Healing Stories from Wisdom Healing Qigong Students
Qigong promotes wellness and fulfillment
“Qigong Master Mingtong Gu is a gift to the West. He is the very embodiment of walking the mystical path with practical feet. He and his Wisdom Healing Qigong teachings offer a unique understanding of this healing technology that heals and empowers you in the process. It has been an extraordinary experience to witness my health improve, my stress levels plummet and my connection to the divine magnify by this practice and Mingtong’s teachings. Equally remarkable, is that he manages to present this in a setting of joyousness. His workshops and retreats are a blessing.” Mary Frank, Green Media Director
I released weight and depression and increased joy
“When I began my Qigong practice, I was 100 lbs overweight, frequently depressed and had little energy. I was told that my body was highly toxic, candida had spread through all my organs and had coagulated forming tumors throughout my body. My hormones were out of balance, adrenals burnt out, thyroid and neurotransmitters barely functioning. I had eye surgery on my left eye for macular degeneration and was told my vision would never be improved in that eye. My hair was thinning and falling out. Then I was led to Master Mingtong Gu, Linling and the practice of Wisdom Healing Qigong. What a blessing that was! Within one year, I released 80 lbs, cleared the candida and tumors from my body, and balanced my hormones, adrenals, thyroid and neurotransmitters. I now experience high levels of consistent energy and great joy- goodbye depression! The Sound Healing practice in Qigong helped me to bring my emotional body into greater harmony and release trauma from the past. I am now able to connect and receive directly from the Source creating great fulfillment. This has healed my need to compulsively overeat. My left eye is healing and improving- I can now see color, shapes and movement. In addition, my hair is growing again. Qigong does indeed reverse the aging process! My friends say I look and act 10 years younger!” Coleene Frances, Executive & Life Coach/Facilitator
I enjoyed my husband’s appraisal “you are 20 years younger” after my first Qigong retreat
"Before I did Qigong with Master Mingtong Gu, my body was swollen from my face to my knees with lymphedema, complications from multiple cancer surgeries. My right knee was so swollen that I was in pain and limping. I couldn’t climb stairs or hills, and I wore an “icy hot” pain patch continually on my knee. My energy was low and my spirit, for the first time in 70 years, felt as stuck as my lymph glands. ?One month after I began Qigong I went to my Osteopath for an exam and treatment. He was astounded at the change in my body. The lymphedema was almost gone, my energy was high, my body toned, and he noted how calm and happy I was. 'Your body is fluid' he exclaimed! 'If all my patients did what you did I would be out of business.’ My husband, son, and many of my friends are so inspired by my transformation that they too are studying with Mingtong, and they also have regular Qigong practices with improved vitality, health and happiness. My diagnosis has gone from a cancer patient with months to live to being cancer free, and having my mind, body and entire life revitalized.”
Gina Thompson, Retired Executive Director
Qigong helped me return to life
"My healing journey started when I was forced to stop my heart work of running a non-profit. My health had collapsed, and it became clear that I needed serious medical help. I was diagnosed with chronic Lyme disease, CFIDS (chronic fatigue and immune dysfunction syndrome), multiple chemical sensitivities, chronic migraines, and heavy metal toxicity. I spent most days largely in bed for several years. I was so chemically sensitive that I could not be around any scented products, including soap, shampoo, etc. I was getting 4-5 migraines each week, and fainted intermittently. My whole body erupted in red rashes, with no apparent cause. I felt fragile. I tried many treatments, with excellent practitioners. Each one helped, but eventually I would get to a certain level of healing and plateau, and I remained sick with chronic illness. Then I met Mingtong and his particular type of Qigong. During my first weekend with Mingtong I noticed a remarkable shift in my energy. A migraine that I’d had at the beginning of the workshop went away on the firs t day. Encouraged, I signed up for a Medical Healing Intensive with Mingtong the following week. During the intensive approximately 40% of my multiple chemical sensitivities dropped away. For the first time in 5 years I was able to eat in restaurants and walk into drugstores (which tend to be highly scented). By the end of the intensive I had more energy than I’d had in years, and could enjoy the company of friends again. I could go back to doing normal activities (driving, cooking, shopping, etc.) we take for granted in daily life. I cut my weekly medical appointments in half for receiving intravenous medications. Over the next few months I stopped them altogether. For me, Qigong is a doorway I can keep walking through, any time, any place in order to connect with what is truest and deepest about life. I can now help others again, which is my deepest joy." Diana L., MA, CMT
