Preface
Chinese Qigong, in short, is an ancient philosophical system
of harmonious integration of the human body with the universe.
It is related to arts and sciences. It integrates the mind, bioenergy,
form and spirit of the human through systematic discipline
mentally, morally and physically. The cultivation of one's
beneficial relationship with the cosmic environment results in an
optimistic attitude toward life. Chinese Qigong can not only
strengthen the human body through prevention of illness and self
healing but can also arouse latent powerful potentials. It is the
most ideal and scientific way of acquiring longevity and happy
life for practitioners.
Chinese Qigong was initiated in ancient time. In order to
survive adverse circumstances, our forefathers had to rely on their
internal sensitivity and exploit their latent abilities, such as
foretelling the weather or earthquakes, seeing and communicating
long distance, visualizing internal organs of the human body for
diagnosis, therapy, and so on.
The basic principle of Qigong is to coordinate the human
body with the universe. It was assumed that all things in the
world had spirit and intelligence. People were to keep in harmony
with nature and absorb vital energy from outside the body to
supplement their needs. The whole philosophy regarding the
relationship of the human body with the universe gradually
formulated the theory of Chinese traditional medicine.
Following the development of sciences and technology,
human beings have improved their living environment. They do
not need to try hard to utilize their latent power any more but
instead depend more on modern technical instruments for their
struggles. Additionally, under the condition of plentiful materials
for human life, mankind has already changed the original way of
living in quiescence and tranquility. Hence, many have lost the
knowledge and ability to exploit their potential. Only in some
ancient civilized countries like China and India, do people still

keep the valuable tradition handed down from one generation to
another. There is a 7,000-year history of hieroglyphic and a
3,000-year history of Chinese writing on Qigong. During this long
history, there were a few people keeping Qigong as their legacy
in each generation. There are a few 'supermen', who have
extrasensory perceptions far beyond the functions of
contemporary sciences. But, from a Qigong point of view, there
remains only some latent potential in modern human life.
Over a long period of history, some religions involved
themselves in Qigong for their religious advantage, and put
elements of mystery into Qigong. Consequently, Qigong became
miraculous and abstruse. It was inevitably misunderstood by many
people. Most scientists consider it superstitious and do not allow
it to appear in the Hall of Fame of modern sciences. However, in
the past, quite a few famous scientists with foresight and sagacity
paid attention to the latent ability of human beings and engaged
in some research on it. For instance, Newton and Einstein, the
most famous scientists in the world, contributed to this kind of
research in their old age. In the U.S. in 1925, there was an
institute established for research on the anomalies ability. Now
there are several other famous research institutes engaged in this
project, such as the Princeton Engineering Anomalies Research at
Princeton University, the Mind Center Corporation at Stanford,
the Research Laboratory of Health Sciences, the School of
Medicine at the University of California at LA, the Foundation
for Mind-Being Research in Los Altos, and the Department of
Behavioral Medicine of Harvard School of Medicine. The
famous John E. Fetzer Foundation has contributed a great amount
of financial support to bioenergy research projects. Researchers
have already achieved some good results. However, the
shortcoming is that few high level Qigong masters have ever been
asked to collaborate with the research, so researchers are unable
to get sufficiently substantial results to convince most scientists.
Among many Chinese Qigong masters, Dr. Yan Xin is the
most successful one. He combines Chinese martial art, traditional
Chinese medicine and Chinese Qigong in his medical work, apart
from combining Chinese traditional medicine with the Western
medicine. People in China hold him in high esteem for his
excellent medical skills and noble ethics. Dr. Yan Xin has
renovated methods of Qigong performance by presenting Qigong
lecture with emission of bioenergy, 'Qi'. Millions of people
attend his Qigong performances and countless patients get cured
by his Qigong treatment. Dr. Yan Xin also took the lead in
cooperating with scientists on Qigong research and obtained many
surprising experimental results. The bioenergy or Qi emitted by
him from 10,000 kilometers away can influence changes in the
molecular or nuclear structure of test specimens, including DNA,
RNA and radiation isotopes. All the experiments were repeated
many times with stable results.Quite a few results have been
applied to industrial production and have gained great economic
significance.
The Qigong research work of Yan Xin has proved that the
Chinese Qigong, as a diversified course of discipline, enables the
highest technique in contemporary scientific research. These
achievements provide enough evidence to incite a new revolution
in modern sciences. We hope it is destined to influence the future
development of human society. However, we are sorry to say that
these fantastic achievements in China did not receive proper
scientific attention in the world.
Dr. Yan Xin visited the United States last July. He has ever
since been invited to give about 150 Qigong performances and
lectures over several countries in North America. His lectures and
miraculous healing skills have been performed in most big cities
and famous universities. He was invited to lecture in several
important international medicine conferences and has begun to
collaborate with some research institutes in the U.S. for Qigong
research projects. His activities have aroused quite a sensation
among people in the Western world. He has gained public
recognition with his outstanding contribution to American society.
The State of California awarded him the title of Honorary Citizen.
President George Bush met Dr. Yan Xin twice and addressed him
as 'the contemporary Chinese sage'. There must be quite a

number of Westerners wishing to learn Chinese Qigong. Not only
people who want to achieve a high level of health, but also quite
a few scientists are interested in Qigong research.
'? However, though there are dozens of books about Yan Xin
gong published in several countries, unfortunately none of them
as in English. So, this timely book meets the urgent requirement.
Afl of the articles in this book are collected by the International
Bìn Xin Qigong Association. The most important papers are from
Df. Yan Xin explaining Qigong philosophy and teaching Qigong
Factice. Abstracts of scientific research theses are also included.
Incwill satisfy those who are interested in practicing Qigong as
bell as the scientists who are attracted by the Qigong research.
Of the many Qigong books published in Western countries,
most of them only introduce Qigong as an art of practice for
hoalth, rather than introduce its profound implication for and close
lationship with modern science. Furthermore, some books are
ful of prejudicial points of view, because their authors do not
Rally digest the abstruse philosophy of Qigong, leading to some
{necessary misunderstandings.

Few Qigong masters reach the level of Dr. Yan Xin, reflected
his miraculous power and noble virtue. Few Qigong masters
ave so many enthusiasts and so great an audience. Few have
içcomplished such high levels of scientific experiments as Yan
in. Dr. Yan Xin explained the implication of Chinese Qigong
accurately and clearly. We hope that this book will elevate the
Sanding of Chinese Qigong to the realm of Human Body Science
ad introduce the true entity of contemporary Chinese Qigong to
e Western world.
Limited in time and volume, we can not expect to put all
aspects of Chinese Qigong into one book, for it has such a long
Estory and so many different styles and branches. But we think
Bis a brief way to give Westerners an idea of Qigong introduced
rectly by Yan Xin. We are sure that this book will make an
Sevious contribution to the cultural exchange of the East and the
West and will allow us to share the Chinese treasure, Qigong,
with the rest of the world.

Introduction --- Chinese Superman
1) Introduction about Dr. Yan Xin
and Chinese Qigong
Dr. Yan Xin:
Dr. Yan Xin (pronounced yan shin) is a physician of the
Chinese Traditional Medicine Research Institute of Chongqing,
Sichuan province, China. Before he studied Chinese traditional
medicine, he studied in two colleges of Western medicine in
China. He is a graduate of the University of Chinese Traditional
Medicine in Sichuan and has taught Chinese traditional medicine
for five years. During the past few years he has engaged in
scientific research on Chinese traditional medicine and the Chinese
concept of Qi (pronounced chee), which is the basis of
acupuncture, most martial arts styles, and the Chinese traditional
conception of the body as well as whole universe. He has made
- too many successful scientific studies in cooperation with major
research institutes and universities both in China and abroad to
mention in this short description. He recently attended the
International Qigong Congress in San Francisco and is now
conducting a lecture tour across the United States.
By combining Chinese traditional medicine with the sciences
of Western medicine, and using the special ability of high level
Qigong, he has been able to cure many typical and incurable
diseases. Some of these cases have shown apparently miraculous
and at first unbelievable results. For example, he has cured
broken bone patients within minutes, and some cancer patients
within a few hours. He has helped a person who suffered deafness

for ever thirty years to regain hearing ability within a short time.
He gave a Qigong treatment to an AIDS patient in Hong Kong.
Blood test results appeared normal on this patient from the third
day of Qigong treatment, and has remained so until now, three
Byears after the treatment. in June of 1990 he gave a Qigong
treatment to five AIDS patients in San Francisco, and to another
Tgroup of AIDS patients in Chicago on July 10th. Initial results
from these patients are positive.
In exploring the secrets of Qigong he has collaborated with
Beijing University, Qinghua University, the Chinese Academy of
Sciences, and other scientific research organizations. The scope
of his experiments has been extremely broad, they have included
the fields of Medicine, Biology, Physics, Nuclear Energy,
¿Chemistry, Optics, Astronomy, Geology, Industry, and
Agriculture. The results of his research shows that the latent
potential that every human being carries far exceeds the knowledge
Tof contemporary sciences.
As a result of Dr. Yan Xin's research it has been shown that
the mind power or Qi emitted by a trained Qigong master can
influence or change the molecular structure of many test samples,
Sincluding those of DNA an RNA, even from 6 to 2,000 kilometers
Saway. It can even effect the half life of radioactive isotopes and
the polarization plane of a beam of light as emitted from a Helium-
Neon laser. His discoveries are changing the way modern science
ais viewed, and challenging many of its assumptions. Up to the
@present time he has published thirty six scientific papers in
acollaboration with other scientists. Some of the research results
"have already been put into use in industrial areas in China.
Approved For Release 2001/03/07 : CIA-RDP96-00792R000300430003-5
To satisfy great demand by people interested in Qigong and
"patients with difficult to cure diseases he has given hundreds of
"Qigong presentations (a special lecture with healing effects, that is,
gduring the lecture he emits Qi or energy to the audience). About
dorty books have been written about him and he has been the
subject of numerous videotapes. He does not receive money
personally for his work or presentations. Incomes for all these
activities are directed to charitable organizations or scientific
2
research.
For recognition of his outstanding contribution to American
society, the State Government of California conferred him an
honorary citizen. A college in Hawaii conferred him an honorary
M.D.degree. President George Bush met him several times and
praised him as " the contemporary sage ".
Dr. Yan Xin's most important contribution is that his research
work examines Qigong, a legacy of ancient Chinese culture, using
the tools and methods of modern science. The results are often
very surprising and challenging. His work may stimulate a new
revolution in modern science and contribute to the advancement of
human development. Some of the claims made about the effects
of Qigong may seem incredible, but efforts are under way now to
document and verify them scientifically. Modern science requires
an open mind when facing with new challenges. The secrecy that
has kept chinese Qigong out of the public eye for centuries is now
being broken. Chinese Qigong masters have decided that Qigong
does to just belong to the Chinese people, it belongs to all
mankind.
Qigong:
Qigong has about a 3,000 year history, with artifacts dating
back as far as 7,000 years. It is a system of physical, mental, and
philosophical training for cultivation moral and body strength,
exploring the latent ability of humans, prolonging life, and
developing human potential.

2) Chinese Superman
(The commentary of a chinese documentary film)
You may have heard an American movie called Superman.
This movie became so popular that the superman became a hero
in most people's hearts.
Superman has superpower, he appears whenever people
need him, extricates people from disasters and saves people's life.
In China today, Dr. Yan Xin is called superman because of his
unique medical technique and miraculous healing skills. Yan Xin
practiced Qigong and martial arts since he was very young; later
he went to medical schools to study both Western and traditional
Chinese medicine. He combines the techniques of Qigong, martial
arts, and Chinese medicine, and he is a very successful doctor. He
saves lives and starts scientific research on Qigong. As a Qigong
master, he does not succeed in each single case, and as a doctor,
he can not heal all of the patients. He is highly praised and, at the
· same time, he is criticized severely by some people who can not
understand Qigong. But Yan Xin is an ordinary human being like
us, he is not a super human. He is not an ideal hero as people
expected, but an ordinary human.
-
To understand more about Qigong and Yan Xin, we
followed Yan Xin to his hometown on the Eve of Chinese Spring
Festival of 1990. We wanted to find out the secret of our Qigong
master, to find out the root of his success.
Sichuan province has the largest population in China. Rich
in products, it is called the Palace in Heaven. Since ancient time,
there have been many famous and great people from there.
On March 18th, 1950, Yan Xin was born in a small
village called Dongan in Jiangyou County, Sichuan province. He
2 started to learn Qigong when he was very young. Later, he
learned martial arts and Chinese traditional medicine from more
than 20 masters and doctors. Mixing all the advantages of
different methods, Dr. Yan Xin creates some new methods.
4
Yan Xin grew up in his hometown and went to middle
school in the city of County. After graduating from middle
school he went back to his hometown during the "Cultural
Revolution" and worked as a traditional Chinese medicine doctor.
He started his college life in 1974 in Chengdu Chinese Medicine
College. After graduating he became a teacher in Mianyan
Chinese Medicine School. Later he moved to Chongqing Chinese
Medicine Institute, working as a doctor.
We arrived at Yan Xin's hometown in the middle of the
night, and we saw how his hometown people welcomed him. Our
crew members were blocked by them several times.
No matter how busy he is, Yan Xin always manages to go
back to his hometown each year on the Spring Festival. Qigong
fans and patients around the nation have noticed this, and
thousands of people go to Yan Xin's hometown each year at this
time from all over the country, waiting for him and hoping to be
healed by him.
The small unknown town was totally packed. People were
very excited and wanted to see him as soon as possible. Yan Xin
met everyone and shook hands with them one by one. And some
miracles may have happened while he was shaking hands with
people.
To benefit as many people as possible, Yan Xin creates a
mass healing lecture. This means that when he lectures or: the
principles and methods of Qigong, he emits Qi (energy) of
Qigong to the audience to excite the audience's potential energy
and form a bioelectrical field. Some patients who receive the
energy will have movements, such as waving and twisting, or
will make strange sounds like yelling, crying, laughing, and so
on. Through these reactions, diseases will be cured.
During the past few years, Yan Xin gave this kind of
lecture more than 200 times around the nation. The largest was
attended by more than 30,000 people.
Here in his hometown, the small hill is the best place to
give the lecture. Before the lecture, people had occupied the
whole place waiting for the lecture. For better results, Yan Xin

