Building a Powerful Qi Field in Zhineng Qigong

Building a Qi field is an important aspect of Zhineng Qigong practice

What is a Qi field?

A collective Qi field is an energy field that is created when someone or a group of people practice together. It is believed that the Qi field amplifies and enhances the individual Qi of each practitioner, resulting in a more powerful and effective practice. Organizing a powerful Qi field can also be used for any other kind of life activity, such as for your study, professional projects, meetings, relationships, personal success etc. Dr Pang Ming, founder of Zhineng Qigong was one of the first people to introduce a collective Qi field, allowing practitioners to connect with a larger Qi field during their practice whether they practiced on their own, or in a group.

Dr Pang Ming’s idea of the Qi field differs from traditional ideas

Dr Pang’s idea of the Qi field contrasted traditional ideas in several ways. One key difference is that Dr. Pang viewed the Qi field as a universal energy field that encompasses not only the physical body, but also the environment, nature and other living beings. Traditional ideas focus primarily on the individual’s internal Qi and its flow within the body.

While some traditional practices emphasize static postures and breathing exercises to strengthen internal Qi, Dr. Pang believed that the Qi field could be cultivated and strengthened through the practice of qigong and by using one’s consciousness. By emphasizing the use of visualization, meditation, and movement students could enhance the flow of Qi.

Additionally, Dr. Pang emphasized the significance of group practice and collective Qi fields, suggesting that a strong collective Qi field could have a significant healing effect on individuals as well as the environments they are situated. This is different from some traditional practices, which placed a greater emphasis on individual Qi development and cultivation.

Benefits of building a Qi field during Zhineng Qigong practice

Overall, building a Qi field is an important aspect of Zhineng Qigong practice. Practitioners can increase their practice’s efficiency, deepen their comprehension of the practice, and cultivate a sense of community and connection with others by establishing a collective Qi field.

  • Accelerating the healing process. The collective energy from the group practicing in a Qi field has the potential to generate a strong healing energy. This can be directed towards individuals who need it the most.
  • Building a Qi field can deepen one’s own personal practice. When practicing in a group, practitioners can enhance their own Qi and deepen their understanding of the practice. They do this by drawing on the collective energy of the group.
  • Creating a sense of community and connection among practitioners. Practitioners can share their experiences and support one another in their practice by practicing together. Because it can provide a sense of comfort and belonging during a trying time, this can be especially helpful for people who are battling serious health issues.
  • Being connected with nature. When students connect with nature, the Hunyuan Qi of the universe allow nature’s Qi to nourish themselves.
