Can Ancient Qigong Wisdom align with Modern Science? - Kristen Pols
19/11/2025 | 31 min
In today’s Qigong podcast, Kristen Pols, the author of the new ebook, Qi Science and Modern Medicine, shares her incredible work finding parallels between zhineng qigong and modern medicine.The foundation of the discussion is Qi study, defined as the study of life energy - the vital force that animates all living things. This ancient philosophy describes how energy, matter, and information interact to sustain and balance the body. Practices such as Qigong and Hunyuan Qi Therapy are tools designed to cultivate and direct this energy for health, vitality, and self-healing.Kristen highlights that these ancient concepts find confirmation in modern science. We discuss how neuroplasticity allows our brains to rewire themselves through mental practices, and how epigenetics demonstrates the ability to influence gene expression without altering DNA. A core concept in zhineng qigong is the Yi Yuan Ti—using consciousness and focused intention to direct the Hunyuan Qi. As the principle states, "Conscious Intention Guides Qi" (Ying leads Qi). This conscious practice, utilizing meditation, visualization, and journaling, serves as a mechanism to activate the body's self-healing processes.Qi Science and Modern Medicine aims to help people who may be skeptical find confirmation of these powerful ideas in Western science, building the necessary trust for the intention to work properly and supporting self-advocacy in health. While limitations exist due to a lack of research funding in the West, there is no scientific evidence that contradicts Qi science; rather, these practices are projected to reshape the way we look at medicine and healthcare in the futureJoin Kristen as she explores: Can ancient Qigong wisdom align with modern science?Mindful Moments: Qigong and Hunyuan Qi Therapy cultivate and regulate Qi for health and self-healing.Zhineng Qigong aligns with modern research in neuroplasticity, epigenetics, and quantum biology.Qigong uses Yi Yuan Ti (consciousness) and intention to guide Hunyuan Qi.The core Qigong principle: “Conscious Intention Guides Qi” (Ying leads Qi).Qigong improves stress reduction, mental balance, and body-mind coherence.It teaches the Three Treasures (Chen, Jing, Qi), mirroring matter, energy, and information.Quantum biology supports the idea of the body as an energetic, information-driven system.Qigong encourages self-healing and personal responsibility in one’s health journey.Practicing Qigong can influence gene expression, similar to epigenetics.A simple Qigong start: take a deep morning breath and observe your feelings and environment.🌐 Episode page: https://www.zhineng-qigong-students-hub.com/kristenpols1Links and Resources:📖 Click here to read the eBook Qi Science and Modern Medicine: https://www.zhineng-qigong-students-hub.com/product/qi-science-and-modern-medicine-e-book/🎮 Discover Qigong Game: https://www.zhineng-qigong-students-hub.com/discover-qigong/🎁 Discover the power of Qigong with this easy-to-follow Starter Kit: https://qigong-starter-kit.com/ 🎙️🌟Explore more podcasts, events, and resources visit:https://www.zhineng-qigong-students-hub.com/Connect on Facebook, Instagram, Youtube

Qigong Therapy for Stroke Recovery & Brain Damage - Meghna Patel
05/11/2025 | 39 min
In today’s Qigong podcast, guest Meghna Patel, a Hunyuan Qi therapist based in Germany, shared numerous success stories of natural healing involving Zhineng Qigong, often succeeding where Western medicine suggested recovery was "not possible". She detailed the profound recovery of a friend following a dangerous hemorrhagic stroke, which damaged the motor and speech centers. Immediately after the stroke, Meghna utilized the Qi field and Qigong therapy to strengthen and rebuild his energy, focusing on putting good information into the field. Key to the stroke recovery was nurturing his fragmented consciousness and life force energy, alongside maintaining a rigorous positive mindset aimed at a completely healthy body. Remarkable results included the healing of all cerebral arteries and significant recovery from kidney damage (from 40% to 62%). Furthermore, the friend learned to sink his blood pressure 30 points using only his mind and breath, and a physiotherapist noted the successful removal of his right-side spasticity, a feat she described as "not medically possible" based on conventional medical frameworks.The conversation emphasized that blocked life force energy (Qi) is often the root cause of disease, frequently tied to unresolved emotions. Meghna shares how her Qigong practice has helped patients heal — one man’s eye cyst ,linked to liver and anger, reduced after forgiveness work, while a woman’s spinal arthritis, IBS, and anxiety disappeared after a single session focused on strengthening her center.Meghna proved that addressing the blockage in Qi flow was more critical than focusing solely on Western Medicine solutions. This healing process relies on connecting to the True self, the unpolluted part of us that connects purely to the Qi field.Mindful Moments: Qigong and Hunyuan Qi therapy enable natural healing, even when Western medicine deems it impossible.Daily Qigong calms anxiety and strengthens energy after trauma like a stroke.Zhineng Qigong develops consciousness, gathers Qi, and enhances mindfulness.Qigong guides Qi flow so the body functions in harmony for healing.A stroke patient’s kidney function improved from 40% to 62% through Qigong.Qigong helped remove post-stroke spasticity once thought irreversible.Using “where the mind goes, Qi flows,” patients lower blood pressure by focusing on feet and breath.The Qigong Crane’s Neck exercise relieved spinal arthritis, IBS, and anxiety by unblocking Qi.Qigong fosters curiosity—ask the Qi field, “How can I deepen my practice?”Qigong requires deep mindfulness to sense Qi movement and openness for the Qi field to reveal itself.🌐 Episode page: https://www.zhineng-qigong-students-hub.com/meghnapatel1/Links and Resources:📧Email: [email protected]🌐 Website: http://www.tieferuhe.carrd.co/📷 Meghna's Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/tieferuhe/?hl=enAbout Sufi Master Idries Shah: 🎮 Discover Qigong Game: https://www.zhineng-qigong-students-hub.com/discover-qigong/🎁 Discover the power of Qigong with this easy-to-follow Starter Kit: https://qigong-starter-kit.com/ 🎙️🌟Explore more podcasts, events, and resources visit:https://www.zhineng-qigong-students-hub.com/Connect on Facebook, Instagram, Youtube
