Zhineng Qigong is also called Chineng qigong by some Western practitioners. Zhineng refers to wisdom and ability. Zhineng Qigong was created in the early 1980s by Dr He Ming Pang. It is very effective for healing, improving the level of self-cultivation, developing human potential, etc. Over almost thirty years of development, millions of people have benefited from Zhineng Qigong. Today it has spread all over the world benefitting more and more people. Zhineng Qigong is a life science based on systematic theory and methods. It outlines the laws of the universe, including those of human life. It explains the relationship between human life activity and the natural world, society, etc. Zhineng Qigong is an open style practice. This means that from the beginning, one opens one’s mind and qi to the external world and exchanges qi with it. This contrasts with the closed style of most traditional qigong, where the practitioner focuses inside the body for much of their practice. Zhineng Qigong practitioners actively use consciousness to mobilise qi in order to transform their body, qi and mind as well as the world around them. Zhi means wisdom and neng means capability. So Zhineng Qigong is a way of adjusting mind, qi and body to increase wisdom and ability.
