The level of significance describes the probability
of producing
this
unusual event by the background fluctuation only when there does not exist any condition to
produce this unusual event.
The lesser the level of significance ,
the higher the probability of
existance a new phenomenon.
The significance
test asks for a thorough knowledge of the background ,
but
it does not
ask for a
big sample
size of the events. A few events of sufficiently high significance
(not
neccessary of the same highness)
is enough
to us
to
assert
that
the new phenomenon
exists
with high level confidence.
This is the case what we meet in the qigong experiment.

to
observe
the
effect
of
qi
on
the
orientation
of
the

is placed 20 cm away from the laser.
The angle between the normal

equal
to
the
Brewster
angle
of
the
glass
(approx. 57°)
.
At this angle only the component of the beam which
is perpendicular
to the
ground
(Ip)
can be reflected by the glass.
The reflected beam
is accepted by a Si photocell,
the photocurrent
is recorded by an autobalancing recorder.
Another Si photocell
is placed 10 cm away from the end of the laser tube to monitor the
stability of the output intensity of the laser.
Let the angle between the polarized plane of the laser beam and the ground be
0.
when
the polarized plane rotates through an angle A 9 under the action of qi

the evidence
that

THE EFFECT OF QI ON THE COUNTING
RATE OF 241 AM RADIOACTIVITY
Yan Xin,

Lu Zuyin, Zhang Tianbao, Wang Haidong and Zhu Runsheng
(Institute of High Energy Physics, Academia Sinica,
Beijing, China)
A series of experiments studying the effects of qi on molecule* was done successfully by
US in 1987.
Then we attempted to study the effect of ,( on deeper level of the structure of
matter,
I. e.
the
nucleus.
The
radioactive
nuclei
were
chosen
as
the
subject
of
our
rnvestigation.
It
is well known
that every radioactive nuclide has
its inherent decay' constant
w
,ch cannot be affected by any external physical or chemical factors in general. So it Is very
interesting to observe whether
it can be affected by qi or not.

emitted by
241 Am
during
its
decay was
detected by
a germanium
detector.
The
signals
were
sent
to
a
8000
channel
buffer
for
on-line
analysis.
This
spectrometer system
is very stable, the drift of
its gain
is less than
0. 06% in 24 hours.
In our experiment,
the test sample
is placed on a table in a room 10 meters away from
the lab of the spectrometer.
Yan Xin emitted his qi to the sample for 20 minutes,
then the
sample was
brought
to
the
lab and
inserted
into
the sample
socket
for measurement by an
experimenter who did not practice qigong
.
6 runs of experiment with 40 times of
qi emitting were conducted within half a year.
Remarkable results were obtained.
The third run gave a typical example.
In this run,
the test
sample was
treated by
qi
for
times.
The measured
counting
rate
of
the sample
after
qi
treatment was apparently
less than
the
rate before
the
treatment.
The maximum decreasing
amplitude was
1. 05%.
The experiment error was only
0. 12%
(including the statistical error
of counting measurement,
0.
1 % and the position error of source in socket,
0. 07%)
,
and
the level of significance a<2xl0 “ 7
.
This result
is of high confidence.
We have continue the measurement for several days and found that the counting rate of
the test sample stably recovered
its initial value before the qi treatment in 11 days the latest.
The most
striking
effect we observed
is
in
the 4th run
that the counting rate of the
qi
treated sample increased to 110% of the value before qi treatment.
It must be pointed out
that
in
4 runs of the experiment,
Yan Xin emitted
his
qi
at a
distance.
These results are rather striking,
but we must not draw a conclusion that decay constant
of 241 Am is changed by qi in haste.
Another germanium detector was used to measure the y-
rays emitted by the test sample in
its backward direction.
If the decay constant was changed,
then
the measured counting
rates
at
the forward and
the backward
directions of the sample
should change
parallelly,
but
practically
it was not the
case,
a phenomenon
similar
to an
anisotropic emission of a polarized source was observed.
Evidently,
this irregular phenomenon is worth further investigation.

A STUDY OF THE EFFECT OF THE EMITTED QI
ON MOLECULES AT A DISTANCE OF 2000 KM
(I)
EXAMINATION OF THE INFRARED THERMAL
jlMAGING SYSTEM
ON TEMPERATURE RESPONSE OF THE EXPERIMENT!AL SAMPLES
Meng Guirong, Li Shengping, Cui Yuanhao, Sun Mengyin,

Beijing, China)
Yan Xin
(Municipal Institute of Traditional Chinese Medicine of Chongqing.
Sichuan province, China)
In the course of studying the effect of the emitted qi of qigong on physiological saline,
glucose solution,
etc,
we have observed that the thermal state of substance
itself changed in
addition
to
the
queer
changes
of
the
molecular
structure
of
the
substance.
To
study
the
mechanism
of
the
emitted
qi
thoroughly,
we have
simutaneously
observed and
tested
the
temperature
response
of
the
biochemical
substance
by
using
the
Infrared
Thermovision
AGA780.
Because the thermovision
is a passive heat testing instrument of two-dimension and
non-contact type,
and
it
is of higher precision and sensitivity,
it
is thus an ideal heat testing
equipment.
During the experiment,
the thermovision and the sample were put separately into two
adjacent rooms.
Eight hours before the experiment,
the sample had been prepared to reach the
sufficient thermal
stability and the
initial temperature
(^orig. )
had been
tested.
Then the
qigong master emitted
his
qi
to the sample
at a remote distance
for 40 minutes to 2
hours.
After the qi emission,
the final temperature of the sample
(''term.
)
was tested.
In the course
of testing,
the 1010 type standard blackbody was used
to
calibrate the instrument's reading
whenever necessary.
There are 12 experimental samples in all,
which are
listed in
r "able
1.
Samples such as
L-tryptophan, serum albumin and vitamine B 2 respond to the ultra-distant effect of the emitted
qi with varying degrees
of temperature response,
the response range
being from
1. 5°C
to
5. 2°C.
Under normal circumstances,
the aqueous solution of these substances is rather stable and
so
is the thermal state.
Temperature responses to the effect of the emitted qi indicate that the
structural changes of these substances are accompanied by the exothermic effect so that
their
own
temperatures
rise.
Conversely,
the temperature change
of the substances
verifies
that

The qigong master emitted his
qi 2000 km away from the sample.
The experiment was
carried
out
four
times
in
all and each
time,
each experiment was done repeatedly
to
times.
Before each experiment, we must do initial condition of the sample.
After the stability of
the sample was
verified,
the sample
in
the
big container was put
into
six
tubes,
three
of
which were used as an experimental group and the other three as a contrast group.
The duration of each qi emission
was thirty to forty minutes.
The experimintal sample
and
the
contrast
sample
must
be
examined
randomly
and
alternately
to
ensure
that
the
analyticcal instrument worked well.
Repeated experiments indicate that the effect of the emitted qi 2000 km away can really
affect the molecular structure of the Rhodamin dyestaff to some extenj.

was sent to another lab
100 meters away and received the emitted qi produced by the master from Yunnan province.
Then
it was brought back
to the
Analytic Centre and examined
together with
the

sample and received tracking survey.
For part of the result,
see the following diagram,

after

If the confidence probability Pc =0.99 and the
allowable probability P T -0. 999 were adopted,
the statistical allowable interval

able
to
be

out
as

x =59. 1 and s=0. 374,
while
the value of No. 6 sample wider action, which was 64. 5, had obviously exceeded this interval
and had
significant difference with the
initial
condition.
The
intensity of
the sample under
action increased with the increase of the time peak intensity and the 350 nm peak
intensity
presented redshift
to
certain
extent.
This shows
that
the emitted
qi has aome

Fluorenscein is a kind of quite stable organic sample.
In the expe: ament,
an ultraviolet-
visible
light
spectrophotmeter was
used
to examine and
test
the charge
of
the
fluoresce
in
sample before and after the action of the emitted qi
.
And a long-time tracking observation
was carried out to see the characteristic of the sample's stablility.
The experimental sample was
the analytical
alcohol.
The
original solution used was an
aqueous solution of
0. 1 N,
NaoH with a concentration of 10 mg/ml.
Four hours before the
experiment,
the sample solution was examined and tested three times.
The spectrum peaks of
the
ultraviolet
absorption were overlapped,
which proved
that
the background solution was
stable and the test equipment was also reliable.
Six test tubes were filled with the background
solution-three of the tubes were put in another building which was 100 m away from the test
equipment
to receive the information
of qigong
,
while
the
other
three tubes were used
as
contrast samples.
Experimental Method;
The qigong
master
acted on
the experimental sample 2000 km
away at an appointed time but he did not know the test method and site,
which freed from the

The survey value within 18. 5 hr.
only
fluctuated
1. 2
units.
If the confidence probability Pc-0. 99 and the allowable probability PT
= 0. 999 were adopted,
the statistical allowable interval
( T ±ks)
of some individual survey
value could be worked out as
31. 4-37. 8 by means of the
essential background parameters
n_9 ? V =34. 6 and s= 0. 426.
It's very clear in Table 2
that value of No. 3 has exceeded
this allowable interval and the difference
is very sharp.
The absorption intensity of value of
No. 7 has increased 53 per cent relative to the average background value.
This
is enough to
show
that
the 2000 km
ultra-distance
of
the emitted
qi can
affect
the
properties
of DNA
molecules.
It has been observed that after the qigong master has stopped emission of qi
,
the
colour-increasing effect can
still
last for a long time,
which indicates that the emitted qi has
some after-effects.
The mechanism of the ultra-distance effect of the emitted qi and the effect
of the emitted qi on DNA structure have yet to be further, studied.

