Qigong Theory (Paperback) (ISBN-13: 9781893104167)

Qigong Theory is the third book in the author's series translating and interpreting the lectures and writings of Dr. Pang Ming's innovative system of Zhineng Qigong. This remarkable book represents Hou Hee Chan's diligent interpretation of Dr. Pang Ming's lectures and book on Hun Yuan Wholistic Theory. The author has chosen to interpret and focus on the theory subjects specifically related to Qigong and has thus produced a work that is relevant to a wide-ranging audience of Qigong students, scholars and interested readers.The author notes in Chapter One that the Hun Yuan Wholistic Entity is "an entity in which physical structures and functions are merged as one." Hun Yuan Wholistic Theory "explores the Wholistic Entity's formation, characteristics, and laws that govern its changes." The Introduction and Chapter One cover a wide range of topics such as the traditional components of Qigong Theory in which human beings and Nature are considered as one entity; the substance and levels of the Universe; the characteristics of the human body as a Wholistic Entity; and Traditional Qigong's Qi Theory describing Qi's functions and changes. Further chapters deepen our awareness of Qigong concepts used to describe the nature and characteristics of the Wholistic Entity. For example, Chapter Four focuses in depth on Human Hun Yuan Qi, exploring the evolution, movement and formation of Hun Yuan Qi and its existence in the three forms of Jing, Qi and Shen.Although this book is a comprehensive explanation of Qigong Theory, the author also explains the link between Qigong Theory and Qigong Practice. As he states in Chapter Six: Conclusion: "Zhineng Qigong separates theories and practice methods into two systems. Hun Yuan Wholistic Theory is the foundation theory and explains the relationship between Nature and humans, consciousness and the physical body, and the body and functions. Hun Yuan Wholistic Theory also explains the functions of Qi that would become the foundation of the Zhineng Qigong practice."The process of evolution in Hun Yuan Wholistic Theory is described as an "upward spiral, not an enclosed circle." Human beings are in the middle of this upward spiral of evolution. Zhineng Qigong's emphasis on the mind's (Shen) function and ability to direct body functions towards a balanced state of health and wellness are a profound inspiration for an upward spiral of consciousness and evolution for humanity.
