Brief Introduction of Zhineng Qigong
Qigong had been practised in China for thousands of years to prevent illness and to cure illness thus making the individuals daily life more satisfying, Martial art exponents also practise qigong to make themselves more lethal.
There are many varieties of qigong and Zhineng Qigong is but one of them. You may have heard about people who practised various forms of qigong ending up suffering from abnormal symptoms. Therefore it is important to select a form of qigong that has none of such adverse symptoms on those who practise it. This is mainly because Zhineng Qigong does not emphasize on circulation the qi in certain fixed paths in the body. Zhineng Qigong is unique in that its main principle rests on exchanging the qi in the body with the qi in the universe.
Qi is perhaps on of the most important and profound concept in Chinese health system. Literally, it means life-breath. It has also been defined as vital energy, lifeforce, ether and bio-electricity. The Chinese believe that Qi fills the Universe and all things are derived from Qi. Perhaps Qi can be described as the source of all things. This universal Qi is known in Zhineng Qigong as Hunyuan Qi.
In Zhineng Qigong, the basic theory is the exchange of the body Qi with the Hunyuan Qi. The properties of Hunyuan Qi encompasses all matter in the universe. Using this principle, Zhineng Qigong practitioners are able to direct the flow of Hunyuan Qi into the part of the body that is ill to provide a cure. Since Hunyuan Qi is available in abundance and all is takes is for a trained person to harness it, a Zhineng Qigong student should be able to start using it to treat people perhaps within three to six months of daily pratice. ( Huanyuan Qi can be directed by the mind. Using the mind to concentrate the Hunyuan Qi, it can be transformed into substance. Using the mind in dispersing the substance, it can be reverted to Huayuan Qi.)
The founder of Zhineng Qigong is Prof. Pang Ming who studied western medicine, Chinese traditional medicine and many other forms of Qigong for years before he created Zhineng Qigong which consists the best of the various scientific and medical principles. Having satisfied himself the effectiveness and ease in learning Zhineng Qigong, he introduced the First Set of Qigong exercise in 1980 and before long, it was practised in over twenty provinces in China. Five years later, he introduced the Second Set. In 1991 the Third Set was taught.
There are altogether Six Sets of Zhineng Qigong exercise. Students must be fully conversant with each set and realize the benefits before moving on to the next set, otherwise progress is not possible. It is like making sure that a child can walk before teaching her how to jump. So far, only the first three sets had been introduced and they are:
 | 1st Set Qi Exchange Exercise |
| 2nd Set Using Form to direct Qi |
| 3rd Set Panto-Element Form |