emphasizes a faith in Qigong, which does not mean a worship of
any Qigong master or a superstition, but means that patients
should have a good will and mood, and have confidence in
Qigong. That is the best cooporation with Qigong masters.
About 3,000 years ago, our ancestors proposed Qigong
theory (the original Qi theory), and said that everything on earth
is constructed by the original Qi. A human being is made of the
Qi and lives on the movement of the Qi. By adjusting the Qi,
people can keep healthy, and prolong life. This adjustment is
called Qigong. Some said Qigong is only a breathing exercise,
which sounds funny but is reasonable. The earliest English
translation of Qigong was breathing exercise. Later, people found
that breathing exercise could not describe the rich contents of
Qigong anymore.
Qigong is not only a method to heal, a method to keep
fitness, but also a new scientific area covering many fields. As
a method of healing, Qigong has miraculous effects on some
stange diseases. Qigong creates miracles in life. For example,
people who practice Qigong can stand the stroke of a hammer
weighing 12 pounds.
In a tomb excavation in 1973, an ancient picture was
found, which appeared to be a Qigong practice guide. It was the
most popular work in ancient time and was the oldest Qigong
article found so far.
Today among many Qigong masters, Yan Xin is the most
successful one. People pay him the highest respect for his good
medical skills and virtues. Yan Xin emphasizes scientific research
with Qigong. He has cooperated with scientists to research
Qigong since the early 1980s. He started a new era of Qigong.
During the past few years, Yan Xin traveled around the
nation, saved many peoples' lives, and especially, healed some
incurable patients. In his cooporation with some universities, he
obtained many unbelievable results in Qigong research. Modern
science can not explain his miraculous healing effects and
research results. People called this Qigong phenomenon the Yan
Xin phenomenon. To heal more patients, Yan Xin started his
mass healing lecture in Liaoning province, and then he gave this
kind of mass healing lecture in Beijing, Inner Mongolia,
Guangdong, an so on, more than 200 times. Millions of people
attended his lectures. The hottest tickets are not the tickets for
football games, concerts or fashion shows, but for Yan Xin's
healing lecture.
Mass healing lecture is one of the inexplicable Yan Xin
phenomena. Healing lecture means that when Yan Xin gives the
lecture, explaining the principles and practice methods of Qigong,
he also gives out his energy which will be received by some
sensitive people. These people will have different movements and
make different noise. Along with the lecture, some people laugh,
cry, yell, and some people hit themselves, dance, twist, and so on.
People said women are more sensitive than men, and
easier to have reactions to Qigong energy, but here in a lecture in
Goungdong, men had the same reactions.
Qigong, as a method of keeping health and fitness, has
more than a 3,000-year history in China. The curtain was rolled
up in the 80s of the 20th century and Qigong showed people its
wonderful pictures. Yan Xin is the most popular Qigong master
among others. During the past few years there arose a Yan Xin
fever throughout the nation.
Qigong attracts many patients, enthusiasts, and also many
scientists. Many inexplicable Yan Xin phenomena interest them.
Science accepts facts, Qi of Qigong exists objectively. Since the
middle 80s, Yan Xin has cooperated with several universities and
institutes, such as Qinghua University, Beijing University,
Zhongshan University, Zhongshan Medical University, the Higher
Energy Physics Institute of Chinese Academy of Sciences, etc ..
They studied the effects of Qigong on molecules, atoms, and
body healing, and they obtained surprising results.
In a 3,000-year Qigong history, Yan Xin is only a drop in .
the ocean. As he put it, he is only one of the finger tips of those
great Qigong masters. But just the 'finger tip' starts a Qigong
fever.
Qigong is neither superstition, nor miraculous medicine;

neither a monster, nor an ancient achievement in scientific
research. Qigong is Qigong; it is one part of Chinese traditional
culture. There is a great potential in Qigong research, but one
scientist's effort today may be only a stone on the road towards
the goal. Qigong research needs more devoted people, and that is
what Yan Xin is.

Dr. Yan Xin
What is Qigong?
Whoever wants to learn Qigong should first understand what
Qigong is. From reviewing the reference materials of ancient

related to modern social sciences and natural sciences. In a way,
we may call it an integrated course of diversified polytechnology.
It is the most advanced of all the advanced technical sciences of
the time. That is why we need to probe into the general concept
of Qigong, its implications, and its categories.
I. Training of the Body and Mind
Training of the body and mind is a special point common to all
types of Qigong, emphasizing the whole process of visionary
thinking, mental attitude, and understanding. In training the mind
or the heart, one can start with the Qigong drill both consciously
and unconsciously, and include twenty four hours of daily
activities. To cultivate of the mind. With some assiduous drills,
pone can naturally get the mind regulated. And through conscious
training one can succeed unconsciously. When the mind has been
purged, tempered, and cultivated to achieve discernment, the body
will automatically be regulated, improving the energy and
functions of body and mind.
II. Integrated Cultivation of Nature and Life
Such integrated cultivation of nature and lifes is an important
concept in Qigong, especially important in traditional Qigong. It
stresses the state of human life, the laws of human life and the
essence of human life. After wisdom has been exploited, one's
future will be better, and one's life will be of brilliant prospects.
III. Maintenance of Motion and Quiescence in the Body
Such a state can be found when people attend Qigong lectures.
Whether they are sitting or standing, they all look very quiet or
quiescent outwardly. However, inwardly, bioenergy is moving
incessantly, and is intensified in some people. Since there is
10
E
external bioenergy present and in motion in the hall, some in the
audience move their limbs spontaneously due to the enhanced
inner bioenergy. Outward limbs are in motion while the inner
mind is calm and serene. Actually, only when inner bioenergy is
in motion, is it strong enough to stimulate latent potential.
Therefore, any movements of the limbs are the effective results
of the bioenergy. As soon as the potentials are raised, the person
will be entirely delivered from his conflicting thoughts, moods,
and ideas. Consequently, peace of mind will occur. Though it
is not always the case, those who move their limbs during the
lecture show motion outside and quiescence inside, for there is
always a maintenance of motion and quiescence from beginning
to end in all Qigong practices.
IV. Integration of Thought, Bioenergy, Body, and Spirit
1. Bioenergy
The concept of true bioenergy in Qigong far exceeds that found
along the Channels and Collateral (JING LUO) and in the viscera
of the human body in the theory of acupuncture. This bioenergy
is energy with life hologram. It contains the special character of
the individual. This bioenergy may remain outside the body or
even lodge with all things on earth. It should be seen as a special
energy which carries the information of high energy substance.
It should also be seen as special substance, special energy, and
special information. It is said to be special in that there is no way
of knowing or explaining wholly, the concept of a common
substance, energy, and information. This bioenergy far surpasses
the common laws and terms of our modern sciences. Thus, our
approach to it should take into account the functions and ideals
of the individual. What one has in his mind, the nobility and
depth of his thinking, the mysticquality of his thoughts, will be
the precise character of one's bioenergy.
2. Body
The human body can sit quietly, stand quietly or lie quietly. It
11
Approved For Release 2001/03/07 : CIA-RDP96-00792R000300430003-5
Approved For Release 2001/03/07 : CIA-RDP96-00792R000300430003-5

can also move or be quiescent. It can be regulated by adjusting
the postures of the organs of the body, such as the tongue and
teeth, the internal movements of the viscera, etc. But this is not
the essential part of it. With Qigong, the form is integrated with
mind, bioenergy and spirit. This mainly means the regulating and
drilling of the body by the activity of the mind either consciously
or unconsciously. Furthermore, it mainly implies the regulation
of the body with bioenergy. It is not concerned only with the
personal form of the individual; it implies the regulation of the
human body with the form of the other living things in the
universe.
3. Spirit
The spirit is mainly referred to as the integrated state of the
integrated function, effect, and effective energy or the chain
reaction of the whole process in the integration of mind,
bioenergy, form, and spirit. This spirit is not the superstitious
deity but something that stands for material energy, function and
effect as well as the visible macrocosm, macrochanges, microbes
and microamount. In a certain sense, spirit in Qigong is said to
be something huge, an enormous concept which knows no bounds
or a very tiny concept unable to be perceived or photographed.
However, this spirit is supposed to be omnipresent and
ubiquitous. Whenever one practices Qigong, one's spirit is elated.
Everyone can clearly see an improved spirit, because after Qigong
practice, one is in good mood and in good health and feels
energetic towards all life, work, and studies.
By merging the mind, bioenergy, body, and spirit,we mean that
the merging reflects the methods of practicing Qigong and their
effects. The process involves the whole progress of practice. We
consider Qigong an ideal form of practice because it is suitable
for anyone regardless of age, sex, health or sickness. It is
particularly efficient for raising the immune system and for
enhancing the recovery of the convalescent. Consequently, it
increases longevity. Through Qigong practice, one can keep
oneself in good health, resist diseases and enjoy longevity. One
may break through the ordinary life span of eight to ninety, to
live to over one hundred. Thus, the ultimate goal of Qigong
practice is to live a very happy and healthy long life. Qigong is
the best regimen for promoting health and longevity.
V. The Various Abilities of Qigong Regimen
The four items mentioned above are common points in Qigong
while the following will be concerned with some technical
questions.
1. Art of preserving life
The preservation of life emphasizes preserving life with an
emphasis on therapy, rejuvenation, nutrition, and tone. It is
different from other regimens. Qigong can impart high energy to
one during Qigong practice. One can acquire energy from the
universe or rather acquire whatever energy the body needs.
Therefore, it is an ideal regimen. With Qigong practice, one can
absorb through skin pores the substance, energy, and message,
just like a medicinal dressing is absorbed by. The patient absorbs
the medicine through his skin and the symptoms, soreness, and
edema subside and the wound heals. This proves that human skin
can absorb substance. The reason for practicing Qigong is to
absorb the substance, energy and message through the skin of the
whole body as needed. Qigong is an ideal regimen for preserving
life and pursuing longevity.
2. Art of preserving Health
Preserving health in Qigong is different from other regimens,
which define health as the condition of feeling no illness nor
symptoms of illness. According to the requirements of Qigong,
one should not only be free from illness but should also have
potential tapped, and bodily functions enforced, because Qigong
can reduce the consumptive energy and increase the stored-up
energy of the body. Hence, one can diagnose and treat one's own

small complaints spontaneously so as to keep in constant active
health with relatively no illness. In this respect, there is no
comparable regimen.
3. Art of maintaining vigor and grace
Qigong emphasizes the beauty of the heart and spirit, reflecting
one's natural beauty. There is a common saying in China,
"Children never complain of their ugly looking mother." The
standard of beauty for a person in Qigong is the beauty of heart
and spirit. When one trains oneself to attain a high level and find
the beauty of heart and spirit, then one will be free from worry,
care, unnecessary burden, fear, terror, or arrogance, and will be
able to regulate the body and mind. This will bring,
spontaneously, a long and healthy life because it strengthens and
renews dysfunctioning body processes, and increases longevity by
stressing the cultivation of moral character. If eighty is only
childhood for Qigong masters, Qigong can only be considered the
most ideal art of maintaining beauty of the heart and spirit. That
is why many people are interested in doing Qigong to attain such
beauty of heart and spirit.
4. Art of prophylaxis
This is different from the ordinary preventive measures, such as
vaccines. Yet, there are some similarities. For example, when
one practices Qigong and when bioenergy is functioning in the
body, one may be able to react to diseases in other people. This
would be equivalent to a preventive inoculation with live vaccine.
Qigong practice will certainly raise the effect of one's immune
system and develop a higher quality of resistance against diseases
or other harmful viruses. This is not gained through other
prophylactic measures. Of course, acupuncture is a little similar
to Qigong, for it was initiated by Qigong. Its contents are those
of Qigong. Qigong prophylactic measures, are different from
other kinds of prophylaxis. Prophylactic measures of Qigong
have no side-effects nor contraindicative warnings. Modern
preventive measures give live vaccine to the patient in the hope
that through taking a bit of it the patient will build up resistance
against the disease. Qigong, however, tries to build up first one's
bodily strength by eliminating all that is harmful to one's health
and by supporting all that is beneficial. As is said in Chinese, "to
eradicate the evil and to support the good in the body." That is
what Qigong intentionally tries to achieve. It is a way of building
a strong, vigorous body. At the same time it tries to arrest the
thief by opening the door or by educating the burglar right on the
spot. When the body is strong, the pores of the whole body can
eliminate the germs and viruses out of the body, and at the same
time the pores can absorb true bioenergy as the body needs
without spending its own. Therefore, Qigong is an art of
prophylaxis.
5.Art of diagnosis
The ways of diagnosing diseases by Qigong are many:
(1) diagnosis by response,reaction, or interaction
(2) fluoroscopy with naked eyes
(3) remote diagnosis of an object or a message
(4) diagnosis of enlarged image from a message
(5) diagnosis of the enlarged image of the patient's viscera
from the message left on other objects
(6) diagnosis through the message from the patient's relatives
or through the remaining message
(7) diagnosis with light waves and sound waves
(8) diagnosis of direct palpation on the patient's acupuncture
points
(9) diagnosis from a remote place
The diagnosis from a remote place is more convenient and
economical for the patient than the modern diagnostic procedure
in the out-patient clinic or hospital which has a lot of red tape
and charges a small fortune. Besides, modern medical diagnosis
will cause side-effects. For instance, the patient may be harmed
by X-ray or isotope examination even before he is treated. With
Qigong, the diagnosis will always be objective and timely. It

