The immune system's defense mechanisms can be affected by environmental pollutants and become progressively weaker and weaker. Epidermal and other cells may be destroyed and as the immune system breaks down the person will gradually become allergic to substances which previously caused no difficulties. c) The person's digestive system may not be fully functional. Undigested food materials may then accumulate in the lower intestines leading to auto-intoxication and allergies. Whatever the specific cause is, however, the key factor appears to be a weakening of the body's natural defense mechanisms. This is consistent with the statements in the “Classic of Internal Medicine”, which emphasizes that when the q2 is weak in the body there will be illness. A person will be prone to iliness when the qt level is low. Treatment Recommendations; Strengthening of the spleen, liver, stomach and lung systems is essential for treatment. The spleen and stomach systems provide general health for the body. By strengthening the q? , the liver system clears toxins from the. body while the lung system strengthens skin cells and provides general protection for the body. Strengthening all of these systems together will improve the overall immune system. Using the emitted qi of qigong in combination with acupuncture increases gi, which will help the function of the internal organs and improve the immune system. Gradually the intensity of allergic reactions will decrease and substances will cease to be allergens. The “Classic of Internal Medicine” stated that if the body is full of qi, diseases cannot invade. This is consistent with the field of modern wholistic medicine. In conclusion it can be stated that food allergies can be successfully treated and also cured | in many cases by. using the techniques of the emitted gz and acupuncture.

But this does not mean that qigong has been practise in those days. In the last 30 years, ° however, the interest of Western physicians in TCM has grown tremendously, especially acupuncture therapy is used now by many German doctork, From their visits to China, Germans received a deep impression of the Chinese people phactising Tatjiguan and gigong in the early morning hours. The statement that these exercises are not only for health preserving but also for treating severe diseases seemed to be surprising, Since gigong has its roots in the concept of TCM as well as ancient Chinese philosophy , it has been difficult for German physicians to understand what qigong is about. Some translated gigong just with “breathing exercises,” some have been confused about the huge variety of gigong exercises, Fortunately the scientific exchange among the Chinese and German physicians made a big Progress and so some German physicians have the opportunity to study with excellent gigong masters. Referring to the academic exchange there was the “Week of Chinese Medicine, Munich 1984”, where Prof. Jiao Guorui gave excellent lectures and demonstrations on qigong therapy. In 1988 Prof. Jiao Guorui was invited to the University of Bonn for a 2 months research visit. During this time he gave lectures at the Universities | lof Colon, Bonn and Mainz. On the Medical Conference on Natural Healing about 70 German physicians practised the “15 postures of Tai jv” developped by Prof. Jiao Guorui. Beside the “15 postures of Taiji” the most known qigong exercises in Germany are “8 Brocade exercises”, “18 Exercises” and “Crane-Qigong”. Certainly we are at the very beginning with the introduction of gigong to our medical system. But the first experiences with the application of qigong therapy are very encouraging. | There are some difficulties to apply qigong therapy to German patiehts. It is not easy for them to understand that an exercise which seems to be very simple, for example, “standing like a pile” can cure diseases. It is hard to believe that the same exercise can influence different diseases. It is difficult to practise gigong with the required petsistence and patience not looking for quick tesults. But many patients who overcome the first difficulties gain confidence in gigong very quickly because they can experience the improvements in health and well-being. Some case reports of patients who suffered of chronic diteases (like stomach disorder, lumbago, constipation, asthma and neurasthenia) for many’ years show that the Western physicians can learn a great deal from the Chinese cultural heritage of qigong therapy. * 160+ Approved For Release 2000/08/15 : CIA-RDP96-00792R000701080001-1

Hence it is very interesting to detect the gi field by modern scientific means. On Oct.9, 1987, the famous gigong master Yan Xin was giving a lecture on qigong , Wang Yaolan, one of the authors, used 4 pieces of LiF thermoluminesence detector (TLD), a kind of radiation dosimeter, to try to detect the gi field. To our great surprise, the Lif TLD gave very strong reponses to Yan Xin's qi field. Dosage measured (mr) TLD + ‘ Control, three hours in Background of Three hours during . the same hall during a film TLD the lecture show ” LiF(Mg, Ti) 3.9 51.0 9.5 ° LIFCM, Ti) 3.5 62.6 5.8 There were two isotopes of Li, "Li and ° Li. Mg and Ti were impurities added to LiF crystal. ’ LiF TLD was sensitive to y rays only and ‘ LiF TLD was sensitive both to y rays and thermal neutrons. The measured dosage was calibrated to 60Cor rays. Since the size of the LiF TLD used is very small (8330.9 mm), you can put them anywhere at will, and the electromagnetic field has no influence on its registration power. It is very appropriate to use them for qz field distribution measurment. In Octobher 1987, we measured the distribution of gi field during Yan Xin's lecture for four times. All gave remarkable results. The following is a typical example; Date and place; Oct. 21, 1987, Hong Qi Jie Assembly Hall Duration of measurement; 35 hours The qi fields of two other gigong doctors are also measured.

But if we investigate the problem carefully; we will find that all the qigong experiments can be divided into two categories. Experiments designed for discovering new qigong effects belongs to the first category and the experiments designed for finding the laws of the effects belongs to the second. Up to now, most of the experiments are of the first category. Two different methods of statistical treatment are related to these! categories. The method of significance test is usually used for the teatment of the experimental result of the first category. According to the level of significance of the experimental] event, one can easily discriminate the true gigong effect from the false appearence which arises from the background fluctuation. ; Let yp be the average value measured of a physical quantity Xe If x obeys the normal distribution N (x; u, o?), where o is the standard error of measurement. Now we have measured a value of x, x*, which is significantly deviate from u. If we denote the {xr ol as the «significance”S, then we can say that the “level of significance” of x * isa Approved For Release 2000/08/15 : CIA-RDP96- 00792R000701080001 -1

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. As an example, the experiment ot the observation of the effect of gi on bovine thymus DNA is analysed. .

