Qigong and Virtue
A Path to Harmonizing Body and Mind
By Buyin Zheng
The fact that Qigong always involves both body and mind represents one of the essential differences from Western forms of exercise. Buyin Zheng, who grew up with a traditional understanding of Qigong, explains how the Qi of the Earth and the Qi of Heaven can nourish the various aspects of human existence. Both forces affect not only the organs, for example, but also a person’s qualities, which are likewise assigned to the transformation phases.

The health-promoting effects of Qigong also include a strengthening and healing influence on the psyche. Based on the experiences of Qigong masters and results from empirical studies, Zheng Buyin and Carsten Meyer explain how Qigong can support mental balance.

Ways to Let Go and Dissolve Inner Blockages
Methods of Shaolin Neijin Yizhichan Qigong
By Zheng Buyin and Simone Fella
Letting go, apologizing, and forgiving are methods found in many spiritual traditions. In Neijin Yizhichan Qigong, they have a special place alongside movement exercises and meditation for strengthening health and attaining inner peace and happiness. Simone Fella and Zheng Buyin, who is making Neijin Yizhichan Qigong known in Europe, explain the respective focuses of the three areas. In silent meditation, one’s own life is examined step by step and freed from “old burdens.” By letting go of memories as well as expectations, apologizing for one’s own misconduct, and forgiving suffered injuries, inner blockages and thus causes of mental illnesses and physical tensions can be overcome and positive energies released.
