Balancing Ancient Wisdom and Modern Science

Qi (noun): vital energy of all living things. Qi is of central importance in some Eastern systems of medical treatment (such as acupuncture), and of exercise (such as tai chi).

The Mandarin to English translation for “Zhineng” is wisdom. “Qi” is life energy. “Gong” means cultivation or practice. Some ancient qigong practices are over 5,000 years old. Wisdom Qigong was founded in China in the 1980’s by Dr. Pang Ming, a western and eastern medical physician. Dr. Pang developed Wisdom Qigong, a holistic system of methods and practices that are simple, adaptable, and profound.

Balance is a key element of Wisdom Qigong. When the body’s systems are in a state of balance, physical, emotional, and mental well-being flourishes. As living beings, we are in a constant state of growth, development, and change. So it’s natural for what was balanced to not stay balanced. After all, life is a dynamic process. Balance is not a “one and done,” but more of an ongoing practice. Wisdom Qigong restores and refines physical, emotional, mental balance.