The angle between the normal of the glass plane and the laser beam is set 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 6 when the polarized plane rotates through an angle /\0 under the action of qi, the change of Ip is * 163° Approved For Release 2000/08/15 : CIA-RDP96-00792R000701080001-1

From AIp, AO can be deduced, During the experiment, nobody is allowed to Stay in the lab. The door of the lab is locked and the apparatus works automatically. . From Dec. 1986 to Jan. 1987, two sets of experiments were done. In the first set, Yan Xin emitted his qt 7 km away from the laser labs; and the second set, 2000 km away. Three apparent results were obtained in 7 km gi emission experiment. In the duration of 55 minutes of gt emission, the originally stable Ip showed fluctuations for 10 times. The fluctuation stopped when Yan Xin ceased his qi emitting. Two apparent results were obiained in 2000 km qt emission experiment. Big fluctuation appeared after 20 minutes of gt emission. The fluctuation was modified by a series of ripples which we have never seen in any laser experiment before. This new phenomenon cannot be explained by any reasons other than the effect of qi. These experiments give the evidence that the orientation of the polarized plane of the laser beam emitted from an inner cavity He-Ne laser, and hence the State of the laser can be affected by gi emitted from a long distance. It should be pointed out that these experiments are of the qigong scientific research with remote qi emission. THE EFFECT OF Q/ ON THE COUNTING RATE OF 241 AM RADIOACTIVITY Yan Xin, (Municipal Institute of Traditional Chinese Medicine of Chongqing, Sichuan province, China) Lu Zuyin, Zhang Tianbao, Wang Haidong and Zhu Runsheng CInstitute of High Energy Physics, Academia Sinica, Beijing, China) A series of experiments Studying the effects of gt on molecules was done successfully by us in 1987. Then we attempted to study the effect of gi on deeper level of the structure of Matter, i.e. the nucleus. The radioactive nuclei were chosen as the subject of our investigation. It-is well known that every radioactive nuclide has its inherent decay constant which cannot be affected by any external physical or chemical factors in 8eneral. So it is very interesting to observe whether it can be affected by qi or not. Two radioactive sources of 241 Am (half life 458 years) of similat activity about 2H C were used in the experiment. One as the test sample and the other as the control. The y-rays ° 164- Approved For Release 2000/08/15 : CIA-RDP96-00792R000701080001-1

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 gi 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 gi 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 5 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<{2x10 ~’. 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 gi treatment in 11 days the latest. The most striking effect we observed is in the 4th run that the counting rate of the gi treated sample increased to 110% of the value before gi 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. « 165 « Approved For Release 2000/08/15 : CIA-RDP96-00792R000701080001-1

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 werd 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 Corig. ) had been tested.

If the confidence probability Pc = 0.99 and the allowable probabillity P ,-0. 999 were adopted, the statistical allowable interval ( x ks) of the individual survey value was able to be worked out as 56. 4--61.8 by means of the essential parameters surveyed by the initial: condition n=10, x =59. 1 and s=0. 374, while the value of No. 6 sample wider action, which was 64.5, had obviously exceeded this intervall 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 after-effects. Further study has yet to be carried out. Table 1.

If the confidence probability Pc_0. 99 and the allowable probability PT =(), 999 were adopted, the statistical allowable interval ( x --ks) of some individual survey value could be worked out as 31. 4--37. 8 by means of the essential background parameters n-9, x =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 q? has some after-effects. The mechanism of the ultra-distance effect of the emitted gz and the effect of the emitted gi on DNA structure have yet to be further studied. 6 173° Approved For Release 2000/08/15 : CIA-RDP96-00792R000701080001-1

It was necessary to check the empty tube of the sample before the peperiment Then, we took out the sample without exposure to light, about 10 gy ‘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 jchecked it.

There ate 20 amino acids in protein and L-tryptophan is one of them. It is an essential element to make up protein. Studying the action of the emitted gi on tryptophan will directly help to reveal the mechanism of the emitted gz that removes diseases and strengthens health. This experiment examined the ultraviolet dulling effect of L-tryptophan before and after the gi emission, using an ultraviolet-visible spectrometer. Temperature change was measured by a thermovision. The experiment sample was PHIVS L-tryptophan aqueous solution with a density of 10 mg/mi. The samples were classified into the experiment group and the contrast group. To affirm the chemical stability of the samples under normal temperature, the background samples received two examinations at the interval of 13.5 hours, as shown in Table 1. One hour before the action of the emitted qi, the initial temperature and the initial spectrum were examined. The qigong master emitted his qi at a long distance on the sample for about 40 minutes. - The experimental result is illustrated in Table 2. At the wave lengths 244 nm and 280 pm, there turned up the apparant increase of ultraviolet absorption intensity. The increasing rate was from 4 per cent to 55.9 per cent. see Table 1. Usually, this phenomenon of “colour increasing effect” called in chemistry was impossible to turn up. Corresponding to variation of the molecular structure, the sample’s temperature changed, before and after the experiment. ‘In both cases, it increased 2°C. This phenomenon shows that the variation of the molecular structure is exothemic. 6 ATS Approved For Release 2000/08/15 : CIA-RDP96-00792R000701080001 -1

This experiment was repeated several times, the results were very clear and ‘definite. The experiment was done on Jan. 22, 1988. From the experiment, it is easy to see that the differences of the position of the sample cause the differences of the test results of different samples. This kind of phenomena again indicate that the emitted gi is to some extent directional and regional.

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 q: 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 experimental sample was water solution of thymine with aciolity PHI11, concentration 10kg/ mm’. The sample was divided into two groups; the experimental group (2 tubes) and the contrast group (2 tubes) . In order to scientifically distinguish the true or fasle of the experimental phenomena, we selected the samples very strictly and dealt with them very carefully.

Then it received the emitted q@ at a far distance for about one hour. Finally we checked the temperature of the sample which had received the emitted gi and checked its ultraviolet absorption spectrum. | The rate of increase of the two samples reached 24.2% and 11. ry, 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 1. The rate of increase of ultraviolet absorption neni is called hyperchromic effect, it is because variation appears in a molecular structure.

