Your Healing Intensive Retreat Experience Will Include...

Gentle & Enlivening Movement And Embodiment Practices

We’ll start each day’s session with a short meditation (called setting the chi field), followed by teacher-led movement practices that relax your mind and body to generate more powerful healing and awakening effects.

Your Retreat days will include teachings, transmissions, sound healing technologies, and gentle movement practices, throughout.

Sound Healing To Open Your Heart & Emotional Energy Flow

You will practice and experience Sound Healing for the 5 organ systems. Sacred healing sounds work to release the stress we all feel — which is often primarily emotional stress locked in the cellular memory of our organs. By healing these emotional contractions of energy, you empower yourself to heal and awaken on every level of your life.

Sound Healing is a deeply empowering practice. Anybody can do it.

You don’t need to know how to play musical instrument, you don’t need a strong voice, and you don’t need any special healing skills. You simply join in making the healing sounds and experience the sounds and energy around you.

Meditation & Visualization Practices To Connect To Essence

Continuing the progress you’ve made in Sound Healing and Movement practices, Master Mingtong will introduce you to the beautiful experience of the practice of Lift Chi Up & Pour Chi Down, plus beginning Pure Consciousness practices.

This will be one of the special times both these practice forms are shared with the general public — the teachings were previously only available within the Zhineng Qigong Master training program in China.

Reflection & Integration Activities

We have a new schedule and flow filled with lots of our best activities!

Each day there will be a segment for integration time. This may include small group discussions, Medicine walks in Nature, guided Healing Sessions, and/or specific journaling assignments.

End-Of-The-Day Group Healing Sessions

One of the most popular features during our Healing Intensive Retreats are the Healing Sessions, led by Master Mingtong Gu, just before bedtime. Retreat attendees are invited to get comfortable, lying down with mats, pillows, and blankets in a dimly lit room. They are invited into a state of deep relaxed awareness in order to move energy in the room (and beyond!) through a collaborative process within the local and non-local chi field.

During the healing session, Master Mingtong activates the Wisdom Healing Qigong energetic flow through a combination of English, Chinese, Tibetan, and Sanskrit. The participants also engage in their own process of mindful intention — to help absorb, assimilate, and activate healing and transformation on a cellular level.

The healing energy transmission that flows through Master Mingtong and the chi field is connected to the energy that makes up your intention. That connection activates deep openings of energetic blockages and stimulates the awakening of aliveness in the body. This is the essence of inner medicine and the Healing Session.

Nature Calls You Home

In the heart of the desert, where the sky stretches wide with an embrace as open as the universe itself, lies The Chi Center—a sanctuary where the soul whispers to the vastness, and the vastness whispers back. Here, amidst the ancient wisdom of 500-year-old trees standing tall like guardians of time, the running waters sing melodies of renewal and resilience. The landscape, a living mandala, breathes life into every step you take towards coming home to yourself, weaving a tapestry of connection between body, soul, and community. And at the heart of it all, the Lotus Kiva beckons—a sacred space where the earth cradles your deepest transformations, inviting you to dive into the essence of your being. As you stand upon this enchanted land, let the open skies and the eternal dance of stars above remind you of the infinite possibilities within. You are not just arriving at a place, but returning to a state of being, where every breath is a step closer to the essence of who you are. Welcome home, to yourself, to a sanctuary where every moment is an invitation to awaken, to flourish, and to be embraced by the five magics of this enchanted land.

Experience All 4 Foundational Wisdom Healing Qigong Practice Methods

Experience on a physical level gentle movements which can help you develop core strength, muscular and spinal flexibility — improving both posture and endurance.

Discover on an energetic level how the movements enhance energy flow throughout the spine, brain and entire body — awakening vitality, creativity and alertness. You will find, that as you begin your own daily practice, your ability and Chi capacity increase gradually and steadily.

How can the The Awaken Vitality Method revitalize your health? Through these mindful Qigong movements and meditations, you can begin to discover your true potential for vitality no matter your age, life challenges or health condition. The Awaken Vitality practices are easy to learn, a joy to practice, and once learned, available for a lifetime. On a physical level, these gentle movements develop core strength, muscular and spinal flexibility, improving both posture and endurance. On an energetic level, they enhance energy flow throughout the spine, brain and entire body, awakening vitality, creativity and alertness. Master Gu guides you through each movement, visualization, sound and meditation; as you begin your own daily practice, your ability and chi capacity increase gradually and steadily.

Invigorate Your Energetic Wholeness

Discover the Awaken Vitality Method (formerly known as Preliminary Practices) and cultivate a personal Qigong practice to increase vitality, reduce stress, heal disease and optimize your overall physical, mental and emotional well being. You will learn six Qigong forms plus the healing practice of Lachi and be able to put them all together for a 30-minute practice sequence. This course provides the essentials for opening the physical body, which is foundational for all Wisdom Healing (Zhineng) Qigong practices.

Experience a deep connection with life, inside and around you. Learn to connect with the abundant energy flow of the universe and deeply absorb that energy and wisdom. Through intentional and meditative energy movements, you’ll activate inner and outer energy flow, and experience this powerful healing technology for your awakening and healing.

Cultivate More Energy For Your Life

Embrace one of Wisdom Healing Qigong’s foundational practices, The Lift Chi Up, Pour Chi Down Method, and discover for yourself its powerful healing technology. Learn to connect with the abundant energy flow of the universe and absorb that energy deep within you. Cultivate your awareness as you activate this vital energetic exchange. Create internal and external harmony, balance and renewal.

Integrate with the Living Universe

Flow with energy! Focus on the energetic flow both within the body and between your internal and external universes. Learn to use your mind to connect with energy and expand your visualizations. By incorporating Qigong teachings (like the Three A’s on Acceptance, Activation and Appreciation) with LCUPCD practice, we augment our understanding of both.

