What is Qigong?
Qigong can be described as a mind-body-spirit practice that improves one's mental and physical health by integrating posture, movement, breathing technique, self-massage, sound, and focused intent. There are likely thousands of qigong styles, schools, traditions, forms, and lineages, each with practical applications and different theories about Qi (“subtle breath” or “vital energy”) and Gong (“skill cultivated through steady practice”). (https://nqa.org)
What are the Benefits of Qigong?
Qigong opens the flow of energy in meridians used in acupuncture and Chinese medicine. It enhances our ability to feel the Life Force underlying the physical world and to deepen our communication with it. Physically, slow gentle qigong movements warm tendons, ligaments, and muscles; tonify vital organs and connective tissue; and promote circulation of body fluids (blood, synovial, lymph). Thousands of studies have shown qigong effective in helping to heal life challenges ranging from high blood pressure and chronic illness to emotional frustration, mental stress, and spiritual crisis. (https://nqa.org)
History of Qigong
The earliest beginnings of qigong are hidden within the mists of antiquity. The first type of this practice probably emerged naturally in the simple fields of ancient China. Slow-paced farmers, deeply attuned to the rhythms of nature, observed ways in which life was nurtured in plants and animals, and then, by a sort of entrainment, imitated those principles.
The documented history of what we know as qigong goes back approximately 2,500 years, but Chinese archaeologists and historians have found references to qigong-like techniques from at least 5,000 years ago. Through the centuries, Qigong has had continuous evolutionary development and many names. The name “qigong” wasn’t in general use until the twentieth century. The most commonly used early name was dao-yin, which can be interpreted as “leading and guiding the energy.”
The earliest known qigong-like movements were animal dances, perhaps first performed to counteract the effects of a cold and damp climate. Ancient Chinese shamans, often wearing a bearskin with four golden eyes on the head, would dance through a village to drive out pestilence and demons. A parade of villagers, wearing masks of various animals, would follow. These animal-posture dances have been found depicted in rock art throughout China. Also, archaeologists discovered a coffin containing a well-preserved, now-famous silk panel with captions as well as pictures.
About 1122 B.C., The Book of Change (I Ching) first recorded the concept of qi or vital energy. Studying the relationship of three powers—heaven, earth, and man—was an early step in the development of qigong. Around 450 B.C., Lao Tzu, the founder of Taoism, described breathing techniques in his book Dao De Jing, recommending that the breath be collected and allowed to descend in the body. Interest in breath and life force (qi) was heightened during this period and became one of the roots of Chinese Medicine, along with the concepts of yin and yang and the five elements.
Historical references indicate that qigong-like practices were common in royal and aristocratic households from ancient times. Huang Ti (The Yellow Emperor) is considered the originator of many health and longevity practices linked to qigong. His discourses were recorded in a text called The Yellow Emperor’s Classic of Internal Medicine, which first appeared in writing about 300 B.C. and is still considered the bible of Chinese medicine.
Beginning about 200 B.C. and extending to about 500 A.D., Buddhism and yoga meditation techniques that had been practiced in India for thousands of years were brought into China and absorbed into the Chinese culture. These techniques, along with Taoist internal alchemy, brought a new era to qi gong, which began to be practiced at a deeper, internal-functioning level. However, these teachings were kept secret for religious purposes and passed down to only a few specially chosen disciples in each generation. For hundreds of years, they were never taught to laymen.
Although there is archeological evidence that dao-yin was sometimes coupled with military drills at an earlier time, it was around 500 A.D. that a Buddhist monk, Bodhidarma, came from India to the Shao Lin Temple in China (where he was called Ta Mo). He is credited with unifying the spiritual and martial branches of qigong, by teaching ailing sedentary monks to strengthen their bodies through movements, while also teaching pugilistic martial artists how to softly empower their fighting through internal and spiritual practices. After his death, qigong-like trainings for martial arts continued to develop as it became evident that much advantage could be gained through these methods. These, too, were kept secret so that enemies couldn’t use them to also gain advantage.
