I want to: read research about Qigong, attend a class, attend a workshop, get to know your teacher, browse for products, read testimonials.

To answer this question, perhaps we need to answer a more fundamental question: what is Qi? Qi is the life force that moves through and around our bodies, essential to the smooth operation of our body functions and the balance of our emotions. Its most tangible form is our breath, but Qi is also abundant in our food, in the sun, and in the chemistry of our relationships. Qigong is an ancient Chinese practice that has given way to most martial arts; its literal translation means "the cultivation of life force" (a combination of "Qi" and "Gong," which means to work, practice or cultivate). The movements are subtle and flowing and, for the most part, the feet stay in one place. It has been called a "moving meditation" by some. We life to see it as our divine dance with the graceful energy inside and around us.

There are many reasons why Qigong is one of the healthiest physical practices out there. We've compiled a list of some of the benefits below:

1. It activates your PARASYMPATHETIC NERVOUS SYSTEM, which allows for a more relaxed state, better circulation and greater creativity.

2. It enhances the FLOW OF ENERGY in our body and prevents blockages (and ultimately, chronic dis-eases such as diabetes, cancer, etc.) from forming by improving circulation in our micro-capillaries.

3. The standing form, when done with the proper posture and alignment, promotes the STRENGTHENING OF JOINTS and the BUILDING OF BONE MASS..

4. It gives us a very deep and spiritual practice without adhering to a specific religious denomination or tradition.

5. It's been said that people recover from illness at a much faster rate when they are a part of a supportive group. Attending Qigong classes regularly brings this supportive element to healing to a deeper level.

This list is a work in progress, so please come back to visit to find out more!

Here is a list of scientific studies done on the efficacy of Qigong as a medical treatment for many diseases. I've provided the study result, but if you want to read the full abstract, click on the title. You can purchase the full article either from us or from the publisher directly:

1. Impact of Medical Qigong on quality of life, fatigue, mood and inflammation in cancer patients: a randomized controlled trial.

Study Result: This study indicates that MQ can improve cancer patients' overall QOL and mood status and reduce specific side-effects of treatment. It may also produce physical benefits in the long term through reduced inflammation.

2. External Qi of Yan Xin Qigong differentially regulates the Akt and extracellular signal-regulated kinase pathways and is cytotoxic to cancer cells but not to normal cells.

Study Result: These findings suggest that external Qi of Yan Xin Qigong may differentially regulate these survival pathways in cancer versus normal cells and exert cytotoxic effects preferentially on cancer cells, and that it could potentially be a valuable approach for therapy of pancreatic carcinomas.

3. Use of qigong therapy in the detoxification of heroin addicts.

Study Result: Reduction of withdrawal symptoms in the qigong group occurred more rapidly than in the other groups. From day 1, the qigong group had significantly lower mean symptom scores than did the other groups (P <.01). Both the qigong and medication groups had much lower anxiety scores than did the control group (P<.01), and the qigong group had significantly lower anxiety scores than did the medication group (P<.01). All subjects had a positive response to the urine morphine test before treatment. Fifty percent of the qigong group had negative urine tests on day 3, compared to 23% in the control group and 8% in the medication group (P <.01). By day 5 of treatment, all subjects in the qigong group had negative urine tests, compared to day 9 for the medication group and day 11 for the control group.

4. Effects of Qigong on immune cells.

Study Result: The data indicates that a single Qigong intervention can increase the monocyte and lymphocyte numbers.

5. Effects of qigong on late-stage complex regional pain syndrome.

Study Result: Among the genuine qigong group, 82% reported less pain by the end of the first training session compared to 45% of control patients. By the last training session, 91% of qigong patients reported analgesia compared to 36% of control patients. Anxiety was reduced in both groups over time, but the reduction was significantly greater in the experimental group than in the control group.