The qigong master emitted his q for several times, each for about half an hour. Before receiving the emitted qi , the sample was sent to the Central Lab for testing and comparing with the sample at the same time. The experimental result was expressed in the follow diagram.

A QUANTITATIVE SURVEY OF SYSTEMATIC DEVIATIONS IN BROWNIAN MOVEMENT EXPERIMENT EFFECTED BY THE HUMAN MIND POWER Wang Yonghuai, Zhou Lei, Xu Dong, Huang Junjie, Li Yan and Ge Zheng In April of 1987, the Research Society of the Natural Mysteries of the Beijing University organised a series of lectures, in which Mr. Wang Yonghuai delivered a speech entitled “The Effects of Imaginative Faculty” .

This paper presents the result of a typical experiment, which | was carried out strictly under the normal procedure of the standard Brownian Movement experiment. It recorded a group of 500 data in case of Performer A. or B’s mind power interference and also a comparative group of data in absence of any mind power interference. The result of the experiment showed that while the data of the comparative group were identical. with the theoretical calculations, evident deviations from the theoretical calculations occutred in the data of the mind-power-interfered group-—o value changed by 24%. With the various other reasons for such deviations considered to the greatest |extent, the statistical significance of P<10% still stands. This demonstrates that the change of random distribution occurred in the mind-power- interfered group is not an accident but an orientated systematic deviation instead. In other words, the performer realized orientatedly a less than 10% probability in the course of his affecting the Brownian Movement. Many qigong experiments acquired the statistical results corttaining very striking deviations, but this experiment proves only that deviations do exist, ptobably because 1. The quantity of samples in this experiment is relatively large; 2. The samples in this experiment are completely isolated, unlike other experiment, in which the effdcted objects form one system and thus enlarge the quantity of functions in its effects. Since the law. of the Brownian Movement has been fully investigated and ‘the relevant mathematical tools have long been perfected, it is possible for us to search for a deeper insight with them into the mechanism of human latent faculties effects and! eventually discover a measuring criterion (such as the ability to realize events of little probability) to quantitatively describe the effect-intensity of human latent faculties, so as to lay an experimental foundation of establishing a phenomenological model for the study of the human latgnt faculties effects. * 180° Approved For Release 2000/08/15 : CIA-RDP96-00792R000701080001-1 Me

Modern scientific research of the essence of the emitted qi has yielded some positive results. In order to find out the relation between the emitted q and infrasonic waves, to explore the -meéhanism of the emitted gi, to find out how a person generates and receives the emitted qi , 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. 5em with no contact. Twenty-seven gigong 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 tanged from 4 to 32 years. While on testing, the patterns of qigong were not restricted. Non-gigong 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 qz at Laogong (P 8), Mingmen (Du 4), Baihui (Du 20), Dantian and Jianzhi. Special attention was paid to the test of Laogong (P 8). 1. The top frequency of the infrasonic waves from the tested qigong and non-gigong masters ranged from 8 to 12.5 Hz. In one case the frequency reached 16 Hz. In another two it reached 6 Hz. 2. The infrasonic waves from the qigong masters ranged from 45 to 76 dB and those from the non-masters, 45-50 dB. Comparison of the intensity of infrasonic waves during the qigong State and the non-gigong state before and after the emission of gi showed a statistically significant increase (P<<0. 01). The increase of wave intensity of the gigong masters compared «181° Approved For Release 2000/08/15 : CIA-RDP96-00792R000701080001-1

The energy of the gigong masters was over 100 times higher than that of ordinary persons, 3. Different qigong patterns called for the exercisers to concentrate their minds on different acupoints and the testing results were different. When we/tested the same qugong master at the same point, the intensity of the infransonic waves decreased with the increase of . ! distance. _4. The masters who had practised gigong for many years and often emitted gi to treat patients had a higher intensity of infransonic waves, reaching over 70/dB. Those who started to practice qigong a short time before and mainly practised Net Yang Gong had a lower intensity of the infrasonic waves (lower than 60 dB). | 5. While on testing, some gigong masters in the Valsalva state, | or non-gigong masters who simulated Valsalva, showed a higher intensity of the infrasonic waves. Infrasonic and ultrasonic waves are all sound waves which cannot| be detected by human ears. The frequency of infrasonic waves is below 20 Hz. Many natural phenomena and artificial actions may generate infrasonic waves. Human bodies may; act as a source or a receptor of infrasonic waves giving rise to a biological effect. The inftasonic information we acquired from the measurement of the emitted gi makes it possible to study the effect of the emitted qi. | The Valsalva state in which a gigong master emits his qi is the breath-regulating state of qigong and also the state of emitted gi in the breath-holding exercise. N on-gigong masters who ; simulate the Valsalva state also send out more intense infrasonic wavek. It shows that every person has infrasonic characteristics. A long period of practising gigong ‘helps increase the tadiative intensity of infrasonic waves. Entering the Valsalva state helps in the emission of q. The gi emitted by masters who adopted Song Jin Gong (relaxed and |quiescent pattern) had more intense infrasonic waves (reaching 72 dB) . Thus, the mechanism of the emitted qu : | released by different exercise patterns is different. We have found by a series of tests that very able gigong masters dan keep the energy of infrasonic waves at a relatively high level Cover 70 dB). So tests on imfrasonic waves can be used to screen gigong masters. The human body can generate and emit infrasonic waves. As far as acoustics is concerned, the most suitable resonant frequency of human tissues is within the range of infrasonic waves. It shows that the huaman body readily receives infrasonic waves. Infransonic waves are a strong, effective part of the emitted gi because of their quick, long- distance transmission, strong penetration and non-decreasing vibration.