Qigong changed me at the cellular level
“About a year and half ago, I stared to take Qigong classes. I had lung cancer and I was being treated by western medicine. That treatment pretty much destroys a lot of your body, going after the cancer it wipes out any cell that looks like a cancer cell, which is most of your body. I was trying to heal from chemo and radiation and not getting a good result. So I signed up for the 10 day Qigong healing intensive. When I started the intensive I had been only consuming broth soup for the previous four months as that was all that I could tolerate. It was just enough to survive but not enough to rebuild the body. The first day of the intensive was a positive experience and I had renewed hope that I was going to recover and heal from the cell damage. I’ve had constant improvement since then. The lung cancer is gone and the cells are healing. I am getting stronger and have more endurance each day. An example of the cellular change is evidenced by my dental health. I had some damage to my gums from the chemo that gave me 6mm measurements in the pockets in my gums before I did the intensive. After doing the Qigong they measured 2mm this is a significant improvement in only two weeks. I now practice Qigong daily and feel improvement at the physical as well as mental and spiritual levels.” Mark Friendship
My life is more joy filled and awake than ever
“In the mid 1980’s I started getting various constant infections then crushing fatigue. As years passed I developed multiple chemical and environmental sensitivities and insomnia. My life was shrinking because I had to rest much of each day. By year 2000, my inability to earn much money, my inability to see friends and family all became constant stress for me. Then in 2008 I got worse. I developed inflammation in all of my joints and back. I was in pain. I felt bad for how hard this was on my dear husband. Life was looking bleak and scary.
Then I found Qigong and Mingtong. By the end of the first weekend, 95% of the inflammation and pain was gone. A few months later I was fortunate to be able to attend an intensive Qigong healing retreat. I am not exaggerating that when I say that since then I feel I’ve got my life back. The difference is that it’s a more joy filled and awake life than ever. One of Mingtong’s many gifts as a teacher is his ability to help students know and trust that chi can heal anything. Now, I also know that the chi can heal anything. My days and evenings are filled with fulfilling work and fun with friends and family. I still rest in the afternoon (not as long). The difference is now I feel great. I literally wake up singing.” I went to Qigong to heal from chronic illness. Now grateful and much to my surprise, I am offering it to others who are ill. I also now teach Qigong to meditation students because it is such a powerful support for inner opening and clarity. I teach it at couple's retreats because it awakens consciousness and develops presence and therefore genuine intimacy.

A woman from Africa finds healing
“I came to US to study but unfortunately I hit some obstacles. One of them was cancer. When I was diagnosed with breast cancer in 2007, I told myself I am going to beat this. I went through all the treatments and the cancer went away for a few months. When it came back, I didn’t know what to do because I thought I had beaten it. It was not true. I started being very, very sick. I told my doctor I can barely breath. They looked into my lungs and they drained 2 liters of fluid. They took the fluid to the labs and it came back I had lung cancer. They did further tests. The tests came back saying I have liver cancer, lung cancer, and breast cancer. I felt this is the end of my life. My doctors told me you are going to live for about 3 months. I didn’t have hope. Then a friend told me about Qigong and paid for me to go to the Qigong medical retreat. When we started the workshop my lungs were so tight, I have lung cancer so what else can I expect. Within two days my lungs were open. I did not feel any pain or anything. I kept doing Qigong even after I left the retreat. Recently I had CT scan and found out 9 tumors in my breast and liver are gone and only little patches of lung cancer remain! The doctors were shocked and wanted to keep me in the hospital to study my case. I said to them I want to go home to practice my Qigong!"