The secrecy around qigong teachings led to thousands of different styles. Each family or village, each religious or martial-arts group, in different areas of that large country, developed their practices separately, for their own particular purposes, and passed them down only selectively within their own lineage. A few examples of distinct styles are Tai Chi, Animal Frolics, Eight Pieces of Brocade, Swimming Dragon, Microcosmic Orbit, and Six Syllable Secret.
For the general population, qigong was within traditional Chinese medicine, where many of the famous physicians were also qigong masters. Qigong was their treatment of choice, and if that practice wasn’t enough to restore balance, the physician prescribed an herbal formula and/or acupuncture. Advanced masters sometimes used “emitted” qi as a strong boost for the patient’s energy field. Over the years, medical qigong became the leading edge, providing steady development and greater systemization of qigong methods.
A huge cultural change occurred after the fall of the Ch’ing Dynasty when Cultural Revolution leaders attempted to modernize the society and reorder it according to Communist principles. Ancient practices like Taoism and Chinese Medicine were questioned and devalued as archaic. Anything that was remotely connected with religion was politically taboo. Qigong practitioners were careful to avoid government scrutiny, because anyone involved in the prohibited pursuits would likely be put in jail. For this reason, the flourishing development of qigong came to a temporary standstill.
Fortunately, revolutionary leaders fairly soon realized that it was wise to continue Chinese medicine, and thus, under that umbrella, qigong was also lifted from the ban. Qigong masters were set free, and often the very authorities who had put them in jail started wanting their services. Some even commanded well known qigong masters to come and heal them of their ailments, in what amounted to something like a “house arrest.”
Western influences and technology were coming into China more and more by this time. As one example, Dr. Qian Xue-sen, a notable figure in Chinese science, had studied at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology in the 1930’s and later served as Goddard Professor of Jet Propulsion at the California Institute of Technology. Back in China, he began to advocate using science and technology to research qigong and Chinese medicine.
In 1985, the government approved formation of the China Qigong Science Association. Since then hundreds of controlled scientific studies of qigong have been carried out, all showing positive benefits of the practice. Qigong was being taught openly at this time, and by 1992 it was estimated that seventy to eighty million Chinese were practitioners.
During the1990’s qigong gained world-wide recognition. International conferences were held in Berkeley, California (1990) and in Vancouver, Canada (1995). By 1996, there were more than one thousand published abstracts available in English on some aspect of qigong research. Magazines appeared, such as Qi: The Journal of Traditional Eastern Health and Fitness.
In 1997, it was estimated that there were over one-hundred-thousand qigong practitioners outside of China, with several thousand of those being in the United States and Canada. The practice has grown exponentially since then, making qigong, alongside yoga, one of the most popular forms of healing exercise in the world today.
FOR FURTHER READING:
Qigong is a rich and diverse subject, even when focusing only on its history. Those wanting more detail can benefit from comprehensive coverage in The Way of Qigong; the Art and Science of Chinese Energy Healing, a scholarly volume by Kenneth S. Cohen. Especially informative—in a section called “Life Energy Around the World”—is an examination of the commonality in beliefs and practices of many early civilizations, especially regarding the connection of “breath” with life-force, spirit, and soul.
Mastering Miracles, by Dr. Hong Liu and Paul Perry, is a biographical story set in the time period when China was once again embracing qigong after the Cultural Revolution. In addition to memorable personal tales giving vivid pictures of that era and also relating many cases of amazing results from the use of external (emitted) qi, this book is valuable for its description of numerous scientific studies.
For fuller detail about influential personages and written records relating to qigong during the different dynasties in China, it can be helpful to consult Harnessing the Power of the Universe; A Complete Guide to the Principles and Practice of Chi-Gung, by Daniel Reid. An online search for “Qigong history” brings up several articles that focus on dynastic information, including A Brief History of Qigong, by Yang, Jwing-Ming, and a Wikipedia article.

Free Full Moon Distance Reiki Healing #88
Participate from Anywhere in the World!
