Harnessing the Power of Qigong Energy for Balance and Harmony
Taking the time to learn about Qigong energy for balance and harmony, allows you to take control of your health. Thousands of people around the world enhance their well-being by practicing easy qigong techniques. They include simple body movements, qigong breathing and meditation.
In our fast-paced modern life, we are consistently faced with many health challenges and recommendations. Just in the diet category alone, low fat, no fat, carbs for fuel, no carbs, low carbs, high protein, and many more.
Doctors have their own view, including drugs and sometimes invasive surgery.
With all these choices, one thing remains constant, you can improve your well-being every day by practicing qigong.By learning to use Qigong energy for harmony and balance, many people report they reduce stress and anxiety, increase mental acuity, and improve balance and flexibility.
Some people feel results very quickly, others may feel subtle changes over time. You may find yourself being less reactive to situations or being able to step back and work through situations with less effort. Practicing qigong can benefit and impact people in many ways.
Daily Qigong Routine
I have been practicing and teaching Emei Qigong for over 16 years. We believe that you take whatever medical help that you need at the time. We also believe that establishing a daily qigong routine can prevent and ward off many of the problems before they happen.
Sometimes we get in the way of our own health. When we think too much and overreact to situations we can’t control, we can create imbalances in our energy field. This forces our bodies into a crisis mode, rather than obtaining a state of optimum health.
A daily qigong routine can be as simple as 10 minutes of gentle movement and coordinated breathing to doing up to an hour or more of moving meditations called Qigong Forms or seated still Qigong Meditation.
Practicing daily allows us to remain in “energy” balance. By learning to connect with the unlimited universal energy, we get what we need.
When we go beyond what our natural energy balance is, we start using our inherited qi, or our essence. This puts a strain on our kidney qi causing imbalances within our organs.
Practicing qigong daily, along with enough sleep, eating seasonal foods, and reducing stress, is a formula for improved health and vitality.
Qigong Energy For Harmony and Balance - Qigong Movements
Everything we do in our life requires qi. It is our life force. We have an internal energy flow and a body energy field that work together and are connected to the universal energy. This energy (qi) is transported through our body by meridians and stored in major energy centers, (Gates and Dantians) and when balanced, allows our body to heal organically.
Qigong movements have a way of moving your energy. By moving your energy in this way, you can have a free flow of energy (Qi) and blood to your organs, creating harmony and balance throughout your entire body.
Moving qi also breaks up stagnant qi in our body. The stagnant qi is often the result of emotional trauma. If this stagnant qi blocks our free flow of healthy qi, it may lead to physical ailments. Moving or breaking up this qi by using qigong movements can prevent the manifestation of physical ailments and allows our body to harmonize obtain optimal health.
The first part of Emei Qigong’s Wuji Gong Form works with the meridians and major energy center of our bodies, allowing for a free flow of balancing energy (qi). The second part allows us to connect with the universal energy on a way that brings out our latent abilities and spiritual attunement.