A Surprise Gift from the Healing Webinar
“I got an infectious skin condition. I've been enjoying the wonderful chi field you have been organizing and joining the practice each evening. Delicious! After last night's practice, during the visualization that came easily to me was that all of me was transparent, no matter where I looked (at all my organs and systems). I woke up today and the skin condition was dramatically different. My intuition is that last night's practice led to that change." —Diana L, CA
The Miracle of Qi Gong
“At the grand age of 60, I seem to have discovered the medicine of the future! “Discovered” might be a bit misleading since it’s been around for 5000 years. I’m actually a late comer! I’ve been struggling with chronic fatigue and Lymes disease for about 20 years. The last couple of years were particularly challenging: itchy rash all over me, really bad bouts with bronchitis, fatigue. Some days I couldn’t get out of bed. My health seemed to be going downhill and frankly, I thought my life was pretty much over. Then I was introduced to Wisdom Healing Qigong.
Two friends of mine, both who had suffered from chronic fatigue for years, miraculously changed before my eyes. They claimed it was the form of qigong they were doing. In a nutshell, I began doing the same qigong and I began transforming too, on all levels of my being – physical, emotional, mental and spiritual. Physically, I have tons more energy – and I mean tons! I don’t have fatigue and the pain anymore. I used to catch every bug going around. Recently, I noticed a tickle in my throat. I blew my nose a few times for the next two days, and that was it. I barely noticed it. Emotionally, I feel much more balanced, less reactive and so much happier. I’ve always tried to be a positive person – now it’s virtually effortless. Mentally, I am learning I always have a choice in how I think about things. And I’m learning how I think about things is a strong indicator of how they will turn out. It takes a bit of training but being able to create a healthier, more abundant, loving, peaceful life seems totally worth the effort. And spiritually it’s as if all the practices I have done throughout my life were leading me to this. This is the quickest way I’ve found to get to experience the Source, the Oneness energy that is behind and in all creation. I see this form of qigong is an incredibly intelligent technology that takes you Home.” —Vivienne Verdon-Roe, CA
Chett’s Miraculous Recovery from Brain Dead
“Chett's family in Pennsylvania, his ancestors and future generations bow down with gratitude for the miracle of healing which the light of Qigong has given in body, mind and spirit. Chett suffered a brain stem injury on August, 30th 2009 where he was declared brain dead. Much gratitude for the visualization cards which family and friends used to see Chett as perfect and fully healed in spite of the ever changing medical conditions.
Chett, is now living with family at the Family farm walking, talking, with full and complete memory. He is in physical therapy working to regain strength lost while in the coma. The Neurosurgeon and hospital where Chett recovered have filmed parts of his recovery to be used as a study and example for other doctors and medical professionals.”

My Body is Soft and Open from Feeling Concrete
“Starting point is thyroid, adrenal, over weight and autoimmune. I am very pleased to have noticed a great movement and opening in these areas. Thyroid and gland were constricted like concrete in throat area. Left side of throat and body feels completely open now and right side 80% is open. The areas of cellular memories being held in old trauma were able to expand and integrate back into wholeness.”
—Linda Johns, Healer, CA
And Experience of Chi-Oneness
Connection with unconditional happiness and health - now I can remember to go there. Most profound connection. I am ‘amazed’ at the revelation – the experience of Chi-Oneness way beyond concept or ‘spiritual experience’ – its wholeness and invitation to fully live and transform. Wow!” —Roxanne Livington
A Profound Awakening
“I just completed my first qigong retreat. This last year was a dark year for me. Had physical circumstances. Physical pain brought me here. Those have remarkably dissipated to a large degree. The healing I’m receiving continuously on a much deeper layer than symptoms. Awakening to new purpose in life. Profound awakening. My chronic headaches, impaired my ability to think, have pretty much been lifted.
I’m living with hope now. Hope of a new life. I’m starting a new life today. Before I came I hoped I could be healed. And during the retreat I came to believe I could be healed or could heal myself. This morning I knew I could be healed…a body knowing.