Develop Your Infinite Potential

Develop the initiative power of your mind! Learn to use your mind to direct energy within the Lift Chi Up, Pour Chi Down (LCUPCD) practice, opening to the infinite potential available in every cell and every movement. Explore advanced topics such as Integrative Oneness Theory, internal and external integration, accessing Hun Yuan Chi through LCUPCD, cultivation of Healing Mind, and advanced Shenji opening practices.

You will learn to:

  • Enter the state of G.R.A.C.E. Grounded, Relaxed, Aware, Centered, and Energized
  • Open your perception beyond the bodily mechanics and receive a fresh flow of chi within your mind, emotions, and spiritual awareness
  • Connect with a wider spectrum of internal and external energies including physical energy, subtle energy, and the “Qigong secret” of accessing our primordial connection to unconditional Source energy
  • Become one with Universal Consciousness by awakening your energy body for spiritual realization, paranormal ability development, and expanded awareness
  • Connect with the energy of your heart center and surround yourself in a pyramid of golden light or chi
  • Nourish your entire body by gathering chi from the horizon of infinite energy and directing it throughout your energy body
  • Gather the heavenly energy into your energetic brain, making it available to you for your personal transformation and healing.

Through Sound Healing Technologies you’ll experience the profound power of vibrational sounds using your own voice to transform and heal. You’ll activate the energetic power within your 5 organ systems and shift challenging emotions into positive states of being.

You will learn to..

  • release grief, heart-ache, emotional distress, or trauma that can be the source of disease, depression, and pain. Emotions are stored — and often locked in the organs. By unblocking the organ’s energy, through specific sound and vibrations, challenging emotions can shift into positive states of harmony and oneness – joy and love.
  • practice Five Organ Integrative Sound Healing — with three sounds for each system addressing the cellular dimensions, the emotional energies, and the mental/spiritual aspects within each organ system.
  • open the contraction pattern of the heart to discover greater happiness, joy, love, connection, and peace
  • embrace emotions as powerful energy and transform from fear to empowerment, worry to confidence, anger to courage and sadness to compassion.

Pure Consciousness is the name we give to deep states of consciousness that are beyond definition, beyond conceptualization, beyond thought. It is not possible to fully understand or to accurately describe it using only words, because Pure Consciousness is the direct experience of the essence of who you are.

In a state of Pure Consciousness, we become self-aware… yet at the same time, we venture beyond our own awareness to see things as they truly are, without placing any concept or judgement between ourselves and the essence of existence.

“We cultivate our own life energy through accessing nature’s great store of life energy [called qi or chi]. This approach produces quick results. But cultivating one’s qi/chi is not the most fundamental; cultivating one’s spirit is.

Mastery of qi/chi is really achieved through mastery of consciousness. We use consciousness in a careful, craftsman-like way, to shape our life, to attain our goals…

In modern terms, Qigong is just the refinement of consciousness to enhance the state of energy in the body. This leads to vibrant health, a harmonious body and mind, and awakened spiritual life.” — Dr. Ming Pang, creator of Zhineng (Wisdom Healing) Qigong

At The Chi Center, we teach Pure Consciousness as part of the integrative mind-body practice of Wisdom Healing Qigong, which is a complete system for awakening and cultivating the chi and the consciousness to transform, perfect and improve your holistic potential. Through Wisdom Healing Qigong, you’re empowered to look within yourself and to listen within yourself, uplifting your consciousness from a condition of automatic reaction to one of autonomous wisdom.

We use the term “Pure Consciousness” for easy understanding in Western culture. But Pure Consciousness is known by a multitude of different names:

  • Essence in several lineages of traditional wisdom
  • Transcendence in many meditation systems
  • Rigpa in Tibetan Buddhism
  • Yi Yuan Ti by Dr. Pang, founder of Zhineng (Wisdom Healing) Qigong
  • Mingjue by some Chinese Wisdom Healing Qigong teachers

You may wonder why “mindfulness” is not included on the list above. Mindfulness is similar to Pure Consciousness in many ways, but they are not quite the same thing.

Mindfulness focuses on conscious awareness of self and surroundings, and this is a prerequisite step towards Pure Consciousness. But Pure Consciousness goes deeper, because it is a state in which the mind itself becomes self-aware.

Pure Consciousness is also not only a mental meditation system. There are many forms of meditation. Pure Consciousness practices incorporate visualizations, vibrations, sounds, and movements, all of which are meditative. Many of these practices are done while sitting comfortably in a chair; some are performed continuously throughout all other activities in your day.

And, raising your state of consciousness is only one half of the process. Integrating Pure Consciousness into your body and your everyday life is the other half, without which the process would be incomplete.

Our entire focus is on supporting your healing and awakening, at every level of your being.

Our founder, Master Mingtong Gu, started out with asthma, scoliosis, as well as deep emotional pain from an unhappy and unstable childhood while growing up in China.

He found very little relief from standard treatments, and was resigned to a life centered on trying to manage his symptoms and pain.

In 1993 during his search for relief and healing, a friend of his from Ohio invited him to a Qigong class she was teaching.

When he spoke about his first experience, he said, “I was fascinated but had no idea how this could improve my health. But then… I felt a sense of lightness, flexibility, and inner being-ness that I had never experienced before. I asked my friend if she had any books about the practice and she gave me a book written in Chinese about the Medicineless Qigong Hospital in China. This planted the seed that led to my return to China and studying with Dr. Grandmaster Pang Ming.”

Inspired By The Chinese Hospital With No Medicine

Master Mingtong’s journey to wellness led him to China, to Dr. Grandmaster Pang Ming’s Huaxia Zhineng Qigong Clinic, Training, and Recovery Center — also known as the Medicine-less Qigong Hospital, where he experienced profound healing through the ancient healing modality Zhineng Qigong, which translates to “Wisdom Healing Qigong”.

