History of Wisdom Healing (Zhineng) Qigong
Wisdom Healing Qigong was developed by Dr. Pang Ming, a Qigong grandmaster trained in both Western medicine and Traditional Chinese Medicine. In the 1980's he founded the world's largest medicine-less Qigong hospital known as the Huaxia Zhineng Qigong Training and Recovery Center. Through scientific research (3000 research papers were published during the 1990's) and more than 30 years of using Qigong practices, Wisdom Healing Qigong has developed into a system of working with energy to improve health conditions and enhance wellness. Master Mingtong Gu, one of the teachers trained by Dr. Pang brought Wisdom Healing Qigong to Petaluma, CA, established the Chi Center and moved to NM in 2016.
Wisdom Healing Qigong is a system and a set of practices that can awaken, transform and integrate the entire body, from the cellular to the spiritual, restoring a person to their natural, healthy and balanced state of being.

Thank you soooo very much for sending me your music meditation. It’s absolutely gorgeous and stunning. It really moved me and I could feel it deep in my heart center, so beautiful. I’m blissed out after listening to it!!!
ROSE
Your work is amazing!!! My daughter has severe anxiety with flying. Yesterday she flew to Miami. In preparation I shared your recording with her. When she landed she sent me a text and said that she listened to your recording three rounds and it helped her get through the flight. Thank you so much for sharing your gift with me.
LINLING

THOR (Healing from MS)
I want to tell you that I have been addicted to your overtones for days now. It has taken me to really cool places, very quickly. I’m not able to lay in bed all that often, sometimes I have anxiety to do so. The other day I got in bed and listened to your overtones three times back to back. While I did, my body was moving and feeling fantastic. I picked up my phone with my right hand, which I can’t usually do. It was a very soothing, comfortable place to be! I want to pass on a big-time thank you and job well done.

I was at last able to listen to your absolutely transcendent, ethereal, angelic and delightfully absorbing overtoning. Such a beautiful celebration of sound and harmony. And pure healing intention… at least, that's how I perceive it to be. Thank you for sharing this with me. I truly love it.
