Qigong Quotes

“By embracing the principles of wu wei, we tap into a deeper wisdom that guides us toward harmonious solutions. We learn to trust the natural layout of the situation and find peace in the now, regardless of the challenges we face. If you want to have a bit of lighthearted fun with this oftentimes new-agey concept, and avoid taking it too seriously in its own rather playful spirit, imagine your ‘woo’ simply getting out of your ‘way.”

“I once asked Master B.P. Chan if the ancient qigong and martial arts masters had superior abilities to those of the present. He said, "In general, yes. But only because they were more patient." ... Most students abandon the practice and look for a new form of "entertainment". But it is precisely at this stage that the most lasting benefits are cultivated.”

“Wu wei is about aligning ourselves with the natural flow of life, letting go of control, and allowing things to unfold organically. To the extent that we’re usually our own worst enemy, wu wei is definitely about getting out of our own way.”

“Qi is the Chinese word for "life energy". According to Chinese medicine, qi is the animating power that flows through all living things. A living being is filled with it. A dead person has no more qi. A healthy individual has more qi than one who is ill. However health is more than an abundance of qi. Health implies that the qi in our bodies is clear, rather than polluted and turbid, and flowing smoothly, liek a stream, not blocked or stagnant.”

“When filled with qi, the body is like a tree branch filled with sap; it can bend and flow with the breeze, but it does not snap or lose its connection with the root. On the other hand, a stiff, dead branch is easily broken. Thus the adage of Lao Zi, "Concentrate the qi and you will achieve the utmost suppleness... Suppleness is the essence of life.”

“Aborigines, like other indian tribes, believe that people today have less of this life energy than in the past. Because life energy is the common source between human beings and nature, the loss of it parallels the loss of connection between human beings and their relations: the plants, animals, stones, water, sky, the Earth, and all of creation. Restoring life energy to its original condition of fullness may be the key to recovering lost potentials and realizing that "the Kingdom of Heaven is in our midst.”

“În termeni moderni, Tai Chi și QiGong sunt sisteme antice de biofeedback și condiționare clasică. Medicii chinezi tradiționali ai antichității au constatat că tendința noastră naturală este să acumulăm stres, care ne îmbâcsește creierul. Prin urmare, au creat exerciții care antrenează mintea și corpul nu numai spre a elimina încontinuu stresul, ci și pentru a schimba practic modul în care organismul face față stresului viitor [..] .”

“Wu wei teaches that genuine strength lies not in forcing our way through life like the proverbial bull in the china shop, but in moving with the current, adapting to changing circumstances, and finding peace even when surrounded by swirling eddies of chaos. As such it’s a powerful reminder that sometimes the most effective action is … none at all.”

“For optimal health, we need body and spirit, exercise (ming) and meditation, awareness of the inner world and the outer. In other words, health requires balance and moderation. The goal of qigong may be summarized as xing ming shuang xiu,spirit and body equally refined and cultivated. Cultivate your whole being, as you would cultivate a garden with attention, care, and even love.”