Qigong Healing
Qigong healing is easy to learn. Emei Qigong teaches techniques for healing ourselves as well as others.
Some of the techniques are related to breathing and movement. Others are still qigong meditations. There are also specific healing techniques that require skill and practice.
All the techniques are available to learn in our classes, workshops and seminars that are offered during the year.
Emei Qigong is a healing art that was created almost 800 years ago. It combines many different healing modalities and was fine-tuned over the years to be taught and learned by anyone who desires enhanced health.
It is strictly a healing art, and Its concepts and principles go back thousands of years and are based on Traditional Chinese Medicine 5 Elements Theory.
Most people, once they join a class or learn from qigong videos, find the movements and breathing fun and easy to learn. The best thing is, they often feel the difference very quickly.
Qigong Therapy - Harnessing the Power of Qigong Energy for Balance and Harmony
Emei Qigong uses still and moving qigong. Sometimes still meditation is a little more challenging to learn. That’s where mediation in motion comes in. This way you move and breath through gentle exercises and relax in a way you wouldn’t be able to achieve on your own.
Qigong therapy can include practicing forms and meditation but can go much deeper than just simple qigong exercises.
Emei Qigong incorporates TCM 5 Element theory and practices. It includes medical qigong principles with “energy based” protocols to work on specific areas of the body, ailments/illnesses and organs. Very often, physical ailments are related to emotional trauma, so learning how to release this disruptive energy (qi) is an important part of reversing illness.
Our forms, The Standing Form or 18 Methods Form, work directly with movements that are specific to opening our energy pathways and balancing the energy of the organs in our body.
5 Element QiGong
Chinese Medicine tells us that all things are based on the 5 Elements.
Each Element relates to a Yin and Yang organ, each organ relates to a season.
Fire
Heart-Small Intestine – Summer
Metal
Lung-Large Intestine – Autumn
Wood
Liver - Gallbladder – Spring
Earth
Spleen - Stomach – Part of all 4 seasons
Water
Kidney - Bladder – Winter
The Teachings of Emei Qigong
In Emei Qigong, each element has a healing sound associated with that element. The sounds are used for harmonizing and balancing the individual organs.
The Emei Qigong Healing System has an unbroken lineage of almost 800 years. Based on a specific healing frequency that originated at Emei Mountain in China.
Lineage is the definition (or connection) of how qigong methods are passed down. This is important because without a direct connection grounded in solid energetic methods, most of your efforts can be wasted.
This energetic frequency is at the heart of all the Emei teachings.... whether qigong, meditation, chanting, or sound healing. It is based on many of the principles of Traditional Chinese Medicine. (TCM)
TCM principles believe that “Qi” or a person’s energy must flow freely throughout the body for people to feel their best. If “Qi” becomes stagnant health problems can occur.
What Can I Expect if I Practice Qigong?
Many people report lowered stress and anxiety, increased focus, improvement in mental acuity, and improved balance and flexibility.
By learning to connect with qigong energy for harmony and balance, you will see many subtle changes over time. This may include feeling calmer and being less reactive are talked about often by practitioners and cultivators.
Most of the qigong forms and exercises can be practiced by people of all ages and conditions. These gentle but structured forms help make you stronger, more balanced, (emotionally and physically), flexible and healthier.
Modifications can be made to fit virtually every situation including those who need a chair or wheelchair. Emei Qigong helps with overall movement and posture
What does Qigong do for the Body?
Qigong uses gentle movements and exercises that moves energy in the body, while calming the mind and spirit.
The goal is to give your body “what it needs” to heal and improve on every level. Deeper practice gives you an opportunity for spiritual attunement.
When we think of “the body” think of our physical, emotional and spiritual self.
How Many Times a Week Should I Practice Qigong?
Qigong should be practiced every day whenever possible. There are many opportunities to join qigong classes online or use qigong videos to establish a daily routine. If you work with a Qigong Instructor/Master, he/she can guide you on learning a routine or techniques that suits your schedule.
A beneficial qigong routine can be anywhere from 10 minutes to an hour or more.
We are now adding local qigong and sound bath healing sessions. (Vail, Tucson Arizona USA). We also provide regularly scheduled Zoom classes. link
Does Qigong Really Work?
Studies have shown that qigong can reduce symptoms of depression, experience less anxiety, and better moods as compared to those who didn’t. It can also help with maintaining bone health, cardiovascular health and improve balance.
What are the Healing Sounds of Qigong
The Emei Qigong Sacred Healing Sounds are connected to all 5 Elements (seasons) and the frequency of our organs. Each of the 5 Elements is associated with a specific organ and each organ has a specific Sacred Healing Sound. The exception is Fire which has two sounds.
Fire (Heart, Zhen & Deng) Pronounced Jen & Dung
Metal (Lung, Shang)
Wood (Liver, Ge) Pronounced Guh
Earth (Spleen, Gong Guo) Pronounced Gong Gua
Water (Kidneys, Hei) Pronounced Hay
There are two additional Healing Sounds, the Stomach (Hai) pronounced Hi, and the Brain (Hong). The Emei Qigong Universal Healing Mantra is used for relaxation and meditation and mobilizes the universal energy.
A, Mi, Di, Li, Gong, Zhen, Hong,(Ah, Mee, Dee, Lee, Gong, Jen, Hong)
The vital organs of your own body play their own frequencies or sounds. When one organ is out of balance, it puts a strain on all the other organs. When the human body is healthy, the sounds of the organs are harmonious and have a regular pattern and rhythm. Practicing, singing and chanting these sounds increases the benefits of qigong by harmonizing your whole body.