In
this experiment,
We used a ER 200/D electric paramagnetic
j resonance spectrometer
(EPR).
The sample we used in this experiment was a powder mixture of AgBr.
It was necessary to check the empty tube of the sample before the experiment.
Then,
we
took out the sample without exposure to light ,
about
1 0 g ,
from
the container
in which the
sample material was kept
(the container was in a refrigerator)
and we divided the sample into
four parts.
Initially one was placed into a tube and checked by EPR,
if no signals appeared,
then we
exposed
the sample
to room
lights
for
ten
seconds,
again
checked
it.
If
signals
appeared on the screen,
it indicated that the original sample was effective.
The other three
parts were samples for the experiment.
They were wrapped up with a piece of black paper,
then sealed up with adhesive tape to ensure tightness and exclusiveness,

The
experimental
samples

kept them
for
thirty minutes before

Each
time,
the emitted
qi was given for 30-40 min.
and we took the samples
immediately after
the cessation of qi emission.
With the EPR we detected for
its free radical and its structure.
The experiment was done on January,

;
From the experiment,
we can see the remote applying of the emjitted
qi can excite the
free radical of the samples and can be checked by EPR,
the result
is similar to the effect of
the free radical being excited in the exposure to room light.

Thymine
is a very common thymine derivative.
It
is
a kind of base which compounds
DNA,
and DNA
is the carrier of genetic information.
So thymine solution
is a typical sample
in research of the action of the emitted qi on matters.
In the experiment,
we used an
ultraviolet-visible spectrometer
to check the
ultraviolet
absorption sepectrum of the samples,
meanwhile we used a themovision to test the temperature
change.

the ultraviolet absorption spectrum and checked them once every 14 hours
(See Table 1)
.
It
indicated that the sample at ordinary temperature is very stable.
Experimental Method;
The spectrum and
temperature
of
the sample one hour
before
receiving
the emitted qi was firstly tested.
Then
it received the emitted qi at a far distance for
about one
hour.
Finally we checked
the temperature
of
the sample which had received the
emitted qi and checked its ultraviolet absorption spectrum.
The rate of increase of the two samples reached 24. 2% and 11.
E % respectively.
At the
point where
the
characteristic wavelength was 270 nm,
the absorption
intersite
of
the two
samples reached 9.8% and 5.1%
respectively.
The corresponding temperature changes are
listed in Table

The rate of increase of ultraviolet absorption intensity is called hyperchromic
effect,
it is because variation appears in a molecular structure.

,
to provide a quantitative physical scale
for indicating
the strength of the emitted
qi for experimental
studies of the effect of
it,
we measured and
analyzed the infrasonic waves from the
qi emitted by qigong masters.
The test which was done by an infrasonic testing system made in Denmark was conducted
in a noiseproof room in the Institute of Sound and Electronics under the Ministry of Electronic
Industry.
The background noise in the room was lower than 30 dB (decibel)
.
The microphone
was hung in the air over Laogong (P 8)
,
the distance being 2 + 0. 5cm with no contact.
Twenty-seven qigong masters were put to the
test. Among them twenty-four were males
and three were females.
Their ages ranged from 20 to 53 years old.
The period of practice of
qigong
ranged
from
to
years.
While
on
testing,
the
patterns
of
qigong
were
not
restricted.
Noti-qigong
masters
were
used
as
controls.
The
tests
were
done
during
the
daytime.
The tested persons lay on their backs in a noiseproof room,
breathing quietly.
The experiment tested the release of the emitted qi
at Laogong (P 8)

Special attention was paid to the test of Laogong

Beijing, China)
“Mind control is the core of the qigong exercise. ”
“Mind can control the motion of qi
Although most of the qigong exercisers have an intimate knowledge of these points,
there
still
lacks of the scientific evidence.
In this paper the effect of mind-control was investigated by an
infrared thermovision image.
1.
Experimental design and instrument;
According to the phenomenon that qigong exercises can produce the infrared effect,
the
subjects were divided into five groups.
Group A.
The qigong exercisers emitted qi from the head and face through mind-control.
Group
B.
Non- qigong
exercisers
emitted
qi from
the
head and
face
through mind-
control.
Group C.
Hands of non-qigong exercisers in normal state were measured.
Group D.
Qigong exercisers emitted qi from the hand through mind-control.
Group E.
Non- qigong exercisers emitted qi from the hand by mind-control.
These five groups were measured in the same condition and by the same instrument.
The
purpose of the experiments
is
(1)
Supply more evidence of the infrared effect produced during
qi emission ;
(2)
The
qi adjustment by the qigong
exercisers
is stronger than by the non-
qigong
exercisers;
(3)
To measure
if the non- qigong
exercisers can emit
qi
or
not.
The
Model AGA 780
Infrared Thermovision Imager which we used
is an instrument with higher
sensitivity,
accuracy
and
resolution.

CHAOS AND FRACTAL OF THE HUMAN BODY I

The human body
is a complex system.
In recent years we have studied the human body
science by
nonlinear
science and
the

chaos
and

We have found that D 2 saturated at n = 3-4.
This means that the qigong signal has low
dimension strange attractor behaviour.
One can use about 5 equations to describe the dynamics
of the human body.
The chaos and fractal characteristics are universal in nature and society.
We have also shown that the structure and functions of the humaif body also have fractal
characteristics and infinite series of similarities called Functional Structure Holography.
From the theory of coincidence
of. the human body and heaven ,
it
is also expected there
should be some chaotic sources in the universe which have the correlation dimension equal to
that of the human body and which should
also saturate
at n = 5.
The
“resonance”
of the
chaotic signals between the human body and heaven and between the hi man bodies may be the
theoretical basis of qigong exercise and medical qigong
.
Recently,
people have found that the
electromagnetic radiation from the solar system has the strange attractor behaviours with D 2 =
3.
and
the
correlation dimension
saturates
at n = 4-5. So we
expect
that
the
correlation
dimension of qi in the qigong state should be D 2 =3. 5.
In connection with qigong we have also studied the strange functions of the human body.
We have made the following hypothesis;
Qi has a super ability to produce living matters or to
solidify nitrogen;
the brain has a squeezed state with super sensibility;
the time and space also
have fractal structure and infinite self-similarity.
To understand qigong and peculiar functions
of the human body
,
a whole new theory
might be essential. We call
it “the human body and nature as an integrated one,” which deals
with tachyon and super quantum effects with h-*-oo. A new constant might be needed. When
e=0 the relativity theory and quantum mechanics can work

SCIENCE OF VITAL MESSAGE AND QIGONG
Gu Hansen, Wu Dumin (The China Vital Message Institute, Shanghai, China)
In
the coming
age
of
vital
science,
the
focal
point
of
medical
science
will
shift
to
Chinese
medicine,
of which modernization of qigong is a trend of word history.
1.
Nonstatic mass matter verified.
Several famous physicists of the 19th century,
namely Faraday,
Waxwell and Hertz led
a great revolution in physics,
proving the existence of electromagnetic wave,
a nonstatic mass
matter
(energy
matter
in
brief)
.
Electromagnetic wave
is an
expression
of
materialistic
movement.
It proves that every static mass matter
(mass matter
in brief hereafter)
always
accompaies
certain
specific
natural
resonant
frequency.
The
discovery
of
dualistic
correspondence between mass
matter and energy message thoroughly broke through
the
old
concept
that only
visible and
touchable
things
are
material and outcomes
of
the
spetacular
world of message of today.
Nevertheless,
physics
is
still
in general a science for the
lifeless
world.
2.
Energy message dualistically corresponding to orderization of matter.
The development of the disequilibrium therm^dynamitics theoretically has built a bridge
between physics and
biology.
It,
in the
first time,
explained
the
relationship between
the,
living body and message,
or dualistic correspondence of the living body with vital message.
The
living body by acquiring negative entropy becomes
itself
orderized
at higher
order and
thus gain development and evolution,
though no report of practical applications has yet been
seen.
3.
Science of vital message and qigong-
Biology and Western medicine based on postmortem anatomy have already developed to
the
molecular
level
which
brings
about
unprecedent
improvement
in
the
development
and
evolution of the living body,
disease curing and
life prolongation.
However, so far in general
it
is
still
limited
in
the
interreaction between
the
living body and
static mass matter.
The
effects of nonstatic mass on the development of the living body are
still overlooked.
(1)
In te'rms of the human body
life corresponding to the complex message system,
the
authors,
after experimental tests, on the material basis of the emitted qi, reached a conclusion
that
as
so often
said by
ancient people
is nothing but
‘field’
of modern
science and
‘shape’
is tangible matter of
static mass by
all sorts of modern scientific measurements from
naked eyes to electron microscope. When a person falls
ill,
it must be some unbalance of his

yin and yang
. Two ways of readjustment can restore the balance of yi i and yang
.
One
is to
readjust
yin
.
It
is
the way
of Chinese
pharmaceutical
medicine.
Here we may
call
it the
medicine of yin
.
The other
is to readjust yang to restore the balance cf yin and yang by the
qigong therapy.
Here we may
call
it medicine of yang for the time being.
In this sense,
the
oriental medicine seems to be much dialectical than the Western medicine.
The essense
is how
to recognize the material world in a comprehensive way , though merely qualitatively.
Therefore acusthesia vision,
language,
thought,
emotion and knowledge are all matters
stored
in
the human
cerebral
cells
in
highly
orderized modes,
just
like sound
and
vision
recorded in magnetic molecules of a cassette in orderized mode. When aging and finally death
occur
the
orderization
gives way
to
disorderness
in
the
cerebral
cells.
The energy-message
system degenerates and
finally
loses
its
' function.
No matter how you define death,
at
the
moment of death,
the
loss
of body mass
in
general
is not quick,
but
the
loss
of energy-
message
is significantly quick. A dying man cannot hear,
see,
talk and think,
and can no
longer receive any message from outside.
After all these,
then,
there will be the destrction of
the
body
mass.
Therefore
it
is
thriving
and
declining
of
the
vital
message
that
chiefly
characterizes the vitality of the living body.
2.
The
qigong
state — qigong message—the
orderization
of
specific
parts
of
the human
body—physiological effects.
Through the experiments
the authors found various produced different messages.
Since
different
messages
dualistically
correspondent
to
different
forms
of
orderization,
therefore
various qigong exercises
always direct the human body to produce orderization in differnt parts
and
strata
of
the
body,
and
then
macroscopically
manifest
different
biological
effects
analogous to different medical treatments to cure various diseases.
3.
Science of vital message and scientifization of qigong
.
Science of vital message
is a branch studying the quantitative exchanges of bio-messages
between the living beings and their environments.
Since
the
messages
of
energy
mass
dualistically
correspording
to
various
sorts
of
orderization in
the
living body ,
it
is
possible
to gather
vital messages
of specific
parts and
strata from the living body of fine variety and
at robust age,
and
to transmit them
to the
living body
of the same kind and
at different stage of
life in order to revivify
its own
vital
messages,
especially
reinforce
the
orderization
of the
living
beings’ robust years,
so
as
to