6. Qigong exercise for the symptoms of Parkinson's disease: a randomized, controlled pilot study.

Study Result: More patients improved in the Qigong group than in the control group at 3 and 6 months (P = 0.0080 at 3 months and P = 0.0503 at 6 months; Fisher's exact test). At 12 months, there was a sustained difference between groups only when changes in UPDRS-III were related to baseline. Depression scores decreased in both groups, whereas the incidence of several nonmotor symptoms decreased in the treatment group only.

7. Long-term survival of a patient with widespread metastases from epithelial ovarian carcinoma receiving mind-body therapies: case report and review of the literature.

Study Description: Five-year survival of patients with stage IV epithelial ovarian carcinoma not treated after recurrence is almost non-existent in oncological literature. The authors report a patient almost 30 years after surgery of the primary epithelial ovarian carcinoma lesion and 15 years after recurrent disease and incomplete chemotherapy who is alive without evidence of disease. She received no conventional oncological therapy during the past 15 years but rather used many types of alternative medicine, predominantly mind body therapies. The authors review the relevant literature on this subject and describe what they believe to be the first report of long-term survival of such a patient.

Taoist Meditation Part I

The Five Stillnesses:

1 is for Fun:
Meditate with no goal in mind, just be-cause, for fun.  Fun...F...Fingers...keep your hands Folded left on top of the right in the same position while you meditate (or use any mudra-hand position you prefer).

2 is for Shoe:
Allow your energy to sink down into the lowest part of your body.  Feel the contact between your feet and the earth.  Keep your legs folded or in whatever position they are in for the length of the meditation.

3 is for Tree:
Feel that your spine is straight like a redwood tree reaching straight up into the sky.   At the same time, feel your root in the earth through your contact with the ground, as if you are being stretched gently from above and below.  Keep your spine straight while meditating.

4 is Door:
The eyes fall shut looking inward.   The ears listen inside.  The mouth swallows, relaxing, becoming fascinated by your inner world.  It is rich.  Keep the sense doors closed inwardly throughout the meditation. 

5 Alive:
Touch the tongue to the upper palate just above the upper teeth.  This connects the two energy pathways that formed the single cell membrane when we where conceived.  Later these channels carried nourishment through out our body from our mothers' umbilical cord.  When we touch the tongue to the upper palate we bring these channels alive again nourishing ourselves anew.  Keep the tongue here for the duration of the meditation.

These are the Five Stillnesses.  They are a meditation in themselves and form the foundation for deeper exploration into the inner world of the body's energy.  Practicing these accelerates your ability to drop into a meditative state.  The more you fidget the more your mind chatter will continue.  By regulating or body we regulate our mind.  In the Taoist Tradition each of our Enlightenments lay just beyond our mind chatter.

The ENERGY AWAKENING of Jeff Primack

(for more information go to www.qigong.com)

When I first discovered the ENERGY it was love at first site. The year was 1998 and I will never forget it. During a BREATH EMPOWERMENT this powerful vibration filled my entire body with the HOLY FIRE. Suddenly... in my third eye I saw a massive ball of blue and white light. I knew it was pure consciousness. A blast of energy shot through my body upon having that realization. This experience had long lasting repercutions. 15 years of chronic Asthma was BURNED out of my body. Since that day I have never needed an inhaler and my lungs are now strong.

This is the Breath Empowerment. I guided over one thousand people through this sacred experience during the years of 1999-2004. These were mostly private Qigong breathing sessions with my clients. In that time period I watched the most miraculous transformations take place. People would emerge with a more Universal perspective and greater clarity. Often times clients would feel they were floating off the ground. Energy this powerful is the medicine of the soul and the body.


From the years 2005-2008 I took another 10,000 people through Breath Empowerments in the Qigong seminars. And I still don't get bored of seeing people's profound transformation of body and spirit. The ENERGY in such concentrations is the single greatest awakening agent for experiencing ALL IS ONE consciousness. Here at Supreme Science Qigong we teach that the experiental state of being when one is in ALL IS ONE conscoiusness is what brings healing and miracles into manifestation.
