Your Online Experience Will Include:
settings
GENTLE & ENLIVENING MOVEMENT AND EMBODIMENT PRACTICES
settings
We’ll start each day's session with a short meditation (called setting the chi field), followed by Master Mingtong teaching you simple movement practices that relax your mind and body to generate more powerful healing and awakening effects. Your day will include teachings, transmissions, sound healing technologies, and gentle movement practices.
settings
SOUND HEALING TO OPEN YOUR HEART & EMOTIONAL ENERGY
settings
You will learn and practice intensive Sound Healing for the 5 organ systems. Sacred healing sounds work to release the stress we all feel — which is often primarily emotional stress locked in the cellular memory of our organs. By healing these emotional contractions of energy, you empower yourself to heal and awaken on every level of your life.
settings
PURE CONSCIOUSNESS PRACTICES TO CONNECT TO SOURCE ENERGY
settings
Integrate with the Living Universe and develop your infinite potential available in every cell and every moment. Experience a deep connection with life as you tap into the abundant energy flow of the universe and deeply absorb its wisdom. Through intentional and meditative movements, you’ll activate inner and outer energy flow, and create internal and external harmony, balance, and renewal. Learn to connect with a wider spectrum of energies including subtle energy, and the "Qigong secret" of accessing your primordial connection to unconditional Source energy.

Here at The Chi Center for Wisdom Healing Qigong, our entire focus is on supporting your healing and awakening, at every level of your being.
Our founder, Master Mingtong Gu, started out with asthma, scoliosis, as well as deep emotional pain from an unhappy and unstable childhood while growing up in China.
He found very little relief from standard treatments, and was resigned to a life centered on trying to manage his symptoms and pain.
In 1993 during his search for relief and healing, a friend of his from Ohio invited him to a Qigong class she was teaching.
When he spoke about his first experience, he said, "I was fascinated but had no idea how this could improve my health. But then... I felt a sense of lightness, flexibility, and inner being-ness that I had never experienced before. I asked my friend if she had any books about the practice and she gave me a book written in Chinese about the Medicineless Qigong Hospital in China. This planted the seed that led to my return to China and studying with Dr. Grandmaster Pang Ming."
settings
The Chinese Hospital With No Medicine
Master Mingtong's journey to wellness led him to China, to Dr. Grandmaster Pang Ming's Huaxia Zhineng Qigong Clinic, Training, and Recovery Center — also known as the Medicine-less Qigong Hospital, where he experienced profound healing through the ancient healing modality Zhineng Qigong, which translates to "Wisdom Healing Qigong".
This Center was unlike typical hospitals you might think of; it used Qigong as the only form of treatment.
Over 23 years, The Center in China served 200,000 people with chronic, incurable, and "terminal" illnesses with excellent results.
Master Mingtong learned that Zhineng Qigong wasn’t just about movements. The healing went far deeper than the physical...

“We cultivate our own life energy through accessing nature’s great store of life energy [called qi or chi]. This approach produces quick results. But cultivating one’s qi/chi is not the most fundamental; cultivating one’s spirit is.
"Mastery of qi/chi is really achieved through mastery of consciousness. We use consciousness in a careful, craftsman-like way, to shape our life, to attain our goals…
"In modern terms, Qigong is just the refinement of consciousness to enhance the state of energy in the body. This leads to vibrant health, a harmonious body and mind, and awakened spiritual life.” —Dr. Ming Pang, creator of Zhineng Qigong (aka Wisdom Healing Qigong)
People might have come in for help with a chronic illness, but they left with a depth and renewed awakening of their spirit that changed their lives in profound ways.
At first, Mingtong went to Grandmaster Pang's Medicine-less Qigong Hospital simply with the intention of finding more inner peace and emotional balance.
Yet, what he got was so much more.
"The main changes I noticed, in the beginning, were emotional. I started to feel more open and more secure — an overall sense of centeredness at first, then a deeper sense of happiness, and eventually, an overall increase in my awareness and emotional capacity. I could feel my emotions return to inner centeredness and inner peace effectively when strong emotions arose — without being suppressed."
And, it didn't stop there.
"I started to notice a new sense of well-being after I decided to make this practice a regular routine. My spine started to open, my breathing became deeper, and my mind started to settle with an inner sense of exploration."
settings
In time, with consistent practice, Master Mingtong healed his asthma and scoliosis completely.
It was incredible.
As he healed at The Medicine-less Qigong Hospital, Master Mingtong watched other people come with every sort of illness and emotional struggle you could imagine, and was fascinated to watch as residents got healthier and more joyful throughout their stay.
As miraculous as this sounds, there's a lot of scientific validation to it as well!

