Dr. Li Interviews Master Wei: Qigong Master and Energy Healer Guides Mind-Body Practice

Q: I can often feel very peaceful during meditation and practice. But then my life is complicated and feels like a mess. My meditation is an escape, but I don't know how to transform my life. Do you have any words of wisdom? 

Teacher Wei: When you practice meditation, ah, you feel very peaceful. Then you need to try to bring this peaceful state into daily life. Daily life is also practice. Not only feeling peaceful during meditation, with your daily life separate from meditation. So in your daily life, when you talk with others, you also need to feel the peaceful state. If you want to achieve this state in daily life, try to practice the awakening consciousness  — this is master. Consciousness is your master. When you can manage your consciousness consciously, then it’s possible you can keep inner peace in your daily life all the time.

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.

In this special vernal equinox podcast, Cynthia Li, MD engages in conversation and experiential workshop with Master Wei, whom she has studied with for several years. Master Wei is an esteemed teacher of qigong, an embodied consciousness practice developed in China over the past 5,000 years, and the foundation of martial arts, tai chi, and Traditional Chinese Medicine. Based in China, Master Wei has become a pioneer in bringing Zhineng Qigong to the West, with students across Europe, Australia and New Zealand, South America, and America. 

The lineage of Zhineng Qigong (zhi means wisdom, neng means capability) aims to describe the laws of the universe and human life, informed by Confucianism, Daoism, Buddhism, medical qigong, martial arts, folk qigong, contemporary science, medicine, and philosophy. At its core is a sense of universal oneness. Teacher Wei has been highlighting the development of the pure consciousness state as his foundational teaching, with the qigong movements guided from this expanded mindset to amplify healing and awakening. This highest level of practice, he says, from a collective field where practitioners connect heart to heart in a state of pure consciousness, has the greatest potential for deep transformation, personal and global.

He is the founder of the World Consciousness Community, and has helped spread the wisdom and compassion of qigong internationally.
