Does it make sense to learn historic qigong ?

2011-11-23T16:53:00.001+01:00

Yes, this is how to learn something about qigong.
Examples explain for whom and to what purpose.

Example
The wooden draisine, the dandy-horse,
a forerunner of the bycicle
has no pedals, no backpedal brake.
The later penny-farthing had no gear,
one wheel rotation of the large wheel,
a much longer track than that of a small wheel.
A modern bike has backpedal brake, pedals, chain,
gear, so you can select the transmission
as for a large or a small wheel,
the real wheel size loses importance.

For small children we also have dandy-horses today.
Thus they are trained early for a bike.

Example
The original pommel horse on the Hasenheide
looked different from today's, also the gymnastic clothing.
Shirts and pants in stripes are not customary today.
The materials are different, for apparatus and clothing.

Result
For show events it can be very nice.
Everyone enoys seeing a penny-farthing in motion
or a team of gymnasts in striped clothing.

As with the dandy-horses for small children
many things make sense today and have an effect.

But why practise a historic qigong?
Zhineng Qigong is the peak of the development
and includes everything as the modern bike
of the example.

The Reference System of Zhineng Qigong - what is it ?

2011-10-09T04:16:00.000+02:00

You can realize how important the reference system
of Zhineng Qigong is when you understand
how progress develops.

You learn and practise the form of the first level.
You fill the form with content.
The personal reference system adapts to it.
You can learn the form of the next level.

There it continues alike.

You can practise the forms of following levels.
However, the filling with content is only successful
if the previous level is finished.

The adaptation of the reference system terminates
the level.

Body and mind have become an entirety again.
The knowledge of what the reference system is
is revealed.

Once you understand it you know why it is possible
to practise a level for years
without making any progress.

Frozen Shoulders

2011-09-03T05:44:00.000+02:00

In Europe a woman in the early fifties "thawed" her frozen shoulders with the additional exercise Tai Ji Ball of Zhineng Qigong and regained full agility.

Thawing goes slowly - 30 minutes of Tai Ji ball daily - the gong lastet 360 days.

During menopause women often have to deal with frozen shoulders.

See also videos of Pang Ming on Tai Ji Ball.

Freedom of Thoughts

2011-02-03T08:36:00.000+01:00

Free translation of an old German song
on the freedom of thoughts:

"Thoughts are free,
who can guess them,
they fly past
like shades in the night.
No one can know them,
no hunter shoot them
with powder and lead,
thoughts are free!

I think what I want
and what makes me happy,
but all in stillness
and as it should be.
My wish and desire
nobody can deny me,
it remains:
Thoughts are free!

And if they lock me
into dark dungeons,
all this is
purely in vain.
Because my thoughts
tear down the barriers
and walls,
thoughts are free!

So I say goodbye for ever
to anxiety
and I will also never more
worry unnecessarily.
In your heart
you can always laugh and joke
and keep thinking:
Thoughts are free!

I love wine,
my girl-friend above all,
she alone
pleases me best.
I do not sit alone
with a glass of wine,
my girl-friend at my side:
Thoughts are free!"

Zhineng Qigong movements in daily life

2010-05-30T11:16:00.000+02:00

Regular practice changes movements.
If something can be done with less strain,
the body remembers and uses it.
This is how movements change in everyday life.

An example:
I was at the dentist's, had to open my mouth.
The doctor asked me to let go.
She needed more space, a larger opening.
I released the tension of the muscles and did it.
This was done in seconds. Why?
It corresponds to the releasing of tension
as we practise it with Zhineng Qigong.

With minimal tension remaining we hold the postures
in the movement and move our extremities.
It is easy and flowing and qi supports us in it.
We apply this knowledge unconsciously in everyday life.

The muscles are relaxed, they can regenerate.
In this way we can make many movements,
are fresh and full of energy after the exercises.
With muscle power alone we would be exhausted,
powerless.

Spontaneous Qi – What is it?

2010-05-30T11:03:00.000+02:00

This is about spontaneous qi movements.

Spontaneous qi is an abbreviated term for this.
Another hint: spontaneous qi is not an exercise.

Spontaneous is only spontaneous when it occurs spontaneously.
An exercise is not spontaneous, but intentional.

Qi tries to flow through the body,
to open ways and create new ones.

This is also a sign for blockages that are eliminated.
With regular practice it lessens, disappears.

It is enough to stay calm, to observe precisely,
to change body postures so that qi can flow
and make its way.

When you start to practise Zhineng Qigong,
qi starts to flow, not all ways are free,
there may be blockages, however these are rare.
Spontaneous qi is possible, but rare.

Why? - Zhineng Qigong is an open system,
we open ourselves from the start, try to avoid
blockages, but cannot exclude them.

Regular practice keeps the qi flow activated.
This is how we ensure a free flow without blockages.

Zhineng Qigong introduced the Qi-Field – Why?

2010-05-23T07:34:00.000+02:00

With closed qigong exercises, it is not worthwhile.

If you are working with your own body's qi,
if you have not opened yourself, it gives you nothing.

The qi-field cannot give you anything.
You are concentrated on yourself.

