Medical Qigong principle lays on the fundamental belief that all illness arises from imbalance, stagnation in energetic patterns. It is used to treat these disorders and is used as a preventative medicine by restoring and adjusting energetic balances, breaking through stagnation bringing unimpeded flow and circulation back to the body.

Medical Qigong is becoming extremely important in the world as healthcare costs rise,
economies are shrinking; the world is waking up to the fact they need to find alternative
preventative medicine. What is Medical Qigong? The word “Qi” means air or energy. The
word “Gong” means work. The word “Medical” is self­explanatory. What is not so obvious
is how does one apply Qigong to the medical aspect?

2 General Categories of Medical Qigong
1. Outgoing Qigong Therapy
Outgoing Qigong therapy requires a recipient and a giver. One might suffer from an illness
or worse. They seek a Qigong therapy practitioner to do healing work on them. The person
administering the therapy will infuse the receiver with healing Qi. The practitioner can use
various healing sounds and or light visualizations depending on if they are treating a certain
organ. Tui Na can be considered a type of Outgoing Qigong therapy.
1. Medical Qigong Exercises
Medical Qigong exercises are designed to open up the meridian channels.
3 Levels of Dynamic Medical Qigong Exercises
1. Meridian Qigong­ Jingluo Gong
2. Organ Qigong­ Nei Zang Gong
3. Bone Qigong­ Gu Tou Gong
In the first level of Medical Qigong, the practitioner needs to open up the Meridian
Channels of the body. The Chinese say the meridians are like the rivers that flow to the
oceans and lakes of your body. The oceans and lakes of your body are your organs. If a
river is blocked, stagnation will build. If it does not find a way to flow, it will burst or find
another path that may change the natural course of nature. In Taoism we are a microcosm
of nature. If your meridians are blocked, not opening and flowing on a regular basis then the
proper nutrients, oxygen and Qi cannot flow to your organs. This is like cutting off the
oxygen supply to them. They cannot breathe. Once you cut off flow to them, they will suffer. If
they suffer to long, you can end up with damage to your organs. Therefore it is imperative
to keep your Meridian Channels open and flowing. In our Level 1 Medical Qigong course
we teach the 14 Meridian Flow Set. This set is comprised of 14 movements designed for
the specific purpose of opening all the meridian pathways.
Once you have opened your meridian pathways the next step is to massage your internal
organs. Our Organ Qigong Set is made up of 8 Qigong movements and 3 warm­up
exercises. By completing this entire set you will have gently massaged your internal organs
in multiple ways and angles through various stretching movements coupled with
compression and expansion of the body in many ways. I can tell you once you experience

3. this Qigong you will want to do it everyday at least once. It really wakes my body up and
gives me good feelings all over.
After you have completed the Organ Qigong set the next level is to guide the Qi into the
bone marrow, tendons and ligaments. This is an advanced stage of Medical Qigong as it is
also more challenging than Meridian and Organ Qigong as it requires deep stances
coupled with deep twisting movements.
The Qi feelings you will derive from each of these sets feel different. If practiced together
you have the opportunity for maximum Qi development and a preventative medicine
program that is for free and can be practiced whenever you want.
Sitting Medical Qigong such as Primordial Breathing with the Golden Elixir Breath is used
to treat a variety of gastrointestinal disorders and other illnesses. The saliva in traditional
Qigong is considered the Golden Elixir. The Taoists believe it has a huge amount of
powerful healing benefits.
I highly recommend you incorporate a daily Medical Qigong routine into your schedule as I
do, to gain maximum natural preventive medicine.For more info visit our website
