Qi Gong Today

Most important today is the part of Qi Gong that was developed for improving and strengthening health of body, mind and spirit.

Qi Gong for health is founded on empiricism or experience—trying what worked and what did not. Qi Gong is not based on superstition.

Qi Gong was used by ancient Chinese warriors as a life-long preparation for battle—preparing the mind, body and spirit for the conditions and demands of combat.

For the warrior fortunate enough to return from combat, Qi Gong had many remedies for the physical, mental and emotional injuries that may have occurred while fighting.

At the esoteric and philosophical level, Qi Gong was about finding the true immortal self or soul, and expressing it fully in a person’s life.

Many Qi Gong Masters have been reported to have lived to surprising ages of 150 years or more. And some were said to be immortals, so fully developed in consciousness and body that they were untouched by destructive and aging influences of the world.



An Ocean of Qi


Like catching an infinite wave, a wave of Qi takes you in the direction of life itself.

While others swim to shore with great exertion and difficulty, you are taken by the ocean's swell and placed gently upon dry ground.

Qi Is the Force of Life


Qi is life. It is everywhere, as everything.

Qi is directed and balanced by the body, mind and spirit.

Qi is influenced by nature and our environment.


From John Harrigan's book, The Qi of Life.

The Experience of a Master

A Master experiences all things as one thing. Life is simple.

Qi Gong State


As we act within the Qi Gong State...
life plays itself out in an effortless and beneficial way.

From John Harrigan's book, The Qi of Life

The Universal Quality of Life


The "work" of moving Qi, in genuine design, is the practice of validating our existence.

By working with Qi, we take on our role as creators--building the virtuous and acting within the consequent freedom of this endeavor.
