory or the inner workings of their diseased organs, just by doing the Wisdom 6

Healing (Zhineng) Qigong practice. Practice is essential. The basic practice of Lachi and Fachi are taught beginning on page 37. When we supplement practice with the transmission of harmonious information (theory and science), we amplify the healing energy’s penetration deep into our molecular structure and deliberately provide a new framework for the transformational process. Integrating the wisdom of the mind, body and spirit, we learn both to generate this new energy and information as well as receive and share it.