THE EFFECT OF MIND-CONTROL IN Q/GONG EXERCISE INVESTIGATED BY AN INFRARED THERMOVISION IMAGER Du Luoyi (China Medical Qigong Society, Beijing, China) * “Nfind can control the motion of qi” “Mind control is the core of the qigong exercise. Although most of the gigong 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 gzgong exercises can produce the infrared effect, the subjects were divided into five groups. Group A. The qigong exercisers emitted gi from the head and face through mind-control. Group B. Non- qigong exercisers emitted gt from the head and face through mind- control. Group C. Hands of non-gigong 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 gi 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 gi or not. The Model AGA 780 Infrared Thermovision Imager which we used is an instrument with higher sensitivity, accuracy and resolution. When the room themperature is about 30°C the resolution of this infrared thermovision image is 0. 1°C. When the temperature of the subjects changes 0. 2°C, the colour of the screen will change to the adjacent colour in the colour criterion.

Approved For Release 2000/08/15 : CIA-RDP96-00792R000701080001-1 experimental results coincide with the predictions. In this paper we will give a very brief review on this work and for the first time we will present the calculation results on chaos and fractal dimension of qi in the qigong state. We suggest that the theory of coincidence of the human body and heaven and the chaos resonance principle are the basis of gigong exercises and medical qigong , and the Chinese Qigong Medical Insrument is the only chaos technology for the moment in the world. According to the “Five Element Theory” and the newest chaos theory we made the three predictions; 1. The human body has strange attractor behaviours. 2, Both gi and EEG are CHAOTIC signals. 3. In the qigong state the correlation dimension of gi and EEG will saturate at n= 5s corresponding to “five” in the “Five Element Theory”. There are several evidences to support our predictions; 1. Professor Scott and his colleagues have shown that the correlation dimension of EEG saturates at n=5 for special cases. 2. Anhui Medical College has shown that the spectrum of subsound in the meridians of sheep has continuotis spectrum at low frequency region. We are sure this is the chaos signal. 3. A group at the Zhejian University has shown that the correlation dimension of EEG at the gigong state saturates at n=6. 4. Two group in Shanghai and Northeast China have given evidences indicating the continuous spectrum of infrared radiation from q¢gong masters. Recently we have studied the infrared signal from qigong masters. We have calculated. the power spectrum, . the phase diagram and the correlation dimension. The main procedures ‘and results are as follows: . 1. The gigong signal (infrared radiation for example) is x(t). 2.

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 human 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 human bodies may be the theoretical basis of qigong exercise and medical gigong . Recently, people have found that the electromagnetic radiation from the solar system has the strange attractor behaviours with D, = 3. 5 and the correlation dimension saturates at n = 4-5.So we expect that the correlation dimension of q2 in the gigong state should be D, =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 prodlice living matters or to solidify nitrogen; the brain has a squeezed state with super sensibility ; fhe time and space also have fractal structure and infinite self-similarity. | To understand gigong 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—--co, A new constant might be needed. When e=0 the relativity theory and quantum mechanics can work well. However, when e+0 the relativity theory and quantum mechanics do not work at all. Where is a constant in connection with qigong and mind.

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 thermo-dynamitics theoretically has built a bridge between physics and biology. It, in the first time, explained the relationship between the living body and message, of dualistic correspondence of the living body with vital message. The living body by acquiring negative entropy becomes itself orderized at higher order and thus gaih development and evolution, though no report of practical applications has yet been seen, 8, 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 tetms of the. human body life corresponding to the complex message system, the authors after experimental tests, on the material basis of the emitted q, reached a conclusion that gi, 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 “. 187° Approved For Release 2000/08/15 : CIA-RDP96-00792R000701080001-1

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 df yon 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 medicirte. 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 ahd 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 gigong state — gigong message---the orderization of specif 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 otderization, therefore various gigong exercises always direct the human body to produce orderigation 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 exclanges of bio-messages between the living beings and their environments. | Since the messages of energy mass dualistically correspording| to various sorts of otderization 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’ rabust years, So as to preserve health and change the defective orderization into health ones/to cure deseases and prolong life.

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’s, The instrument was patented with a type number SMS-O03 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 circulation; improving immune function of the three systems; improving microcirculation ; increasing blood flow in the coronary artery; raising PO. of atterial blood, etc. These examples prove how the vital messages control the orderization of the living body, which macroscopically present to be coritrolling 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 civilization of mankind. An unprecedent magnificent vital-message industrial revolution will surely take place as the result of interaction between the living organism and the material world--the interaction between vital matter and non-static mass matter. It is much essential for qigong to promote towards a higher level in the development of the energy-message vital science. Qigong » the treasure of Chinese nation, will play an important role in preserving health and prolonging the human life. - 189° Approved For Release 2000/08/15 : CIA-RDP96-00792R000701080001-1
Approved For Release 2000/08/15 : SIAR POS OO TSAR POO TO TOBOOON PSEUDO-COLOUR TREATMENT OF THE RADIATION FIELD PHOTOGRAPHY | . OF Q/GONG MASTERS - | Cai Jianyu, Yuxian and Zhang Qihu (Shanghai Qigong Institute, Shanghai, China) Radiation field photography is a kind of technique done by the exposure of the film due to electric discharge of the body surface under the state of electric field of high voltage. This technique can be appllied to any research of the human diseases, meridians, physiological conditions and other extra human functions. | In doing the radiation field photography, the physiological indexes, such as those of the thickness of skin, the cornfication of skin, temperature of the body surface secretion and electrolyte concentration of sweat, blood microcirculation, local affection, etc. influence to some extent the intensity of the radiation field electricity. 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, If pictures of the radiation field are taken for the same person and at the same period, the factors of variation are greatly reduced. A comparative:, study | of the body surface temperature between 10°C-45°C have been conducted to see if the body surface temperature and the electrolyte concentration of the body surface markedly affect the radiation field. Another comparative study of the body during infiltration in 10% Nacl solution and normal water has been done too, and there was no marked difference found. Experiment methods. | , The pictures were taken with a self-made radiation field instrument, the voltage of the ‘electric field was 15000-20000 volts. The duration of discharge was abot t 50 ux.