This Center was unlike typical hospitals you might think of; it used Qigong as the only form of treatment.

Over 23 years, The Center in China served 200,000 people with chronic, incurable, and “terminal” illnesses with excellent results.

Master Mingtong learned that Zhineng Qigong wasn’t just about movements. The healing went far deeper than the physical…

“We cultivate our own life energy through accessing nature’s great store of life energy [called qi or chi]. This approach produces quick results. But cultivating one’s qi/chi is not the most fundamental; cultivating one’s spirit is.

“We cultivate our own life energy through accessing nature’s great store of life energy [called qi or chi]. This approach produces quick results.

This leads to vibrant health, a harmonious body and mind, and awakened spiritual life.”

People might have come in for help with a chronic illness, but they left with a depth and renewed awakening of their spirit that changed their lives in profound ways.

At first, Mingtong went to Grandmaster Pang’s Medicine-less Qigong Hospital simply with the intention of finding more inner peace and emotional balance.

Yet, what he got was so much more.

“The main changes I noticed, in the beginning, were emotional. I started to feel more open and more secure — an overall sense of centeredness at first, then a deeper sense of happiness, and eventually, an overall increase in my awareness and emotional capacity. I could feel my emotions return to inner centeredness and inner peace effectively when strong emotions arose — without being suppressed.”

And, it didn’t stop there.

“I started to notice a new sense of well-being after I decided to make this practice a regular routine. My spine started to open, my breathing became deeper, and my mind started to settle with an inner sense of exploration.”

In time, with consistent practice, Master Mingtong healed his asthma and scoliosis completely.

It was incredible.

As he healed at The Medicine-less Qigong Hospital, Master Mingtong watched other people come with every sort of illness and emotional struggle you could imagine, and was fascinated to watch as residents got healthier and more joyful throughout their stay.

As miraculous as this sounds, there’s a lot of scientific validation to it as well!

Fast-Forward To Today

Master Mingtong Gu has changed the lives of hundreds of thousands of people around the world, using the Wisdom Healing Qigong methods that he learned from Dr. Grandmaster Pang Ming.

His dedication has been recognized by being named the Qigong Master of the Year by the World Congress for Qigong and Traditional Chinese Medicine.

Students learn and practice one of the most effective energy healing practices and systems of human science – Wisdom Healing (Zhineng) Qigong. Master Mingtong may lead any of the basic to the advanced practice including Lift Chi Up Pour Chi Down Method (LCUPCD), Standing Meditation, Spinal Bone Marrow Method, Body Mind Method, Wall Squats, Inner Alchemy of Emotional Transformation, Transforming Jing Method, Nine Palaces Method, and other advanced methods. The practice will be a sustainable practice of healing as well as a life transformation. Wisdom Healing Qigong practices represent a radically different technology offered to awaken, transform, and integrate your entire chi body — from the cellular to the spiritual — returning us to our natural, healthy, balanced state of being. This technology re-patterns the physical, emotional and mental/spiritual energy that is not flowing freely, that is experienced as pain and suffering, into energy that is flowing freely, bringing forth natural states of happiness, compassion, openness, and wholeness.

During certain segments of the day students may practice with qualified teachers, the most applicable methods according to your personal needs and recommended by Master Mingtong.

Students drink in the potent chi “medicine” day and night, just as the people at the medicine-less Qigong Hospital in China, through movement, meditation, sound, visualization and REST. Master Mingtong will personally lead you to cultivate the Six Golden Keys of chi “medicine” as the most effective “ingredients” prescribed by the Qigong Hospital.

Participants cultivate and embody the chi medicine––which is the life force within–– residing in this powerful chi field led by Master Mingtong as transmitted by Grandmaster Pang Ming through the ancient Wisdom tradition of Qigong. There are additional qualified teachers and experienced leaders to guide the practice and support your process. The chi community, bonded by the healing chi field, is one of the most precious jewels that will continue to connect to your heart and practice.

Attendees “digest” chi medicine with a “chi nap” every day and “sleep Qigong” overnight. Master Mingtong will lead group-healing sessions every day, including healing transmissions, healing circles or spirals, and small group healing sessions. Master Mingtong or and his gifted wife, Linling may offer individual healing session appointments to retreat participants.

Students purify chi by moving through challenges and releasing the mental and emotional resistance to change using this profound practice of energy transformation, including Inner Alchemy of Emotional Transformation Method.

Participants learn and practice to receive chi mentally by receiving teachings and changing mental patterns to align with their conscious choice of healing and fulfillment in life. Students bring the infinite heavenly blessings into their food, conventional medicine, and earthly life through visualization. They realize the significance of earthly life as the expression of the heavenly consciousness.

Attendees activate and celebrate awakening through music, song, dance and lots of hugs and laughter. There will be silence during half of the retreat to allow for integration and your personal journey deeply inward. The Chi Team leaders will support you in loving, intimate, and healing sub-groups.

Students embody heavenly chi medicine through inner wisdom and consciousness, awakening to their individual deep nature and purpose. They learn the advanced skills to “transmit” chi into the body and living organisms through your consciousness.

During the Retreat, participants receive and cultivate the most precious gift — their awakening consciousness — and will be able to actualize it within their body, heart, and mind and therefore all of life transforming automated, conditioned patterns to that of autonomous wisdom. Students can cultivate this practice as a roadmap towards complete healing, as well as a path to enlightenment.

There is no requirement for experiencing Qigong. We welcome anyone who sincerely wishes to transform their challenges of life into an opportunity for growth, whether on the physical level, mental level, emotional level, or spiritual level.

