Full Transcription: How Qi Gong Heals

Introduction

For today’s qi topic, let’s take a look at qi gong and healing.
It is possible for the body to be healed with qi.
Qi is one of the many body systems, but it has an oversized contribution to the healing process, meaning the body itself does the healing, but qi is a major contributor to that process, and can speed the healing of slow injuries and even initiate the healing of very stubborn issues within the body.

The Role of Qi in Cellular Healing

If you’ve been watching the other videos, then you can probably guess as to how part of that is accomplished.
If we give each cell in the body the qi that it needs in order to perform well, the natural healing process, the natural physiology, will work at its peak function, and we will see healing occur, physical healing occur, much faster than it would without having that peak function.

So simply doing qi gong while you have an injury or illness will improve the healing of that injury or illness.

Approaching Chronic or Stubborn Issues

If we are looking at chronic issues or stubborn issues, or let’s say you haven’t been doing qi gong, but are introducing yourself into qi gong–
Then we have a variety–
We can break down this process a little bit more and see what we need to do in order to get the body to really heal at its peak.

Healing Qi Imbalances

In general, illnesses that are caused by an imbalance of the qi will heal very, very quickly when that imbalance is corrected.
That can occur if we sit back and look at aches and pains, swelling within the body, issues with digestion, some issues with sleep, back pain, other factors like that.
Those can all be caused exclusively by an imbalance of the qi.

Now that doesn’t mean that is the only possible cause, but it can be an exclusive cause.
If that is the case, then correcting the qi will result in at times, an instantaneous correction of the physical problem.
That does not occur certainly all the time, but is certainly within the realm of common activity.
I would put it like right in the middle at the average for that type of thing.

Qi Deficiency and Distribution Problems

Other illnesses or injuries are oftentimes caused in part by an imbalance at the qi.
So an individual has depleted their qi.
An individual has built too much qi, which is very rare outside of practitioners for the most part.
When westerners, it’s far more common to have a complete depletion of the qi than it is to have a significant overcharge of the qi.

It can be caused by the distribution of the qi in your body being incorrect, and that I’ve talked about that in prior videos.
One of the major functions of qi gong is to actually facilitate correct distribution.
You don’t want all your resources going to the wrong spot and clogging up the works, while at the same time starving another portion of your system.
And qi gong is excellent at fixing that.

Destructive vs. Nourishing Qi

The other factor, the one we have not discussed in this sequence of videos, is that some forms of qi are not advantageous, so they are destructive to you.
And some forms of qi are very nourishing to you and will help the body perform better, simply because you’re taking in better quality qi, or holding better quality qi within your body.

Those destructive forms of qi are sometimes produced by microorganisms, sometimes are within the environment itself.
For example, a disease organism.
One of the things that it does when it enters the body is it attempts to make the body more hospitable to it, both at the physiological level and at the qi level.
And so the organism creates an environment where that qi is destructive to you, but productive to it.
It likes those conditions.
You do not like those conditions.
So we have a hostile relationship with those destructive organisms.

At other times, the destructive qi can come from the environment itself, that is, you happen to be in an area that’s populated or filled with this qi which is harmful to you.
And very gradually the body absorbs it.

Ingested Destructive Qi

Lastly, you can ingest destructive forms of qi, so it can be present within your food sources.
So you take it in to the body, and it starts to mess up the works.

Qi Gong as a Method of Detoxifying Qi

So in those circumstances, what we attempt to do through qi gong is to create a proper inflow and outglow of the qi, so that the body can rid itself of those destructive forms.
That proper inflow will also allow you to start compensating for extreme deficiency.
So if you’ve simply used up your qi, you want to take in more qi in order for the body to heal.

Summary of the Healing Process

So in our little nutshell talk today, what we’re looking at when we’re looking at reasons that the body can be corrected by qi, or how we would set out to correct the body’s flows by qi, we look at what?

• Distribution, our old friend, through qi gong.
• Overcoming deficiency. That occurs by taking in more qi through various absorptive practices.
• And encouraging the body’s own mechanisms to dump destructive forms of the qi from the body.

There is a limit in the body’s ability to do that naturally.
And then also, there is a limit to the body’s ability to do that through qi gong.
The body will correct large numbers of issues through qi gong, but it is limited.

When Qi Gong Alone Isn’t Enough

Outside of that limit?
Generally, those are addressed by herbs, for example, or by qi gong healers, who are capable of affecting larger imbalances and larger collections of destructive qi forms.

You can also look at immersing yourself into areas of the natural world that are filled with constructive or beneficial qi forms to you.
And if you’re ingesting it, of course, then you would want to stop that and start ingesting reasonably healthy, nutritious food that does not possess those qualities.

Closing Thoughts

Okay. In a nutshell, that’s how we can approach disease and injury through qi in order to return it, the entire body, to a healthier state and how you can set out to bring those factors into your life.

Thank you very much.