Approved For Release 2001/03/07 : CIA-RDP96-00792R000300430003-5
always diagnoses early stages, as mentioned in the classics of old
Chinese traditional medicine, ( NEI JING --- Shang Gu Tian Zhen "
Lun). Qigong masters can diagnose future illness at asymptomatic
stages. However, our common method of diagnosis is just like a
jet plane making headway in the smog. As soon as one sees the
smog, the plane is already past it.
A patient is a living being and illness is a living thing,too.
When two living things stay together in one body, their
relationship and their mutual effectiveness can not be expected to
remain at the same stage. With Qigong, the diagnosis is based on
the reordering of composites. It is in unity with the length, width
and depth of space, and with the concept of time. Qigong
diagnosis usually allows the patient to see the illness and energize
healing right at that moment. That is why we say that Qigong is
the best art of diagnosis. Anyone who practices Qigong has the
potential to diagnose and treat illnesses automatically and
efficiently.
6. Art of therapy
Qigong is an ideal therapy for curing disease because with
practice one can regulate one's constitution to drive any diseases
away. Additionally, when one person practices Qigong, the
whole family will be benefitted. It may be that the radiation of
some light or the magnetic waves of electricity produce external
bioenergy for surrounding people, plants and animals, regulating
and improving the functional ability of their systems. Since
Qigong partitioners can help others overcome diseases through
their own practice, Qigong is an ideal art of therapy for curing
diseases. It is timely and effective without any side-effect.
While being treated, the patient becomes strong so as to enjoy
long life. It is ideal because while being treated, his energy will
be aroused and his functional ability improved. For example, a
daughter of a Chinese functionary in Liao Ning Province suffered
from a particularly incurable disease as diagnosed by a most
prestigious hospital in China. The final verdict in her medical
report was that she would live, at most, three more days. So, she
16
was discharged from the hospital, and her parents urged me to
treat her from a distance. I accepted their request. Home from
the hospital, her symptoms definitely showed conspicuous
improvement. At present, she is still living and is a very healthy
lady. This demonstrates that Qigong can play an effective role in
treating diseases, because the disease of that woman was
incurable, not one which could benefit from medical treatment.
Some people in receiving treatment from Qigong, improve both
their health and their latent functional abilities, enabling them to
serve society better.
7. Art of Longevity
The longevity brought about by Qigong may mainly mean the
effect of Qigong on the living substance of human body. Should
the nucleic acid molecules of the body be affected by Qigong, the
structure of their molecules may be changed, resulting in
longevity. This longevity will not be the long life of eighty,
ninety or one hundred, but may break through to two or three
hundred and may be far more than these numbers.
8.Art of exploiting wisdom
Qigong is different from other exercises in that it can improve
one's skill, activate one's latent energy, and arouse one's wisdom
so as to become wise. Whether one is in good health or not,
functional abilities improve after practicing Qigong.
9.Art of performances
Quite a number of people have attended lectures by Qigong
masters or wrestling performances by the martial artists, but it is
not easy for them to understand the skills of their performances.
Only those who have some fundamental knowledge of their skills
can learn some special techniques from watching the
performances. At the same time, they can also absorb some
bioenergy from the masters just like the bioenergy able to be
absorbed at our gathering today.
Qigong activities are different from other kinds of activities.
17
Approved For Release 2001/03/07 : CIA-RDP96-00792R000300430003-5

The real significance of Qigong does not appear on the surface
but exists in the internal absorption of the bioenergy emitted by
the master while giving his lecture or his technical performance.
Those who are watching the performance or those who are
listening to the lecture will more or less acquire considerable
effect from the external bioenergy. Some people have attended
several lectures in succession and they feel the more they attend,
the more they get interested in Qigong. Some are willing to pay
a high price for the ticket. For instance in Beijing, at first the
lectures drew only a few thousand but later there were a few
thousand inside the building and nearly a thousand outside the
building. They stayed outside even though it was raining hard.
Many had no rain outfits with them but that did not stop them
from doing Qigong in the rain. What other gatherings could
attract so many earnest and zealous attendants? Those outside the
building were unable to see or hear the speaker. How could they
keep up their interest? It was really incredible, but it was a fact.
-
In July,there were two lectures to be held in the Zhongshan
Music Hall near Tian An Men Square,and by the side of Zhong
Nan Hai. Nearly a thousand listening outside the building refused
to go away, so we had to put up loud speakers outside the
building for the second lecture. From this, we can conclude that
Qigong activity is different from other kinds of performances.
With Qigong, the speaker is not the main performer but the
audience who listen and watch the performance receive the
benefits. No other gatherings, sport meets, acrobatic shows,
musicals, song and dance ensembles, nor any conferences can
achieve results brought about by Qigong lectures. The attendants
of Qigong lectures have spontaneous movements during the
lecture showing their state of Qigong, and automatically get over
from some chronic diseases and become immune to other diseases
after the lecture. A great many people have had this experience,
among them, those who had not believed in Qigong and had
never practiced Qigong before they attended the lecture. Thus, we
can say that the master is peer teaching and the attendants are
peer learning in a Qigong lecture. The master and the students,
18
the speaker and the audience, the performer and the spectators are
all actors and spectators and all teachers and students.
From the above we can conclude that Qigong activity is
different from any other group activity. There are some other
special technical performances, but so far, no other performances
that can replace Qigong.
10. Art of detection of the unknown
Qigong can activate some latent functional ability such as seein
a far distant object, seeing floroscopically with the naked eye, and
transporting things with one's mind. If one has any extrasensor
perception, one will also have the ability to detect the unknown
These people will be an asseta to the country. I remember m
old masters told us about this matter. Do allow me to repeat
here.
Is there any one here who has ever taken things belonging to
others? If so, please return them to the owners as soon as yo
finish listening to this lecture, even if listening to a recording Q
this lecture. You can pay them back in full or at half the value,
then examine the effect of your Qigong practice for improved-
functional ability and for effects of curing your disease with
Qigong. It is necessary for a person who hopes to accept Qigong
lessons to make a major decision to correct his faults or guilt
while taking the lessons. Only through acknowledgement &
wrong doing and action to correct it, can one receive the rear
effects of Qigong to cure,that is to cure disease and enhance
functional ability. Try to do another experiment if you are no
willing to rectify your mistakes. However, do not regr&
afterward when something unwonted and unexpected happen to
you. My old Qigong Master stressed emphatically that one
cannot steal again after learning Qigong. If one still insists
stealing, he will meet with troubles.
Recently, the Qing Hua University students of biology and
have been doing some experiments on external bioenergy
Qigong. Our experiments are quite successful in changing the
structure of certain strata of a cell. We could change the structure
19
-
-Approved ForRelease:260 +/03/07- CIA-RDP96-60792R000300430003-5"

of a cell from a distance of 6-2000 KM by emitting external
bioenergy of Qigong.
If the nerve, memory and sensitivity cells in your cerebrum
have been effected by my bioenergy while you are listening to
my lecture, and if these cells analyzed and made a correct
judgment that you should rectify your life, what would you do
then? If you persist in stealing again, you will be doomed to
failure. The old place where you used to steal, No.25, may
instead become No.81, where the police station is. You will have
a guilty conscience and be too nervous to find the right place for
you are doing something against your own moral judgments.
Maybe, the police will be just at the spot when you start to steal
with hand-cuffs ready for you.
Sometimes, you could
unconsciously even lose control and tell what you have done to
people. I used to help detect some intricate cases for some time,
but not any more, because it was quite tense all the time.
Besides, I think the major purpose of Qigong should be to
preserve people's health. As for using Qigong to detect criminal
cases I prefer to let others take up the job. I only hope to provide
some living testimonies of Qigong in the capacity of a public
officer so as to restore the ages old fame and prestige of Qigong.
I am speaking today with the same purpose and intention. If
anyone is interested in training for detective work with Qigong,
listen to what I have just told you. I usually add energy to
whatever I am talking about. This is a problem of detecting the
unknown.
11. Art of prenatal education
Approved For Release a
Qigong is an ideal education for the fetus. Prenatal education
means education given to the fetus in the uterus by transmitting
message. Some people outside China believe that prenatal
education is the best method for eugenics. The couple, after
marriage, should pay special attention to the convictions of
Qigong by thinking virtuous and moral thoughts so that at the
growth of its cerebrum, the fetus can be transmitted a sense of
virtue by its mother. The child will be provided, while in the
uterus, with the genetic code of the sense of virtue which its
parents have cultivated with the practice of Qigong. In this way,
the second generation will grow up sound and healthy. In other
words, Qigong as an art of prenatal education, has played a
decisive role in laying the foundation of eugenic development of
the second generation. Qigong as an art of prenatal education is
very ideal.
VI. The Scientific Nature of Qigong
Qigong is an integrated course of polytechnology. It is directly
associated with the modern natural sciences. Qigong has
embodied a part of philosophy, ethics, etc. In social sciences
Qigong pays attention to historical realism. It always holds
Qigong masters in high esteem. Qigong also esteems filial piety
encouraging children to respect their parents and ancestors.
Qigong emphasizes the impact of genetic code apart from the
importance of anything inborn. In a word, Qigong attaches
importance to history.
Qigong advocates that a person must not do any evil through
out his life. If he should stealthily commit a sin, the sin will be
stored up as signal in his cerebrum. When he practices and gets
in touch with Qigong, the signal will become a hindrance to his
practice. This historical signal will be more real than the record
written with a pen. No false records can be made. Should there
" be falsehood, it would be recorded as false. Thus, the uniqueness
of Qigong is its emphasis on the importance of history. It pays
special attention to genuineness of facts. It holds against nihility,
void, and falsehood. All who practice Qigong will perceive that
after a period of time. Only those who get bioenergy can
transmit it and this will be evident to others. So those who have
true bioenergy will have success in whatever they do in their
laboratory experiments. Even though there are no instruments
available to detect the mysteries of Qigong, some modern
sciences have, in some degree, received the impact of the
external bioenergy of Qigong. For example, there are a few
21
20
Approved For Release 2001/03/07 : CIA-RDP96-00792R000300430003-5