And, we’ve prepared a Retreat Foundations Kit that you can begin as soon as you register for your next Retreat. The staff and teachers have loaded this with lots of terminology, tips, and practice ideas you’ll want to know in advance. As Master Mingtong says, “Your Retreat begins the moment you’ve made the decision to sign up!”

Once you begin, participating in the Healing Intensive Retreat does require your full commitment to the healing process.Open your mind and heart to your healing intention and healing chi; “Do your best, allow the mind to rest and let the Universe do the rest!”

Make your Qigong Retreat (self-healing together) your absolute priority for the precious days you are in Master Mingtong’s presence and minimize your daily obligations and other activities.

Make a list of your challenges and resistances (mental, emotional, and physical conditions). Bring your awareness and compassion to these areas of healing. Always inwardly trust your dedication to your healing. Let go of your old stories and the stories of others.

Make a dedication to yourself in this way: “I am ready to heal myself in the chi field, no matter what it takes and how it feels.” — instead of “I will be healed if this happens and that doesn’t happen.”

The Universe responds to our intention unconditionally. Any conditioning of my willingness to heal will compromise the benefit.

Listen to your inner voice of your body and stay in the chi field even when you need to take a break; Allow your mind and heart to offer the best healing medicine to your body.

Honor yourself as well as others, respect everyone’s privacy and offer your blessings to others’ challenges. Don’t share any stories from the Retreat with others.

Conventional medical support will be respected and honored. We each will honor ourselves as a sovereign self-healer, and not as a patient. You may want to include your medication and dietary supplements in your intention for healing — acknowledging that everything is energy/chi and then extend the blessing of “all is well and getting better” (Haola) to the conventional medicine. You can embrace the wisdom of your body to use what is in service and supportive within the medication, while allowing anything that is not serving your health and wellness to pass through you without harm. If you anticipate any special needs during the retreat, please make advance arrangements. You may bring flowers, healing objects to the space to make your heart offering. Your healing has been accelerating already since you made a dedication to this Retreat. With the blessings of all teachers, Master Mingtong Gu has organized this healing chi field for all of us. He advises that all obstacles you may experience, before and during the retreat, will be a deep purification of mind, emotion, and your body.Stay in a “Haola” mindset — “All is well and getting better. So be it!”

The goal of a Chi Center Retreat or Healing Intensive is transformation. Truly a life-changing experience, the Wisdom Healing Retreats are opportunities to work on your body, heart, mind, and energy — to realize your deepest intention of radiant health, true happiness, joy, and profound peace — and to embody the awakening consciousness.

Expect the unexpected. Make the impossible possible. This is the science and technology of making miracles. We, together, are the scientists, healers, and explorers of the creative inner and outer life force.

Your mind, heart and cells are truly fed by life energy on all levels. Your capacity, as a human being encoded with good will, intelligence and love, will fully awaken to its true potential as self-healer and healer of others. You will not only bring home your renewed body and spirit but also effective tools and practices that will sustain your healthy body and support your conscious living. The healing community is growing so strong and you are connected with this big “chi family” through continuous reunion and support, even at a long distance.

Healing Intensive Retreats have been designed to actualize an experience of intensive chi healing. A first-of–its-kind in North America, the Healing Intensive Retreat offers the same successful healing program that was established for people experiencing major health challenges at the world’s largest Qigong hospital in China. Over 200,000 people with all types of illnesses were treated there. The Qigong hospital reported a 95% effective improvement.

You will receive great benefit if you are:

  • Stressed or depleted
  • Working with any dimension of physical, mental, or emotional dis-ease or trauma
  • Committed to making sustainable, positive changes in life — for yourself and with others
  • Ready to expand and refresh your healing ability as a professional or a caregiver
  • Inspired to work for the awakening of human potential

Participating in Chi Center Retreats will enable you to:

  • Learn to clear and balance emotions so that a deeper healing can occur.
  • Develop a quiet and creative mind to realize healing most effectively.
  • Discover how to enter pure and expanded consciousness.
  • Organize a chi field of healing with a collective power to accelerate your healing.

Whether you attend online or on-campus, video replays of your program will be available for 30 days after the workshop ends. (Note: QFLM members retain replay access as long as they are the Qigong for Life Master member!)

What is your true, pure intention for joining this program? Your answer, your truth carries a certain energetic signature.

What is Wisdom Healing Qigong

Qi (pronounced chee) means “energy or vital lifeforce”. Gong refers to “deepening or cultivation”. Wisdom Healing Qigong is a whole system of practice to upgrade your mental, physical, spiritual & emotional wellbeing using connection to and cultivation of universal energy.

氣功

QIGONG is a practice, a technology, and an art that applies ancient wisdom, modern science, and the mind’s creative power to transform our lives from dis-ease to health and well-being.

It’s a direct and powerful technology to tap into the infinite source of energy — the same energy in the Milky Way — and use this infinite source to transform our physical and psychological conditions for a better, more balanced life.

HEALING is the application and benefit of awakening consciousness and wisdom when we work with energy as the foundational substance of the creative living universe within and around us.

True healing addresses the deepest causes of disease and life’s problems beyond simply fixing the symptoms. It requires practice to become aware of and change the limited patterns of mind, body, and heart and to then address those energetic conditions. The result is improvement of health and wellbeing, including the transformation of chronic illness for both the long and short term. Healing also seeks – quite naturally – the deep transformation of the whole person, by realizing the whole unified harmony of the individual within and in relationship to the multi-dimensional unity of all life.

WISDOM is the understanding that arises from an awakening of our perception and consciousness of life. Ultimate wisdom is the ability to know and embody the creative source of the living universe, moment-to-moment. It is our conscious capacity to fully participate in the continuous dance of evolving creation.