An assessment of the tradition condition was done according to the changes of length of the radiative ray, radiation thickness, shadow of the radiation halo, radiation points and the intensity of the radiation spots. Pseudo- colour treatment was conducted to further assess the P * 190+ | Approved For Release 2000/08/15 : CIA-RDP96-00792R000701080001-1

Thus, the exposure degree could be seen in accordance with the colour and area difference. Pictures of 49 practisers of various qigong patterns were taken, among them 46 were males and 3 females at the age of 24-70. The qigong patterns included Wudang Qigong» Inner-Cultivation Qigong, Shaolin Qigong, Huanglong Tangzhang Qigong, Buddha’ s Warrior Attendant Qigong, etc. Results and Discussion; Qualitve grade of the radiation field negatives was decided according to the following criteria. 1. Obvious changes of the length of the radiative rays, changes of thickness and concentration of the shadow of the radiation halo, increase of intensity of the radiation spots, known as marked increase. 2. Slight changes of the length of the radiative rays, some changes of the thickness and concentration of the shadow of the radiation halo, slight increase of the radiation spots, unobstructive increase of the intensity of the radiation spots; known as slight increase. 3. No changes of the S indexes.

From the above it is significant to assess by the radiation field photography of the gigong practisers (P) 0.1). The results could vary for different practisers who did the same qigong exercise. It tells that the variation of qigong is not the main cause -of the changing results, however, the practiser? s exercise quality is the decisive factor. After the exercise, the increase and decrease of the intensity of discharge of the radiation field may be related to the 2 191° Approved For Release 2000/08/15 : CIA-RDP96-00792R000701080001-1
Approved For Release 2000/08/15 : CIA-RDP96-00792R000701080001-1 interior feedback of the gigong 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 subjecis. In Group A the subjects practised small qi cycle using this apparatus, in Group B the subjects practised the samli gi cycle gigong 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 gi 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 gi 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 gi 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 gi cycle. From these results, it is suggested that this apparatus is a useful supplementary instrument for practising gigong . It can resolve problems such as long duration and difficulty in attaining the appropriate degree in practising qigong . PHYSICAL CHARACTERISTICS OF THE EMITTED Q/ Gui Yongfan, Chen Qi, Li Yinfa and Jiang Shan (Nanjing Aeronautical Institute, Nanjiag, China) In this paper, three functions of the emitted gi which were discovered with the aid of some physical instruments, such as the Van de Graaff generator, light sensitive plate and Geiger-Miiller counter are mentioned. 1. The Emitted gi can restrain the discharge process. The discharge between the two balls in the Van de Graaff generator will be stopped or the period of discharge will become * 1936 Approved For Release 2000/08/15 : CIA-RDP96-00792R000701080001-1
Approved For Release 2000/08/15 : CIA-RDP96-00792R000701080001-1 longer when the emitted gi is exerted on the instrument. The Van de Graaff generator was used for testing. The two discharge balls in the generator were pulled apart until the critical state was reached. Then the gigong master aimed his emitted gi at the discharge space. The distance between the fingers or palm of the qigong master and the discharge space was 10cm to 3 M. 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 gz , 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. Table 1.

By false colour ‘image processing with a picture processing instrument, we obtained a colour photograph, in which the image of fingers and the Laogong (P 8) can be seen clearly. We selected various light sensitive plates which were wrapped in a piece of black paper. The gigong master emitted his qi at the emulsion layer of a light sensitive plate. The distance between the palm of the qigong master and the plate was about 10cm. The duration of emission was about 10. minutes. The plates which had been acted on by the abovementioned © 194° Approved For Release 2000/08/15 : CIA-RDP96-00792R000701080001-1
Approved For Release 2000/08/15 : CIA-RDP96-00792R000701080001-1 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 of 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 gi 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 interval A\t follows Poisson's distribution with an average value ). In the tests, the palm of the qigong master was 5 em 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, thus obtaining information on the emitted gz. EFFECTS OF THE EMITTED QI ON SILICON'S CRYSTALLINE STATE _ Wu Banghui, Wu Ruixian, Du Kaiying, Wu Shiying and Zhu Jumu (Sichuan University, Sichuan provinec, China ) Song Kongzhi, Li Xianggao, Lan Rongliang and Zhou Liangzhong Cinstitute of Space Medical Engineering, China) In recent yeats, with the development of the human body science, a series of experimental evidences have been obtained. They prove that the peculiar functions and emitted qi can change structures and properties of matters. For example, some natural gifted men and qigong masters can break steel needles sealed in a container into two parts and then bind them togather (without any touch), of influence the structure of water, physiological saline, glucose injection, etc, of make cards that have been torn or pounded into paper pulp into their + 1956 Approved For Release 2000/08/15 : CIA-RDP96-00792R000701080001-1

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. which is still unknown. We call the matter the “emitted qi”. Detailed study of the action of the emitted gi on matters has profound theoretical meanings an prospects to various modern sciences. This paper discusses the effect of the emitted qi on silicon crystal state. The Si single crystal plates or Si single crystal plates that had been single-sided coyered with amorphous Si was put into hermetically sealed glass bottles as subjects ef the peculiat function of a naturally gifted man. Their crystal structure was analyzed before and after the reatment. The analytical curve of X-ray's is the diffraction of Si crystal plate that hadn't been treated. From the silicon plates which were acted on by the emitted q2 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) examine it and found that it had become single crystal as (A) and (B). With reference to “Breakdown-Restitution” effect of photodiodg under the action of the peculiar function, we think the change of the single crystal to oriented microcrystal as a kind - of “soft change”.