health and change
the

These
collected therapeutic messages were inputted into the
vital message -therapeutic
instrument designed by Ku Hansen,
the other author of this paper,
in the middle of 1980*,
The instrument was patented with a type number SMS-OS and used by more than a hundred
units.
Several hundred thousand person-times have been treated with this instrument..
Reports
show no side-effects appeared and quite a lot of difficult and complicated diseases were cured,
e. g.
improving the vision of patients with senile cataract and audition of patients with senile
deafness,
recovering the function of pancreas
cells,
recovering the liver
cell from necrosis,
repairing the hurted bone
tissue suffered from cancerous bone tumor,
imporoving lymphatic

improving immune function
of the three systems,
improving microcirculation,
increasing
blood
flow
in
the
coronary

raising PO,

etc.
These
examples prove how
the
vital
messages
control
the
orderization
of
the
living body,
which
macroscopically
present to be controlling
physiological
functions for the purpose of curing
illness and prolonging life.
Science of vital message
is the product of this epoch.
Vital message controls orderization
of the living body and macroscopically controls the physiological functions of the living body.
This
idea
through
recognition
and
emphasis
will
bring
about
tremendous
progress
to
the

of mankind.
An unprecedent magnificent vital-message
industrial revolution
will

take
place
as
the
result
of

between
the
living organism and
the

world—the
interaction between

It
is much
essential
for qigong
to promote towards a higher
level
in

Qigong

will play an important role in preserving health

In theory,
the difference of the
: result of the photography
is directly caused by the amount of the static current on the body
surface, the organic resistance, quality of the film and the air humidity.

A STUDY OF THE “DURATION AND DEGREE”
OF THE SMALL QI CYCLE QIGONG
I
Ren Zhengxin et al
(Jiangxi Chinese Medicine and Pharmacy Institute,
Jiajngxi province, China)
The term
“duration and degree”
refers
to the condition in which the qigong exercise
is
practised.
The
“sensation
of
qigong ”
in
the
part
of
the
bocjy involved
in
the
exercise
is
induced by thought,
breath,
etc.
The
“sensation of heat”
is common! yi found.
By means of
analogy and comparison,
the ancients compared the duration and degree in exercising qigong to
the duration and degree
of heating
bricks
in 'a burning
kiln.
The duration and degree
is an
important theoretical and practical issue.
It
is a secret that any alchemist would not pass on to
other people.
It's more than 2000 years since the term
“duration and degree”
appeared in the
book Zhou
Yi Can Tong
Qi
.
On
the
basis
of
the alchemy and with
the
help
of
current
psychological and
physiological
theories,
the
theory
of biofeedback and
scientific
electronic
techniques,
we have developed a
“ qigong exercise indicator”
.

interior feedback of the qigong
exercise with the theory
of exterior biofeedback.
It employs
the skin temperature difference (STD) between Dantian and Sanyinjiao (Sp 6)
as an objective
index
to evaluate
the
duration and
degree.
The
kinetic changes
of
the
skin
temperature
at
these two
acupoints
are
determined
simultaneously
with
a numeral thermometer.
The STD
lights up an indicator lamp with every
0. 3°C difference.
Using this apparatus we tested three
groups of subjects.
In Group A the subjects practised small
qi cycle using this apparatus,
in
Group B the subjects practised the samll
qi cycle qigong without using this apparatus,
and in
Group C the subjects did not
practise the small
qi cycle qigong
,
but
sat
silently with
their
eyes closed.
The results were as follows.
In Groups A and B,
the STD between the above two
acupoints significantly increased with the duration of the exercise,
reaching a relatively steady
level after 15 minutes.
In Group C the STD showed no significant alteration at any time,
and
the STD
value was
significantly lower
than
that
of Groups A and B
(P<0. 01)
.
This
suggests
that
practising
the
samll
qi
cycle
qigong may
increase
the
skin
temperature
at
Dantian,
thus increasing
the STD between Dantian and Sanyinjiao (Sp .6).
But the STD of
Group A was significantly greater than
that of Group
B.
This shows that
this apparatus can
increase the effects of the small qi cycle. We tentatively take an STD of
1. 2°C as a relatively
appropriate degree for the small
qi
cycle.
In Group A,
this degree was reached by practising
the small
qi cycle qigong
for about a month on the average,
but in Group B the duration of
more than three months
is necessary for reaching the same degree.
Group A was significantly
faster than Group B.
This suggests that this apparatus can accelerate the effect of the small qi
cycle.
From
these
results,
it
is
suggested
that
this
apparatus
is
a
useful
supplementary
instrument for practising qigong
*
It. can resolve problems such as long duration and difficulty
in attaining the appropriate degree in practising qigong
.

We
have
discovered
the
following
phenomena •
(1) The “emitted qi ” stopped the discharge or made the period of discharge longer.
(2)
The qigong master had no sensation of getting an electric shock when he emitted his
qi near the discharge space.
Nevertheless when he stopped emitting his qi
,
he had the
sensation of an electric shock if his hand was still near the discharge space.
(3)
In the restraining process,
a
series of
restraint and discharge,
such as restraint-
intermittent bursts of discharge—restraint sometimes appeared.
We
recorded
the
crackling sound
of
the
discharge
with
a
recorder
and measured
the
changes during the period of discharge with a FFT analysis system CF-920.
Table 1
lists five
typical periods of successive discharge.

We selected various light sensitive plates which were wrapped in a piece of black paper.
The qigong master emitted his qi at the emulsion layer of a light sensitive plate.
The distance

way and the control plates were developed in the darkroom under a green
light. We got the
following results;
(1) The colour of the controls was darker than the affected plates.
(2)
After development,
white speckles,
various patterns or orderly stripes appeared on
the affected plates.
(3)
The white speckles were clear when the plates were pre-exposured.
In the best one
the image of fingers and the Laogong (P 8) could be seen clearly.
Infrared radiation cannot penetrate the black paper,
whereas high energy particles cannot
develop white speckles.
The process of exposure
is an ionizing process in which an electron of
the ionic bond of hiloid silver
is moved away.
That
is the discharge process. We may explain
the exposure of the light sensitive plate as being caused by the restraint of discharge.
3. The emitted qi can change the counts on the Geiger Miiller counter.
We have obtained a
large number of data by
testing the emitted
qi
of more than 200
persons.
Before a
test we would record automatically the background of the Geiger counter.
By
statistical
analysis we
can
prove
that
the background
in
a
time

follows
Poisson's distribution with an average value k.
In
the
tests,
the palm
of
the qigong
master was
5 cm away from
the
counter.
The
duration of emission was 200 sec.
to 10 min. We made a data processing test of the measured
discrete-time order x (n)
using various
digital
filter and frequency spectrum analyses,

original
state.
All these changes can be assumed
to be caused by actions of a certain matter
(or energy)
given off by the naturally gifted men or qigong masters.
The natural instinct of
I
which
is still unknown. We call the matter the
“emitted qi ”
.
Detailed study of the action of

on
matters
has
profound

and

prospects to various modern sciences.
This paper
discusses the
effect
of the emitted
qi on
silicon

state.
The
Si
single
'
crystal plates or
Si single crystal plates that had been single-sided covered with amorphous
Si
was put into hermetically sealed glass bottles as subjects of the peculia
' function of a naturally
gifted man.
Their crystal structure was analyzed before and after the treatment.
The

curve
of X-ray's

that
hadn't been

treated.
From the
silicon
plates which were acted on by the emitted
qi
we. found three
plates
!
which had become oriented microcrystal.
In order to be prudent,
by the end of 1987, we reanalyzed the structure of plates A and
B.
To our surprise,
these two plates restored their original single crystal structure.
To have a
better understanding of the effect,
seven days after the plate
(C)
was analyzed we traced to
examine
it and found that
it had become single crystal as (A) and (B).