If you open yourself, you can use it.

Zhineng Qigong is a system of open exercises.
We open ourselves right from the beginning.

We absorb fresh qi from our surroundings.
We release used qi to our surroundings.
We connect at once to the qi-field.

This is how we increase the effects of qi.

This is especially important for sick persons.

That is why Dr. Pang Ming thought of this
and introduced practising in the qi-field.

Posted in German by detlef,
translated into English by dolores

Do you have to feel qi for qi to work?

2010-05-19T17:57:00.000+02:00

No, if at all you only feel your own body's qi.
It is thicker and not so fine flowing.

Closed qigong knows the guiding of your own qi
in the meridians of the body by the mind.
During such an exercise you can lose contact with qi
and then have to start again,
i.e. to build contact anew.

Moreover this method uses energy and qi.
If only little qi exists, as with a sick person,
then this person loses more qi and is weakened.

With Zhineng Qigong it is different.
We organize a qi field with the Hun Yuan Qi of the
universe and strengthen the effects.
The qi of the universe, the Hun Yuan Qi,
is so fine - you do not feel it.
We open ourselves at once, absorb this fine qi
from the beginning.

In our body it is changed to our own body qi.
This is how we strengthen the weak qi of
the sick person at once.

Simultaneously we cultivate the qi flow in the body.
This improves the well-being of the sick person.

This is also possible with internal martial arts,
but it takes too long until the effects arise.

With closed qigong exercises you open yourself
as soon as the flow of your own body's qi has
been cultivated.

First cultivate your own body's qi, then external qi.
No wonder it takes much longer.

One example shows clearly:
With Zhineng Qigong we use the motorway.
With closed qigong we drive on country roads.

A sick person needs the effects of qi at once.
Speed is essential, therefore use the motorway.

To feel qi is not important, the main point is it works.
We send qi by our mind where it is needed.
How to get there qi knows best.
We notice when it arrives at the target.
That is enough.

Of course we know how to emit qi to a sick person
from outside as with closed qigong.

Zhineng Qigong – is optimally suited for internal martial arts

2010-05-19T17:20:00.000+02:00

The internal martial arts use open qigong exercises.

Dr. Pang Ming expressly points out the following:
Open and closed exercises must not be mixed.

If you learn internal martial arts you also learn
the open qigong exercises of the marial art.

If you want to add something else to intensify,
these must be additional open qigong exercises.

Practising Zhineng Qigong simultaneously is possible.

To practise additionally a closed qigong
would be mixing open with closed exercises.
That is impossible.

Negative effects will follow.

Is it difficult to find your qigong? - No, why?

2010-05-19T17:08:00.000+02:00

It is easy for me as advanced practitioner.
It may be difficult for a beginner.
But I was extremely lucky.
The first try was already successful.
The teacher was very good.
I did not lose any time by searching.

Why is it so easy for me now to rate it?
The more than 3000 qigong are only one way.

Why? - All are closed qigong forms.
The next group is Zhineng Qigong alone.

Why? - Only Zhineng Qigong is an open system.
There are also open exercises in martial arts.

But these are exercises, no systems.
So there are only two groups

Group one - closed qigong forms
Group two - open qigong forms

If you have learned a closed form,
you know the principle of this direction.
An alternative is then only the open form.
There is only Zhineng Qigong
or martial arts.

With martial arts it is similar:
First came external martial arts.
Then internal martial arts were created.
The internal martial arts are superior to
external martial arts.

With qigong first came the closed forms.
With Zhineng Qigong there is now the open system.

It is clear: you change from external martial arts
to internal martial arts - not vice versa.

The same with qigong: from closed forms
you change to open forms - not vice versa.

The question is whether you also want to learn
martial arts at the same time - but this is not required.

So it is very easy, as there are only two styles
of practice: open or closed.

You do not have to try all more than 3000 closed
styles of practicing qigong - they are all similar.
One closed qigong is sufficient.
You then know about it.

On my webpages and in my blogs

I am making available detailed information

about Zhineng Qigong and the practice.

You appreciate this service.

It interests you, should be continued and supplemented.

You can help me and support me.

Every voluntary contribution helps.

No amount is too small.

Every contribution counts and is welcome.

From the wild Apple to the cultivated Apple

2010-03-18T12:21:00.000+01:00

A wild apple-tree bears some apples.
The apples are small and sour and
unpalatable for human beings.

A grafted apple-tree in commercial growth
bears many apples.
The apples are sweet and you like to eat them.

What has happened?
A breeder has used his knowledge to grow
a new variety that is tasty and very fruitful.
This new variety is grafted as a scion onto
the wild apple-tree and used in commercial
growing for the people at large.

Traditional qigong are like old apple varieties.
To gain access to the effects of qi is not easy.

Zhineng Qigong is like a cultivated apple.
Even sick persons feel the effects of qi
and many can make good progress.

Dr. Pang Ming is like the cultivator of a new
variety. The grafted variety has been pruned,
mystic and religious elements were eliminated,
and characteristics changed - taste and yield.
Quick effects and rapid progress are the result.