The temperature increase of 1. 5°-2°C in Baihui CDu’' 20) and Laogong (P 8) was recorded with a microwave radiometer. Infrared thermovision (A + 8-l4km) demonstrated that when the gigong performance started, the temperature of the face gradually rose to'a stable level. As soon as the gzgong 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 (A : 0. 38-0. 8 um) y 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 gi have been reported. The aim of the study in this paper is to look into the material basis and the mechanism of the emitted gi by chemical methods. It includes three aspects; (1) Thermal efficiency of the emitted gi on various chemicals; (2) Effect of the emitted qz on the biological activity of enzymes; (3) Effect of the emitted qi on the conformation of proteins. 1. Thermal efficiency of the emitted gz on various chemicals. Acetone, ether and absolute alcohol were poured into three 25 mi. flasks respectively, and then were acted upon by the emitted gz from three qigong masters, A, Band 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 carorific value Q of each chemical to the distance S from the flask bottom to the gzgong 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, i.e. , ° 197 + Approved For Release 2000/08/15 : CIA-RDP96-00792R000701080001-1
Approved For Release 2000/08/15 : CIA-RDP96-00792R000701080001-1 IgQ vs. S, keeps a constant, if the source of the emitted gi is from the same qigong Master. Therefore, an equation to compare the two values Q and S sepatately is got through a comparison between the qigong master and non- gigong master. Q = eo 434Cos-+a) Where “a” is a constant relating to the thermal efficiency of the| chemicals on which the emitted qi acts; “b” is an attenuation coefficient reflecting the decrease in lgQ with the increase in S. And, the larger the b value, the slower the attenuation tate 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 gi 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 gi 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 times, the activity of saccharogenic amylase increased and for once it decreased. The maximlim 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 chang¢ in the allosteric effect of each enzyme. 3. Influence of the emitted gi on the conformation of proteins. To prove the possibility that the activity of protein may be changed by the emitted gz , 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 decreasé in tr (retention time) of lysozyme, when the emitted gi acted on the column, or the colu solution in a tube directly. The decreased range of its activity was over -3.5% to -17.5%. The fact elucidates that the emitted gi has an ability to pass through the wall of the stainless column, then it interacts with protein and makes the change in it cytochrome C received the emitted qi by the same qigong master, t, became obviously longer. The corresponding increase in Z value, AZ, was 1.49. The phenomenon explained the increases in the total munber of the cation and the anion released fro between cytochrome C molecule and the surface of the stationary phage.

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 Qzgong » 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 gigong for yin syndromes, dynamic gigong 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 gigong 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. 8. Potential communication between the top of the head and the perineum is established within the human body (small qi cycle) . In the brain, it refers to getting through the lobus frontalis—hy pothalamus--hy pophysis. 4. The electric potential in the skin becomes orderly. The same phenomenon occurs in the brain. The electric potential of the cerebral cortex becomes orderly. 5. Electric magnetic sensitivity of the human body increases.

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 qz 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 gigong between the mainland and Taiwan. THE MECHANISM OF QI1GONG—MAGNETIC RESONANCE Ma Jiannan (Tcchnology Institute,, Hongkong Chinese University, Hongkong) Qigong is a kind of frequency energy, which can be affected by the strong magnetic ficld and stored in the human body and released by it. When we are doing the basic exercise of gigong (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 gi sensation is neither electric current because the feeling will disappear when the cycle movements are accelerated and the frequency is over 0.7 + 200 « Approved For Release 2000/08/15 : CIA-RDP96-00792R000701080001-1

The author thinks that it is a feeling caused by the magnetic resonance. There is a coincidence between the gigong phenomenon and the mechanism of the magnetic resonance when one is practising the basic exercise of gigong . 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 ‘H and °C are orderlessly arranged in the body, but after the qigong exercise through the automagnetization, a magnetization state 4 ¥ A | appears. At this moment if there is an energy coming from outside, the frequency of a » the magnetized water may absorb the energy and there occurs the magnetic resonance state 4 } 4 ¥sSy 4 which is correspondent to the formula of nuclear magnetic resonance v =r y 4. vu is the frequency, H, is the intensity of the external magnetic field, y (rotatory magnetization) and 27 are constant. The weaker the magnetic field is, the lower frequency naodnd 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-infrered detector. But this is the secondary energy generated by concomitance, because man-made temperature increase cannot bring the curative effect of gigong . The energy of magnetic: resonance may be originated from the magnetic resonance elements of the cells--"H , “C, “N, "“P, 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 absorbcd 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 q?gong masters ate emitting their qi since they practise different patterns of qigong exercises and there is * 201 Approved For Release 2000/08/15 : CIA-RDP96-00792R000701080001-1
Approved For Release 2000/08/15 : CIA-RDP96-00792R000701080001-1 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 ather than food and air ‘for the human beings. The qigong masters are able to absorb the infrasonic energy of low frequency and emit high frequency energy. The theory of human magnetic resonance not only explains the slndament phenomena of qigong » but also moving objects by gigong , meridian travelling spare 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 capadity » 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. pecyliar function with the reverse magnetic pole; . Developing gtgong instruments based on the mechanism of the magnetic resonance; |5. Doing away with superstitions with the mechanism of qigong ; 6. Exploring the wisdom of the outerspace creatures according to the religious legends. But the task of top prjority at present is to standardize the qigong teachers and offer regular course of gigong . 202 « Approved For Release 2000/08/15 : CIA-RDP96-00792R000701080001-1

