The Challenge in Learning Qigong
After years of teaching, Mingtong realized that the biggest obstacle to learning Qigong is staying on track with a regular practice. Students would come to class weekly and promise to practice on their own, but would understandably get caught up in their busy lives and their Qigong practice would be pushed aside. They enjoyed the weekly classes, but couldn't find the time to practice on their own.
How Qigong is Best Learned
Qigong is best learned in small, easy to understand steps broken down into lessons and practice sessions. While an hour of Qigong class feels good and has undeniable benefits, it is easy to forget what is learned during that one hour session. That's where our online courses come in.
Why our Online Courses are Superior
Our online courses give you short, easy to follow lessons that can be practiced immediately. When you have five minutes to watch a video and do some practice, that small lesson will sink in and be committed to memory. Repeating it that day or on consecutive days will result in an increased memory of the teaching.
However, there's no limit to how much you can learn in one session. It's up to you. Watch and practice multiple chapters in one session, practice for a half hour or longer. Our online classes can be used in whatever way best fits your schedule.
The teachings are broken into segments to help you fit Qigong practice into your day, every day. Without daily practice, the depth of the teachings can be elusive. With daily practice, the layers of benefits are clear.
How to Maximize Your Learning
It's more beneficial to know one movement well than to know a hundred movements partially. Focus on each movement like it's the only one. In ancient China, students would practice a single movement for years.
Don't feel like you need to get through all the chapters in a course as quickly as possible. Take your time. Watch the same class every day for a week. Or two weeks. Really commit each class to memory, and practice it sincerely.

How does new technology connect with wisdom of mind body connection?
More than 5,000 years ago in ancient China, Qigong Masters discovered the connection of the mind, body and spirit with heaven and earth and with the infinite and finite energy. Through this connection they were capable of exchanging and revitalizing the natural energy found within everything. Often taught in seclusion, Qigong Masters would pass these teachings to few disciples that may have walked great distances with their lives in peril.
While developing practices that connected mind, body, spirit and the energy field, the ancient Masters also discovered that all energy is accessible across time and space.

How does new technology connect with wisdom of mind body connection?
More than 5,000 years ago in ancient China, Qigong Masters discovered the connection of the mind, body and spirit with heaven and earth and with the infinite and finite energy. Through this connection they were capable of exchanging and revitalizing the natural energy found within everything. Often taught in seclusion, Qigong Masters would pass these teachings to few disciples that may have walked great distances with their lives in peril.
While developing practices that connected mind, body, spirit and the energy field, the ancient Masters also discovered that all energy is accessible across time and space. That is, when in a collective energy field such as that in Qigong, the minds and energy of those participating are present, even if the body is elsewhere. The same principles of the universal energy field, mind and matter exist today, thus in our technological world, regardless of one’s proximity to a Qigong Master, participants can learn this ancient wisdom as online classes make it possible for Qigong Masters to instruct groups of tens, hundreds, even thousands. One such master is internationally recognized Qigong Master is Mingtong Gu who teaches Wisdom Healing Qigong.
By participating in Wisdom Healing Qigong’s online classes, we can consciously connect with thousands of others in the energy field. Unlike a bank account, where the more that is taken out the less there is, in the energy field, the more people that participate, activate and draw energy from the energy field, the more energy there is for everyone. When participating in an online Qigong class the most important aspect is activated: the connection of mind to body to spirit and to the energy field. Through relaxation and visualization, we allow our minds to participate with the process of life within our bodies, thus we start to perceive the subtle energy body. With this direct experience, the mind can activate (i.e., access, organize and unify) the subtle energy field to amplify and realize the common purpose of living consciously with the true nature of ourselves and the human collective as well as all living things.

Wisdom Healing Qigong, as taught by Master Mingtong Gu, is a natural bridge from the ancient contemplative wisdom teachings to our contemporary, technologically enhanced life. Unlike the disciples of long ago, today from the comfort of our homes, we can learn how to connect the outer with the inner energy field for optimal wellness and fulfillment of our spirituality.
How is the Internet changing where we look for Spirituality and Health?
In ancient times the mind-body practice of Qigong was often learned by traveling long distances to a remote village where the master lived. Their health and spirituality depended on these pilgrimages. Today, learning might be done by driving to a local class or event, but with increasing frequency the best class might be found online. To fit our busy, mobile lives, online learning can bring great tools, insights and practices for healthier, happier, deeply wise spiritual living. Internet technology has finally advanced to the level where it meets the best practice in video and audio quality necessary and vital for the spiritual learning environment. And it can be affordable and enjoyed by most computer platforms with limited computer technology experience. As news is reaching the global consciousness community that the Internet is ready for more than the Shopping Network, people in rural to urban locales are searching out the online spiritual learning connections that fit their interests.
The Chi Center founded by Qigong Master Mingtong Gu near San Francisco, has launched a new online series, Pure Qi with Master Gu. Each course is live with a full class of students learning Qigong in the room that is simultaneously livestreamed over the Internet to a seamless global audience. An energetic teacher and healer, Mingtong has refined how to bring this wisdom and qi/chi energy to the students in the room and globally. The Pure Qi Series: Seasons Curriculum consists of five courses during 2012, bringing the teachings and practice to thrive in each season.
For someone simply curious about what Qigong is, or for the seasoned student, Master Gu provides the teachings, demonstrations and practice in these classes. People of all ages, abilities, health conditions, living in urban or remote areas, only need a computer to learn.
Knowing that lives are busy, every class is archived to watch a missed class or to follow for practice times. Dinner can be cooking in the oven, while the chef is taking care of their mind-body-heart health in front of the computer. When Qigong class is done, the table can be set, dinner guests enjoyed and the nutrients digested by a healthier, happier person. All time valued, no time wasted.
