Understanding the Healing Power of Qigong

by Master Chunyi Lin

 

Qigong teaches you to use your mind, body, and spirit together to unblock energy and balance Yin and Yang energy in the body.

We are formed by two kinds of Qi–Yin and Yang. Yin means something female, passive, and spiritual; Yang means something male, active, and physical. Examples of Yin would be woman, water, and earth. Examples of Yang would be man, fire, and sky. Yin and Yang energy must be in a good balance. Colds, arthritis, tumors, etc. are simply the symptoms of the imbalance of Yin and Yang. This imbalance creates energy blockages.

Once a blockage is formed, energy cannot flow freely in our energy channels. These energy channels run throughout the body to keep it fully functioning.

We have many energy channels in our body. There are twelve main channels and eight reservoir channels. Each channel serves a specific purpose. The main channels carry energy to wherever energy is needed in the body. Extra energy in the main channels flows to the reservoir channels. The body draws on energy in the reservoir channels when the main channels run low.

Blockages in the main and reservoir channels prevent energy from getting to all parts of the body. Body functioning slows down or stops, and we feel sick.

If we want to get well, we have to remove those blockages and open channels.  This rebalances the Yin and Yang energy.

We remove blockages and open channels when we take medicine and/or practice Qigong and other exercise. I recommend that you look at Qigong as complementing medicine, because western medicine can serve you well in many ways.

Qigong exercise and Qigong meditation are active and preventative ways to heal the body. Medicine is a passive way to heal the body. Both approaches play an important role, but Qigong can potentially heal the body more effectively and perfectly.

A perfect healing heals the body physically, mentally, and spiritually. Traditional healing techniques primarily help the body physically. Qigong opens the door for holistic, perfect healing of the body, mind, and spirit. Sicknesses usually start from the Yin energy, the spiritual energy. As Yin blockages grow, we feel symptoms in the physical body. We call it sickness. My Chinese ancestors developed the techniques of Qigong to help unblock Yin energy. Today, western scientists have documented that Qigong can help heal the body more completely with less pain, less stress, and less anxiety.