What are Qigong Classes?
Qigong classes can be anything that an instructor would like to present. In the Emei System, we have 4 different forms that we practice regularly. (12 Forms in all). This is called moving qigong or moving meditation.
We also have 3 different meditations that are part of our scheduled classes. This is part of the qigong still practice.
In addition, there are micro trainings that isolate and open certain energy paths in the body. Very often these shorter sequences are used to stimulate the energy of certain organs.
How to Pronounce Qigong
Qigong is pronounced Chee-Gong
Emei Qigong is pronounced Err-May Chee-Gong
What is Qigong Meditation?
In some ways, all of qigong’s practices can be considered meditation. In Emei Qigong, we have many types of moving meditation. They are sometimes referred to as forms. These forms are structured and have specific movements and breathing patterns that help move our energy (qi).
Back when qigong was first brought to this country, many of the Chinese Masters taught only forms because of the language limitations. Therefore, these forms became the focus of many of the qigong styles. These forms can be referred to as moving qigong or moving meditation. In Emei Qigong we have 12 Forms that are associated with our style.
Silent or still meditation is what many people think of when they think of meditating. It usually refers to connecting with or counting breaths or repeating a mantra. The idea is to quiet the mind and bring oneself into a stillness that achieves a state of mental calmness and clarity. To the new person, trying to find this peaceful state can be challenging.
That is why following a moving pattern, connected with proper breathing can be easier to connect with. Click here for information on meditation and qigong movements.
When was Qigong Created?
The documented history of qigong goes back approximately 2,500 years but Chinese archaeologists and historians have found references to qigong techniques from at least 5,000 years ago.
Emei Qgong, in the written form goes back almost 800 years. It originated in Emei Mountain, and its teachings have been handed down Monk to Monk, until mid 1900’s where it began to be available to the public.

What Are the Three Treasures of Qigong?
The three treasures of Qigong are Jing, (essence), Qi (energy), and Shen (Spirit).
These “Treasures’ are precious jewels that need to be nurtured and protected.
At their core, they make up who we are as individuals. They give you life and identity.
Qigong helps to integrate your three treasures into your life. This leads to healthier mind, body and spirit.
Emei Qigong’s Wuji Gong Form incorporates the Three Treasures into its movements.

When is the Best Time to Practice Qigong?
This is an interesting question. The obvious answer is, it is more effective if practiced daily.
It would be great to have optimum times to practice. The best time is when Yin/Yang transfer is taking place.

How Qigong Heals
It has been known by many “Qi” energy-based healing systems that stuck or slow moving qi, can cause imbalances and diseased energy in the body.
Very often, phycological trauma causes energy to stop moving and these blockages can manifest itself into a physical illness.
By learning and practicing qigong techniques, one can learn to move this energy so that the body can function more efficiently.

Practicing Qigong In Winter
We discussed the connection between Qigong and the 5 Elements of Chinese Medicine TCM. Winter is the most Yin Season, which means the tendency of the energy is to go down and in. For many people, this slows their metabolism and willingness to stay activity. In Qigong, we work with the environment and the seasons and can adjust our practice to accommodate these external influences.
To explain this further, an excessively Yang Person is often Yin deficient. This person can tend to be overactive, has a harder time with still meditation, can be over emotional and “runs hot” creating imbalances of the heart.
To balance an excessive Yang person they would need to increase Yin type meditations and exercises.
In the winter, the most Yin season of the year, their Yin Qi is naturally stronger and, in some people, lowers their Yang energy very often causing inactivity and lethargy. Also, in the winter, the organ that is associated with is the Kidneys.
Emei Qigong has specific breathing and movements to strengthen our Kidney Qi (essence), as well as the other organs.