With reference to

we think the change of the single crystal to oriented microcrystal as a kind

of “soft change”.

were received.
However,
some microwave signals with frequency

The temperature
increase
of

in Baihui
(Du" 20)
and Laogong
(P

was
recorded with a microwave radiometer.
Infrared thermovision
(X
:
8-1 4km)
demonstrated
that when
the qigong performance
started ,
the temperature of the face gradually rose
to a stable
level.
As soon as the qigong
performance stopped,
the temperature of
it quickly returned to normal.
The
visible
light around Baihui
(Du 20)
was not observed by a luminometer
(10
Lux.
)
.
With a low light level night vision instrument
(X
:
0. 38-0. 8 pm)
a special luminous
phenomenon,
a halo around Li's head was seen once.
At the same time the visible light was
also found around Dantian.
This luminous phenomenon lasted about eight minutes.
The
results suggested that a human body in the qigong
functional
state radiates
certain
wavelength microwaves,
infrared radiation and low visible light.
A STUDY OF THE MECHANISM OF THE EMITTED QI
Guo Yinglan, Geng Xindu and Mi Juanceng
(Northwest University, Shanxi province, China)
Many
studies
of
the
physical and
biological
effects and
the
clinical
practice
with
the
emitted qi have been reported.
The aim of the study in this paper
is to look into the material
basis and the mechanism of the emitted qi by chemical methods.
It includes three aspects;
(1)
Thermal efficiency of the emitted qi on various chemicals;
(2) Effect of the emitted qi on the
biological activity of enzymes;
(3) Effect of the emitted qi on the conformation of proteins.
1. Thermal efficiency of the emitted qi on various chemicals.
Acetone,
ether and absolute alcohol were poured into three 25 ml.
flasks respectively,
and then were acted upon by the emitted qi from three qigong masters,
A,
B and D.
After a
few minutes,
it was found that the temperature of each chemical rose to some extent.
With
statistic evaluating,
we found a linear relation of the logarithm of the change in the caror ific
value Q of each chemical to the distance S from the flask bottom to the qigong master's point
Laogong (P 8).
The linear relation appeared in nine experiments out of twelve.
It
is very interesting that for the three chemicals ,
each slops of this kind of plot ,

lgQ vs.
S,
keeps a constant,
if the source of the emitted qi
is from the same qigong master.
,
Therefore,
an
equation
to compare
the two
values Q and S
sepal ately
is
got
through
a
!
|
comparison between the qigong master and non- qigong master.
;
Q _ e
0. 434(bs+a)
i
Where
“a”
is a constant relating to the thermal efficiency of the chemicals on which the
emitted
qi
acts;
is an
attenuation
coefficient
reflecting
the
decrease
in lgQ
with
the
increase in S.
And,
the larger the b value,
the slower the attenuation
:*ate
is.
It was also found that the emitted
qi
is not a thermal current,
it
is a form of energy,
which can transmit in
air and through
glass.
The thermal efficiency
is only produced by the
interactions of the emitted qi and the receivers.
2. Effect of the emitted qi on the enzymatic activity.
The
activity
of
saccharogenic
amylase
was
proved
by
receiving
twelve
times
of
the
emitted qi of the three qigong masters,
B,
C,
c.
The result was got by statistic method.
The
activity of saccharogenic amylase was decreased when they were acted on by B and C, and the
maximum
value
was -20%
.
But when D
acted
on
it
for
three
limes,
the
activity
of
saccharogenic amylase increased and for once
it decreased.
The maximum was 10%. When D
acted on a-amylase,
the
activity of
it changed
too.
Substrates,
pH values,
temperature,
allosteric
effect,
activator,
inhibitor,
etc.
were
the
influenial
factors on
the
activity
of
enzyme.
Since all the experimental conditions were controlled
strictly,
the only cause for the
change in the activities of enzymes in the study comes from the change? in the allosteric effect
of each enzyme.
3. Influence of the emitted qi on the conformation of proteins.
To prove the possibility that the activity of protein may be changed by the emitted qi
,
we designed experiments of high performance liquid chromatography
"HPLC)
.
Rigid cation
exchanger was chosen as the stationary phase and many salt aqueous solutions with a suitable
pH value were chosen as the mobile phases.
Results showed the decrease in tr
(retention time)
of lysozyme,
when the emitted qi acted on the column,
or the column oven,
or the sample
solution in a tube directly.
The decreased range of
its activity was over -3. 5%
to -17. 5%.
The fact elucidates that the emitted qi has an ability to pass through the wall of the stainless
column,
then
it
interacts
with
protein
and makes
the change
in
its
conformation.
When
cytochrome C received the emitted qi by the same qigong master,
t r became obviously longer.
The
corresponding
increase
in Z
value, A Z,
was
1.49.
The phenomenon
explained
the

total munber of the cation and the anion released from the contact interface

THE PHENOMENOLOGICAL MODEL OF
HEALTH QIGONG AND ITS APPLICATION TEST
Liu Beisheng (Chengdu Branch, Chinese Academic of Science, Sichuan province, China)
Wang Guoheng
(Affiliated Hospital, Chendu University of Science, Sichuan province, China)
From a global point
of view,
qigong
is divided
into two schoots,
Chinese Qigong and
Indian Yoga.
In turn,
Chinese Qigong
is divided into three
parts-
Taoism,
Buddhism and
Confucianism. Among them,
Taoist Qigong
,
in particular,
embodies the national features of
the Chinese Qigong.
There are three intensions in the Taoist Qigong
,
including medicinal and
food arts,
sex arts and guiding arts.
According to its functional effect,
qigong can be divided
into two kinds-Health Qigong and Extrasensory Qigong
.
Health Qigong
plans
treatment
according
to
a
diagnosis
on
the
basis
of
the
patient's
condition,
physique and
personality
etc.
The
general
principle
is
quiescent qigong
for
yin
syndromes,
dynamic qigong
is mainly used
for yang syndromes.
Most chronic diseases and
difficult
complicated
illnesses
can
be
cured
by
combining
the
two
patterns
of
qigong
.
Beginners
practise
qigong
in an
initial
state
of
consciousness.
First
he must make mental
preparations,
then he will conduct mind-body self-regulation
(self-regulation of the mind,
of
the body and of breath)
.
If the method
is right,
the state of qigong
including relaxation,
calmness and increased intelligence will be reached.
If you cannot persist in practising for a long ime,
you will return to the
initial state of
consciousness.
So, only by long-term practice can you benefit from qigong
.
The
phenomenological
features
of
the
regulation
of
the
body
and
mind
may
be
summarized as follows;
1.
The regulation of the mind is the key point,
and the regulation of
the body and breath are subordinate to
it.
2.
The regulation of the mind aims
at enhancing
exchange of nonsensational information and restraining exchange of sensational
information.
3.
Potential communication between the top of the head and the perineum is established within
the human body
(small

it
refers
to
getting through
the

magnetic
field of the human body will have coherent resonance with the ELF wave band of
the earth's electric magnetic fiels.
The author proposes to establish a reversed bio-holographic law.
An entire organism can
be
taken
as an
enlargement
of a
part
of
it.
The human body
can
be
looked
upon
as an
enlarged brain.
Such corresponding relationships of the form,
development and function can
be found as follows-
skin-cerebral cortex,
the two sides of the body-cerebral hemispheres,
top of head—lobus frontalis,
perineum-hypophysis,
navel-hypothalamus,
navel cord-pons,
medulla oblongata.
On the basis of the above listed,
an
artificial stimulation system of qigong was invented
by the author
in 1983.
This apparatus
is to make biofeedback stimulation to the interrelated
positions of the human body,
indirectly influencing and changing the function of the brain.
It
can
help 95%
of
the
beginners
quickly
get
into
the
state
of
relaxation,
and 5%
of
the
beginners establish the small qi cycle or majar qi cycle within a week.
It has a good auxiliary
effect on over a hundred kinds of chronic diseases and complicated cases.
This apparatus has
been made in the People's Republic of China and put in
clinical application in more than 300
hospitals.
After Dr.
Shan Tunghsu, who is the originator of the N. W CHI-KUNG Reseach &
Training Center bought our invention,
he
started
the CHI System
International,
LTD.
in
Taiwan.
The machine was named the Chinese Health Qigong machine
(the fourth
artificial
stimulation system of qigong )
.
It
is suitable for home-use.
It has been well accepted by
all
circles
in
Taiwan
and
has
ushered
in
a new
chapter
of
the
cooperation
in
science
and
technology of qigong between the mainland and Taiwan.
THE MECHANISM OF QIGONG—MAGNETIC RESONANCE
Ma Jiannan (Technology Institute,
- Hongkong Chinese University , Hongkong)
Qigong
is a kind of frequency energy,
which can be affected by the strong magnetic
field and stored in the human body and released by
it. When we are doing the basic exercise
of qigong
(e. g.
cycle movements with hands
in front of the abdomen) ,
we are using the
blood in the hands,
the blood cells in the blood and the magnetic matters in the blood cells to
crosscut the magnetic line of force of the globe.
As a result,
there produces the direct current
and magnetic
field when the frequency of the cycle movement
is
0. 3-0. 7 Hz,
and a numb
feeling appears in the hands.
This kind of qi sensation
is neither
electric current because the
feeling will disappear when the cycle movements are accelerated and the frequency is over
0. 7

Hz,
nor
magnetic
field
because when
the hands
are
placed between two
pieces
of
strong
magnet,
no such feeling occurs.
The author thinks that
it
is a feeling caused by the magnetic
resonance.
There
is a coincidence between the qigong phenomenon and the mechanism of the
magnetic resonance when one
is practising the basic exercise of qigong
. A human magnetic
field with an appropriate frequency
is produced,
which can cause the water
in one's hand
to
have
nuclear magnetic resonance
(NMR)
.
The
and
3C
are
orderlessly arranged
in
the
body, but after the qigong exercise through the automagnetization,
a magnetization state
f
j
|
|
appears.
At
this moment
if there
is an energy coming from outside,
the frequency of
H
which
is correspondent to the formula of nuclear magnetic resonance v = r^
,
the magnetized
ZJt
water may absorb the energy and there occurs the magnetic resonance state
f
|
f
|
|
f
|
f
.
v
is the frequency,
H c
is the
intensity of the external magnetic
field,
y
(rotatory
magnetization)
and 2n are constant.
The weaker the magnetic field
is,
the lower frequency
Water and
organic compounds
are
considered
as
the media
for
the magnetic resonance
force,
flowing
in
the
body.
The two* hands may guide
its
travelling course because
in the
qigong
exercise
the magnetic resonance
first occurs
in the hands;
it can
also flow from the
place where
the
strongest energy
stores
to
the
place where
the weakest energy
stores.
The
disabled,
weak,
diseased and aging organs would absorb the energy passing through them and
get rehabilitated.
In
general,
energy
of
infrasonic wave band
is
emitted
to
treat
patients
in
the
qigong
therapy.
It can cause the magnetic resonance of the water and protein
in the body.
Patients
tend
to absorb the energy emitted from
others. A
slight hot sensation of the patients can be
confirmed by an
infrared thermograph and
far-infrcred
detector.
But
this
is
the secondary
energy generated by concomitance,
because man-made temperature increase cannot bring the
curative
effect
of
qigong
.
The energy
of magnetic* resonance may
be
originated from
the
magnetic resonance elements of the cells—
lH
,
13C
,
1SN
,
31P
,
etc. When the condition of
the magnetic resonance changes,
the magnetic resonance ceases because of the unbalance of
the NMR formula,
and
these elements have to liberate the absorbed energy of the magnetic
resonance,
some of which would be absorbed by the cells concerned to strengthen the activity
of them.
When
the supply of the energy of the magnetic resonance discontinues,
the extra
activity of the cells terminates,
and then the far-infrared energy of high frequency
is liberated
by them.
The wavelength
of
the
secondary energy
is
related
to
the diameter
of
the
cells.
Various peak spectrum diagrams of the infrasonic wave band are seen when the qigong masters
are
emitting
their
qi
since they
practise
different
patterns
of
qigong
exercises and
there