Approved For Release 2001/03/07 : CIA-KDI 30-0073ZI
scientists who can use the external bioenergy to affect their
scientific instruments and scientific specimens. Qigong has a
foundation in matter as energy and message, except for more
advanced energy and message. The special trait of one's
character, especially in thinking and ideology is emboded in one's
Qigong matter.
Whatever one craves for, one will acquire in the end. For
instance, people thought of flying to outer space, and rockets
were invented. When they thought of entering the earth, tunnels
were built. The fantasy and imagination of earlier science fiction
novels can be seen today in real life.
In a word, with Qigong, even if the practicioner has only an
idea, it may lay a material foundation of thought in the cerebrum
of his brain. It is quite likely to be a form of brain activity, or it
may assume various forms. That is why Qigong emphasizes
history, and holds that there is a difference between congenital
and postnatal or inherent and acquired knowledge. Qigong
adopts different methods to meet the needs of different
participants. People are different in the nature, the psychological
intention, the surroundings and in the method of practice.
In Chinese traditional medicine, there is emphasis on
fundamental theories such as:
1) five elements: wood, fire, earth, metal and water, (using the
composition of the physical universe to explain the physiological
and pathological phenomena of the body)
2) five elements' motion and six kinds of weather, (analyzing
the motion of the five elements to interpret the relationship
between the weather changes and the development of diseases)
3) eight diagrams
4) Yin and Yang, (diagnosing and treating disease using the
physiological and pathological phenomena of the body).
These theories are very complicated and deal with lots of
mathematical formulas. For instance, one generates two, and two
generates three, and three generates all the things in the universe.
This is a mathematical formula. Using the common theory and
laws of Qigong clarified by mathematical formula, it is clear that
a common cold will be divided into over a billion types.
Therefore, one kind of remedy can not be applied to different
persons with the common cold. That is why the method of
treatment in Qigong is varied. For this reason, when one
practices Qigong, one should have in mind that it is quite
different from other disciplines. It is so unique that modern
sciences are unable to explain the achievements of Qigong nor
give it precise and suitable definition. However, Qigong stresses
adaptation, adaptation to life, to present living, to natural laws,
and to lengthening life. It is not at all mechanical or stereotyped.
From beginning to end, Qigong varies its treatment with person,
place, and time. Qigong is materialistic in all its activities though
it mobilizes the mind to induce movement in the body. The mind
only induces. With inducement, it stresses void, nihility,
selflessness during Qigong practice so as to bring quiescence and
peace of mind.
Substance or matter is not dead, but is almost hollow. For
example, it is like the high stratification of the nature of matter,
a concept in modern physics. Some people compare matter, or an
atom to a football field and its nucleus to a football. So there is
a large empty, almost hollow space in an atom, for the difference
in size between the nucleus and the atom is too enormous. This
comparison of an atom and its nucleus may make it easier to
understand the systematic theory of Qigong with its mystery.
VII. Qigong as a Diversified Course of Discipline
Qigong is concerned with mathematics, physics, chemistry,
geography, biology, literature, history, philosophy, etc. Some
participants become good at mathematical laws after practicing
Qigong. Some can solve problems faster than the computer, and
"others have successfully accomplished their laboratory research
work in physics, chemistry, biology, industry, agriculture,
geology, geography etc. The preliminary results of these
23

Approved For Relea
WAUX
ray, viviugy, mathematics, physics, chemistry,
literature, history, philosophy, etc. Therefore, we say that Qigong
is a diversified course of discipline.
VIII. Qigong Imparts High Technique of the High Techniques
High technique means the extra-sensory perception acquired by
some after receiving the bioenergy emitted by the master during
their practice. The achievements they accomplish usually can not
be obtained by other technical courses. Even the most advanced
nuclear magnetic resonance camera cannot take the photograph of
cancer at its early stage. An advanced astronomical telescope can
not be used to see planets in outerspace as well as the naked eye
of a Qigong participant who has acquired extra-sensory
perception. The most effective instrument for detecting the
unknown can not be compared with the acquired power of the
Qigong participant who sees long distance. These things are
related to high techniques. Therefore, quite a number of scientists
predict that the major scientific research in the 21st century will
be on the science of the human organism.
This has been a discussion about Qigong. To leam Qigong, one
should further understand the basic knowledge of the concept. It
will help one in doing more intensive practice later, for it will
remind one to pay attention to any signs of extra-sensory
perception appearing in one's own body after receiving bioenergy
from the universe, from the master or from the external bioenergy
in the large groups of Qigong lectures. Always try to raise one's
consciousness about one's advancement in Qigong, and try to
foster the growth of such extra-sensory perception. Never
mistake a good sign for a deviation in Qigong. For instance, one
may suddenly perceive red light which is a sign of fluoroscopic
power enabling one to see internal organs with the naked eye, but
mistake it for a hemorrhage in the fundus of the eyes. What a
terrible mistake! As a further example one may hear sound
which indicates sensitivity to infrasonic waves and is a sign of
power to hear the thinking of other people, but may mistakes it
for tinnitus, illness of the ear. What a mistake! Those who are
learning Qigong should pay close attention to widen the scope of
sight. One should have a macroscopic point of view and evaluate
the various effects of Qigong with more comprehensive standards.
You should treat different effects differently. Do not take the
spontaneous bodily movement as the only proper effect of Qigong
and do not feel that there is no effect when there are
spontaneous movements. Furthermore, do not just strive fer
movement nor quiescence. Do, instead, let things run the
natural course. This is what I mean by Qigong.
2) Ten Theories of Qigong
Dr. Yan Xin
1. Relaxation
Relaxation is a state of quiescence and harmony, relaxing
one's spirit, mind, emotions, inner and outer physical body.
Guided by Qigong, a totally relaxed person's metabolism rate and
energy consumption decreases, while stored energy increases.
Only in this state, can one's potential energy be tapped.
2. Regulation
Qigong emphasizes regulation of thoughts, breathing and
posture, to reduce the neural activity of the cerebral cortex and
increase subconscious awareness. Psysiological and biochemical
functions synchronize and reorganize when they are regulated.
24
25
Approved For Release 2001/03/07 : CIA-RDP96-00792R000300430603-5

This results in special function with special effects.
3. Inciting Bionergy
The body's potential energy can be incited with Qigong
instruction and inducement. Actually the high quality energy
substance of a master or of the environment serve as catalysts.
Everyone has high potential energy. For instance, a woman,
carrying a child, was walking on the street when a car suddenly
veered toward her. She immediately turned and jumped over the
street wall with her baby in her arms. Ordinarily, she would
never be able to do this.
This energy, possessed by everybody, is called the potential
energy of the subconscious. This energy may be incited by
Qigong and controled as extra-sensory perception. Everybody
has the foundation for extra-sensory perception. If one is willing
to learn Qigong, special potentials that have never been utilized
may be evoked to store special bioenergy for future needs.
4. Bioenergy in the Body's Biological Field
Everybody has biological electricity and biological
magnetism, so the body itself forms a biological field. In a
Qigong state, and with some mental suggestion, one can transmit
messages to distant places without transmitting sound waves
through electric, magnetic, electromagnetic, gravitational,
mesonic, or sound fields. Although, those fields are definitely
used by high energy physicists to transmit messages.
Prada .. um
In a Qigong state, the body's biological field is strengthened,
so one can transmit messages corresponding to radio or TV
transmission of sound waves. However, Qigong transmission
requires mutual psychological and physiological input of the
transmitter and the receiver, such as physician and patient,
master and apprentice, speaker and audience or Qigong
participant and Qigong participant.
-
In the treatment of disease, messages will be influenced by
26
the psychological and physiological factors of the family, too. If
a family is nonsupportive, and the illness is rather serious, it will
be difficult to transmit messages. Some Qigong masters can
diagnose and treat diseases at a distance, but the result will be
diminished by the noncooperation of the patient's family. Of?
course, the power transmitted by the master's external-energy haso
a lot to do with it, too.
The bioenergy transmitted by Qigong has a penetration-
property. No substantial screen can obstruct it. This is the
fundamental principle of bioenergy in the biological field.
5. Directional Movement of the Body's Biological Molecules!
and Electrons
Qigong appears to effect the directional movement of
electrons in the body's biological molecules. The directionals
movement of electrons induces a flow of particle movement,
thereby strengthening bioenergy. Consequently, the body'
biological condition is improved, health is strengthened and life
is lengthened. This is called the directional movement principle.
of the body's biological molecules and electrons.
6. Biological Entropy
Qigong can effect the body's biological entropy. (Entropy i
a measure of the unavailable energy or chaos in a thermodynamics
system.) Structured, effective use of energy decreases chaos,
while random, nonproductive use of energy increases chaos. Ana
increase in chaos is positive entropy. A movement toward non
chaos is negative entropy.
Here are some illustrating examples. Some children in
Inner Mongolia and also in Beijing can chew a card to pieces
then restore its original appearance with paste. Some see this as
negative entropy, or non-chaos, because the chewed pieces:
recovered their original shape.
When one is overtired, the cerebral cortex is overtensed, and
27
Approved For Release 2001/03/07 :"CIA-RDP96-00792R000300430003-5

the nervous system is dysfunctional. Biological molecules will
then be rather chaotic and may not conform to normal laws.
Influenced by Qigong, biological molecules will flow in one
direction, create non-chaos, increase negative entropy. Such an
ordered improvement harneses the molecules themselves for a
higher level of functioning. Such an effect cannot be gained by
any other means such as medication, nutrition, exercise, or rest.
7. Forming Plasma in a Biological Organism
With Qigong, some substances can rise to the fourth stage of
biological plasma, where positive ions equal negative ions or
protons equal electrons. Once the body substance attains this
state, the cells have increased storage capacity and enhanced
possibilities of compound substnace phenomena. This is the
compound reaction. When this occurs, another phenomenon
appears. The electronic plasma reverses process, indicating an
ion merges with another electron, inciting a titanium atom,
radiating a photon and releasing the remnant energy. That is, a
body radiates light.
Everybody emits photons all the time. (Based on this
fact, a camera for remnant information was introduced and used
to solve some intricate criminal cases. Usually, the criminal
leaves a remnant image, which can be photographed by a
sensitive, specially-made camera.)
A Qigong participant releases both light and bioenergy
externally. After practicing Qigong for a certain period of time,
a body radiates light. The light has been called a glow, a
radiance or a violet light in Chinese, a halo in English (such as
the halo of Buddha or Tao), and an aura in Japanese.
A human brain can flash various kinds of light and every
kind indicates some function. In general, red light indicates the
ability to see human internal organs with naked eye; blue, to see
through the ocean, plants and underground water; black, to see
coal and oil mines in the ground; yellow, to see copper and gold
in the mines; gray, to see outerspace stars. Everybody attains
different achievements because everybody is different in Qigong
experience and foundation.
A participant with advanced techniques can send off light and
retrieve it. The energy of this light is very high. It can
penetrate steel planks and lead cans, yet does not hurt humans,
for its only power is a thought. When this light is sent through
a patient's body, it returns a clear picture of the illness to the
sender.
High quality energy substance is used up in the process of
releasing energy. Bioenergy is reduced, equivalent to a drop in
blood count, and requires serious Qigong practice to replenish
The principle of the plasma of a substance states that the fourtie
stage of a substance can be stored and merged during Qigong
practice. This also explains how and why a Qigong participant
can flash light in his brain and gain the power of clairvoyance.8
8. The Principle of Automatic Control System
A human body has an automatic control system, where, for.
example, the human heart regulates itself automaticaly. Qigong
can strengthen this system. Qigong practice strengthens the
mutual effectiveness of two substances, the chemical signals o
the body and the structure of the receptor cell. When both
sending and receiving improve, the sensitivity of the received
signals is stronger. This strengthening enhances biochemical
reactions in the body.
With physiological and biochemical effects enhanced, the
human body will regulate its vital functions and rectify il-
pathology. Body sensitivity in receiving chemical signals is nop
limited to medicine, tastes, or sounds. A Qigong master said that
without seeing or hearing, one can sense a mosquito flying or
flea jumping on the floor. One just feels and senses theig
presence. Of course not everybody has such a knack.
9. Biological Order and Orderliness
28
29
Approved For Release 2001/03/07 : CIA-RDP96-00792R000300430003-5

Biological order can reach its highest regulation with
Qigong. The three main aspects of biological order are the order
of structure of space, of time and of function.
Order of space:
Spatial structure is the structure of biological molecules,
electrons, and human cell tissues in their geometrical positions
within the body's space. Definite laws and orders arrange these
structures. But, when a person faces complicated problems and
suffers from fatigue and stress-induced illness, these structures
fall into disarray and chaos, induced mostly by mere unfavorable
changes in weather or atmospheric pressure.
When allowed to rest, one readjusts eventually, but such a
process is usually very slow. However, when influenced by
Qigong, structural arrangement can easily be regulated to redirect
the disarray to a more orderly state. This happens so fast that
intermediate stages are not even noticed. Thus, some call
Qigong an ideal energy, for there is no other way nor medicine
that adjusts the arrangement of these structures so quickly and
successfully.
Time structure is the biological clock. Everybody has a
biological clock just like the rooster which crows at dawn.
Everyone has a living rhythm every day. This daily biorhythm
is usually a twenty-four-hour time period. Usually during some
hours of a day one is sensitive and active, and during others,
listless and passive. Because of this, Chinese traditional
medicine adopts the meridian, or midday, as the time for
medication, acupuncture, etc. and finds the effect much more
pronounced.
Approved For nelou
In a lifetime, one has many great events in the biological
clock, for instance, there are nine months of pregnancy and a day
for giving birth.
Everyone progresses through infancy,
childhood, adolescence, adulthood, middle-age and old-age. A
girl starts her period around her early teens, and stops in middle
age. Changes in life follow an order of time. That is the
function of the biological clock.
The biological clock is closely related to the order of the
body's biological structure.
Therefore, among other
considerations, medicine is given at the right time, and in th
right dosage. In 1959, reports and data from France confirme?
that medicine taken at noon, the time for meditationg
acupuncture, etc., brought better result for a heart disease
patient.
Those who practice Qigong know how to regulate the
progress of the biological clock, in a way similar to adjusting
clock's rhythm. To illustrate through a simile; flying to a city
takes several hours while walking to the same city takes several
weeks. The one who practices Qigong takes the plane, while thew
one who does not practice goes on foot. Everyone can effecto.
one's own biological clock, and practice Qigong to win long life.
There are other examples of an adjustment to a biological
clock. Some who practice Qigong at night because of the
external peace, find that dawn comes before they know it, for
time seems to pass so quickly. To us, Master Damou faced the
monastery wall for nine years in meditation, but not to him.
Master HaiDeng, never laid down to sleep for sixty years. Many
Taoist masters did not sleep for dozens of years.
Order of function:
A great variety of functions can only be tapped through
regulation and readjustment. Modern medical theory believes
that physiological and pathological changes are activated
psychologically, or that a bad mood affects physiological
function. The physiological function then changes in quantity and
quality, and finally in pathology. Therefore, a modern Western
physician always emphasizes the psychological effect in patient
treatment.
Qigong regulates the order of function in three processes.
The processes are: first, to agree fully to treatment; second, to
rectify physiological function; and, third, to improve positive
psychological reactions. The overall goal is similar to an
30
31
Approved For Release 2001/03/07 : CIA-RDP96-00792R000300430603-5.