Today, too, new varieties of apples are created
and are proven and documented.
For Zhineng Qigong the effectiveness has also
been proven scientifically (study on 7936 cases
in the Huaxia Zhineng Qigong Center in China
with medical examinations by Western-trained
doctors at the beginning and end of the stay).

Many who engage in qigong want to feel qi.
But it is not at all important whether you
feel qi or not.

With Zhineng Qigong we feel the effects of qi:
we feel that we are doing better.
This is cause for joy and continued practising.

What is so special about Zhineng Qigong

2010-03-17T08:38:00.000+01:00

There are more than 3000 different qigong.
Why now one more - Zhineng Qigong?
Qigong has developed over many
thousands of years.
It is the result of this development.
The progress continues.
At the beginning were the closed exercises.
The martial arts also have open exercises.
The development was as follows:
Qigong, then martial arts,
hard martial arts, soft martial arts.
Zhineng Qigong is the first open system.
It is a jump in evolution.
A specialty was added.
Practising in the qi field.
Other open systems can follow.
The progress continues.

Zhineng Qigong without teacher doesn't do - Why ?

2010-03-17T08:17:00.000+01:00

It is like a candle - without flame no light.
What is it good for if the fire is lacking to light it?
The form, that is the exercise, is only the candle.
Poor teachers are like big candles without flame.
You can learn the form from them - nothing more.
Then the exercises are only gymnastics.
So, a candle without flame does not suffice.
The form has to be filled with contents.
You need a teacher with a burning flame.
There you can fetch fire - then it works.
Then the light will burn and shine ever stronger.

The Essence of Joy

2010-03-17T08:10:00.000+01:00

Joy is the power drive of life,

Joy helps us to exceed boundaries,
Joy helps us to solve problems,
Joy changes our mood,
Joy chases fears away,
Joy sets us free,
Joy makes us strong.
Why are we not joyful?
Are we afraid of being joyful?
Let's not mistake success for joy.
We do not forget moments of joy.
These memories do not fade.
These are lucky times in life.
Joy strengthens the power of life.
Joy gives us life energy.
Joy works like Qi.
Qi is power of life, is life energy.

The Essence of the Break

2010-02-28T10:11:00.000+01:00

Breaks are important for everyone.
These are the times to gather energy.

Who works without breaks is quickly exhausted.
It is like running without catching air.
Then you are soon out of breath.

It is like standing still for an instant,
to prepare for what is to come.

This is how to act thoughtfully,
avoid mistakes, do more,
without wearing yourself out and more efficient.

In daily life we need breaks.
We have to plan them.
Otherwise our life is all over with
before we even noticed.

Zhineng Qigong helps us in the meditative part
to insert these breaks into our life.

A break is an interruption
of a sequence by an action.
We are doing something, helping ourselves.

Being calm and composed

2010-02-28T09:46:00.000+01:00

In the midst of life's turmoil

deep inside, an island of tranquility,
an ocean of composure,
gentle waves and a light breeze,
a quiet heart and an alert mind,
grow from conscious acting.

Sense and nonsense, side by side,
treasuring and paying attention to small things,
but don't lose yourself in details,
pondering, awaiting, the darkness clears,
light falls onto your path and shines for you.

Set your gaze to the aim and go forward.

To become calm and composed

2010-02-28T09:30:00.000+01:00

Why is it so important?

Let your gaze roam about consciously
through the window into nature,
into the vast landscape,
just for the blink of an eye-lash,
the fraction of a second.

Your heart feels this moment of tranquility
and treasures it.
How precious are some moments.

Moments of stillness in the midst of your daily life,
where your own melody chimes,
that what makes you perceptibly you.

May your day have many such moments.

Qi - how it works on blood pressure

2010-02-28T03:38:00.000+01:00

With Zhineng Qigong you can influence
too high or too low blood pressure and regulate it.
This is not to replace medical drugs.

I myself have a slightly increased blood pressure.
My doctor gave me a medical drug.
I swallowed it for some time.

Medical drugs work constantly, without interruption.
I did not want to accept the side effects.
I discontinued to take them and informed my doctor.
The risk is entirely mine.

With or without medical drugs the blood pressure
is not the same during the whole day - physical
stress causes short-time peaks.
This is normal, no problem for healthy persons.

Daily Zhineng Qigong practice regulates it.
Too low blood pressure is normalized,
too high blood pressure is reduced.
To what extent medical drugs are still required,
is the task of a doctor. Often a less strong medical
drug or smaller dose of it is required.

Zhineng Qigong works also on the mind.
You can control qi with your mind.
Qi flows into the direction you tell it.
As a human being you are able to do that.

Until now I only practised the basic exercises.
These basic exercises already help to become
aware of these capabilities and thus get them
ready for use.

An Example
As soon as I let qi flow down from above,
it is possible for me to lower the SYS value
of my blood pressure by approx. 20 points
within seconds. No medical drug works that quickly.

The qi flow is controlled by my mind,
at the same time the blood pressure decreases
as a side effect. This is no Zhineng Qigong exercise,
but Zhineng Qigong gave me the access to it.