differed intensity of magnetic fields.
It explains the curative effect to different organs.
From the above analysis we can say that there
is a third energy ether than food and air
for
the human
beings.
The
qigong
masters
are
able
to absorb
the
inirasonic energy
of low
frequency and emit high frequency energy.
The theory of human magnetic resonance not only explains the fundamental phenomena
of qigong
,
but also moving objects by qigong
,
meridian travelling course and the Bermuda
mystery.
Some of the manifestations present
in the qigong
exercise should be expounded not
only by the magnetic resonance,
but by the magnetic induction capacity,
superfluidity and
rearrangement of crystals.
The research of the human science in future will stress the following aspects:
1.
Treating
diseases by frequency;
2.
Training qigong pupils with the superconductible magnetic field;
3.
Training
the
. peculiar
function
with
the
reverse
magnetic
pole;
4.
Developing
qigong
instruments
based
on
the
mechanism
of
the
magnetic

Doing away

with
the mechanism
of
qigong
;

Exploring
the wisdom
of
the

creatures
according
to
the
religious
legends.

the
task
of

at
present
is
to

ACHIEVEMENTS OF ANCIENT CHINESE
MEDICAL QIGONG
Ma Jiren
(Shanghai Research Institute of Qigong .Shanghai, China.)
It
is believed that Chinese qigong has a long history of 5, 000 years..
In the course of
its
development over thousands of years,
qignog has absorbed and incorporated various kinds of
exercise
theories and methods
in
all
fields
beneficial
to
the mind and body,
prevention and
treatment,
intelligence
and
prolongation
of
life.
Therefore,
a
great
number
of
qigong
exercises
have
been
created
and
used
for
therapeutic
purpose,
which
brings
valuable
information to the theory of traditional Chinese medicine and contributes positively to medical
care of the neonle.
Being a Chinese unique cultural legacy,
qigong
is a self-applied exercise for the health of
mind /body,
which was
gradually
devoloped
by
the
ancient
Chinese
people
in
their
long
practice in
life and labour and
in
their prolonged struggle against disease and
senility.
It
is a
branch of clinical science of TCM as well.
It was in remote antiquity that the sprout of qigong
appeared in people’s daily
life.
According to the literature and information concerned as direct
or
indirect envidence,
we can
find
that
the
origin
of qigong
is
closely
related
to
clinical
practice.
It was recorded in ancient books that at the time of 2, 500 B. C.
, the Central Plains
of China was
in flood and dampness was extremely
violent.
As a result,
there occured skin
numberness and
joint stiffness among
the
local
people.
In order
to relieve these conditions,
people there consciously selected dancing movements
as a kind of treatment,
Hence,
these
dancing movements are regarded as the earliest dynamic qigong
.
“The Classic of Internal Medicine”
describes 5 kinds of therapies formed due to different
geographical
locality
in
remote
antiquity.
One
of
them
is
Daoyin
(similar
to
dancing
movements)
developed
in
the
central
part
of China and
is
taken
as
the
ancient
qigong
.
Daoyin was
the name
of a
therapeutic measure
of qigong
in
the
5th century
B. C.
.
In a
broader sense,
Daoyin contains the whole contents of ancient qigong
including the quiescent
and dynamic qigong
;
in a narrow sence
it refers only to the dynamic qigong
.
Viewing from
the
literature,
specialistic
practitioners
were
trained
for
different
medical
branches.
The
ancient qigong which was also called Daoyin was among these measures.
The use
of the ancient qigong
in treatment and prevention was recorded extensively
in
ancient books.
In the 7th century,
these records were systematzed in a large scale and taken

into the noted medical book
“Treatise on
the
Etiology and Symptomology of Diseases”,
in
which 260 qigong -practising methods are available,
applicable respectively to 110 syndromes.
In “Collected and Classified Ancient/Current Books, Volume of Medicine”, qigong
, as one of
the
therapeutic methods,
was
applied
to
the
treatment
of a
great number
of
diseases
in
viscera and the body surface as well.
In addition
to the application of a certain qigong exercise particular instruction was also
given
to patients according
to
their conditions and body
constitution.
R ch experiences have
been accumulated in this aspect.
AN EXPLORATION OF THE TRADITIONAL
NElDAN METHOD
Song Tianbin
(Beijing College of Traditional Chinese Med: cine,
Beijing, China)
The Neidan method has always been regarded as a mysterious skill
o:: the Taoist School,
the purpose of which was not only
to preserve health and prolong
life,
lowever,
when we
remove
its mysterious veil and look at
it from the point of view of modern medical science,
we
find
that
the
traditional
Neidan method
is
indeed
a
kind
of
qigong
exercise
for
the
treatment of diseases,
preservation of health and prolongation of
life.
The Neidan method of
qigong
embraces
the
three
basic
elements
of modern
qigong
regulation
of
the mind,
breath and body.
In addition,
its complete theoretical and methodological system is the core of
the Chinese science
of qigong
,
a summarization of
all
the various schools of qigong
.
The
exercise
of
qi
circulation,
which
is
regarded
as
an
advanced
form
of
qigong
by many
practicers,
is the basis and typical feature of the Neidan method.
Works on alchemy contain useful experience and records of experiments,
but they also
contain deliberately mystifying things and various pretexts.
Therefore,
if they were accepted
without
discrimination,
.the
practiser
would
easily
be
led
astry.
Take
the
exercise
of
qi
circulation for exemple.
If the practiser believes that
it can provide such wonderful effects as
eternal life,
ascenking to Heaven,
body duplication and transformation,
access to fairyland,
and
rejuvenation,
if
he
improperly
pursues
such
effects,
he may
result
in
psychological
disorders. There may be abnormal and
painful
sensations,
or
functiona:
disturbance
of
the
vegetative nervous system.
In severe cases the victim may become psycho ;ic.
Even
if nothing
goes wrong,
excessive desire will lead to useless comsumption of
qi and mental fatigue with
hallucinations instead of healthful effects.
Ancient works on alchemy,
in
'act,
recognized the

possibility of such dangers and maintained that the practiser should have a proper purpose and
lead a simple,
quiet
life.
With a proper understanding and application of the Neidan method,
such dangers may be avoided entirely.
Historical
records and
actual
experience
all prove
that
the Neidan method undoubtedly
has a health-protecting effect.
The exercise of qi circulation,
for example,
has at least three
advantages :
First ,
motion
is placed under control and breathing
is regulated
,
so
it
is easy to
void one s mind of other thoughts and go into a trance.
The physiological processes affect the
psychological processes,
resulting in a healthy mental state of calmness and pleasure with no
desire.
The body and mind
is adjusted to the optimal state so that the person'
s intelligence and
capability
are
better
than
usual.
Secondly,
self-implication
is
put
into
full
play.
Mental
control
is
achieved
through
a
great
variety
of
measures
which
affeet
and
regulate
the
physiological
processes.
It
is inferred that
the metabolic processes may be improved through
the auto-regulation
of
the neurohumoral regulatory system,
as
the
result some biochemical
reactions and consequently the aging process may be slowed down,
whereas certain functions
may be activated to maintain youthful vigour and exploit potential energy.
Thirdly,
the body
and mind receive all-round exercise with an emphasis on protecting health.
The mind,
breath
and body are regulated
together.
The essence of
life,
qi
,
and
the
spirit are
all
adjusted.
Stillness and motion are combined with the former as the basis.
In other words,
the body
is
still outside yet moving inside, and absolute stillness causes motion.
It has been proved by modern experimental studies that the physiological indexes showed
marked changes after practising the exercise of qi circulation.
It was observed in the Beidaihe
Qigong Sanatorium that there was no statistical difference between an experimental group and
a
control
group
before
practising
the
exercise,
whereas
after
practising
the
exercise
of
qi
circulation for two months,
the respiratory rate of the experimental group during the qignog
state was
significantly slower than
that
of the
control group,
the
cerebral blood flow was
markedly decreased, and the temperature at the Mingmen (Du 4) and Qihai (Ren 6) increased
by an average
1°C.
It was observed at the Jiangxi
Institute of Traditional Chinese Medicine
and Pharmacology
that
in
ten
persons who
practised
the exercise
of
qi
circulation
the skin
temperature at the lower elixir field,
Juque (Ren 14),
Jiaji (Extra 21)
,
Mingmen (Du 4),
Yintang (Extra 1)
,
and the bilateral Laogong (P 8)
increased markedly during the exercise as
compared
with
the temperature before
the
exercise,
whereas
there were no changes
in
the
control group.
This shows that the psychological activity of controlling one’s thoughts has an
actual physiological effect.
It
is not just a heat effect ;
it has a clinical therpaeutic effect as
well.
It was reported by the Beidaihe Qigong Convalescence Hospital that among ten patients

