Integrating Ancient Chinese Healing
for the 21st Century
Education of Qigong and Energy Medicine
via Research and Practice in Costa Rica
Integrative Qigong is the comprehensive integration of millenary Qigong techniques dating to over 5,000 years, and current science. Combining ancient intuition and new knowledge creates a solid foundation for a healing art to take us into the future in health and joy.
Ancient masters came to the understanding that everything is composed of the same energetic substance, which they called Qi. Traditional Chinese Medicine is primarily based on the understanding of the transformation of Qi throughout the human body. Today quantum physics proposes that all matter is composed of energy that is constantly vibrating at different frequencies. Underlying all of this motion is a ubiquitous force that quantum physics has called zero point energy (ZPE)―energy undetected by our human senses but present in every centimeter of air and space. The Institute of Integrative Qigong understands that Qi is equal to ZPE.
Although the existence of this underlying force has been intuited since ancient times, science has recently measured and scientifically proven its existence. Currently scientists are beginning to understand that DNA acts as a conduit for this all-pervasive energy field. It has been proven that DNA acts as a superconductor, transporting electrons down the length of its double helix. Furthermore, recent research has shown that DNA is affected by energy fields generated by the human body itself. Evidence of the influence of human being’s electromagnetic field is found in scientific studies showing that energy emitted by human hands can directly affect wound healing, tissue growth, and protein formation.
DNA emits energy in form of biophotons, which have been measured and scientifically documented. Based on this data, it has been postulated that DNA’s base pairs, and their specific positions and shapes, may act as antennae for specific electromagnetic frequencies, which may determine what proteins or enzymes are produced. Some believe that these emitted biophotons may actually be the energetic blueprint that directs the physical machinery of DNA to accomplish its task within our 100 trillion cells.
The word Qigong (Chi Kung or Chi Gong) is made up of two Chinese words. Qi is pronounced Chee and is usually translated to mean the Life Force or quantum vital-energy that flows through all things in the universe. The second word Gong, pronounced Gung, means skill that is cultivated through steady practice―mastering. Together, Qigong (Chi Kung or Chi Gong) means cultivating energy or mastering human energy, it is a system practiced for health maintenance, healing and increasing life vitality―the skillful practice of applying Life Force energy.
Through the study and practice of Qigong, one can cultivate an awareness of Qi and its individual pathways, learning to influence and control, in a conscientious and focus manner, its energy power. Qigong practitioners use these skills to alter the energy of organs and pathways creating an environment where the body can reestablish balance and heal itself.
The goal of Qigong is to correct bio-energetic imbalances and blockages in the body that accumulate throughout our lifetime. These imbalances derive from poor diet, sedentary lifestyle, injuries, surgery, toxic influences, suppression of emotions, and aging. Medical Qigong therapy and Qigong self-treatment, both enable the body to return to its natural state of health and harmony, relieving pain and stress and regulating hormones. Deep-seated emotions, which are considered a major root cause of illness within Chinese medicine, may be purged and released. This strengthens the body and regulates the internal organs, the nervous system and the immune system.
As preventive healthcare, Qigong may be utilized as part of our regular regime to protect the practitioner from both acute diseases as well as chronic degenerative conditions by strengthening immunity and resistance, regulating vital functions, enhancing vitality, and keeping the human energy system in perfect balance. After several centuries of working to conquer disease with chemicals, drugs, radiation, radical surgery and other technological solutions, and attempting to prevent disease with vaccinations, synthetic additives to fortify food, and all-out chemical warfare against germs, medical science is beginning to realize that ‘the best offense  is a good defense’, and that the best defense is a strong, well-balanced energy system.