Tuesday, June 10, 2025
9:00 PM to 10:00 PM EDT
Photo credit: Old Farmers' Almanac
Participate from anywhere in the world! (This event is remote. Reiki transcends time and space! See below.)
Full Strawberry Moon!
https://www.almanac.com/content/full-moon-June#
On Tuesday, June 10, from 9:00 to 10:00 PM EDT (the moon reaches full at 3:44 AM on June 11), I will offer a free distance Reiki healing session.
How to participate:
If you are able at the time of the session to meditate or just relax in a quiet place, that would be great, but it's not necessary - all that is required is that you are willing to receive the healing energy, which goes where it is most needed. Just let me know that you want to be included and I will include you! (You do not "attend", I send the distance Reiki to you where you are.) If you like, you can let me know any specific intentions you have, and/or additional beings you'd like me to include. I'm doing this to support my goal of helping as many beings as possible. Use the contact form on the home page of my website, view my Facebook page event and choose "going" or "interested", or send a private message or email with your name and any additional information about your request.
I do this every month, so if you want to stay informed, "like" my Facebook page, "get notifications", and send me a friend request (@Joanna Zoe Christopher).
Animals, businesses, and other people or situations may also be included.
I always include all of my students and clients, past and present, homeless people and animals, and animals in shelters/inhumane conditions.
To amplify the healing I am sending, say the following (or make up your own):
"I welcome all healing energy for my best well-being. I am willing to release patterns that fail to serve my greatest good. I request to be free from people, places, things, and situations that drain my energy. I invite what is needed into my life so that I can live my happiest life for my greatest good and for the greatest good of all! And so it is done."
This event is free and donations for energy exchange are gratefully accepted.
Many thanks to those who have participated and donated to this monthly event!

Take your Reiki Level II training to the next level, third degree (Shinpiden - Master Teacher) which allows you to teach Reiki energy healing to others as a professional and perform attunements! This class is focused on healing humans with a brief discussion about animals.
I also teach a few important things you should know from Qigong to enhance your practice (not usually included in a Reiki class)!
Topics will include a quick review of Level I and II Reiki, in depth study of third degree Usui Reiki, attunement to the Usui and Tibetan master/power symbols, mantras, guidance on conducting classes and attunements, and more. We will also practice on each other.
Learning and practicing Reiki also greatly enhances our spiritual development in unforeseen ways!
You will receive a manual and certificate with your training.
Class will be in-person only.
You can bring your lunch or we can order from any nearby restaurant.
Advancement to Master Teacher Level brings your skills and abilities to an elevated level so that you can teach, attune, and certify others.
Registration closes the day of class.
$395 each student. A non-refundable deposit of $125 will reserve your seat, balance to be paid by the day of class.
Provide your Level I/II Certificates.
Limit 7 students.
Please call/message for registration and/or questions.

Discover Your 5 Unique Core Values
~Artist Unknown
Would you like to turbo charge your life and set the right goals for you? What we can conceive and believe, we can achieve! What are your 5 unique core values? What good is it to discover them? Read on!
When I am facing any difficulty, I call upon these 5 unique core values that make me who I am: courage, creativity, learning, nature, and persistence - and they strengthen my confidence that I AM able to do whatever I decide to do! Each person has different values that help us succeed in life, and consciously knowing what they are, is extremely empowering!
What would you like to manifest in your life? Who are you really? Do you know what YOUR five unique core values are? These are YOUR TRUE values, not what you "should" value, but what YOU TRULY value! You might be surprised at what you come up with! Join me for this powerful journey of self discovery, the first step on the path of intentional living through self empowerment.
We'll do some light hypnosis enhanced by Karuna Reiki ® as a group to access our inner wisdom, and after that I will work with each participant individually to pinpoint the right values for you. We'll also do a brief individual assessment of life balance and I will help everyone set a few powerful goals, in alignment with their 5 unique core values. We will close with a brief guided meditation to begin the exciting process of manifestation!
Invest in yourself and your future! Call, email, or fill the contact form on my website to request your workshop either for yourself alone or a group.
