Dr. Li Interviews Master Mingtong: Qigong Teacher and Healer (Wisdom Healing Qigong)

Whether you're healthy, unhealthy, whether you're diagnosed with a disease or not, whatever challenge you're facing, it's always a result of your whole past. And the past has happened already. You cannot change it.

But the good news is whatever you have experienced, whatever you are experiencing now from the external interactions of life, it's all happening inside of your body, inside of your energy system. You have access to your own energy more than anyone else, more than your doctor, more than your therapist, more than your spouse. This is your own body. This is your own energy system. If you cannot take care of it, if you cannot master your energy, who else can?

This podcast is a unique immersive learning experience with Master Mingtong Gu, an international teacher of Wisdom Healing Qigong, author, and healer, as he shares his own journey through trauma, and guides us in practices for personal and global wellbeing. 

During dynamic times like these, daily practices can build resilience and calm. Qigong (“chi” means life energy, “gong” means cultivation) is an embodied consciousness practice developed in China over 5,000 years, more recently revitalized through quantum science and holistic medicine. Through integrated movement, visualization, and sound, Wisdom Healing Qigong can awaken energy, creativity, and consciousness to release and transform stress—including chronic stress that contributes to illness or injury.

Master Mingtong was named Qigong Master of the Year by the 13th World Congress for Qigong and Traditional Chinese Medicine. Trained by Grandmaster Pang Ming at the famous “Medicineless Hospital” in China and educated in the US, Master Mingtong has a gift for translating the language and culture of ancient Eastern wisdom traditions to the mind-centric West. In addition to Zhineng Qigong, Tibetan Buddhism and Taoism also inform his teachings. He is on faculty at Esalen Institute, Spirit Rock Meditation Center, and is the founder of The Chi Center in Santa Fe, NM, where he lives with his wife, Linling, also a gifted healer, and their two children. 

The two hosts, Kozo Hattori and Cynthia Li, have experienced this master teacher and the power of the collective qi field. Their respective personal healing journeys have defied scientific explanation.