I feel Qigong is applied Buddhism or applied spirituality. An amazing collection of life tools. It allows me to connect with the 96% that is unknowable, immeasurably and invaluable. And let it guide the evolution of my soul.” —Bill Ernst, Hawaii
Now I am in Full Embodiment, Completely Pain Free
“I’m so happy to have been a part of this. I don’t even know where to begin because my life is so completely changed. I literally didn’t have a life force energy that was being used for myself or for living the world. My own life was so diminished. I have spent most of my life in pain and most of my life out of my body. Now I am in full embodiment, completely pain free. No headaches since this retreat. When I have a twinge I go to inner smile, place inside myself and offer it with total love and be transformed. My earliest memory of the first migraine headache was 5 years old. I spent most of my life in extraordinary pain. Had hysterectomy. Didn’t change anything. Everything just got worse. I was hopeless. I was really at that place of complete hopelessness. Was on and off of medications. Stomach completely ripped up trying to take the pain away. No one took the pain away except the merger into the love that I always was. I don’t think of past or regrets, I feel the gift of this remarkable life. Have mantra of Dalai Lama: never give up. I really found that through the practice of qigong. LCUPCD and spinal bone marrow twist. Love starting my day with that practice, love ending my day with that practice. Coming into that still point in my self. My only regret is that I didn’t find this path sooner.” —Diana Dubrow, Healer

I’m Fulfilled and Overflowing with Gratitude
“I was diagnosed with stage 4 breast cancer metastasized to lungs bones, shut down, critical, hopeless. Emotionally drained physically drained, hopeless about my relationships with my teenage children. Now in touch with my own energy field and all our energy fields and things have radically shifted. I was thinking about my last 35 years of studying consciousness. I have found a map that is real to me that I can surrender to.
At first I was scared and hesitant because I had so much cancer in my bones. I couldn’t hold my arms up so I did a lot of visualization. And by today when I do LCUPCD I’m doing it the whole time. I feel physical strength coming back, aliveness and appetite coming back, sense of humor coming back. We have been given a huge gift of a cruise with our family. Instead of hospice, I chose a cruise. I signed off hospice, not signing on. Instead doing qigong and the cruise in the Caribbean in the warm water of the chi field! Qigong is mental, emotional, spiritual, physical, community. It’s opening up to spaciousness and the source of all life. And it’s a map. I really get it. I’m so fulfilled and overflowing with gratitude.” —Nancy Hutchins
I can Use Everything I have Received in Service
“The most stunning experience for me has been really feeling no separation. No separation between my energetic self and the chi that is coming in, almost as if the boundaries are permeable. I’ve experienced this before in music and when playing music. But previously I’ve felt this sensation of energy pouring though me was going to burn me or I couldn’t contain it or it would exhaust me. What I’ve experience is knowing this particular container, this body that is giving and receiving energy is enough to hold energy that comes in and give energy that goes out. I’ve never really believed that. I’ve yearned for that. Now I can use everything that goes through me and everything I have received in service. It’s really a revelation for me and it’s hard to say in words what is this mystery.
During the workshop I had one night after going to sleep with Mingtong’s message as I was sleeping, I really experienced the soul body baby universe of my son who came, who’s come other times. This time I felt whatever this energy of soul that leaves the body when we speak of death, I felt that soul essence energy was everyone: all the children who had died too soon, all the parents who had left their children, all those we love who we feel have gone because they’re not breathing. I’ve had intimations of this knowing before, but I think the fit for me in this workshop is YES I know this is true. I know this as an embodied knowing, not just as a hope. And I am so grateful to have the strength of the teaching and the incredible energy of each person. There is no separation. No me, no you. When we were with Mingtong in the evening with the film I remember at bottom of one of the pages: there’s a field out there, out beyond right doing and wrong doing I’ll meet you there. When the soul lies down in that grass there’s no I, no you, no other. I feel I’m lying down in that field for all of you. So grateful for this wisdom teaching.” —Edie Hartshorne, Musician and Healer
This Practice Releases Conditioning in the Organs
“The qigong opened me to a notion of treasures. The different practice made me in touch with my organs and years of other practice had opened me to the universe. But this practice made me see my organs as portals to my being. To being. This practice releases conditioning in the organs. For example when we work with the liver I see the victim consciousness in the feminine line in my family. When we work on the heart I see the wound is choking the heart, and the chi energy opening to infinite possibilities. Feel I am only seeing the tip of the iceberg. It is a door. The Milky Way is about us, it is here in our bodies in our beings in our cells. We are the Milky Way. Extremely grateful to Mingtong and to Robin who introduced me to this path. Qigong is a spiritual path, embodied path through the body. It is a path where you see the body as a wonderful tool. In some spiritual practice the body is negative, in this practice the body is being, it is all integrated. Through the body we go to the universe. To the Milky Way.” —Denise Moulle, Healer
Love is Pouring into Me
“The experience is precious beyond words. I feel the retreat and the teachings are transformative. They have enabled me to connect to the source. To “eat the chi” and access profound well being – physical, emotional and spiritual. I have been infused with feelings of body bliss, loving kindness and inexpressible joy!