WISDOM HEALING QIGONG is a Western expression of the most validated effective form of Qigong, cultivated and refined by Master Mingtong Gu. Its foundations stem from the practice of Zhineng Qigong, founded by Master Mingtong’s revered and beloved teacher in China, Dr. Grandmaster Pang Ming.

Qigong is the cosmology (theory) and technology (art) for consciousness to work with creative energy (chi). It is a creative union of consciousness and energy, which awakens the joy-full wisdom capacity of mind, heart, and body.

"I had a dire medical diagnosis and at the end of December 2020, so I signed up for the 20 day retreat. And then of course COVID came (retreat canceled) and I thought, well, I guess I have to do this on my own. "But I ended up doing a couple of online week-long retreats, which were wonderful, really wonderful. When I sat down in front of my computer, I just had all of this love and light coming at me and I found that continued even when I had work to do. What I've experienced in my body has been significant changes in the discomfort that I've been feeling and more mobility. "And all of the folks in the online retreat had their gallery pictures on while we were practicing. I'm amazed. I'm simply amazed at the connection and the joy and the happiness. "Wisdom Healing Qigong has come to mean community for me. I've practiced Qigong for many years. Different forms. And it's always been a spiritual experience for me. But this feels like a very tangible, earthly and heavenly community that I can step into, whenever I need to, or want."

I now practice Lift Chi Up Pour Chi Down more deeply, moving energy all around my body. I feel it especially in my feet, organs, kidneys, heart, and especially my brain. The practice of Hun Yuan Ling Tong is so powerful as a seed expanding to the infinite and back to the smallest infinitesimally small... smaller than the smallest particle and larger than the largest parts of the infinite cosmos. It is a beautiful paradox of all things transforming. It is the flower opening like "a beautiful sun in the morning. Slowly my stroke is evaporating. It is hard and requires great concentration, great focus and love for myself in spite of anything that affects my well being externally, such as finances, divorce, relationships, and all the children I teach...all of it good. Anything challenging is all transformed by my deepening practice. I have a great facility in my brain for visualizing. From making art, creativity and visualization go hand in hand. My mental capacity increases when the image is strong of connecting with the chifield (and it is always getting stronger). Where my mind goes the energy flows..it really does.

Students learn and practice one of the most effective energy healing practices and systems of human science – Wisdom Healing (Zhineng) Qigong. Master Mingtong may lead any of the basic to the advanced practice including Lift Chi Up Pour Chi Down Method (LCUPCD), Standing Meditation, Spinal Bone Marrow Method, Body Mind Method, Wall Squats, Inner Alchemy of Emotional Transformation, Transforming Jing Method, Nine Palaces Method, and other advanced methods. The practice will be a sustainable practice of healing as well as a life transformation. Wisdom Healing Qigong practices represent a radically different technology offered to awaken, transform, and integrate your entire chi body — from the cellular to the spiritual — returning us to our natural, healthy, balanced state of being. This technology re-patterns the physical, emotional and mental/spiritual energy that is not flowing freely, that is experienced as pain and suffering, into energy that is flowing freely, bringing forth natural states of happiness, compassion, openness, and wholeness.

During certain segments of the day students may practice with qualified teachers, the most applicable methods according to your personal needs and recommended by Master Mingtong.

Students drink in the potent chi “medicine” day and night, just as the people at the medicine-less Qigong Hospital in China, through movement, meditation, sound, visualization and REST. Master Mingtong will personally lead you to cultivate the Six Golden Keys of chi “medicine” as the most effective “ingredients” prescribed by the Qigong Hospital.

Participants cultivate and embody the chi medicine––which is the life force within–– residing in this powerful chi field led by Master Mingtong as transmitted by Grandmaster Pang Ming through the ancient Wisdom tradition of Qigong. There are additional qualified teachers and experienced leaders to guide the practice and support your process. The chi community, bonded by the healing chi field, is one of the most precious jewels that will continue to connect to your heart and practice.

Attendees “digest” chi medicine with a “chi nap” every day and “sleep Qigong” overnight. Master Mingtong will lead group-healing sessions every day, including healing transmissions, healing circles or spirals, and small group healing sessions. Master Mingtong or and his gifted wife, Linling may offer individual healing session appointments to retreat participants.

Students purify chi by moving through challenges and releasing the mental and emotional resistance to change using this profound practice of energy transformation, including Inner Alchemy of Emotional Transformation Method.

Participants learn and practice to receive chi mentally by receiving teachings and changing mental patterns to align with their conscious choice of healing and fulfillment in life. Students bring the infinite heavenly blessings into their food, conventional medicine, and earthly life through visualization. They realize the significance of earthly life as the expression of the heavenly consciousness.

Attendees activate and celebrate awakening through music, song, dance and lots of hugs and laughter. There will be silence during half of the retreat to allow for integration and your personal journey deeply inward. The Chi Team leaders will support you in loving, intimate, and healing sub-groups.

Students embody heavenly chi medicine through inner wisdom and consciousness, awakening to their individual deep nature and purpose. They learn the advanced skills to “transmit” chi into the body and living organisms through your consciousness.

During the Retreat, participants receive and cultivate the most precious gift — their awakening consciousness — and will be able to actualize it within their body, heart, and mind and therefore all of life transforming automated, conditioned patterns to that of autonomous wisdom. Students can cultivate this practice as a roadmap towards complete healing, as well as a path to enlightenment.

There is no requirement for experiencing Qigong. We welcome anyone who sincerely wishes to transform their challenges of life into an opportunity for growth, whether on the physical level, mental level, emotional level, or spiritual level.

And, we’ve prepared a Retreat Foundations Kit that you can begin as soon as you register for your next Retreat. The staff and teachers have loaded this with lots of terminology, tips, and practice ideas you’ll want to know in advance. As Master Mingtong says, “Your Retreat begins the moment you’ve made the decision to sign up!”