accurately tuned circuit or a synchronized resonance. That is
why, first, regulation must agree with intent. If the purpose is
in harmony, then, the second process, rectifying physiology and
changing pathology, will follow. The third process, improving
psychological reaction, will be easier after achieving the first two
processes.
You do not have to worry about how and when the master
will treat you. You just do as you are told and after a period of
treatment, the master may ask, "How do you feel?" When you
say you feel well, you get up and walk. It is then that you have
reached the third process, improving your psychological reaction.
For example, I treated an old lady who had recent
compression fractures of her twelfth sternum and first lumbar.
The doctor told her to lie in bed for six months. However, at the
same time, she heard of my coming and came to see me. Her
clinical doctor showed me her Xray and I looked at it without
saying a word. I told the doctor I wanted to make a phone call,
and left the room. In fact, I just wanted time to emit my
bioenergy and transmit it to her from a distance.
I had told the doctor to keep her company for a while and to
tell her that I did not have any routine procedures for treating a
patient. He explained that I would treat her by just chatting with
her, but that I hoped she would give the right answers to my
questions, for a wrong and ominous answer may hinder
treatment.
On entering the room, I pretended to not know of
her illness and asked the old lady casually, "We are going to the
Great Wall for a hike, are you coming with us?" She was very
alert and responded right away. "Yes!" she said. "Stand up
then," I said, "and stretch your legs." She stood up right away
and said, "Aha, good!" Everybody went downstairs, including
her, and we climbed the Great Wall that day. She climbed up to
the top and felt excited and happy, for she could make any
movement she liked.
Let us analyze how the whole thing
was regulated. First, she came to have me treat her, and I did
not need to tell her how I was going to treat her. Second, she
did not know anything about regulating her physiological function
1
and pathological changes. Third, her psychological reaction was
positive. When I asked her whether she was coming with us to
the Great Wall, her answer was "Yes!" The answer indicated
that she must have considered first whether she dared or dared
not go, or she could or could not go, before she made the
positive answer.
Qigong differs from modern medicine in patient treatment.
In accord with the process of regulation, the patient learns every
detail of the treatment to get prepared. The changes come later
and only with conscious cooperation. Therefore, Qigong is very
particular, for it reverses the process of treatment. Only in the
end, as the patient comes to realize and accept the process, will
recovery reflect on the patient at once.
Here is another example. A technician, Mr. Liu Tie Gang,
came to our hospital for his diabetes. When I first saw him, I
said, "Diabetes is not serious enough to require a stay in the
hospital." He made no response. Because he didn't respond, I
had to make him go home faster by telling him to drink three
pints of milk with sugar at one gulp. He still made no response
but rolled his eyes. He must have questioned how a diabetic
patient could take so much milk with sugar, and at one gulp,
without causing problems. Since he still made no response, I
told him to take the milk for six days. Just then he answered, "
I'll do as you say!"
That same night his urine test was a positive three. At
twelve midnight, he drank three pints of milk prepared for him
with sugar. In the morning of the following day, his urine text
was normal. His two diabetic roommates also had normal urine
tests. The condition of four other roommates had improved.
Some people may ask, " How can milk cure diabetes?" In fact,
when the milk was being drunk, it was not milk any more. Our
recent experiments have proven that bioenergy emitted from afar
can change the molecular structure of a liquid.
Another patient, Master Sung Dian-chang, broke the talus of
his right ankle in a work accident. The bone died (became
necrotic) due to insufficient blood supply (ischaemia) for four
33
32
Approved For Release 2001/03/07 : CIA-RDP96-00792R000300430003-5

years and one month. I treated him on June 1, 1987. I saw him
for a few minutes, then left after giving him a basin of water to
wash his feet.
I told him that I would be gone for a while. Everyone
thought I went to the bathroom. (So that people will not think
that a cure is due to psychological factors, I treat patients by
going away to emit my bioenergy and transmit it to the patient.)
I returned about three hours later, and they all thought I must
have met some thieves.
The patient normally would not sit up more than ten
minutes, for his lower body and legs were in pain, but for this
treatment he sat for three hours with his feet in the basin. He
didn't think I had been held up by thieves. This is the crucial
point in the cure of his illness. In Qigong, the patient's
cooperation with the master is the most important element. The
only thing I expect from patients is that their main objective be
a sincere desire for me to treat their illness.
When I saw him again, I said, "I have treated your disease
already!" He responded quickly, "I thought so." Then I asked
him, "How are you feeling now?" He answered immediately, "I
feel I am all right." My abruptness was not meant to induce him
to flatter or lie, but to stimulate a response without
contemplation, a subconscious response, which is more similar
to a Qigong state. He continued, "I never sat longer than ten
minutes before, but I have been sitting for a long time and feel
quite well." Then I said, "Since you said you are well, now you
must put on your shoes and walk."
He did as he was told and walked for an hour and a half.
When he returned, everybody tried to pity him and asked him to
sit and rest. This disturbed my treatment process, and I had to
make him walk for a second time for an hour and to jog at the
same time. Two of the audience went with him, carrying two
cameras to take pictures of his jogging and running down the.
steps. He went to work the following day. At present, his legs
are still in good shape.
This is quite a typical case, that is, it was regulated in the
order of function. Purpose must be first, because a patient must
truly want to be rid of the disease. Changes in physiology should
be second. An improvement in psychological reaction should be
third. When one is learning Qigong, the process is the same.
Don't be upset when there is no reaction. Reaction is something
very subtle. As soon as there is a reaction, there is a change
reshaping.
The above discusses the three processes of the regulation
of the order of function. This is the principle of the biological
order and orderliness.
10. Coupling Circuit of Electromagnet
6 00792R000309430903
Qigong can influence the DNA molecules of the body's
electromagnetic field to resonate. Everyone has giant nuchic
acid molecules, DNA. Qigong can effect these substances and
cause them to resonate in the whole body of one person or also
to resonate between persons. In this lecture hall, anyone entering
a Qigong state will resonate with my lecture and will agree {be
in harmony) with the example I mention. When resonating, one
acquires some effects. This is called the coupling effect.
Some observe that while effected by Qigong, external
bioenergy causes electromagnetic coupling of tiny molecules
which transform into energy, causing two, three or more people
to be resonate with one another. It is as if one small feld
couples with others to form a very large field. Some say the
large field is good, and others say it is not so good. ICall
depends on whether one resonates in harmony with the field
Once, a woman in Harbin, China, brought a blind chil to
the Qigong lecture. At first she could not get a ticket, but fillally
the ushers allowed her in anyway, so she could stand and atgend
the lecture. She brought the child a second time to agend
another of my lectures. After she got home from the second
lecture, one of the child's eyes gained sight and the other vas
much improved. The woman was overwhelmed with joy.
How could she get such an effective result? The woman and
34
35

her child were ardent and earnest in attending the lectures and
stood for hours with their hands clasped in front of their lower
abdomens with no complaint, not just once, but twice.
Some just sit at lectures, listening without hearing, and
allowing their minds to wander away. The position of the hands
is necessary to receive symbols and strengthen the magnetic field.
However, some people just will not do what they are told and do
whatever they please with their hands. How can they expect to
receive any symbols? They are in no way synchronous with the
speaker, nor are they positioned to receive strong resonance
needed to produce strong energy.
Only when the magnetic fields of the master and the
audience are synchronous, can one hope for effective results, for
only then can powerful bioenergy enter one's body. Therefore,
it is important in Qigong treatment for both sides, speaker and
audience, to be in agreement in every respect.
In ancient times, we said, "Belief brings effect,' which is
not at all scientific, and implies a bit of superstition. Now we
say, "Agree with treatment and resonate in harmony." When
active elements of both combine, good effects will follow.
The above information is summarized from my past
experience. In my opinion, Qigong has ten fundamental
principles, ten functional mechanisms, and seven or eight theories
of essence or nature. These are only my personal deductions
from my work, and are references for further study and
discussion, because they are not established yet.
36
3) The Seven Hypotheses
of the Essence or Nature of Qigong
Dr. Xin Yan
Qigong exists as a multi-form substance, message, energy
etc. It has been discovered that it has characteristics of life,
integrated wholeness, movement, composition, and goal
directedness. It is bidirectional, exceeds distance, and has
qualities of depth similar to a hologram. The so-called seven
theories of the nature of Qigong are in reality, the theories of
optics, bioenergy, APT function, the integral and central theory
of the nervous, lymphatic and endocrine systems, the theory of
living cells, the theory of attraction of the electron and the theory
of life message.
1. Optics
This theory states that when one enters the Qigong state, the
body may produce and release photons, and therefore the body
will radiate light. There are more than 30 regions in the body
that may radiate light. Of course, the light, called halo in
English and aura in Japanese, is invisible to an ordinary human
eye. After practicing Qigong, one is able to release light
photons. The halo of Buddha is an illustration of photons
released by the Qigong participant.
2. Bioenergy
Qigong practice trains the body's living substances in order
to strengthen their activation to higher qualities. Outer forms of
the high energy substance emitted by a Qigong participant
represent various functions of the human body.
-
Approved For Release 2001/03/07 : CIA-RDP96-00792R000300430003-5
37

3. A.T.P. Function
This is very closely related to medicine. When one practices
Qigong, decomposition of the body's A.P.T. is enhanced beyond
that of a normal person. Therefore a lot of energy can be
emitted for all kinds of bodily functions.
4. The Integral and Central Theory of the Nervous,
Lymphatic and Endocrine Systems
The essence or nature of Qigong is thought to reside in
nerves and lymphatic endocrine. The power to regulate the body
is in the mind.
5. Living Cells
Qigong practice can increase cells with high energy
movement and can strengthen each cell at its level. The theory
of living cells seems to comply with concepts of bioenergy in
Qigong, in Chinese traditional medicine, and in Yin and Yang.
The protoplasm of a living cell is thought to belong to the
nuclear
Yang, while the nucleo-protoplasm in the nucleus
belongs to Yin. The nucleolus belongs to Yang while the nuclear
fluid, Yin. In observing, analyzing and studying Qigong, we can
see that Qigong can activate functions of living cells, even at the
molecular level of fundamental particles. Qigong integrates and
balances, and thereby strengthens the vitality and integral whole
of various functions.
6. Attraction and Attachment of the Electron
Qigong practice is thought to put the cerebral cortex in a
highly protected, suppressed state. In this state, Qigong
excitement points will be aroused in cells at deeper layers of the
cerebrum. These points are aroused by encephalo-electric
currents and cause encephalo-electric excitements. Since these
points are not routinely aroused, the path of encephalo-electric
current will connect suddenly to the point, and discharge a very
powerful electric current in the brain.
This current will affect all sensitive body parts, cause
protein collagen in the lymphatic fluids to flow in micro-particle
electric currents, and produce electric current and
electromagnetic gravitation or attraction. Furthermore, the
micro-particle currents of collagen can recompose and release
more electric current. That is why a Qigong participant has
spontaneous movement when doing Qigong or when meditating.
Therefore, spontaneous movement is activated at points
deep in the brain, the brain's response causes the movement to
become stronger and stronger. The main reason for this lies with
electric currents and the attraction and attachment of the
electromagnetic field. Under these conditions, biomolecules have
directional rather than chaotic movement of electrons. This
promotes micro-particle electric currents, and further movement.
Thus, a Qigong participant can feel sore, numb, hurt,
cold, cool, warm, hot, floating, sinking, big, small, dizzy, etc.
The directional movement of electrons is automatic and goes on
subconsciously. The electrons flow to the body's deranged cells
and cause cell reorganization and thereby effect a cure. This
current plays an important role in Qigong therapy.
7. Nature of Life Message
With the help of scientific research, we have observed
Qigong's external bioenergy and have learned that it has infrared
waves, which are regulated and controlled by low frequency,
expansion and shrinkage, static electricity message collection,
low frequency magnetic symbols, micro-particle currents, and by
bioplasmatic rays. However, these do not represent the integral
nature of external bioenergy.
For instance, we say external bioenergy is an

