Why Zhineng Qigong
Why Zhineng Qigong? The World's Leading Qigong Form
A modern system of Qigong developed by Dr. Pang Ming — refined with Chinese medicine theory and proven in clinical studies to actively restore your body's own self-healing powers.
Introducing Zhineng Qigong
Officially Recognised as the World's Leading Qigong Form
Zhineng Qigong is the further development of Qigong, which made its breakthrough in the early 1980s. The exercises were refined with the help of Chinese medicine theory and combined with existing elements of traditional Qigong and martial arts, developed by a Chinese Grandmaster who also held a degree as a Western doctor.
They focus on the active restoration of self-healing powers and thus also the healing of even serious illnesses. In today's society, stress and unhealthy diets are responsible for the majority of severe, yet common, illnesses — leading to mental and physical blockages in our bodies.
When absorption and elimination are unbalanced — too much junk food, too little exercise, or emotions suppressed to manage a demanding daily routine — these unhealthy lifestyles can have fatal consequences in the long run. Zhineng Qigong offers a way back to balance.

A Holistic Treatment
Healing the Whole Body — Body, Mind & Soul
Every disease is linked to a specific body part, and every body part to an emotional counterpart. Zhineng Qigong treats the whole person, creating a space to open up and release the blockages that keep illness in place.
Body
Through increased circulation, enhanced lymph flow, and slow detoxing, the body starts repairing itself. Zhineng Qigong acts on the sympathetic and parasympathetic nervous systems, strengthening the heart and correcting its rhythm to a healthy pace.
Mind
You gain new energy to focus your mind toward positivity and essential change. The practice creates a space to open up and release emotional blockages that performance pressure, longstanding stress, and suppressed emotions have built up.
Soul
The holistic treatment offers an active opportunity to feel and work on a new level of harmony and balance — a return to coherence between body, mind, and soul that supports lasting wellbeing.

The Lineage
Dr. Pang Ming & the Medicine-less Hospital
Zhineng Qigong was developed by Dr. Pang Ming, a Chinese physician and Qigong master trained in both Western and Traditional Chinese Medicine. He refined the system at the Hua Xia Zhineng Qigong Center, the world's largest medicine-less Qigong hospital, where hundreds of thousands of patients were treated using Qigong as the primary therapy — without medication or surgery.
Today, Dr. Pang Ming's methods continue to be taught worldwide by certified teachers and their successors, including Master Yuantong Liu and Britta Stalling, who bring the free Qigong Starter Kit to students around the world.