Once you begin, participating in the Healing Intensive Retreat does require your full commitment to the healing process.Open your mind and heart to your healing intention and healing chi; “Do your best, allow the mind to rest and let the Universe do the rest!”

Make your Qigong Retreat (self-healing together) your absolute priority for the precious days you are in Master Mingtong’s presence and minimize your daily obligations and other activities.

Make a list of your challenges and resistances (mental, emotional, and physical conditions). Bring your awareness and compassion to these areas of healing. Always inwardly trust your dedication to your healing. Let go of your old stories and the stories of others.

Make a dedication to yourself in this way: “I am ready to heal myself in the chi field, no matter what it takes and how it feels.” — instead of “I will be healed if this happens and that doesn’t happen.”

The Universe responds to our intention unconditionally. Any conditioning of my willingness to heal will compromise the benefit.

Listen to your inner voice of your body and stay in the chi field even when you need to take a break; Allow your mind and heart to offer the best healing medicine to your body.

Honor yourself as well as others, respect everyone’s privacy and offer your blessings to others’ challenges. Don’t share any stories from the Retreat with others.

Conventional medical support will be respected and honored. We each will honor ourselves as a sovereign self-healer, and not as a patient. You may want to include your medication and dietary supplements in your intention for healing — acknowledging that everything is energy/chi and then extend the blessing of “all is well and getting better” (Haola) to the conventional medicine. You can embrace the wisdom of your body to use what is in service and supportive within the medication, while allowing anything that is not serving your health and wellness to pass through you without harm. If you anticipate any special needs during the retreat, please make advance arrangements. You may bring flowers, healing objects to the space to make your heart offering. Your healing has been accelerating already since you made a dedication to this Retreat. With the blessings of all teachers, Master Mingtong Gu has organized this healing chi field for all of us. He advises that all obstacles you may experience, before and during the retreat, will be a deep purification of mind, emotion, and your body.Stay in a “Haola” mindset — “All is well and getting better. So be it!”

The goal of a Chi Center Retreat or Healing Intensive is transformation. Truly a life-changing experience, the Wisdom Healing Retreats are opportunities to work on your body, heart, mind, and energy — to realize your deepest intention of radiant health, true happiness, joy, and profound peace — and to embody the awakening consciousness.

Expect the unexpected. Make the impossible possible. This is the science and technology of making miracles. We, together, are the scientists, healers, and explorers of the creative inner and outer life force.

Your mind, heart and cells are truly fed by life energy on all levels. Your capacity, as a human being encoded with good will, intelligence and love, will fully awaken to its true potential as self-healer and healer of others. You will not only bring home your renewed body and spirit but also effective tools and practices that will sustain your healthy body and support your conscious living. The healing community is growing so strong and you are connected with this big “chi family” through continuous reunion and support, even at a long distance.

Healing Intensive Retreats have been designed to actualize an experience of intensive chi healing. A first-of–its-kind in North America, the Healing Intensive Retreat offers the same successful healing program that was established for people experiencing major health challenges at the world’s largest Qigong hospital in China. Over 200,000 people with all types of illnesses were treated there. The Qigong hospital reported a 95% effective improvement.

You will receive great benefit if you are:

  • Stressed or depleted
  • Working with any dimension of physical, mental, or emotional dis-ease or trauma
  • Committed to making sustainable, positive changes in life — for yourself and with others
  • Ready to expand and refresh your healing ability as a professional or a caregiver
  • Inspired to work for the awakening of human potential

Participating in Chi Center Retreats will enable you to:

  • Learn to clear and balance emotions so that a deeper healing can occur.
  • Develop a quiet and creative mind to realize healing most effectively.
  • Discover how to enter pure and expanded consciousness.
  • Organize a chi field of healing with a collective power to accelerate your healing.
  • Learn profound theories and practices for energy healing to better understand and realize your healing capacity.
  • Learn the ultimate methods to transmit chi for the healing of self and others, called Fachi and Lachi
  • Cultivate inner and outer support systems, including individual practice and community connections for sustainable healing.

Whether you attend online or on-campus, video replays of your program will be available for 30 days after the workshop ends. (Note: QFLM members retain replay access as long as they are the Qigong for Life Master member!)

If you still have questions about the Retreat, or Wisdom Healing Qigong in general please write to us and we’ll get back to you as soon as possible, so you can make the best plans and decisions for yourself. Email Support@ChiCenter.com

Arrival At The Chi Center: Please come to the Dining Hall/Main Lodge to register – just past the pond.

Check-In/Orientation: At the beginning of your stay, you will receive a welcome orientation by our staff at check-in to relay important information about the site. This will include an outline of emergency procedures and releases for each individual.

Lodging

►Check-in time at the center is between 2:00-5:00pm. Dinner, Intro and Orientation events begin at 5:40pm.

Laundry:

We have a guest laundry room located at the Ranch House (see map). The door is marked “Guest Laundry” and the building is nearest to the large white Kuan Yin statue for additional reference. Unscented soaps are provided and there is no charge to launder your personal items.

Terrain:

The campus lies on 150 acres of somewhat hilly terrain. There is a road as well as a walking trail between the rooms and the main house where meals are served. The road is lit at night for safe passage. It is approximately a 5-minute walk to and from most of the guest rooms and the main house. Please bring closed toed shoes for walking and hiking in desert terrain.

Computer Access:

WiFi is available to all of our guests (password is chiguest).

Cellular Telephone Coverage:

Mobile phone coverage on campus works best if you set your phone to enable WiFi calling and connect to the wifi. Cellular service is week, so you can also make calls over the internet through apps like What’s App. We ask that you turn your ring setting to vibrate or silent while on campus to keep from disturbing other guests.

