Abstracts
Part 1: Describes two case studies to illustrate the healing
power of The Chow System which includes qigong.
Part 2: is a quantitative study of the effects of certain qigong
maneuvers related to healing on the body energy of eight subjects. Changes
in body energy were inferred from an arm muscle test that was made after
each of a given sequence of six qigong maneuvers given to each of the subjects.
Measurements were made of the time dependence of the force required to lower
the subject's arms and of the arm height. The qigong maneuver was a nonverbal
process initiated by qigong master Dr. Chow whose intention was to weaken
(disperse) or strengthen (tonify) the body energy of the subject. Related
qigong maneuvers are used in healing to balance the body energy. The time
duration of the resistance to the downward force was used as a parameter
to characterize the body energy. The results show that the subjects' resistance
to the downward force was decreased by a energy dispersing maneuver and
restored by an energy tonifying maneuver. Statistical analysis of the group
of subjects shows that the means of the time duration for the dispersed
and tonified states were significant (P < 0.0001). These findings have
consequence in diverse fields, such as, chiropractic, psychoneuroimmunology,
bioenergetics, acupuncture, Chinese medicine, and health care.J. American
College of Traditional Chinese Medicine, vol. 7, no. 3, 13-19 (1989).
- GUIDELINES FOR SELECTING QIGONG HEALERS
IN SCIENTIFIC RESEARCH OF QIGONG
In the view of the fact that there is no recognized certificate or licensing
system for Qigong healers or Qigong masters in the U.S., nor in China, the
Qigong Institute has developed the following guidelines to help research
scientists who are interested in Qigong research to select the appropriate
Qigong healers or masters in their scientific exploration of Qigong.
In general, a good Qigong healer or master should meet at least three of
the following seven criteria:
1. A specially invited member or director of the Chinese Society of Qigong
Science (about 1000+ of such members existing in China who have been officially
evaluated by the Society).
2. A recorded history of scientific research (with published paper(s) or
certified report(s)).
3. A member of the national or international professional Qigong organization(s).
4. A formal disciple of the traceable and renowned Qigong master or Qigong
tradition, such as lineage holder or representative of a special form.
5. A solid medical training or background, and preferably belonging to some
kind of national organization of medical practitioners.
6. Does not currently have any verifiable negative claim against him/her
in the field.
7. Have an established Qigong healing practice in this country (Some may
be visitors with similar qualifications in their home country).