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 . cate 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 gigong 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.. Ina broader sense, Daoyin contains the whole contents of ancient gigong including the quiescent and dynamic gigong ; 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 gigong which was also called Daoyin was among these measures. The use of the ancient gigong in treatment and prevention was recorded extensively in ancient books. In the 7th century, these records were systematzed in a large scale and taken * 203 Approved For Release 2000/08/15 : CIA-RDP96-00792R000701080001-1
Approved For Release 2000/08/15 : CIA-RDP96-00792R000701080001-1 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’, gigong , as one of the 4 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 gigong 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 TRADITION , NEIDAN METHOD ~ Song Tianbin (Beijing College of Traditional Chinese Medicine, Beijing, China) The Nezdan method has always been regarded as a mysterious skill of the Taoist School, the purpose of which was not only to preserve health and prolong life. owever, 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 gigong . The exercise of g? circulation, which is regarded as an advanced form of gigong 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, iff they were accepted without discrimination, the practiser would easily be led astry. Take} the exercise of qt circulation for exemple. If the practiser believes that it can provide such wonderful effects as eternal life, ascenking to Heaven, body duplication and transformation, fccess to fairyland, and rejuvenation, if he improperly pursues such effects, he may an in psychological disorders. There may be abnormal and painful sensations, or functional disturbance of the vegetative nervous system. In severe cases the victim may become psychotic. Even if nothing goes wrong, excessive desire will lead to useless comsumption of gi and |mental fatigue with hallucinations instead of healthful effects. Ancient works on alchemy, in fact, recognized the «204 + ‘ Approved For Release 2000/08/15 : CIA-RDP96-00792R 00701080001-1
Approved For Release 2000/08/15 : CIA-RDP96-00792R000701080001-1 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 gi 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 affcet 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, gi, 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 qt 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 qt circulation for two months, the respiratory rate of the experimental group during the qugnog 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 gi 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 * 205 « Approved For Release 2000/08/15 : CIA-RDP96-00792R000701080001-1
Approved For Release 2000/08/15 : CIA-RDP96-00792R000701080001-1 suffering from chronic diseases, two were cured, seven improved markedly , whereas only one did not respond after practising the exercise of gi circulation for two months. According to the past experience, the patient suffering from gastroptosis who did not r spond could also be cured if the course of treatment was prolonged for another 3~5 months. The Zhejiang Institute of Traditional Chinese Medicine and Pharmacology reported that the exefcise of qt circulation at Mingmen (Du 4) can be used to treat cancer. Other experiments bhow 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 gi 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 NV eidan 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. po it is not difficult to understand why the Neidan method has for thousands of years been regairded as a mysterious, advanced form of gigong 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 glands, such as the lobus parietalis and lobus frontalis of the cerebral cortex, the hypothalamus, he medulla oblongata, the spinal cord, the celiac plexus, the pituitary, the thyroid, the thymus, the gonads, the adrenals and other glands of the digestive system. These organs are es ential to life and may be regarded as life centers. On this basis we have designed a short-cut to the modern V cidan 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 col ured 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 prdctiser 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 « 206° Approved For Release 2000/08/15 : CIA-RDP96-00792R000701080001-1
Approved For Release 2000/08/15 : CIA-RDP96-00792R000701080001-1 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 stomach, gallbladder 4nd pancreas--the ovaries the thyroid, thymus, ear and lungs 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 Netdan method in which qz 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 gi is really circulating smoothly. Without such changes there is just imaginary circulation. To be sure, imaginary circulation is helpful to the circulation of gz , 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 Q/GONG IN THE “ESSENTIALS OF HEALTH KEEPING” Han bin, He Deguang and Hou Wei CInstitute of Acupuncture and Moxibustion, China Academy of Traditional Chinese Medicine, Beijing, China) “fssentials 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 « 207 » Approved For Release 2000/08/15 : CIA-RDP96-00792R000701080001-1

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 other 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 cértainly did a lot of work in quoting the documents. 2. The “Essentials of Health-Keeping” recorded rich knowledge of gignog . 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 qtgnog , indications of the gigong therapy, and the rules of treatment. (1) The basic theory of health-preserving by qigong: Qigong practite 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 heallth-preserving. The extensive combination of gigong 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, gi, blood and body fluid. In addition, | the book had taken the Dantian theory and the theory of ascending, descending, opening and ¢losing. (2) The knowledge of the mechanism of qigong ; It was held by the book that gigong could regulate the function of the zang—fu organs, qi and blood to expel cipeases. (3) Patterns of gigong exercises; The statistical analysis tells us that|there are about 270 kinds of exercises listed in the book and the majority of them were ml the dynamic types (accounting for 94.5%), including Daoyin , breathing exercises, standing posture, ect. These all belong to the schools of medical gigong , Taoism and Buddhism. The study has sorted out the practices of exercises in terms of mind-control, breathing and physical exercises. (a) Mind-control can be divided into four kinds atcording 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 the mouth, stopping breathing, ect; (c) The physical exercises are summarized; (d) The relationship between breathing, physical exercises and mind-control is expounded. * 208 + Approved For Release 2000/08/15 : CIA-RDP96-00792R000701080001-1

(5) Applicafion of qigong ; It is for the purpose of prevention and treatmeat of diseases, deiaying the aging process and improving looks. . (6) Indications of gigong ; 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 gigong . (2) Health protection, disease expelling and longevity ——— the purpose of practising qugong. (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 gigong « 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.

It can strengthen the immune function of the body, so it has the function of preventing and treating diseases, slowing down the process of aging. It has some merits, such as effectiveness, low cost, lack of side-effects and avaiability to all ages. Nowadays, qigong has drawn attention from the whole world. The next century will belong to qugong « 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 a d 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 sphools 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 Cisolation from environment) ,| Pharana Chigh 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 heaJjth. Its philosophical thinking is that of the corresponding relation between the human bod (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), “Gut Zen tang Shen Zhi Bing” Fen Bu? (everything returns to its original natural environment), “ (exercising the body and curing disease), “Jian Shen Yu Di” (Strengthening the body and warding off the enemy) . Its main schools include Confucian, Taoist, ushu , medical and folk gigong . Its training principles are to cultivate one’s morals, calm oneself without desiring and rest to attain mental tranquility and preserve health according to “ Jie” (religious discipline) , “ Ding ” (calming and collecting oneself) and “ TTuet ” Cwisdom, training ways). It is achieved by regulating the body’s function, controlling breath, moothing the mind, making the inner energy active, coordinating between vital energy and| blood, dredging the ’ meridians, balancing yin and yang . The article 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, philosophic thinking, training principles and chara teristics of practicing methods. China’s “ Qihua (activation of vital energy) theory” has som¢ influences on Indian * 210° Approved For Release 2000/08/15 : CIA-RDP96-00792R000701080001-1 ¢