Lost & Found:

All Lost & Found articles will be held for 30 days, after which they will be distributed in a charitable manner. If you feel you have left something behind, please email us at Support@chicenter.com.

Be sure to drink more water than usual – lots of water! We are at high, dry elevations and staying hydrated is essential. You’ll find dispensers filled with filtered water in many places on the property to help remind you to “fill up”. Prevention will help you acclimate to the 7,000 ft altitude and dry terrain and bypass the typical mild symptoms that can include fatigue, headaches, lightheadedness, or sleep disturbances.

Online Retreat Info

The Benefits of attending a Livestream

The Chi Center’s online programs are not just a second-best choice option nor are they simply another online course among many in the virtual world.  Online offerings have been the ever-strengthening foundation of our core programs for more than 10 years, through the on-going cultivation of Master Mingtong’s vision and The Chi Center’s commitment. 

This Fall our Online Retreats have been upgraded yet again to meet our evolving community’s needs and capacity.  You will find these Retreats the most immersive deep dive of anything of their kind. We are setting new records — not only for the breadth and depth of our own programs but also within the field of mind-body-spirit.

So, today’s attendees will benefit from decades of the deepening of the Wisdom Healing Qigong chi field, plus the expanded power and potency of our ever-evolving teachings and programs designed to serve a world-wide community.

How to Prepare for your at-home Livestream Experience

Make a special space to connect online that supports your experience. Have a comfortable place to sit, and to stand with room enough to move your arms for practice. Also, have a comfortable place to lie down as needed and for chi naps.

It is preferable that your space is in one room, but this is not essential. Just try to minimize the amount of moving around your house during the online sessions so that you are better able to stay focused and relax into the chi field.

And remember to have cozy blankets and pillows with you, too. It’s all about being relaxed and comfortable.

“Even though I couldn’t always attend during the live broadcasts, I could feel the healing energy of the chi-verse when I was able to tune in later in the day. Master Mingtong Gu’s sound healings make my organs sing! Not only do I have more energy and my knees are much happier, but at this time of rapid change and challenge I feel calm and centered. I would encourage anyone who wants to feel better, with more vitality and joy, to sign up for an online retreat with The Chi Center today! Haola"

"I'm at home [online attending the Retreat] but I feel like I am there in the Kiva too. I am reeling. I could feel the chi internally... I felt the fire of healing. Haola! This was extremely powerful. Qigong is brand new to me during every Retreat because I am a different person each time — I have not yet met who I am becoming. My Old Story departs every second. Online Retreats are fabulous! I am experiencing One Heart/One Mind of optimism, highest fath, and whatever comes next..."

"Gratitude for this Online Retreat – Master Mingtong and all at The Chi Center making these teachings possible to reach us anywhere. Gratitude and Haola."

Students learn and practice one of the most effective energy healing practices and systems of human science – Wisdom Healing (Zhineng) Qigong. Master Mingtong may lead any of the basic to the advanced practice including Lift Chi Up Pour Chi Down Method (LCUPCD), Standing Meditation, Spinal Bone Marrow Method, Body Mind Method, Wall Squats, Inner Alchemy of Emotional Transformation, Transforming Jing Method, Nine Palaces Method, and other advanced methods. The practice will be a sustainable practice of healing as well as a life transformation. Wisdom Healing Qigong practices represent a radically different technology offered to awaken, transform, and integrate your entire chi body — from the cellular to the spiritual — returning us to our natural, healthy, balanced state of being. This technology re-patterns the physical, emotional and mental/spiritual energy that is not flowing freely, that is experienced as pain and suffering, into energy that is flowing freely, bringing forth natural states of happiness, compassion, openness, and wholeness.

During certain segments of the day students may practice with qualified teachers, the most applicable methods according to your personal needs and recommended by Master Mingtong.

Students drink in the potent chi “medicine” day and night, just as the people at the medicine-less Qigong Hospital in China, through movement, meditation, sound, visualization and REST. Master Mingtong will personally lead you to cultivate the Six Golden Keys of chi “medicine” as the most effective “ingredients” prescribed by the Qigong Hospital.

Participants cultivate and embody the chi medicine––which is the life force within–– residing in this powerful chi field led by Master Mingtong as transmitted by Grandmaster Pang Ming through the ancient Wisdom tradition of Qigong. There are additional qualified teachers and experienced leaders to guide the practice and support your process. The chi community, bonded by the healing chi field, is one of the most precious jewels that will continue to connect to your heart and practice.

Attendees “digest” chi medicine with a “chi nap” every day and “sleep Qigong” overnight. Master Mingtong will lead group-healing sessions every day, including healing transmissions, healing circles or spirals, and small group healing sessions. Master Mingtong or and his gifted wife, Linling may offer individual healing session appointments to retreat participants.

Students purify chi by moving through challenges and releasing the mental and emotional resistance to change using this profound practice of energy transformation, including Inner Alchemy of Emotional Transformation Method.

Participants learn and practice to receive chi mentally by receiving teachings and changing mental patterns to align with their conscious choice of healing and fulfillment in life. Students bring the infinite heavenly blessings into their food, conventional medicine, and earthly life through visualization. They realize the significance of earthly life as the expression of the heavenly consciousness.

Attendees activate and celebrate awakening through music, song, dance and lots of hugs and laughter. There will be silence during half of the retreat to allow for integration and your personal journey deeply inward. The Chi Team leaders will support you in loving, intimate, and healing sub-groups.

Students embody heavenly chi medicine through inner wisdom and consciousness, awakening to their individual deep nature and purpose. They learn the advanced skills to “transmit” chi into the body and living organisms through your consciousness.

