What is Qigong?
Qigong (Qi Gong/Chi Kung) is the Chinese discipline devoted to development of understanding, awareness and the harmonizing of one’s mind, body, qi (chi) and spirit. It plays a strong part in Chan Buddhism (Zen) and Taoist philosophy, as well as Traditional Chinese Medicine and Chinese Martial Arts.
Qigong has been used extensively in China as part of traditional Chinese medicine, and is included in the curriculum of Chinese Universities. Throughout the world qigong is now recognized as a form of complementary and alternative medicine, with positive effects on diverse ailments.
Qigong practice involves rhythmic breathing, coordinated with slow stylized repetition of fluid movement, and a calm mindful state.
From a philosophical perspective Qigong is believed to help develop human potential, allow access to higher realms of awareness, and awaken one’s true nature.
People practice qigong for many different reasons, including for exercise and recreation, prevention and self-healing, meditation and self-cultivation, and training for martial arts.
As a healing art, Qigong practitioners focus on prevention and self-healing, traditionally viewed as balancing the body’s energy meridians and enhancing the intrinsic capacity of the body to heal.
Ziran Qigong
Ziran Qigong is a progressive set of exercises that retains all the original concepts and benefits associated with traditional Qigong, while using terms and expressions and following a progression of practice that modern people can associate with and understand.
“The main aim of Ziran Qigong is to obtain an understanding of one’s mind and body and the link between the two.”
Our practice of Qigong has been passed down via the Zi Ran Qigong lineage and has been refined through many generations throughout the ages. Master Deming Liu is the inheritor of the Ziran Qigong system, as well as being an active researcher into Qigong.
Ziran Qigong training concentrates and works to develop this link between mind and body. Through Movement of Qigong and Taoist Tranquility Meditation, Ziran Qigong aims to create emptiness and stillness, allows one to drop life’s baggage, cleaning out the unneccessary emotional belongings and attachments, this can develop the inner peace and strength to help deal with day to day stress and heal mental and physical sickness.
动静无始，变化无端；
虚虚实实，自然而然。
There is no beginning or end in movement, There is no beginning or end in stillness, change is instant, Movement is within stillness.
True or false, real or empty,
All actions are spontaneous,
Actionless action.

Good day,
I am writing because I have been practicing this Qigong for about two months now and have felt a significant increase in my overall health. I was very ill for four months and could not walk for the first month. And had very little capabilities for the remaining three. I started with this exercise because of the easy to follow movements and awesome music. Since then I have begun a two a day regimen morning and night. I find myself calmer and more open to lifes energy. I am curious if there is any information that would explain each movements purpose. As I live in Alaska and cannot attend the classes, I feel that any related education that is available would compliment the exercises natural healing abilities. Thank you for your very awesome Qigong. Its much appreciated.

Hi Sherry,
Yes, it demonstrates the meridian and Qi flow linked to each element and takes you through each element/meridian step by step. In addition, there’s a bonus Tai Chi sequence on the DVD too. You’ll enjoy it! If you need any other information, do email me at [email protected]
Comments: I have been studying tai chi / qi gong for ten years. My teacher is currently teaching the Wu Xing Qi Gong (Five Element Qi Gong)as seen in the video at http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=E-EA86oKkPs. Master Liu De Ming does a beautiful presentation of the form. The video is very helpful to me in learning the form.
I have a couple of questions:
1. What are the names in English of the 9 parts of the form?
2. Is there a written description of the 9 parts anywhere?
3. If the form is called 5 Element Qi Gong in English, why are there 9 parts.
I have seen other 5 Element Qi Gong forms that have 5 parts.
Any info about the above would be appreciated.
Regards,

Thanks for appreciating the video, Arthur. I’ve sent answers via email.
This Qi-Gong is quite easy for beginners and very powerful.
Thanks for Liu de Ming’s video. It’s a so beautiful moment.
I have the same question than Arthur in USA:
1. What are the names in English of the 9 parts of the form?
2. Is there a written description of the 9 parts anywhere?
3. If the form is called 5 Element Qi Gong in English, why are there 9 parts.
and why can we found qi-gong of the 5 animals with the same name in chinese?
Thanks a lot for the answer.
I’m french and i hope my english is understandable.
