Master Mingtong Gu makes it all very personal. His tangible emotion and compassion is revealed in every word, sound and movement. My heart is so deeply touched.

I want to say, Master Mingtong Gu, of all the people that I've met in my life, both teachers, gurus, leaders, that to me you embody what you teach, and you have the qualities that I would consider the most beautiful God-like that is so touching to me. You're a great teacher, you have great wisdom, common sense, infinite patience, which is so impressive. And you also have total lack of human pride. I met you at the gate of The Chi Center and you greeted me like I was your best friend, so pure and happy to meet me. So innocent, so playful and childlike. You had the strength of a great master that doesn’t get your way of being pure, natural, playful.

About Master Mingtong Gu

Named Qigong Master of the Year by the 13th World Congress on Qigong and Traditional Chinese Medicine, Master Mingtong Gu possesses a profound ability to harness energy in order to accelerate personal and global healing, making him a sought-after healer, practitioner, and teacher.

As a child growing up in China during the Cultural Revolution, Master Gu endured hunger, poverty, and a long separation from his birth family. Despite these incredible hardships, he became the first from his village to attend college, earning a bachelor’s degree in mathematics followed by two master’s degrees, including an MFA from Ohio State University. As a graduate student in art, Master Gu discovered the treasures of his own culture through the spiritual iconography of Hinduism, Buddhism, Taoism, and Western mystic traditions while practicing yoga, Tantric Buddhism, and Qigong.

In 1997, Master Gu returned to China for Qiqong training under Dr. Pang Ming, a Qigong Grandmaster trained in Western medicine and traditional Chinese medicine, and the founder of the world’s largest Qigong hospital. During his training, Master Gu observed thousands of cases of chronic and “incurable” diseases being healed at this “medicine-less” hospital, which has now treated over 200,000 patients with over 185 different illnesses, with a 95 percent effective improvement rate.

Witnessing these profound healing experiences inspired Master Gu’s dedication to the teaching and practice of Qigong healing, which he now teaches to thousands of people in the United States, China, and Europe through his workshops, books, and education programs. He created the Qigong for Life Mastery Online series—a collection of courses which translate the ancient teachings of Wisdom Healing Qigong™ for contemporary times—and is the founder of The Chi Center and the Center for Wisdom Healing Qigong, a beautiful 150-acre resort located 20 minutes south of Santa Fe, New Mexico.

Through practice, Master Gu has recovered from his own chronic conditions of asthma, scoliosis, back pain, and kidney weakness. His teaching emphasizes activating the power of inner self-healing, facilitating the release of chronic illness while improving health and well-being. Master Gu lives and teaches with his wife Linling, also a gifted healer, and their two children.