!
electromagnetic wave but it penetrates static screens which
electromagnetic waves cannot. So, external bioenergy is not a
purely electromagnetic wave. Someone observed that external
bioenergy emitted by a Qigong master is similar to a neutrino
effection or something like the neutrino, because a neutrino
penetrates any obstacle such as a static screen.
This would explain why Qigong is beyond the bounds of
distance. Otherwise, how can a Qigong master, unable to
physically touch a substance, change its appearance from a
distance? This fact has been proven by high energy physics.
The nature of external bioenergy is substantial. Someone has
also observed that the external bioenergy emitted by the Qigong
master consists of carriers of life message. This is the substantial
foundation of the external bioenergy.
4) The Ten Observable Attributes of Qigong
Dr. Xin Yan
Whether from China or abroad, the data from Qigong
experimental research demonstrates Qigong's positive effect in
treating diseases. Qigong not only cures patients, but also spurs
extrasensory perception. These Qigong attributes have been
somehow established as true. However, what are the theories or
principles? Are there no demonstatable proofs? At present, we
still have no clear answer. People in China and abroad are still
probing into this. I wonder if the following attributes are calling
for greater probing.
Qigong ideally improves:
regulation of the nervous system.
regulation of the circulatory system.
respiration.
40
regulation of the digestive system.
function of the endocrine glands.
Qigong can:
effect changes in muscular and skeletal systems.
regulate the temperature of the skin and the body.
regulate the electric potential of the skin, and
change the resistance of the body.
improve the immunity of the body.
cause release and transfer of bioenergy so as to
change characteristics of the living organism.
The ten points above are the observable attributes of
Qigong.
1. How to ideally improve the regulation of the nervousto
system
An ordinary person has 14-15 billion brain cells, but
usually uses 3-4% and rarely over 30% of these cells. Some feel
that memory fails after a certain age, but even until death, an
ordinary person has not made full use of 80-90% of his brains
cells. How then can we exploit untouched brain cells, use thenf?
fully, and let them play the role they should in our life ?.
Someone has observed and discovered that, in a Qigong state
excited nerve cells are in deeper layers of the brain.
When these deep cells are excited, strong encephalo-4?
bioelectric currents will eventually form. This strong current, ind
turn, affects the body region on which the participants
concentrate while doing Qigong. At that time, bioelectricity i
these regions will be enhanced. The region's body functions will
be somewhat altered, in that the body fluid's protein collagen wilo
recompose, or micro-particles will rearrange.
After the region's bioelectric current lines up micros
particles with the body fluid's protein collagen, the collagen wils
carry electric current. In this way, the encephalo-bioelectricity
is increased and encephalo-cells activated. That means that the
41
"Approved For Release 2001/03/07": CIA-RDP96-00792R000300430003-5

nerve cells of the deep layers of the brain will release more
energy through the influence of Qigong practice. In other words,
Qigong practice activates the unused 80-90% of our brain cells
by strengthening the encephalo-bioelectric currents.
After this activation, various functional abilities come into
being. Some call this Wisdom and Knowledge Qigong, or Art
of Cultivating Knowledge. Qigong practice usually helps
students get good grades and researchers achieve success.
Using an encephalogram, someone measured whether
adults and elders rejuvenate the frequency response of their youth
after practicing Qigong. When adults and elders enter the
Qigong state, the encephalogram's crest value ordinarily rises,
while it's frequency is slowed. These are characteristics of
children's encephalograms.
We consider this a very important discovery. Although
one's encephalogram may improve with rest or athletic activity,
it can never be improved to the level of a child. Consequently,
we say that Qigong is an ideal practice for cultivating mental
potential.
Qigong can also slow down or regulate the activities of the
sympathetic nervous systems. Because of this, the functions of
cerebral and spinal column nerves are better regulated and
improved. Thus, patients with neurasthenia and psycho-
functional disease, including psychosis and schizophrenia, will
greatly improve their condition by practicing Qigong.
Experiments indicate that the range of encephalic waves is
lessened, and the micro-circulation in the forehead is apparently
enhanced. Therefore, functions of the frontal lobe of the
cerebrum are improved. Some think that the biological support
for extrasensory perception lies in the frontal lobe, but very few
of us know for sure about the function of this frontal lobe in the
forehead.
Experiments on children who have extrasensory
perception, indicate that characters or images, hidden on a piece
of folded paper, are usually seen on a small square screen-like
space in their forehead. Powers of fluoroscoping, clairvoyance,
and transporting objects with the mind are thought to be based on
the special functions of the frontal lobe.
Studies of people in Qigong state show that their cerebral
cortex calms to a condition of very protected suppression. In a
normal condition, the cerebral cortex remains in this suppression
for at most 14-15 minutes in 24 hours. This means that although
one sleeps every day, the cerebral cortex rests only 14-15 minutes,
and most sleeping time will be a dream state. Only through
Qigong practice can one prolong cerebral cortex resting time.
That is why Master Hai Deng did not sleep for 60 years, yet
remained physically strong.
Doing Qigong evidently improves micro-circulation of the
cerebrum and this can not be obtained through any other kind of
practice. The brain's deeply layered cerebral cells are enriched
with sufficient blood by doing Qigong. As mentioned above,
bioelectric currents will be strengthened, and relevant functions
of the cerebral nervous system will be activated, regulated, and
improved. Once again, we say that Qigong is an ideal practice
for activating bioenergy in the cerebrum and stimulating relevant
functions to cultivate mental potential.
2. An Ideal Practice for Improving and Regulating the S
Circulatory System
Someone observed that a person in the Qigong state
automatically regulates his blood supply. When at rest, need for
blood will be small because the heart is also at rest. When any
part of the body is in need of blood, more blood is supplied.
However, ordinary Qigong participants can hardly achieve this
level.

-----
Qigong can also change the reaction of the blood vessels and
make them very sensitive. When the heart contracts, the vessels
dilate and when the heart dilates the vessels contract. In this
way, vessel elasticity will not be weakened with age, and one
will not have coronary disease, arterial sclerosis, or apoplexy at
an early age. Someone also discovered that Qigong practice
43
42

improves micro-circulation of the whole body, which is very
effective for keeping a good figure and a good shape.
A Qigong master's presence while one is in a Qigong state
will apparently elevate red blood cell count. Once the Guang
Ming newspaper reported, "Qigong is not unscientific."
It
described an experiment done in Jejiang city, China, on changes
in blood count after the master emitted bioenergy and the patient
received it in a Qigong state. The result showed that the
patient's red blood cells rose and kept on rising, while the
master's red blood cells decreased and kept on decreasing.
What caused this? The analysis said that the master
emitted quite powerful bioenergy to activate the blood-generating
system of the patient's bone marrow and speed up this function.
That was why the patient's blood count kept rising, while the
Qigong master's blood count was decreasing. He could only
keep up his blood count through constant Qigong practice.
Here is another experiment done in Shanghai. The Research
Institute for Hypertension in Shanghai had a report on 100 cases
of hypertension patients. The patients were told to sit in
meditation and then check the effect. After five minutes of
meditation, the blood pressure began to drop. After twenty
minutes, the patient felt that the pressure was the same as it
would normally be three hours post medication. Ninety seven
cases were completely cured and three relapsed. Many
hypertension patients are cured by Qigong.
Once a female army physician suffered from high blood
pressure of 178/98, and her daughter asked me to treat her
mother's hypertension. I took her watch and went to the sink to
get a glass of tap water, and asked her, "Do you dare to drink
this glass of water?" "Of course I do," she said, and took the
glass from me and drank it. As soon as she finished drinking, I
told her to run home and take her mother's blood pressure. Soon
she called and told me that her mother's pressure had dropped to
a normal 120/80, from 178/98. Her head-ache was gone, too.
Their home was then 200 meters from mine and I calculated that
the treatment time was about 15 minutes, indicating that Qigong
cures hypertension and does it fast. Qigong can also drop one's
blood pressure as low as a state of shock.
Once, a Chong Ching city secretary sent a group to
investigate my typical Qigong patient treatment at the Chong
Ching's Research Institute of the Chinese Traditional Medicine.
They had been writing about my miraculous treatments. Some
called me an elf-like physician. This group was to investigate
my distant diagnosis and distant fluoroscope, in particular.
Finally, they asked me to illustrate distant control.
Mr. Chen Yun Jong, a demobilized soldier, who was
then working in the City Health Bureau, offered to receive the
remote control from me for the experiment. I told him I might
hurt him, but he said he was not afraid. " We have already
investigated you, and all the things we heard about you are true.
However, people say you can exercise remote control over
patients, and, since I don't believe it, do let me try," he said
earnestly.
I made him stay in the inner room and I stayed in the front
room. I told him to stand at the window watching the Yang Zhi
river with nothing in mind. After a while, I asked him from my
room, "Any reaction?" He was ready to passout, but still
pretended that he was all right and said, "Nothing!" Then I said,
"Good!" As soon as I finished speaking, he shouted, "Awful,
wait a moment!"
He fell on the floor in coma. He was
soaked with sweat; his face was pale; his pulse was too weak
to be felt; and he had almost no breathing, because stimulants in
the blood were decreasing, causing a sharp drop in blood
pressure.
Some investigators observed that after practicing Qigong,
one's blood corticosteroid rises while beta-estradiol drops. This
condition prevents aging, and also causes a drop in blood sugar.
That is why diabetic patients who attend a Qigong lecture and
later consult with the master, achieve normal sugar content in the
blood and urine.
They also discover that those who attend Qigong lectures and
meet with the master will have trace elements in their body

· regulated and improved. Some experiments have been done on
aging which specially note that longevity has nothing to do with
. one's nutrition or blood components. The proportion of
erythrocytes, leukocytes, and hemoglobin remains practically the
same between young and old.
The old do have less trace elements than the young. This
indicates that trace elements are more closely related to length of
life. Among the 14 trace elements in the human body, zinc is
the most essential. According to some experiments, after
attending the lecture, and consulting with the master about the
illness, a patient's zinc level clearly increases.
Zinc has something to do with the activation of 80
enzymes in the body. Enzymes play an important role in the
body's biochemical and physiological processes. In fact,
increased zinc not only prolongs life, but also improves the
function of the 80 enzymes. So we say that Qigong practice
promotes health, nutrition, and effective treatment for illness
through the improvement of the 80 enzymes.
Experiments also show decreased dopamine and beta-
hydroxylase blood levels after Qigong practice. Other
components are modified. Therefore, some say Qigong treats
blood and circulatory system illnesses.
3. How to Improve the Function of the Respiratory Systems
After entering a Qigong state, consumption of oxygen
decreases but the lung's absorption of oxygen increases. The
storage capacity and efficiency of lung tissue is enhanced. In this
regard, Qigong is much better than athletic training. A long
distance runner, for example, extends the vital capacity of his
lungs, but consumption of oxygen is just as extensive, so he can
not stay underwater too long. However, one trained in the
advanced Qigong specialty of enhancing the lung's vital capacity,
can remain underwater for many hours.
Some masters, buried in a coffin for 6-7 days, could still
stay alive. To an ordinary person whose lung vital capacity is so
limited, this seems impossible. It can only be explained in the
light of Qigong theories. In the Qigong state, one does not seem
to need so much oxygen. On one hand, Qigong increases
inhaling efficiency and expands the storage capacity of the entire
lung tissue. On the other hand, Qigong decreases the
consumption of oxygen. Chinese Traditional Medicine said it
well, "The blood flow of the whole body converges in the
lungs."
Anyone who practices Qigong knows that one does not
have to have fresh air to practice Qigong. Some masters practice
in small smoke filled caves, which, therefore, lack oxygen. The
point is that they don't need much oxygen when they are in the
Qigong state. This is both reasonable and true to fact.
Not long ago, I treated an oxygen-dependent patient, who
could not go without oxygen. When I first talked to him, he was
so excited that in the middle of the conversation, he pulled the
oxygen tube out of his nostril, and has never used it since.
Later, I explained to him, "As soon as I saw you, I emitted my
bioenergy to you in order to make you consume less and breathe
in more oxygen. In fact, there is a large amount of oxygen in
the air, more than in your tank. Even with your oxygen tube in
your nostril, if you do not inhale efficiently, it makes no
difference how much oxygen you have in your tank. Don't you
think so?"
The year before last, I rescued a scientist who had a similar,
serious case. He also had been on oxygen therapy a long time.
I said one day, "You had better not use the oxygen anymore!"
He did give it up later and seemed to be more high spirited
without it. There lies the mystery. To improve and regulate the
respiratory system through Qigong practice, is really ideal!
4. How to Improve and Regulate the Function of the Digestive
System
Qigong regulates the digestive system, first, by effecting an
increase in the secretion of saliva, peptic juice and enterokinase.