suffering from chronic diseases, two were cured,
seven improved markedly, whereas only one
did not respond after practising the exercise of qi circulation for two mon;hs.
According to the
past experience,
the
patient
suffering from
gastroptosis who
did not
respond
could
also be
cured
if the course of treatment was prolonged for another 3-5 months.
r Tie Zhejiang Institute
of Traditional Chinese Medicine and Pharmacology reported that the exe rcise of qi circulation
at Mingmen (Du
4)
can be
used
to
treat
cancer.
Other experiments
show that during
the
exercise the appearance of the feeling of meridian conductivity
is markedly higher,
increasing
from
21. 3 %
to
42. 5%.
This shows
that
the
circulation
of
qi
in
the body
in
the Neidan
method is a natural phenomenon during the period of exercise in which the feeling of meridian
conductivity appears,
and that
it
is nothing mysterious.
At present very few experiments have
been
conducted
in which
the
exercise
of
qi
circulation was
observed
directly,
but many
experimental
studies on the regulation of the mind,
breath and body conducted
in the
past
have indirectly proved that the psychological and physiological effect of the Neidan method
is
authentic.
However,
it
is not easy
to attain such
effects as described
in
anciect works
like
long period of fasting,
extremely slight respiration,
hibernation,
etc.
So
it
is not difficult to
understand why the Neidan method has for thousands of years been regarded as a mysterious,
advanced form of qigong exercise.
If we peel away
its superstitious,
religious covering and look through the mysterious veil,
it
is
absolutely
possible
to
understand
its
mechanism
from
the
point
of
view
of modern
science.
This would help in avoiding untoward effects and
in achieving early success.
From
the
point
of view
of modern anatomy and physiology,
the
position
of
the
elixir
fields
are
precisely the location of the important nerve centers and endocrine glar ds,
such as the lob us
parietalis and lobus frontalis of the cerebral cortex,
the hypothalamus,
he medulla oblongata,
the spinal cord,
the celiac plexus,
the pituitary,
the thyroid,
the thynus,
the gonads,
the
adrenals and other glands of the digestive system.
These organs are essential to
life and may
be regarded as life centers.
On this basis we have designed a short-cut to the modern Neidan method, namely,
direct
psychological training of the neurohumoral regulatory system to affect physiological activities
with paychological processes.
The actual procedure
is first to draw a coloured anatomical graph
showing the position of the important internal organs of the neurohumoral regulatory system.
Then the ancient method of looking and thinking
is employed.
The pnctiser first looks at the
graph,
and then tries to visualize
it in his mind with his eyes shut,
repeating the process for a
number of times and gradually prolonging the period of recalling the image with the eyes shut.
Finally the anatomical graph
is reconstructed in his own body so that when he visualized the

image in
his mind,
it
is as
if he could see his own internal organs clearly.
Then accompanied
by
light music and inducing readings from
a
tape,
the mind concentrates on
the following
locations successively:
the testes,
perineum and coccyx
the lumbar region of the spinal
cord
and
the
adrenal
glands
the
thoracic
region
of
the
spinal
cord
and
the
medulla
oblongata—-— the hypothalamus and
pituitary—— the lobus
parietalis and
lobus
frontalis of
the cerebrum and Yintang (Extra 1)
the tongue,
parotid glands and sublingual glands
\
the thyroid,
thymus,
ear and lungs
the stomach,
gallbladder and pancreas—the ovaries
and the vegetative nerve plexus in the abdominal and pelvic cavity.
The mind should concentrate on each location for three minutes,
making a total of about
30 minutes before the second cycle
is
started.
The
practiser may maintain normal breathing
and
simple
concentration
of
the mind,
or,
after
a
period
of
training,
use
a method
of
breathing
peculiar
to
the Neidan method
in which
qi ascends
via
the Du
Meridian
during
inhalation and descends via the Ren Meridian during exhalation,
quickly passing through the
aforementioned locations.
But
it
is better not to imagine
sights and pursue the sensation of qi
in
order
to
avoid
the
possibility
of
such untoward
effects
as
functional
disturbances.
The
practiser should concentrate his mind so as to go into a calm,
natural state of quiescence.
The
purpose of the
exercise
is
to prevent
diseases,
improve health and slow down aging process
instead of pursuing
the
feeling
of meridian
conductivity.
Only when beneficial physiological
changes
appear
can
it
be
said
that
qi
is
really
circulating smoothly.
Without such
changes
there
is
just
imaginary
circulation.
To
be
sure ,
imaginary
circulation
is
helpful
to
the
circulation of qi
,
but a proper degree of the imagination
is important.
It would be difficult to
attain success with an excessive or insufficient degree of imagination.
A STUDY OF THE ACHIEVEMENT OF HEALTH-PRESERVATION
BY QIGONG IN THE “ESSENTIALS OF HEALTH KEEPING”
Han bin, He Deguang and Hou Wei
(Institute of Acupuncture and Moxibustion, China Academy of Traditional Chinese Medicine , Beijing , China)
"Essentials of Health-Keeping”
is a treatise published before the Sui Dynasty (581-618)
.
The book has lost,
but some of the information recorded in
"Zhubingyuanhoulun”
("General
Treatise on the Cause and Symptoms of Diseases”).
1. According to the analysis of the system of health-preservation since the Jin Dymasty,
the content used in the quoted passage in the
"General Treatise on the Cause and Symptoms of

Diseases”,
and the style of the original work,
we think that the part of qigong
in the book
was quoted from an independent work,
the " Essentials of Health-Keeping.
The publishing year and the author of the book has been unknown at any times.
Based
on the features of the age and the relationship between the work and oth^r documents,
it
is
thought
that the book was published
in the year
aften
the completion of
the
"Collection of
Cultivating Disposition and Life Prolongation”
and before the
"General Treatise on the Cause
and Symptoms of Diseases,”
or between 456-610 AD. Many scholars considered the author
was Chao Yuanfang. My study doesn’t agree with the idea,
but Chao certainly did a
lot of
work in quoting the documents.
2. The
"Essentials of Health-Keeping”
recorded rich knowledge of qi$nog
. My study has
summarized the following aspects,
such as the basic theory of health-preserving,
the effect of
qigong
,
patterns
of
exercises,
the
knowledge
of
exercise,
the
application
of
qignog
,
indications of the qigong therapy, and the rules of treatment.
(1) The basic theory of
health-preserving
by qigong
i Qigong practice in the "Essentials
of
Health-Keeping”
was
guided
by
the
basic
theory
of
traditional
Chinese
medicine
and
distinctive
views
on
the human body,
creating
its own
theory
of
health-preserving.
The
extensive combination
of qigong
and
the
basic theory
of
traditional Chinese medicine
in
the
book displayed
the
following
aspects,
such as
yin-^yang
,
five elements,
zang-fu organs,
meridians,
points,
life essence,
qi
,
blood and body fluid.
In addition,
the book had taken
the Dantian theory and the theory of ascending, descending, opening and dosing.
(2) The knowledge of the mechanism of qigong
:
It was held by tie book that qigong
could regulate the function of the zang—fu organs,
qi and blood to expel diseases.
(3) Patterns of qigong exercises;
The statistical analysis tells us that there are about 270
kinds of exercises
listed in the book and the majority of them were abou; the dynamic types
(accounting
for 94.5%),
including Daoyin
,
breathing exercises,
standing posture,
ect.
These all belong to the schools of medical qigong
, Taoism and Buddhism.
The study has sorted out the practices of exercises
in terms of mine -control ,
breathing
and physical exercises,
(a)
Mind-control can be divided into four kinds according to different
psychological features.
They are imagination,
self-implication,
sensation feeling and concern
of
respiratory movement;
(b)
Respiratory
exercise
includes
natural
breathing,
abdominal
breathing,
breathing in and out through the nose,
breathing in through the mouth and out
through
the
nose,
breathing
in
through
the
nose
and
out
through
ths
mouth,
stopping
breathing,
ect;
(c)
The physical exercises are summarized;
(d)
The
relationship between
breathing,
physical exercises and mind-control
is expounded.

knowledge of exercises; The process of exercises, volume, time,
direction,
etc.
were
recorded in the book.
(5) Applicafion of qigong
:
It
is for the purpose of prevention and treatmeat of diseases,
delaying the aging process and improving looks.
(6) Indications of qigong
;
About 241 kinds of diseases could be treated by qigong listed
in the book, covering the internal medicine, surgery and gynecology.
(7)
Principles of treatment;
There existed the concept of selecting the pattern of exercises
based
on
differentiation
of
syndromes,
i. e.
based
on
the
condition
of
cold
and
heat,
deficiency and excess.
3.
After sorting out the confext of the book and from the angle of history of qigong
,
we have made a comparison between the book and other
literature before and after
it
, and
believed that the book kas made six outstanding aspects;
(1)
Preserving health by dynamic qigong
.
(2)
Health
protection,
disease
expelling
and
longevity
the
purpose
of
practising
qigong .
(3)
Collecion
of
essentials
of
each
school,
patterns
of
exercises
in
detail
and
rich
knowledge of exercises.
(4)
Unified scientific thought.
(5)
Selecting the patterns of exercises based on differentiation of syndromes.
(6)
Enlarging the range of indications.
Through
the
analysis
of
the above-mentioned,
we would say
that
the book
is
a very
important treatise of health-preserving by qigong
,
it has the effect of forming a connecting
link between the preceding and following in the history of the development of qigong
.
4. Conclusion.
The book was completed around 456-610 AD and the author
is unknown
to us.
It
is rich in centext and provide the necessary materials for our study of the history of
qigong
,
the exercises and theory of
it.

