About ZY Qigong

Zhong Yuan Qigong (ZY Qigong) is a self-development, energy/exercise practice for improving your health and creativity. Physical body exercises, breathwork, and meditations, increase your awareness of your vital life energy bodies, moving you beyond "does energy exist?" to having a personal sensory experience-- You can feel the energy. New practitioners learn to activate energy, cleanse toxic energies and gather energy into your body. It gives you a deeper understanding of yourself in relationship to the world, and in relationship to your being on all levels - physically (body), energetically (spirit) and informationally (mind). It also helps you integrate these three elements.

Practitioners use time-tested tools such as Image Therapy to heal themselves and others of chronic and "incurable" ailments. It is a way to nurture the vibrant life energy within and uncover our unlimited human potential to understand ourselves and all those who share this and other worlds with us. It enables one to raise the collective consciousness through ones own comprehension and experience. With abundant, balanced and well-flowing qi within ourselves, you rise above stress, depression and mundane concerns to see and experience the greater life and find health, longevity, wisdom, and happiness.

Wisdom - Develop potential functions of the brain. Develop abilities to communicate with the universe. And, develop all-dimensional view

Health - Eliminate spiritual disease: end depression, stress, grief, sadness, frustration, anger, greed, ignorance and loneliness through the development of love, transcendence of ego, understanding and wisdom.  Eliminate  energy diseases: fatigue, poor memory, low energy, diseases of a weakened immune system.  Eliminate physical disease and chronic pain. Prevent disease and bring about wellness.

Universal Living - Understand your life cycle—past, present and future (where you come from, where you are going). Understand your life range—in this world and others.

Definition of "Universe": Time: What you do now must be right for you, past and future. Space: Not only this place, but all dimensions.