What Graduates of Master Mingtong’s Retreats Are Saying...
settings
"I am not exaggerating when I say that since I began practicing Qigong, I feel I’ve gotten my life back. The difference is that it’s a more joy-filled and awake life than ever. One of Master Mingtong’s many gifts as a teacher is his ability to help students know and trust that chi can heal anything. Now, I also know that the chi can heal anything. I went to Qigong to heal from chronic illness. I did and much more.
"Qigong brings a calm, clear, awakened energy to sitting practice. Concentration becomes easier and more focused and deepest insights seem more accessible. Wisdom, love, and joy come alive as embodied radiance.
"Now, much to my surprise, I am offering it to others who are ill. I also now teach Qigong to meditation students because it is such a powerful support for inner opening and clarity." —Debra Chamberlin-Taylor, Meditation Teacher at Spirit Rock
______________________
"As Master Mingtong says Just Do It! Every day brings new mental or emotional and physical freedom that transforms old stuck patterns into a liberating happy life.
"Physically I would say there has been 95% improvement in chronic conditions that I have lived with for many years and emotionally I am feeling more at ease with life and it’s journey.
"I also realize this is just the first step in a lifelong commitment and I eagerly look forward to following this gentle and life transforming age-old wisdom." —Manuel

"Master Mingtong Gu is one of the bright lights on our planet. Just being in his presence will make you feel better and how he passes on the teachings is very skillful. Being in the presence of a master is always a blessing. I feel very grateful to have connected with his teachings. They will be my companions for the rest of my life’s journey." —Grita

"I joined the Retreat because I wanted to immerse myself in as many aspects of this new life practice as possible since I recently started the online Qigong for Life Mastery Program, last August.
"In this Retreat, I experienced lessening of symptoms of chronic Lyme disease - specifically knee, neck & shoulder, & more range of motion in my ankle. I felt an increased sense of wellbeing & connection (I can feel again), as well as mental stillness and space.
"Now Wisdom Healing Qigong becomes an integral part of my life now — a practice that I can do anywhere, anytime that will continuously bring me back to me, to my essence, to who I really am - happy, feeling better, easy with life and eager for more. It works!!" —Magi R.

"This is profound and life changing! I feel the transformation occurring incrementally in a way that is workable. Tightly constructed mental patterns are being shredded.
"I feel like a Samurai with a sword cutting through the organic molecules that make up those tightly knit patterns; and I start to feel the flow. It is the first time I’ve been able to feel that in my body.
"Master Mingtong said our trauma is collective, that lifted a huge burden off my shoulders. It is not only my trauma, it’s not only my wounds — there's a collective thing that permeates so many areas of the world."
—Laurie

"Everytime Master Mingtong talks, it hits me in different ways: Yes, thank you that's exactly what I needed to hear. How did you know to say that? Including all the metaphors and analogies and examples he uses.
"And all the other teachers too — all these different energies in this Retreat are showing me, "Yes, there is hope, Michael, don't give up, don't give up"...
"Now I see a path to transformation. I see a way. I see true alchemy here on mental physical emotional level. What a gift. What a gift!" —Michael

"Saturday was just a one day Retreat for me, yet it was a profoundly intense experience and I did not expect this from a one day only online Qigong mini retreat.
"It felt like having been under a waterfall having washed away impurities in my physical and energetic bodies,feeling such a deep sense of cleansing and purification as well as a deep sense of peace so much so that I needed to stay in stillness and quietness for the most part of the breaks, having so much to integrate .
"And I later remembered that I have been doing a deep systemic detox of all organs (by the way this was for me the best sound healing I ever experienced ) and I could say I was feeling the cleansing happening in my organs.
"Thank you Master Mingtong so very much. I am looking forward to 7 more days of this Qigong Retreat." —Claude D.

“Day 1 of the online weekend workshop: I AM VERY alive and appreciating every second. Qigong has opened my world to an always optimistic existence. if my body and mind get cranky I do Qigong. It’s automatic. I kick the ass I didn’t see until i learned the practice. I feel the aliveness and the VERY LOUD YES! This is more than wonderful. Thank you for making this possible.
"Day 2: I felt the fire of healing. Haola! I’m at home but I am there with all of you. I'm here AND there! I am reeling. I could FEEL the chi internally ...extreme heat from chi flow. This was extremely powerful.
"We are being guided to pay attention, moment-to-moment. Qigong is new to me every time, because I have not yet met who I am next. My Old Story departs every second.
"Online is fabulous! One heart, one mind — of optimism, highest faith, and confidence that the next 'whatever 'will be good.” —Mary

What is Wisdom Healing Qigong?
settings
QIGONG is a practice, a technology, and an art that applies ancient wisdom, modern science, and the mind’s creative power to transform our lives from dis-ease to health and well-being.
It's a direct and powerful technology to tap into the infinite source of energy — the same energy in the Milky Way — and use this infinite source to transform our physical and psychological conditions for a better, more balanced life.
HEALING is the application and benefit of awakening consciousness and wisdom when we work with energy as the foundational substance of the creative living universe within and around us.
True healing addresses the deepest causes of disease and life's problems beyond simply fixing the symptoms. It requires practice to become aware of and change the limited patterns of mind, body, and heart and to then address those energetic conditions. The result is improvement of health and wellbeing, including the transformation of chronic illness for both the long and short term. Healing also seeks – quite naturally – the deep transformation of the whole person, by realizing the whole unified harmony of the individual within and in relationship to the multi-dimensional unity of all life.
WISDOM is the understanding that arises from an awakening of our perception and consciousness of life. Ultimate wisdom is the ability to know and embody the creative source of the living universe, moment-to-moment. It is our conscious capacity to fully participate in the continuous dance of evolving creation.
WISDOM HEALING QIGONG is a Western expression of the most validated effective form of Qigong, cultivated and refined by Master Mingtong Gu. Its foundations stem from the practice of Zhineng Qigong, founded by Master Mingtong's revered and beloved teacher in China, Dr. Grandmaster Pang Ming.
Qigong is the cosmology (theory) and technology (art) for consciousness to work with creative energy (chi). It is a creative union of consciousness and energy, which awakens the joy-full wisdom capacity of mind, heart, and body.
