"All Matter is energy"
Gene Egidio
Qigong
is a science, but it transcends modern science. Qigong as a science
should be used to improve people's lives - to teach them to be more natural - to
attain a sense of total well-being. True Qigong must be something that is
not just an intellectual pursuit or something to study, but should be applied to
life.
What is Qigong? It is the inter-exchange of Qi between people and the universe. When the exchange of Qi takes place, the Qi works. It is this exchange of Qi that creates an energy that brings about health in living beings and in the natural environment. When there is Qi, there is life. When there is no Qi, there is no life.
What are the three functions of Qigong?
 |
Qigong is good for overall health. Through the exchange of Qi, diseased Qi is removed and fresh, healthy Qi is gathered. |
|
Qigong brings about the removal of negativities that lead to worry, sadness, anger, nervousness, fear, and a stressful life. As a result, one is free to lead a happy and carefree life. Modern medicine is good, but only provides a temporary solution. If people want to maintain their health the energy level in the body must be in balance - the emotions must become balanced and even. Emotions can affect the physical body. The emotions and the physical body must be in harmony. This determines the quality of life. |
|
Finally, Qigong opens the heart. As one experiences the opening of the heart, this allows the Qi from the universe to go to the entire body, removing the negatives that rob one of a life of perfect well-being. |
The purpose of Qigong is to bring all back to their original state - the natural state. Originally, all were in the Qigong state. But, today, human society and the natural environment are no longer in balance. Qi is the life force. It protects the whole world, man's life, and the natural environment. This imbalance has brought about the deterioration in the quality of Qi. When this happens, the power of the Qi is diminished and the Qi becomes uselessness, ineffectual.
The amount of Qi in the universe is always the same. It is never more or less. But, the quality of the Qi can change. If the circulation is not good, if there is not enough of an exchange between man and the universe, it results in a harmful imbalance, in poor Qi quality, in stale and stagnant Qi, in diminished power.
To improve the quality of your life - to improve circulation - the human heart must be open. Unconditional love is the key that unleashes the power of Qi. When the heart is open, immersed in the experience of love, the interflow of Qi can take place making the Qi work.
Unconditional love is the root - it is the key. The relationship between human beings in society can effect nature. If the family is healthy and happy, it affects the community. If the community flourishes, it affects the entire country. If the country is healthy, it affects the entire world. This is what leads to peace and harmony. Only when one has been awakened to love can you understand the true meaning of life.
True Qigong awakens understanding from the heart. Qi is never separated from love. Through the practice of Qigong, true love is always with you - the joy of the lightness of being is always with you. A healthy mind coming from the practice of Qigong cooperates with the flow of Qi in the body. In the end, one realizes that it is not that the heart and the mind are used to make the Qi flow effectively. It just happens naturally, of its own accord. At that time life is never seen apart from the Qigong state. It is then that life becomes established in it.