During the Retreat, participants receive and cultivate the most precious gift — their awakening consciousness — and will be able to actualize it within their body, heart, and mind and therefore all of life transforming automated, conditioned patterns to that of autonomous wisdom. Students can cultivate this practice as a roadmap towards complete healing, as well as a path to enlightenment.

There is no requirement for experiencing Qigong. We welcome anyone who sincerely wishes to transform their challenges of life into an opportunity for growth, whether on the physical level, mental level, emotional level, or spiritual level.

And, we’ve prepared a Retreat Foundations Kit that you can begin as soon as you register for your next Retreat. The staff and teachers have loaded this with lots of terminology, tips, and practice ideas you’ll want to know in advance. As Master Mingtong says, “Your Retreat begins the moment you’ve made the decision to sign up!”

Once you begin, participating in the Healing Intensive Retreat does require your full commitment to the healing process.Open your mind and heart to your healing intention and healing chi; “Do your best, allow the mind to rest and let the Universe do the rest!”

Make your Qigong Retreat (self-healing together) your absolute priority for the precious days you are in Master Mingtong’s presence and minimize your daily obligations and other activities.

Make a list of your challenges and resistances (mental, emotional, and physical conditions). Bring your awareness and compassion to these areas of healing. Always inwardly trust your dedication to your healing. Let go of your old stories and the stories of others.

Make a dedication to yourself in this way: “I am ready to heal myself in the chi field, no matter what it takes and how it feels.” — instead of “I will be healed if this happens and that doesn’t happen.”

The Universe responds to our intention unconditionally. Any conditioning of my willingness to heal will compromise the benefit.

Listen to your inner voice of your body and stay in the chi field even when you need to take a break; Allow your mind and heart to offer the best healing medicine to your body.

Honor yourself as well as others, respect everyone’s privacy and offer your blessings to others’ challenges. Don’t share any stories from the Retreat with others.

Conventional medical support will be respected and honored. We each will honor ourselves as a sovereign self-healer, and not as a patient. You may want to include your medication and dietary supplements in your intention for healing — acknowledging that everything is energy/chi and then extend the blessing of “all is well and getting better” (Haola) to the conventional medicine. You can embrace the wisdom of your body to use what is in service and supportive within the medication, while allowing anything that is not serving your health and wellness to pass through you without harm. If you anticipate any special needs during the retreat, please make advance arrangements. You may bring flowers, healing objects to the space to make your heart offering. Your healing has been accelerating already since you made a dedication to this Retreat. With the blessings of all teachers, Master Mingtong Gu has organized this healing chi field for all of us. He advises that all obstacles you may experience, before and during the retreat, will be a deep purification of mind, emotion, and your body.Stay in a “Haola” mindset — “All is well and getting better. So be it!”

The goal of a Chi Center Retreat or Healing Intensive is transformation. Truly a life-changing experience, the Wisdom Healing Retreats are opportunities to work on your body, heart, mind, and energy — to realize your deepest intention of radiant health, true happiness, joy, and profound peace — and to embody the awakening consciousness.

Expect the unexpected. Make the impossible possible. This is the science and technology of making miracles. We, together, are the scientists, healers, and explorers of the creative inner and outer life force.

Your mind, heart and cells are truly fed by life energy on all levels. Your capacity, as a human being encoded with good will, intelligence and love, will fully awaken to its true potential as self-healer and healer of others. You will not only bring home your renewed body and spirit but also effective tools and practices that will sustain your healthy body and support your conscious living. The healing community is growing so strong and you are connected with this big “chi family” through continuous reunion and support, even at a long distance.

Healing Intensive Retreats have been designed to actualize an experience of intensive chi healing. A first-of–its-kind in North America, the Healing Intensive Retreat offers the same successful healing program that was established for people experiencing major health challenges at the world’s largest Qigong hospital in China. Over 200,000 people with all types of illnesses were treated there. The Qigong hospital reported a 95% effective improvement.

You will receive great benefit if you are:

  • Stressed or depleted
  • Working with any dimension of physical, mental, or emotional dis-ease or trauma
  • Committed to making sustainable, positive changes in life — for yourself and with others
  • Ready to expand and refresh your healing ability as a professional or a caregiver
  • Inspired to work for the awakening of human potential

Participating in Chi Center Retreats will enable you to:

  • Learn to clear and balance emotions so that a deeper healing can occur.
  • Develop a quiet and creative mind to realize healing most effectively.
  • Discover how to enter pure and expanded consciousness.
  • Organize a chi field of healing with a collective power to accelerate your healing.
  • Learn profound theories and practices for energy healing to better understand and realize your healing capacity.
  • Learn the ultimate methods to transmit chi for the healing of self and others, called Fachi and Lachi
  • Cultivate inner and outer support systems, including individual practice and community connections for sustainable healing.

Whether you attend online or on-campus, video replays of your program will be available for 30 days after the retreat ends. (Note: QFLM members retain replay access as long as they are the Qigong for Life Master member!)

Yes — in fact, we encourage it! If you have others living in your household they can share the online livestream with you at no additional charge.

Recordings of each session are uploaded into your Chi Center online library as soon as feasible after the videos can be processed — usually within 24 hours of the original programming. That means you can always watch any session you miss the next day, as soon as your schedule allows. And, if you want to catch up or watch any segment again, the replays remain in your library as described above.

If you haven’t tried Wisdom Healing Qigong before, you may be wondering if it can really make a difference. We get it. We are very confident in the high quality of our events and want to make sure that we earn your trust, so we offer a liberal cancellation policy so you can attend for 1 day with confidence: If within the first 24 hours of your chosen livestream event, you decide the program is not right for you, please write to our Support & Service Team letting us know you would like to cancel and receive a full refund. After that time, there is no refund available.
