Qigong theory says that one’s health depends on the body’s normal life processes, which are all dependent on the unblocked flow of life energy. Illness is the disturbance of this life flow. Doctors would say functioning is impaired. Qigong doesn’t focus on the cause of the diseases, but on restoring the total physiological balance of people. If life energy is unblocked, body processes would normalize and illness would naturally disappear. For example, people have unhealthy bacteria in their body but don’t get sick. Why? It is because their body functions and immune systems are strong. They resist the illness. However, qigong doesn’t rely on resisting diseases. It eliminates the source of the diseases altogether, rather than leaving it in the body. In experiments, we see that a person’s life energy can kill bacteria outside himself. Practicing qigong would certainly kill bacteria within the body. |