I taught a class last night. Students said ‘you’re two inches taller’. because I was standing in the chi. I feel much more healing power coming through me.
Beautiful energy of ocean of light, as it comes into me it becomes love through my heart and through the human condition. Every time I just open to that light I feel my body is bodiless and love is pouring into me. Not that it hasn’t been there, but so connected now. Eating the chi. Everywhere I go there’s chi to eat, but it’s also this exchange.
Realized this morning that I wasn’t aware I needed to be healed and become whole. When my mother died I cried to sleep night after night. There was no response, a void. No mother coming back. Spent a lot of my life transcending that, transforming that. The loss of my mother 65 years ago feels transformed into this flow of the big love. In the past I would wakeup at 4:00 am and it was all up to me to figure it out. What to do: financial things, how can I make it right, how can I find the lost mother if I go to this workshop or that. I still wake up at 4:00 but there’s this joy, this pure joy. Nothings changed, but the anxiety is gone.
My half brother called. I’m the only one of the family who will talk to him. I’ve been sending him money, talking to him several times a week. He is facing homelessness and dying. Two or three days ago I thought I’m going to hold him in the light. He’s brilliant, crazy, also tender soul. I got an email from him 3:00 am this morning (email below) with two days of my thinking I’ll hold him in the light. I think he’s actually going to make it though without this perpetual black hole. So my metaphysics has changed. Feel so grateful for infusion of sustainable joy. It’s all a whole now. Feel so blessed.
style="mso-bidi-font-style: normal;">When the first bolt of your ocean of love visualization hit me I associate it with jumping out of one state to another like discovering electricity. Where the stress pops you out into a deeper level, sometimes it feels like a kind of deep fulcrum. Amazingly I am not groaning and moaning in bed as I was just a couple of hours ago. Can you imagine what that means to me? My brother. Alias, rainbow!”
—Patricia Ellsberg, Meditation Teacher
Qigong and the Retreat Allowed Deep, Subtle Healing
“To tell this story, why do qigong. What has happened. To put that in the English language is actually very hard to do.
I think it begins when we come into this world and we begin to heal ourselves. We are wounded as we enter into this realm that we live in. And as we continue to live we continue to encounter wounds and they’re stored in our organs. This practice has activated fully and completely healed my wounds.
First I was introduced to qigong 10 years ago
with an elderly Chinese man in Chinatown. Thought it was strangest thing I’d ever encountered. Very quickly I opened up to what we call the chi field. I could begin to allow healing energy to come through me and see people and see where illness resided in people. And I didn’t know what to do with it. And I got sick. The Qigong teacher said it was a gift. I continued to go to temple and continued to get sicker. Eventually he told me to go home and use my daily life to find a way to heal. I turned to Western medicine. Western medicine doctors told me a “story.” I became everything I believed they thought I had. I allowed them to saw me apart and put me together.
The beauty of what happened since I saw Mingtong at Spirit Rock is that all that has been released to chi field. Took all those wounds and scars and allowed me to surrender without me knowing what I was doing. Gave me the love for allowing those things that had happened, traumas I had encountered, lineage I had encountered, allowed deep subtle healing for everyone. I went home to a family reunion days after the retreat. It was right there in front of me, I was so aware I could see it. One person had traumatic brain injury and was declared brain dead. We stood in that room in a small town in Pennsylvania. Where no one has heard of qigong. But I knew I had to speak my truth that we could declare and look at this young man, bath him in light, see him as the new born bay boy that he came into the room with and the drop story. There was no other way to see him. That was late August. That young man is home today, walking, talking, only deficit he has is a slight delay in his speech.
Where am I today after this retreat? I am fully healed.
What is qigong? The healing is as wide and as deep as we allow it to be. I have profound gratitude for Mingtong, doctor Pang, and everyone one on the retreat because it can’t be done alone.”
