THE SCIENCE OF QI

What is Hunyuan Qi?

Hunyuan Qi is the unified, primordial Qi field from which all life emerges — and Hunyuan Qi Therapy is built on the science that studies it.

Hunyuan is a specific term in Zhineng Qigong Science, meaning the uniting, integrating, and transforming process of substances into a whole entity. Everything in the universe is formed through at least two things merging and transforming, and therefore everything in the universe exists in this state of wholeness.

The character Hun (混) means "to blend" or "to merge," and Yuan (元) means "origin" or "source." Hunyuan Qi is therefore the merged, original state — the unified field before things separate into distinct forms.

Hunyuan Qi is formed by the unification of three substances: physical matter, Qi, and information. All material has Hunyuan Qi within and around it. The Hunyuan Qi around a physical entity is called the Hunyuan Qi field, and the larger or denser the volume of material, the bigger and more concentrated this field will be.

Not only a tradition — a science

Hunyuan Qi Therapy does not rest on belief. It rests on Qigong Science — the systematic study of the effects and mechanisms of Qigong. Qigong Science aims to understand how Qigong works, the benefits it provides, and its potential as a complementary medicine.

The most important theory within this science is the Theory of Hunyuan Qi, which forms the basis of all technological applications of Zhineng Qigong. It discusses the impact of Qigong on the different forms of Hunyuan Qi, and it is the foundation on which Hunyuan Qi Therapy is built.

Hunyuan Qi Field Theory

The three levels of substances of the entity — information, energy, and physical matter — are harmonized and integrated into one Hunyuan Whole Entity. This is also called the "Hunyuan Qi field." Everything has its own field, and each one contains all the information, characteristics, functions, and abilities of the entity. It is the holistic life of the entity.

Within the Qi field of a thing, the information, energy, and physical matter entities are always exchanging with each other, transforming into each other, and balancing with each other. Together, they contact and interact with other objects in nature and follow the movements of nature.

Physical matter Qi field

The physical matter Qi field has all the information, characteristics, functions, and abilities of the matter. Furthermore, it is the holistic life of the matter. When the matter's structure is more dense, pure, clear, even, and transparent, the Qi field of that matter is stronger and more powerful.

Human body Qi field

The human body has three energy centers, representing the three layers of Qi field activity of human life: mental, emotional, and physical. These three layers are always integrated and harmonized. Together, they manifest the Hunyuan Whole entity of human life, and contact and interact with one another in nature.

Proven at the medicine-less hospital

Zhineng Qigong drew on traditional Qigong, Traditional Chinese Medicine, and Western Medicine — but it truly served as the unification of modern knowledge and ancient wisdom. Its proving ground was the Huaxia Zhineng Qigong Centre, the medicine-less hospital near Beijing, which treated over 200,000 patients with various chronic and incurable diseases and achieved an overall effectiveness rate of 95% — functioning entirely without medicine.

There, a range of experts worked together with Qigong practitioners, setting out to unravel the laws of human life. They assessed how Qigong could bring about changes in living and non-living things, and studied the effects of Hunyuan Qi. Dr. Pang Ming organized a series of workshops for scientific experts and doctors to bridge the gap between Zhineng Qigong and modern science, each lasting two weeks with 50–100 attendees. His Science Research Department studied universal and human life principles — most notably, sending information that directed universe Qi to create different kinds of energy (heat, electricity, magnetism, light, and more) — while giving Qigong treatments to patients and recording their recovery.

How we continue the science today

The Hunyuan Qi Therapy program is deeply influenced by the teachings and methods of the medicine-less hospital, under the guidance of Master Yuantong Liu — a student of Dr. Pang Ming and a former teacher at the Huaxia Center. While the program certifies individuals in Qigong therapy, it implements Qigong Science just as the medicine-less hospital did:

Study the Theory of Hunyuan Qi

Similarly to the Huaxia Center, we study theories like the Theory of Hunyuan Qi, and teach practitioners how to apply it technically, along with various Qigong practice methods.

Direct External Hunyuan Qi

We train practitioners to give Qi treatments to clients, as well as to send Qi to inanimate objects to change their state.

Capture the Data

During our retreats we capture data from clients who have come to improve their health holistically, and from experiments — one such experiment includes magnetizing a needle, evaluating the change in magnetization after sending Qi.

Document Recovery

We collect accounts of clients and practitioners who have recovered successfully with Hunyuan Qi Therapy — a living, growing record of outcomes.

Symptoms severity — Before vs After Holistic Health Retreat

During the Hunyuan Qi Therapy retreat in November 2023, several clients presented with an array of symptoms. This graph shows how the severity of these symptoms decreased after receiving Hunyuan Qi treatments and after learning and implementing various methods of Zhineng Qigong. Absent values, with no “After” score, relate to patients whose symptoms were completely resolved.

Why it matters for healing

Healing, in this framework, occurs when the body, the Qi, and the consciousness return to coherence with the Hunyuan Qi field. When we are out of coherence, we experience illness and dis-ease. When we return to coherence, the body's own self-healing abilities activate. This is not a metaphor — it is the same mechanism studied, measured, and documented at the Huaxia Center, and now continued through Hunyuan Qi Therapy.

From theory to practice

Hunyuan Qi Therapy translates this science into a structured therapeutic system. Through directed practice, Fa Qi (Hunyuan Qi Therapy treatment), and the cultivation of consciousness, practitioners learn to draw on and direct this unified field — for their own health and in service to others. To explore the practice this science is built upon, discover Zhineng Qigong or begin the certification program.