:
.
Second, Qigong effects an increase in stomach and intestine
peristalsis, thereby augmenting chemical and mechanical
digestion.
Qigong practicers have a greater percentage of
saliva lysozyme, which can inhibit and destroy bacteria. This
is like being equipped with automatic antibiotics to cure oral
infection, laryngitis, gastro-enteritis etc. However, it does not
have the sideeffects of antibiotics like tetramycin, terramycin and
auramycin.
A Qigong participant's saliva also has a lot of amylase,
protein and trace elements. That is why this saliva is called
'golden juice' and 'jade fluid'. Therefore, after Qigong practice,
use the tongue to wash the mouth with this saliva, and don't spit
it out. Some gargle with it for 36 times, bite the upper and
lower teeth 36 times, and stir the saliva around with the tongue
in the mouth 36 times, etc., before swallowing it.
When in the Qigong state, stomach and intestine secretion
increases yet pH is automatically regulated. One may question
whether the stomach's gastric mucous membrane is eroded by the
increased amount and concentration of gastric juice and gastric
acid, and whether it induces gastritis. However, those with
gastritis and duodenum ulcers don't have to worry, for the
increased gastric juice is just improves the pH.
Also supposedly very nutritive substances have been
found, only in the stomachs of those doing Qigong. Some eat
less or do not feel like eating at all after practicing Qigong,
because these substances are nourishing, and also because
participants make full use of stored energy to keep themselves
alive. A few even refuse water, for water can be absorbed
through the pores of the skin.
One may question how a person lives without food. First,
the gastric and intestinal fluid of the Qigong participant contain
more nutrients. Second, usually everyone has nutrition stored in
the body, knowing how to transform and utilize it is the point.
Therefore, 3, 5, 20, or more days may pass without food, yet
one can still be energized, by transforming stored nutrition and
utilizing high quality substances. So, it is not that one does not
eat, but rather that one eats in a different way. One can utilize
the body's accumulated nutrition and transfer it to gastric and
intestinal fluids for high quality nourishment. This also improves
the digestive system. Isn't Qigong a mystery?
Here is another example. Mrs. Jiang Chong, a 76-year-old
woman, did not feel like eating after attending my lecture. She
did not eat for 26 days. This phenomenon is called 'Bigu' in
Chinese. Some people in Inner Mongolia and Beijing also
refused to eat after my lectures. "Bigu" enhances bodily function
with Qigong. Bigu also purifies and purges the body by
uncovering the body's stored nutrition and, after adjustments,
utilizing it to maintain life. Besides what has been said above, the
Qigong state strengthens intestinal peristalsis and improves
micro-circulation, especially of the small intestine. In this way
both digestion and absorption is greatly improved.
Ordinarily, a person eats half a katty of rice, but because of
poor absorption, a lot of nutrition is evacuated in the stool. The
wonder of the Qigong participant is that he can absorb whatever
nutritional food he eats, so he does not have to eat too much to
maintain high energy levels.
For 80 years, Master Hai Deng ate just a thin porridge,
never solid rice. He also ate soft noodles with a lot of soup. He
did not eat much. Every month he spent only four Yuan
(R.M.B. Chinese currency) for living expenses that included food
and treats for his apprentice and guests. This was what he told
me long ago. I think this was because his absorption abilities
were great. Besides, the Qigong master did not entirely absorb
nutrition through his mouth and nose. He could also have used
many other ways to absorb high quality energy substance for
nourishment.
Water, for instance, does not have to enter only through
the mouth. Light does not have to enter through our eyes. (Like
a plant that needs photosynthesis, light also has some function in
our body.) A Qigong participant absorbs high energy substance
in the universe that others can not absorb. So, one can eat less
or even not eat for a time, and still maintain high energy levels.
49
48
Approved For Release 2001/03/07 : CIA-RDP96-00792R000300430003-5

One may go without food for a long period when absorption of
high energy substance is enhanced. That is why Qigong is a
most ideal and subtle way of improving the digestive system of
the body.
5. How to Ideally Improve the Function of Endocrine System
Investigation has also shown that a Qigong state improves the
endocrine function, regulating hormone level or, in other words,
lengthens the life of hormone secretion. For instance, a Qigong
participant's metabolism of adrenalin or demethylated adrenalin
decreases. Growth hormone and corticosteroid metabolism and
secretion drop, but the period of secretion is lengthened. When
I say drop or decrease, I don't imply insufficiency, but that less
is needed.
Secretion period of endocrines is extended. For example,
women at 49 or so, produce less endocrine, discontinue ovarian
secretion, and cease having periods. However, some 60-year-old
women still bear children. Their period of ovarian hormone
secretion has been prolonged. Also, endocrine dysfunction which
causes the menopause syndrome can also be regulated and
corrected through Qigong practice. In addition, young girls of
14-18 may not have regular periods, but, if they, or their parents
practice Qigong, it will help regulate their endocrine.
It has been observed that, influenced by Qigong, the
endocrine system is ideally regulated to keep the body's
hormone level at its optimum condition. Diseases such as
myocarditis and arthritis are not easily cured, and steroids are
used in treatment. Steroids are also used for advanced cancer
patients. In fact, steroid hormone is secreted by the endocrine
system. Male or female, a person's medical condition is closely
associated with hormone level. The secretion of the endocrine
system can be ideally regulated and modulated with Qigong.
Some arthritis sufferers find their joint pain alleveated or
improved after my Qigong lecture. I think that must be the
effect of hormones. We all know that steroid medication relieves
50
arthritis pain immediately and modifies the symptoms. But when
one takes too much steroid, it affects hormone levels and brings
on side-effects such as a swollen face (the 'full moon face'), and
the massive growth of muscles on the back ('buffalo back') ...
Qigong practice will not bring on all these side-effects, force
hormone level is automatically regulated. Endocrine will beS
secreted as needed. When one needs more, it secretes more; if
less, it secrets less. This is apart from prolonging the period of
secretion. This discussion has been about the regulation and
modulation of the hormone level in the endocrine system.
6. How to Form Ideally and Influence the Changes of the
Function of the Muscular and Skeletal System in the Human
Body
Doing Qigong can prevent early aging of the skeleton. With
age, collagen in the skeleton decreases, while calcium increasesa
Brittleness increases while flexibility decreases. That is why the'
old easily fracture bones when they fall. Master Hai Deangs
compiled a Qigong for Children, which was one of his fout'
ingenious abilities. After practicing this Qigong, he could clime
up to, and jump down from, considerable heights with ng
problem. His whole body was as flexible as a child. When he
was 87, his skeleton and tendons were not at all stiff or rigid
This meant so much to him in his old age.
Qigong is a disciplined practice for the skeleton and bonese
The teeth, skull, and patellas grow after birth. People who de
Qigong bite their teeth and kou tou (kneel and hit their forehead
on the floor as courteous respect to the elders) in order
strengthen these post-natal bones. Collagen will not decrease
with age when one practices Qigong. The old Qigong masterg
would punish apprentices for mistakes in their practice by having
the apprentices kou tou. After hitting the forehead many times
one finally came to realize that this was Qigong practice.
Qigong is also good for preventing and correcting bones
spurs. Mrs. Yang, a 40-50 year old woman from Liao Ling,
51
" CApproved For Release 2007/03/07: CIA-RDP96-00792R000300430003-5

China, had 6-7 mm bone spurs in the patellas of her knees. Her
husband brought her to me. I said to her at the beginning, " My
patient treatment is very different. You are expected to be very
venturesome!" "Certainly!" she said. Then I said again, "You
must comply with my orders!" "Of course, I will!" she
continued.
Then I said, "Let me examine you first. You should go
out first for a walk or run and then come back for my treatment.
Do you dare to do so?" "I do," she answered and went out as
told. It was evening; she was wearing high-heeled shoes and her
husband was afraid she might sprain her ankles. I told him to
leave her alone.
After thirty minutes she ran back in high spirit. She
remarked that the more she ran, the more relaxed she felt. Her
husband saw her and shouted at her, "Sit down quick! Sit down
quick! Move around and see if you are completely recovered."
His sympathy spoiled the whole thing, because he asked the
wrong question Symbols I transmitted to her were diminished.
In order to compensate, I told her to go out a second time and I
transmitted more symbols to her. This time her husband did not
dare interfere. When she came back her legs were normal.
A girl with an S-shaped spinal column was almost refused
admittance to graduate school because of her condition.
I
happened to be on business with her father. he invited me to
their home.
They all knew that I treat patients by chatting with them.
On entering the house, her father said to me, "You can see my
daughter's lumbar. " He did not dare mention the word 'sick.' I
dread hearing the word 'sick', for when the symbol of the word
is confirmed and enforced, it will be more difficult to cure.
When I heard the father wanted me to see her lumbar, I
answered immediately, "Nothing is the matter; it is normal!"
Her mother broke in and wanted to explain the illness of
her daughter, but her father cut her off and interrupted, saying,
" Be quick and have a look at Xiao Yong's spinal column! Dr.
Yan Xin said that nothing is the matter; it must be all right!"
The mother quickly folded up the daughter's blouse at the back
and the spinal column looked normal and very straight.
This shows that Qigong can affect the skeleton and bones
of the body. Even the bone spur disorder of the joints can be
improved by Qigong practice. Of course not all spurs can bo
cured, for there are some spurs serve to protect a region.
Qigong greatly improves muscular movement. I believe that
internal Qigong is better than martial arts, because in a Qigon
state, one's brain and intestinal walls produce large amounts
endorphin, and excite the body's morphine receptors to easig
accept the endorphin. Endorphin is the core morphine substance
Everybody has such a substance, but doesn't produce much
it ordinarily. Under the influence of Qigong, one can produce a
lot. Its analgetic effect is many times more effective than that
morphine.
A Qigong participant is not afraid of being hit or beaten
because the endorphin slows down muscular reflexey.
Furthermore, with the power of Qigong, one can produde
numerous magnetic symbols, which also serve as analgesies.
This theory explains the so-called Golden Bell Shade Qigong and
Iron Cotton Cloth Qigong.
The limbs, and especially the upper arms of the Qigong
participant are particularly strong. Influenced by Qigong,
extensors, flexors, and tone of the whole muscular system &e
strengthened while the period of constant exercise is extended.
An internal Qigong participant has ten times the muscular
strength of the martial arts participant. Generally speaking, ome
slap of the hand by a martial arts expert is about several hundred
pounds of weight. But, with his decisive mind, his strength and
bioenergy, an internal Qigong expert's slap is at least several
thousand pounds of weight.
Late Master Hai Deng could use the index and midale
fingers, in one stroke, to poke into a big bundle of sand wrapped
in cow hide and hemp sack. That is why a common saying day
the old masters says, "To learn martial arts without internal
Qigong, will make one regret it for life. To learn internal
52
53
Gof Releases200.1/03/072 $14-FDP96-90792R060306450008-5

Qigong without martial art will make one contented."
I met two men, Zhou, and Chen, in Cheng Du city once.
They practiced martial arts. When they heard I knew internal
Qigong, they came to learn from me. Although not very serious,
they studied with me for ten years.
The year before last, I met them again and found them more
earnest, so I asked, " Xiao Zhou, you have studied martial arts
for about ten years. How many times can you hit with your
sixty-to-seventy pound dumbbell?" "I can do 50 times at a
stretch when I do it properly. If I do it casually and slowly I can
do it 4-500 times," he answered.
I interrupted, "You should do at least 2000 at a stretch!"
and emmitted quite strong bioenergy to him. He gave me a
smile and said, "It would be good if I could do 2000, of course."
But this time, after he went home, he tried to do 2000 hits
seriously. He looked almost like a Qigong participant who has
strong reaction and frenzied spontaneous movement. Every time
he started, he just could not stop. I told Chen to give him a
message that he could try to add another 1500. Before long I
was told that he could do about 3500 hits at a stretch. Where
does he get this strength? I would say that it comes from
bioenergy spurred by Qigong.
Therefore, changes in
muscular and skeletal systems can be explained only by the
advanced techniques of Qigong experts. This is not only
interesting but also puzzling. Qigong can increase the strength
of one part of the body to the extreme. This is the function of
the sixth mechanism.
7. How to Regulate Ideally the Center of Regulation of the
Temperature in the Body
After practicing Qigong, some can lick a burning red steel
plank, or hot coals; others are able to walk on burning
substances or dip their hands in boiling oil. The reason is that
skin temperature can be regulated.
Quite a number of people use Qigong practice to bring
down fever. One day I experimented with teaching a patient how
to reduce fever. He then practiced Qigong as I had taught, and
the more he did, the better he felt. He said he felt a current of
energy flowing in his body, and he cast away his illness, starting,
from his thumb, until he finally was completely well.
He used to take medicine to treat his fever. One time whes
he got a cold, he refused to take medicine and sat still
meditating and thinking, "Dr. Yan come and treat my fever, I an
having a fever." Subsequently, his fever was gone. This
because he entered the Qigong state and received symbols from
me.
Here is another example. When I was doing
experiments in Shen Zhen, a Beijing patient was very sick wig
a stomach ache. His wife called by phone to ask my help. I told
her to ask her husband right away how he was. When she asked,
he answered that his pain was much better. I asked her thres
more times, and finally she reported that her husband said has
pain was gone. The following morning, they called to tell me
that the symptom disappeared and the fever was gone
Regulation of body temperature with Qigong is very fast.
8. How to Regulate the Electric Potential of the Skin at
Change the Resistance of the Body
Let me explain the experiment that I am doing nog
There is a 220-volt live wire in my right hand and my body as
grounded through my left hand. Anyone who knows electricite,
knows that when a 220-volt live wire from an a.c. (alternating
current) source is grounded through a human body, the heart will
stop beating in one thousandth of a second. Some people in the
Qigong state can regulate the skin's resistance, and the skin's
electric potential, including wave, amplitude, modulation, and
periodic cycle.
This experiment demonstrates that Qigong can regulate the
resistance of both the right and left hand. A high resistance
protects the body from the alternating current. I use this method
to train myself in Qigong.
54
55
Release 2001/03/07 : CIA-RDP96-00792F000500430003-5