Nowadays,
qigong has
drawn attention from the whole world.
The next century will belong to qigong
•
Qigong originated from the orient.
Both Chinese qigong and Indian Yoga have a history
of about five thousand years. They are the products of oriental civilization.
Yoga,
one
kind
of
Indian
traditional way
to
keep
the body
fit and
preserve health,
utilizes a philosophic thinking which creates a harmony between “self”and ‘Fan”(Supernature).
The
purpose
is
to
seek
for
enjoying
high
position
and
living
in
ease and
comfort
that
is
“without death and
birth,
without thinking and
desiring. ” The main schools include Jnana
Yoga,
Kama Yoga,
Bhak Yoga,
Hatha Yoga,
Raja Yoga.
Kundalin
Yoga and Tan Tra
Yoga.
Its exercising principles are Yama
(concentration)
,
Niyama
(good personal hygiene)
,
pranayama (regulating breath)
, pratyhara (isolation from environment)
, Pharana (high mora
standard)
,
Dhyana
(speculation)
,
Samadhi
(being silent)
.
Its chief practicing methods are
Pranayama or meditation.
Bodily posture,
Shat Karmas,
Kundalin
nisakti and so on.
The
mechanism
of
its
effect
is through
regulating
the
diet. Yoga
exercise and
using
daily
living
knowledge properly restore the body' s normal function and maintain the body' s homeostasis.
Chinese qigong
is one
kind
of
traditional method
to
preserve heath.
Its
philosophical
thinking
is
that
of the
corresponding
relation between
the human body
(bodily
structure,
physiological phenomena,
pathological changes,
etc.
)
and mature.
The purpose of Chinese
qigong
is to seek for “She Shan Yang Qi”
(preserving the health,
keeing the energy)
,
Gui Zen
Fen Bu”
(everything
returns
to
its
original
natural environment) ,
“Qiang Shen
Zhi
Bing”
(exercising
the body and curing disease),
“Jian Shen Yu Di”
(Strengthening
the body and
warding off the enemy)
.
Its main schools include Confucian,
Taoist,
Wushu
,
medical and
folk qigong
.
Its training principles are to cultivate one’s morals, calm oneself without desiring
and
rest
to
attain mental
tranquility and
preserve
health according
to
i
“Tie ”
(religious
discipline)
, “ Ding ” (calming and collecting oneself) and “ Iluei ” (wisdom,
training ways)
.
It
is achieved by regulating the body’s function,
controlling breath,
smoothing the mind,
making the inner energy active,
coordinating between
vital energy and blood,
dredging the
meridians, balancing yin and yang
.
The

attempts
to make
a
comparative
study
of
seven
aspects
between
Chinese
qigong and Indian Yoga.
The results demonstrate that both have many
similarities including
their historic origin,

“Kundalini Yoga. ”
The earliest records of Kundalini’s Qi Mai theory of India was in the 17th
century,
and that was just
as, the flourishing 'time of the Ming Dynasty of China,
Zheng He
went to the
“Western ocean”
(around Indian ocean)
seven times. He once arrived at Guli of

(the southeast

carried some Chinese medical works there,
among which,
probably some were the works of Chinese qigong

we know,
the
“Meridians and the theory of ” Qi Ilua Lun are similar to the seven
acupoints of the Ren-Du Meridians,

Chinese
characteristic played an

Indian Yoga
basically derived from
a single school (entity)
,
while China qigong has
essentially three schools,
namely “ Ru ”,
“ Shi ” and

The three schools are always
interrelating and combining; then new methods are created through these combinations.
PROMOTING QI FLOW ALONG THE TRAVELLING
COURSES OF MERIDIANS
Li Ding(China), Chen Zhongxing (Indonesia)
The so-called “ Guan Qi ”
or promoting qi flow method
is a basic exercise in which the
mind
is closely combined with respiration,
and assisted by the postures of hands,
conducting
the qi to make full exchange between the internal milieu of the human body and the external
surroundings
of
nature
by
means
of
respiration.
Then
the
“ Guan
Qi ”
exercise
along
meridians
is the same method as mentioned above,
but
it
is characterized by pushing the qi
along the courses of 14 major meridians in the body.
With this exercise the automatic control
system of the body can be enhanced,
the protective adjustment in the brain
facilitated,
the
sufficient respiratary exchange in the lung maintained,
and ample exygen supply provide for
the
internal
organs and
tissues,
especially
the
brain,
heart and
kidney.
Moreover,
this
exercise
can
be
also
used
to
correct
the
deviation
and
discomfortability
occurring
in
the
practice
of
qigong
If
this
method
is
performed
facing
trees
and
flowers
in
a
quiet
environment with fresh
air one to three times a day,
10 to 20 minutes for each time,
with
the practice of 100 days,
beneficial results will be obtained especially
in the middle-aged and
old
people
suffering
from
chronic
diseases.
The
keypoint
for
attaining
good
result
is
unremitting practice.

Performance;
The
qi
is conducted from the centre
of the sole
to ascend simutaneously
and the body straightens up.
The qi arrives at the perinium where
it enters the spinal column.
Travelling upward,
it penetrates the diaphragm to connect with the pericardium.
From the
chest,
it runs
to the hands along the Pericardium Meridian of Hand- Jueyin.
At
this time,
arms spread out from one body-inch lateral to the nipple with the middle fingers straightened

ZHIYI’S CONTRIBUTIONS TO THE THEORY OF
BUDDHIST DHYANA-SAMADHI THERAPY
Chen Bing
(Centre for Religious Studies, Sichuan University, Chengdu, China)
The Dhyana-Samadhi
of Indian Buddhism began
to be introduced
to China by An-Shi-
Kao, an eminent Buddhist monk of Parthia, who lived in the closing years of the Eastern Han
Dynasty (25—220).
By the end of the
Northern and Southern
Dynasties (420
581),
Chinese Buddhists had not only acquired basic knowledge of various ways of Dhyana-Samadhi
in both Mahayana and Hinayana which were then popular in India and Central Asia,
but also
embarked on a stage of summing up,
sorting out and creatively developing the theories of
it.
Zhiyi
(538—591),
the
founder
of
the
Tiantai
Sect,
benefited
from
the work
of
his
predecessors and became
the most prominent
in
the
study and development
of the Dhyana-
Samadhi theory.
In his
“Ski Cham Bo Luo Mi Ci Qi Fa Men”,
“Zhi Gmn” and “Mo Ke ard Xiao Zhi Cmn”
,
Zhiyi explained separately three ways of cultivating Samatha-Vipasyana in detail?
among them
was Dhyana-Samadhi therapy.
On the basis of summing up both the theories from India and
the experiences gained by the Chinese Dhyana-Samadhi masters,
and assimilating the Chinese
medical
science,
qigong
in Taoism
as
well
as
folk
medicine,
he expounded
the Dhyana
Samadhi therapy in terms of symtoms,
causes and treatment of diseases, and provided a rather
systematic theory of Dhyana-Samadhi therapy.
In symptomatology and
diagnostics,
Zhiyi
classified
all
diseases
into
four
types :
1.
Diseases of Caturmahabhuta
(the four principal elements?
earth,
water,
fire and wind)
,
as
taught in Indian Buddhism?
2.
Diseases of the five sense organs (eye,
ear,
nose,
tongue and
body?
3.
Diseases of the five internal organs
(heart,
liver,
spleen,
lungs and kidneys)
,
as
taught
in
traditional Chinese medicine?
4.
Diseases due
to
six emotional
disturbances.
He
enumerated symtoms of each ,
advised those who practised Dhyana-Samadhi
to learn how
to
feel
the
pulse
in
Chinese
medicine
and
diagnose
their own
diseases by
hallucinations and

dreams they have while practising Dhyana-Samadhi.
Zhiyi summarized
the cause of
diseases mentioned
in
Buddhist Scriptures and
classified
them
into six groups;
unbalance of Caturmahabhauta ,
improper
dirt,
inability
to regulate
one’s body,
mind and
breath
in
practising
of Dhyana-Samadhi,
and
to overcome
ghosts,
demons and karma.
He held that the first and second groups should be treated with medicines,
the third,
fourth and fifth by Dhyana-Samadhi and the last group by means of psychotherapy
(e. g.
confession)
.
He insisted that one should surely dispel and cure
all diseases as long as
one practised Dhyana-Samadhi diligently in the right way.
Therefore,
he called
it a treasured
therapy by which one
could
cure
oneself
of
all
diseases
without
paying
or
suffering from
taking medicines.
Zhiyi classified the ways of Dhyana-Samadhi therapy into six groups;
1.
Focusing one'
s
mind on one part of the body,
e. g.
on the acupoint Dantian,
feet cr the diseased or aching
part;
2.
Producing the sounds of the six Chinese characters chui
,
(Oft),
hu (B^),
xi
( U® )
,
ke
’ and
(W)-
Each of them corresponds to one of the five internal organs.
One chooses the right character relating to the diseased organ and produces in imagination the
sound of
it while one
is sitting quietly practising Dhyana-Samadhi,
until the disease
is cured.
This has its origin in Taoism;
3.
Regulating breath.
If one trains Dhyana-Samadhi by starting
with counting one’s breath,
one should suit one’s counting of exhalations or inhalations to the
feelings
in
one’s body
while one
is
sitting
quietly.
In
addition,
there
are twelve ways
of
breathing
regulation
(bringing
up,
bringing
down,
accelerating,
filling,
increasing,
destroying,
cooling,
warming,
bursting through,
holding up,
harmonizing and enriching)
,
each of which cures one kind of disease;
4.
Imagining
in a
definite
situation,
e. g.
those
suffer from
cold
diseases may imagine
fire and those who suffer from general
debility may
imagine warm cream dripping into their bodies from the crowns of their heads and flowing to
and moistening every
part
of
their
bodies;
5.
All
diseases
will disappear when
one’s mind
enters a state of void and tranquility after one
fails in introspecting ar d examining oneself to
find the substance of the mind;
6.
Folk medicine,
such as
twirling Dantian,
beating the
aching part with a rod and dispelling diseases by means of chanting
ir cantations.
However,
one must examine their effects and employ them with great caution.
For more than a thousand years,
Zhiyi’s theory of Dhyana-Samad li therapy has not only
been employed by the Chinese Buddhists of different sects,
but also exerted a great influence
on Taoism,
traditional Chinese medicine and qigong
.
His restoring the unbalance by Dhyana-
Samadhi,
focusing one’s mind on Diantian and the diseased and aching part,
“six-character
therapy” and cures for general debility have been absorbed by Taoism and qigong
, and widely