He once arrived at Guli of India (the southeast coastal area of India) and carried some Chinese medical works there, among which, probably some were the works of Chinese qigong . ,To analyze Kundalini’s Qi Mai theory, we know, the “Meridians and the theory of” Qi Hua Lam are similar to the seven acupoints of the Ren-Du Meridians, and the theory of “Oi Hua Lun” of Chinese qigong was formed earlier, so we infer that the theory of “Oi Hua Lam”, which has the Chinese characteristic played an active and promotive role in the formation of Kundalini’s theory of India. Indian Yoga basically derived from a single school (entity), while China gigong has essentially three schools, namely “ Ru”, “ Shi” and “Tao”. The three schools are always interrelating and combining; then new methods are created through these combinations. PROMOTING QJ 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 gi 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 qe 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. * 211° Approved For Release 2000/08/15 : CIA-RDP96-00792R000701080001-1

ZHIYVS CONTRIBUTIONS TO THE THEORY OF BUDDHIST DHYANA-SAMADHI THERAPY Chen Bing (Centre for Religious Studies, Sichuan University, Chengdu, China) The Dhydna-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 Hinayaéna 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 “Shi Cham Bo Luo Mi Ci Qi Fa Men”, “Zhi Guan” and “Mo Ke and Xiao Zhi Guan” , Zhiyi explained separately three ways of cultivating Samatha-Vipasyana in detail; among them was Dhydna-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 Caturmahabhita (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 Cheart, 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 ° 2156 Approved For Release 2000/08/15 : CIA-RDP96-00792R000701080001-1
Approved For Release 2000/08/15 : CIA-RDP96-00792R000701080001-1 dreams they have while practising Dhyana-Samadhi. Zhiyi summarized the cause of discases mentioned in Buddhist Scriptures and classified them into six groups: unbalance of Caturmahabhatta, improper diet, inability to regulate one’s body, mind and breath in practising of Dhydna-Samadhi, ahd 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 dl of psychotherapy (e.g. confession) . He insisted that one should surely dispel and cute 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 eying or suffering from taking medicines. Zhiyi classified the ways of Dhyaéna-Samédhi therapy into six grolps: 1. F ocusing one’ s mind on one part of the body, e. g. on the acupoint Dantian, feet dr the diseased or aching part; 2. Producing the sounds of the six Chinese characters chui » CID, ku CIR), 22 CIB), ke Cin) au CWE), and si (PQ). 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 Dhyéna-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, thdre are twelve ways of breathing regulation (bringing up, bringing down, accelerating, filling, increasing, destroying, cooling, warming, bursting through, holding up, harm nizing and enriching) , each of which cures one kind of disease; 4. Imagining in a definit situation, e.g. those suffer from cold discases may imagine fire and those who suffer fro 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 disa pear when one’s mind enters a state of void and tranquility after one fails in introspecting arid examining oneself to find the substance of the mind; 6. Folk medicine, such as twirlin Dantian, . beating the aching part with a rod and dispelling diseases by means of chanting incantations. However, one must examine their effects and employ them with great caution. For more than a thousand years, Zhiyi’s theory of Dhyana-Samadhi 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 gigong , and widely * 2166 Approved For Release 2000/08/15 : CIA-RDP96-00792R000701080001-1

YIGONG 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 Chungiu” 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 gigong , 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 gigong 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 gigong . 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 * 217° Approved For Release 2000/08/15 : CIA-RDP96-00792R000701080001-1
Approved For Release 2000/08/15 : CIA-RDP96-00792R000701080001-1 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 well4practiced ascetics that inherit the competence from their masters. the “ Vizhi” (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 gigong and Mijiao Shan try to concen rate one’s. mind in a relaxed bodily state, using similar kinds of “Vin”, 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 concentrated state of of all, and the one that is said to be most effective is “Namakusamanda, bodanan un shitchi sowaka” . When you say this prayer seven times in one breath with 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”, d 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 “oi”. therefore, therapy by “qi”, not only the internal qi but als emitted gi can fill the patient with the energy of the universe. Should qigong , the therapy jof 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, th¢ activity of the soul is much stronger than the gi which is the essential power source of gignog|. 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 * 218° Approved For Release 2000/08/15 : CIA-RDP96-00792R000701080001-1
ee a Approved For Release 2000/08/15 : CIA-RDP96-00792R000701080001-1 study of gigong should not only be the study of the effects of gi, 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 Q/GONG AND ITS MEDICAL APPLICATION Takashi Tsumura (Kansai Qigong Socicty, 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. “ Zhuyou ” (healing by declaration) ,“ Y ijingbtang: ” (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-yang ” . 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 gigong . The purpose of medical qtgong is support and recovery of health, but it cannot interfere with the patient’s inner spiritual life or a view of value. The religeous gigong 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 gigong from the new standpoint. . 4. Chinese religious gigong 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, * 219° Approved For Release 2000/08/15 : CIA-RDP96-00792R000701080001-1 %

Shentao, way of hermits, created Neidan school in the time|from the Tang to Song 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 gigong of huangzi was revived by Chen Yingning. It is effective to healing neurosis. 5. The Buddhist gigong contains MIJIAO (esoteric Buddhism), ¢specially 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 Nei¢an in spite of so many differences in concrete method. Chan has also common field, it created various high techniques for mind-body control as ZLhiguang (concentration and contemplation). 6. The religious qigong has more refinded and experienced mind control methed than medical gigong . Also in medical qigong , “ Rujing ” (enter a Very quiet state) is very important for having effect, but in this field, they seck for control lof 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 gigong and high technique unification of mind and body. And after introduction to Japan, Chan has much developed as an effective psy hological 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 of holistic medicine, we can not judge it in the field of accomplished science, but connect lit with recovering “black . science”, namely the tradition of Tao science from the ancient times. We want the reconstruction of modern science. For example, yt (divination) |contains richly the theory concerning with the relationship between mankind and its environnjent, and Chan or Netdan is, as they are, high psychophysical science. The religious gigong will open the path to future medicine jby its totality of grasping human themselves. + 220° Approved For Release 2000/08/15 : CIA-RDP96-00792R000701080001-1
