1. The Core Theory: Pang He Ming and the Three-Level Matter Theory
This section introduces the unique philosophical and scientific foundation of Zhineng Qigong, highlighting the founder's contribution.
- Introduction to the Founder: Emphasize Professor Pang He Ming (also known as Pang Ming)—a renowned Qigong scientist who integrated Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM), Qigong, and modern scientific knowledge. Introduce his goal in founding Zhineng Qigong: to systematize and scientifically explain ancient Qigong theories, making them highly effective and safe for public health.
- Evolution of the Core Theory:
- Hunyuan Entirety Theory: Introduce this as the initial philosophical basis, stressing that all things in the universe, including the human body, are composed of "Qi" and exist in an inseparable, unified whole.
- Development of the Three-Level Matter Theory: Emphasize this as Professor Pang's deep scientific refinement of the "Hunyuan Entirety Theory." It classifies matter into Form Matter, Energy Matter, and Information Matter (or Intent Matter). The essence of Zhineng Qigong practice is using the Intent (Information Matter) to regulate Qi (Energy Matter), which in turn affects the Body (Form Matter), leading to improved health and intelligence.
- Appeal: Highlight that it offers a scientific and operational framework for understanding traditional Qigong, transforming it from metaphysics into a repeatable and learnable life science technology.
2. The Practice System: Open and Integrated Methods
This section describes the practical characteristics of Zhineng Qigong that distinguish it from other Qigong or meditation practices.
- The Three Methods: Focus on the core practices, such as the Lifting Qi Up and Pouring Qi Down Method (捧气贯顶法) and the Body-Mind Form (形神庄), emphasizing that their movements are simple and easy to learn, yet profound in their inner meaning.
- Openness and External Qi: Introduce the concept of Wai Qi (External Qi)—drawing the natural Hunyuan Qi from the outside world into the body—and the Qifield (组场) concept, where a collective practice creates a powerful energy field to accelerate therapeutic effects.
- Key Materials: Provide video links or illustrations of the practice steps (stressing standardization), along with explanations of the scientific principles behind the Qifield.
3. Health Benefits: Healing and Self-Mastery
This is the most compelling section for foreign audiences, focusing on results and application.
- Self-Healing: Zhineng Qigong is often referred to as "the combination of pharmacotherapy and Qigong therapy," stressing that practitioners actively use consciousness and Qi to improve health, rather than just passively receiving treatment.
- Chronic Condition Improvement: Gather and present summaries of application cases regarding Zhineng Qigong's effectiveness in improving chronic pain, hypertension, anxiety, and insomnia (preferably including English clinical research abstracts).
- Quality of Life Enhancement: Describe Qigong's role in boosting concentration, vitality, emotional stability, and overall well-being.
4. International Spread and Global Impact
This section covers the global acceptance, popularity, and cultural exchange value of Zhineng Qigong.
- History and Scale: Mention that in the 1990s, it was hailed by China's State Sports General Administration as the "best mass fitness exercise" and detail its spread and development overseas, particularly in Europe and the Americas, such as various Zhineng Qigong Centers.
- Cultural Bridge: Emphasize that Zhineng Qigong is an effective way to understand Traditional Chinese Culture, Daoist Philosophy, and the wisdom of Chinese medicine for health preservation.
- Key Materials: Collect websites, event photos, and testimonials from overseas Zhineng Qigong organizations or communities.
5. Research and Future Development: Scientific Validation
Provide supporting evidence for Western audiences who value scientific verification.
- Research Foundation: Introduce the large volume of clinical practice and scientific observation conducted at the Huaxia Zhineng Qigong Recovery Center in China, along with summaries of relevant research papers.
- Qifield Experiments: Describe attempts at scientific measurement of the physical or biological effects of "Qi," such as the impact of a Qigong master's energy on water molecular structure, plant growth, or cell activity.
- Future Outlook: Discuss Zhineng Qigong's huge potential in the global public health sector as a non-pharmacological, low-cost method of health promotion.
