Details
Come join Steve as he enlightens us about this fascinating and ancient form of energy healing.
Chi Kung is an offspring of prehistoric Chinese Shamanism which is known to be at least ten thousand years old but is probably much older than that. When civilization started in China four thousand years ago the shamans moved up into the mountains to, as they put it: "get far above the dust of civilization" and became hermits. Their practices came to be known as Chi Kung, Chi means life energy and Kung means knowledge or work.
About 1500 years ago a group of Taoists wandered into Northwestern China, near Mongolia, and ended up at the Tien Shan where they developed this Chi Kung. Tien Shan means Sky Mountain and also Cloud Mountain or Heaven Mountain. It is a practice for health, longevity, and spiritual growth for hermits. They wanted longevity in order to have more time for spiritual growth and being full of energy and youthful vitality in their old age was also considered helpful.
In China the more powerful Chi Kung systems were kept secret because they greatly benefited the holder. Greater creativity, endurance, intelligence, longevity, compassion, and psychic advantages represent a form of power which was carefully guarded.