employed in qigong and medical circles up to now.
QIGONG AND BUDDHISM
'
Domyo Miuya
(Sine-Japanese Qigong Academy)
Nowadays
in China,
qigong
is
being
intensively
studied by many
scholars
in various
fields as an old yet new branch of medicine.
In
Japan,
too,
interest
in
qigong
is now
gradually
heightened,
and,
as
people
are
brought to demonstrations of qigong
,
even the most sceptical are greatly surprised and eagerly
become engaged in the research work on the subject.
It
is said that qigong originated from Taoism and Buddhism.
However,
in
the Chinese
medical classic
“Huangdi Neijing” or
“Classic of Internal Medicine”
and
“Lushi Chunqiu”
or
The
Spring
and Autumn
Annals”
it
can
be
observed
that
a
consideration
of
qigong'
s
methodolody was taken up in search of therapy by the authors of these old books.
From
this
fact,
I deduce that qigong
, Taoism and Buddhism have developed their own history separately
and in parallel rather than being orginated one from the other.
Various attempts of medical and scientific analysis have been tried on qigong to find
its
substance,
but
I think
it will take some time to verify its hypostasis.
As
a
religious man,
I
think
it
is more
important
for me
to
analyze
qigong
from
a
religious perspective,
particularly from that of Buddhism as opposed to a medical or scientific
analysis of qigong
.
In my view qigong originated separatedly and in parallel to Buddhism.
I
feel very strongly that
I should pursue an analytical study from the view point of Buddhism.
The exercise
patterns of qigong and
its mind-control are
quite similar or almost the same to
Mijiao Shan
(Esoteric Zen Buddhism)
which I personally am preaching.
In addition to this,
I
can
find many points of similarity between qigong and
the
“GOKAJI”,
a mystical prayer
conducted by powerful ascetics.
Mijiao Shan preaches that the body,
mouth and mind power
are three important elements of attaining to perfection.
Illness can be cured by such practice,
and I have had numerous examples cured by Mijiao Shan.
The
difference
between
Mijiao Shan and
qigong
is
perhaps
the
absence
of
prayer
in
qigong
.
Qigong
is
normally
conducted
in
front
of
a
patient
while
Mijiao
Shan
can
be
effectively performed regardless of the distance between the patient and the one offering the
prayer.
Some people may not
believe
this,
but
it
is a
fact
that cannot be denied.
The qigong

treatment performed from a distance of several metres,
and the Mijiao Shan prayers that are
from longer distances, can be found very similar in principle.
How
is the Mijiao Shan perfomed?
It
is performed by those well- practiced ascetics that
inherit the competence from
their
masters,
the
“ Yizhi ”
(a manual
or
instruction book)
contains such instructions as expressions of the hands
( Yin ),
ways of concentrating mind
and ways
of
breathing.
These
physical performances
are found very
similar
to
the qigong
ways of practice.
Take one example*
both
qigong and
Mijiao Shan
try
to concentrate ones mind
in
a
relaxed bodily state* using similar kinds of “ Yin "* expressed by the hands.
I am sorry that due to limited space,
I cannot explain this to the reader in detail,
but
it
is a fact that the strength of the alpha wave emitted from the brain
is enhanced when Yin
is
added to the meditation.
" Zhenyan ”
or incantation that
is uttered from the mouth are many.
The most famous
of all,
and the one that
is said to be most effective
is “Namakusamandi,
bodanan un shitchi
sowaka”
.
When you say
this prayer seven times in one breath with a concentrated
state of
mind, you can solve any problem that you
face and you can attain anything that you wish.
I have disclosed the secret words of Zhenyan
. My intention of doing this
is
to
tell the
reader
that the deed
of
uttering
these words
is exactly
the same
as
that defined by Alexis
Carrel,
the Nobel
prize
winner.
“State
of mind
which
is
spiritually
agitated by
spoken
mystical words,
and in which the absolute world and univereal
principles are unified by the
consciousness. ”.
This,
I think,
is the same as the
state of mind when a GOKAJI performance
is being
conducted by monks.
Buddhism
is based on the thought that
“all are rooted in one”*
and
it deems the human
society a
small
universe
as
against
the
big
universe which
is
the
root
of
all phenomena.
Buddhism preaches that the energy with which the big universe
is filled,
can be realized as the
“ q i ”
#
therefore,
therapy by
“ qi ”,
not only the internal qi but also emitted qi can
fill the
patient with the energy of the universe.
Should qigong
,
the therapy of the
qi be reinforced
with
the
consciousness
mentioned
above*
it
would
certainly
be
more
effective
in
curing
diseases.
Because the human being possesses a power of the mind*
the activity of the soul
is
much stronger than the qi which
is the essential power source of qignog
.
Supposing the energy or
qi
is the combined strength of electro-magnetic power
,
infrared
rays and distant infrared rays that work on the flesh,
the energy of mind may be an unknown
supernatural power that works on the mind of human beings.
It
is therefore suggested that the

study of qigong should not only be the study of the effects of qi
,
but
it should also include
the study of the mind.
If
it
is so requested,
I will make public the practice of Mijiao Shan to
show people that phenomenal effects can be seen in the common alpha wave zone both in the
qi and the mystic power of the Mijiao Shan.
ON TRADITIONAL RELIGIOUS QIGONG AND
ITS MEDICAL APPLICATION
Takashi Tsumura (Kansai Qigong Society, Japan)
1.
Ancient medicine began from magical healing concerning with shamanism.
Generally
the history of medicine
is written orientating
“from magic to science”,
but this model shows
only one side of truth.
“ Zkuyou "(healing by declaration)
Yijingbianqi ”(a kind of drama-
theraphy)
in ancient medicine is really rational and scientific from the viewpoint of modern
paycophysical medicine.
Rather ,
trends of the thought that separate mind and body ,
or illness
and
life in medicine of after ages,
have doubtful problem.
It
is the reason why the ancient
medicine is regarded note worthy again recently.
2.
the
oriental
medicines
have
developed
in
relation
to
interdependence
and
interpenetration with religions.
For example,
ancient Indian medicine and Hinduism or Indian
Buddhism,
traditional Chinese medicine and Taoism
or Buddhism,
and,
Japanese
oriental
medicine
( KANPO”) and Shinto or Japanese Buddhism.
3.
Simply speaking,
the purpose of medical qigong
is mainly
“balance of yin-gang ”
.
But religious qigong wants high spiritual awakening.
The theme of finding inner divinity and
purifiing body spoiled by real desires in Buddhism,
is equal to
“seeking after pure yang ”
in
Taoist qigong
.
The purpose of medical qigong
is support and recovery of health,
but
it cannot
interfere with the patient’s inner spiritual
life or a view of value.
The religeous qigong studies
how to live.
But,
from the view of psycophysical medicine,
in case the patient has a feeling
of sin or unusal tension,
healing of his
illness
is very
dificult.
That
is,
scientific medicine
steps into the field of religious qigong in the new stage of development. We need a study of
the religious qigong from the new standpoint.
4.
Chinese
religious qigong
contains Tao-Sheentao lineage and Buddhist
lineage.
Taoist
qigong
seeks
after
“eternal
life”
.
But
this
“long
life”
is not equal
to long
life
in medical
meaning.
It means seeking after pure yang
, over limitation of physical body.
Zhuagzi,
rather,
criticized the attitude that grasped his given life by cosmos as his own,

and the desire earnestly to enclose or increase
it.
Shentao ,
way
of hermits,
created Neidan
school
in
the time from
the Tang
to Song
Dynasties.
It means “the development of inner medicine” and seeking
after the unity of mind
and psychological control by consistent image movement.
In modern
times,
Hu Yaozhen
arranged and
opened
this
system,
and
applied
it
to
medicine and martial arts.
On the other hand,
quiescent qigong of Zhuangzi was revived by
Chen Yingning.
It
is effective to healing neurosis.

The Buddhist qigong contains MIJIAO (esoteric Buddhism),
especially Tibetan esoteric
system and stream of Chan (Zen,
Japanese)
.
Tibetan qigong seeks after unity with cosmic
lifetide
directly.
It
has something common
in
this
point
with Neidan
in
spite
of so many
differences in concrete method.
Chan has also common field,
it created various high techniques for mind-body control as
Zhiguang (concentration and contemplation).
The religious qigong
has more refinded and
experienced mind control
methed
than
medical qigong
.
Also
in
medical
qigong
,
“ Rujing ”
(enter
a
.ery
quiet
state)
is very
important for having effect,
but in this field,
they seek for control of image,
check of over-
work of mind and deepening quality of “ Rujing ”•
In
this
process,
the
most
important
things
are
the
develpement
of
intuition
and
imagination through the liberation of the right side of the brain,
and reviving balance of the
brain through control
of overwork
of
intellectual centre and activation
of feeling centre and
life centre.
7.
In
Japan,
also,
we
can
find
quiescent
qigong
,
dynamic
qigong
,
spontaneous
qigong
,
healing by
qigong
and
high
technique
unification
of m nd and
body.
And
after
introduction to Japan, Chan has much developed as an effective psychological healing.
Toward the traditions like these,
we want to study the assuming attitude of
“abandoning
refuse,
taking essence”. But,
for the human study in the new age or holistic medicine, we can
not
judge
it
in
the
field
of
accomplished
science,
but
connect
it
with
recovering “black
science”,
namely
the
tradition
of
Tao
science
from
the
ancient
times.
We
want
the
reconstruction of modern
science.
For example,
yi
(divination)
contains richly the theory
concerning with the relationship between mankind and
its environment,
and Chan or Neidan
is ,
as they are, high psychophysical science.
The
religious qigong
will open
the path
to
future
medicine by
its
totality
of grasping
human themselves.