Electricity has some benefit for human heart especially
those who have localized anemia in the brain. As soon as the
current passes through the body, their brain will have sufficient
blood flow. In Ji Ning, I treated an old patient from the
Ministry of Petroleum. After current passed through him for a
minute, his atrial tremor symptoms disappeared.
In my experiments today, I let live electricity pass from
me to the other person. I held the live wire, and he the ground
wire. The electric current, in going through my body, was
changed, for, on his side, the electric voltage was only 36. He
felt it, but was not harmed by it. However, when I touched him
with my hand, his hand went numb. If this were a rigged
experiment, he would not feel numb. The electric pen in my
hand carried voltage in, but the electric pen in his hand carried
little voltage out. This shows that electricity obeys order.
Then we let one person hold the live wire and touch
another person with the ground wire. Both felt numb, but when
we tested it with the electric pen, the measure of voltage was
very low. This means that even though I did not stand near
them, they still kept their voltage very low. Besides, voltage can
be regulated from 1 to 220 volts.
Some closed their eyes when the electric current passed
through their bodies but light flashes registered in their brains.
This is equivalent to the Qigong practice of opening one's inner
or heavenly eye. This phenomenon can be trained through
Qigong practice. I have done this experiment because it is very
simple, intuitive, and convincing.
We don't call this
extrasensory perception. It just demonstrates Qigong's ability to
raise and lower the voltage of electricity. Qigong's eighth
functional mechanism regulates the skin's electric potential and
changes the body's resistance.
9. How to Improve and Regulate Ideally the Function of
Immunity in Human Body
The terms, improving and regulating immunity, refer to the
immunity of the body, the cells and the unspecific condition.
Some have discovered that Qigong practice and contact with the
Qigong master apparently increases the white blood cell count of
the participant. Consequently, the phagocytic capacity (ability too
destroy harmful substance), the index of white cells and they
acidophil (therapeutic bacteria) will also increase. The body's
resistance against diseases is naturally strengthened.
In experiments with white mice, researchers observe that
Qigong's external bioenergy, including message water, can raise
the phagocytic rate of lymphocytes in the spleen's lymph gland
Another group observed that external bioenergy increases the rate
of DNA formation from lymphocytes in the peripheral blood
This enhances the power of lymphocyte SCE (single exchange
the sisterly chromosomes) in humans. The same experiment is
white mice increased specific coagulant in blood serum.
A patient with Behcet's syndrome lived in Shen Yang. HA
immunity had been destroyed. The mucous membranes of hig
body were covered with ulcers. In December of 1987 he came
to Beijing to see me. After a few minutes, I suggested that ke
should live in a separate room from his wife. After seven days,
he reported that by the second day, he felt his condition ves
definitely improved. His ulcers disappeared on the third day.&
During the treatment he also acquired extrasensor
perception. He could hear infrasonic waves. Pictures am
patterns registered in his mind and he had fluoroscopic ability,
for example. At present, he is a teacher in Shen Yang. Nut
long ago, the Chinese TV station sent a group to video tape hin.
On October 4th, he took part in his school's Track and Field
event. He won first place in Long Distance Run, and third in
Broad Jump.
Compare this with his past, when he suffered fregh
Behcet's Syndrome and had no immunity. He could not even
walk, let alone run in a race. After his treatment in December
1987, he has become an entirely new person.
In a word, Qigong influences,regulates and improves the
immune system. Qigong regulates automatically. That is, when
-
56
57
se 2001/03/07 : 6IA-RDP96-00792R000900430003-5

the body needs powerful immunity, it becomes strong, and when
it needs weak immunity, it weakens. Under Qigong's effect,
immunity is bidirectional. It can either destroy bacteria or make
bacteria grow. This is what medication cannot usually achieve.
Now, that is how Qigong regulates and improves immunity.
10. Qigong Can Make One Release External Bioenergy and
Transmit It Somewhere to Change the Characters of the
Living Organism.
After practicing Qigong, all body functions are
strengthened and one can probably release high quality substance
or transfer internal bioenergy into external. If one can emit
external bioenergy, one can hope to change the condition and
special characteristics of living organisms. For instance, one can
make seeds sprout, and flowers bloom and flourish ahead of
time. Fungi can be made to grow much larger than usual.
A Qigong master in Yun Nan emits external bioenergy to
make a fungus grow to more than three pounds weight. Others
experiment on plant genetic chromosome with Qigong and have
found positive and negative effects with both protective and
destructive characteristics.
Once, a Qigong master in Beijing cooperated with the
superintendent of an army hospital to experiment on bacteria.
They found that external bioenergy can either destroy or nourish
bacteria. Another group experimented on animals, and made
white mice and rabbits sick. The fact is that one can transfer
illness in man to animals. Some people transmit their external
energy to a plant, and the plant will then get sick. Its leaves and
stems will exhib strange phenomena.

In Ching Hua University, I tried to repeat an experiment
done by others. Associate Professor Ju was suffering from
edema. His legs were swollen and spongy, and could be
indented by fingers pressing on them. Six people were there at
the time. One was ten-year-old Lu Qiang, son of Professor Lu.
This boy went to the toilet about six times while we were talking.
58
Suddenly he said to me, " Uncle Yan, what's wrong with me?
Today I ate dry rice and drank nothing. Why must I go to the
toilet six times, and every time pass such a large amount of
water? Do you think I suffer from nephritis? You had better
treat me for it." I said, " Never mind."
"Then I suggested that Prof. Ju fold up his pants and le
me examine his legs. He did, and we could see that his leg
were no longer swollen and could not be indented by finges
pressing on them. That meant that the fluid in Prof. Ju's legs
was secreted through the boy's bladder.
In Liao Ning, I also had the experience of transfering illness
to another person. Once I warned the Qigong Associati@ ;!
director in Liao Ning not to personally introduce patients to me
Symbols would pass through him, and he was an old man, mo ??
sensitive to catching the disease. But one day, he had &
introduce a patient with gall stones to me. As soon as
mentioned the patient's name, his gall bladder became painfuck
Finally, he told me, "Dr. Yan, don't punish me. My gat
bladder is really painful and that is no exaggeration. You must
treat it for me!"

Here is another experience I had. In 1986 in Japan,
officially asked that no pictures or videotapes be taken. The
would not listen, and their cameras and VCRs malfunctioned
because the ground wire became live. Since both wires we
live, the machine, of course, would not record.
e
Driver Xiao Lou knew best. Last year, the car he drot
refused to start. He had no electricity, because the horn was
dead. He called for a new battery, but there was none to sene.
Then I said, " Maybe we can think of a way out. Let's
try." I looked up and saw a high voltage live wire over dur
heads. "Let's transmit a little down here," I thought. Suddens
something terrible happened. The front body of the car began ao
really smoke. One's hand could be scorched without even
touching the car.
Xiao Lou was very scared and so was I. At first I was
only hoping to get a little electricity from the live wire overhead,
59
....

but now, it was too much, and if the gas in the car ignited, it
would be terrible! I have just mentioned the bidirectional effect
of Qigong, but it was very strange that the smoke disappeared
and the car cooled. I said to Xiao Lou, "Try the car, I am sure
that it will go now." He did and it went smoothly, for the car
surely got some electricity.
These experiments prove that the functional mechanisms of
Qigong are varied.
Qigong treats diseases through its
bidirectional functions. The above ten points are the functional
mechanisms of Qigong.
5) Key Principles of Qigong
Dr. Yan Xin
The key principles of Qigong are to protect
oneself from weakness and to increase one's
morality. Without virtue, one cannot guard against
losses, particularly the loss of Qigong ability. In
order to conserve that ability, one must use it
sparingly and carefully, or not at all.
People try to solve problems with Qigong. It is
essential that they understand what many senior Qigong
masters have taught. That is, Qigong ability must be
conserved, used seldom, and applied carefully.
One must continuously gain ability in order to
accomplish significant good deeds. The external Qi of
Qigong masters is a form of matter. The matter in the
human body is limited. Applying Qi may lose this matter
and energy.
Only when one's Qigong ability reaches a certain
level can one make use of environmental matter to cure
the sick and do other good deeds. (Environmental matter
includes earth, fire, water, wind and space. In modern
China, "space" is understood to mean cosmic rays.)
However, no matter if one uses body Qi or if one
makes use of external matter, the matter and energy of
a master's body will be consumed in healing. Only by&
saving energy and carefully protecting oneself can one
gain more Qigong ability and progress from minor good
deeds to major, from remote moving of small objects to
moving of large objects, and from opening the heaven-eyed
to opening the Buddha-eye.
Using ability one has just gained on trivial
demonstrations gains nothing in the end. An essentiala
principle of Qigong is to grow in virtue. This becomes an!
issue when one accepts payment from a patient.
Many senior Qigong masters teach that one shouldg
not accept payment from a patient for ethical reasons.
There are also technical arguments that receivingo
payment will reduce the effectiveness of one's ability to
treat. This is because rewards from patients retainO
signals and this signal information cannot be purged.
In order to express their gratitude, some patients,
after being treated, invite the Qigong master to a meal
Their feelings are understandable, but those who have
reached a higher Qigong ability never accept rewards
after doing good deeds. They do not wish to be thanked@
and would rather not hear words of appreciation.
In summary, the principles of Qigong are to
conserve one's ability and to increase morality. MoralityY
is essential because without virtue, one is weakened ands
unable to conserve one's ability. To conserve the QigongL
ability, it must be used sparingly and carefully or not atg
all.
Qigong has five skill levels or "five openings."
These skill levels are progressive, and only by
careful conservation of Qi can one go from one step
60
61
Approved For Release 2001/03/07 : CIA-RDP96-00792R000300430003-5

to the next.
The five openings are the flesh-eye, the heaven-eye,
the wisdom eye, the dharma eye and the Buddha eye.
These can be conceived of as nonvisual sense functions.
These skills are progressive, and only by careful
conservation of Qi can one advance from one step to the
next.
Based on our knowledge of Qigong effects and
phenomena, humans are able to visualize subconsciously.
In the terminology of modern natural science, one can
observe things with "cold light effectors."
Everyone has cold light effectors. Everyone has
points on his body that "glitter." For example, everyone's
Tian Mu (heaven-eye) acupuncture point can be opened to
glitter and to visualize figures or writings. Everyone's
subsound effectors can sense inaudible sound without
using one's ears.
Cold light effectors are objectively existent,
however, one must resolve to open and use them. Certain
conditions must be met to open them, and energy is
needed to use them. When these effectors are open and
are emitting cold light, the light is received and reflected
by an object. The object is "visualized" through this
reflected light ray.
Everyone can awaken non-visual sense functions
through the practice of Qigong. Some persons practice
one or two hours a day. This is analogous to a worker
who melts iron ore in a furnace, but then continually puts
out the fire. By always melting and cooling, the worker
gets nothing out of the furnace, not steel and water, nor
iron ore.
To be most effective in awakening functions, one
must practice twenty-four hours a day. When one
practices while working, one's work will also improve.
There is a method for this and I will mention that later.
62
The first of the five-eye openings is the flesh-
eye opening. Once one opens his flesh-eye, he will
not be near-sighted nor far-sighted. He will see
with extraordinary sharpness, far and near.
The first of the five-eye openings is the flesh-eye
opening. Generally people become far-sighted as theys
age. Some people become near-sighted due to reading
and working in dim light. When the flesh-eye is opened,
near- or far-sightedness is not a problem and one sees
with extreme sharpness. This is a visual function, buts
also the foundation of nonvisual functions. However, i
one does not conserve one's ability well enough, it is
hardly possible to progress to nonvisual functions.
(A member of the audience asked, "Dr Yan, youg
have Qigong skills, why do you wear glasses? Are youo
near-sighted or astigmatic?")
My glasses are neither for near-sightedness nor
astigmatism. These glasses change shades when light
intensity changes. In some places the light is too bright
which is harmful to the eyes, also, photo flashes irritates
the eyes. For these reasons I wear lenses that adapt to
changes in light, but there is another concern. Some,
Qigong masters believe it is not good to have one's picture
taken frequently. I wear glasses, which alters my image,
so that the picture is not exactly like me. Therefore, Iu
wear glasses in front of a large audience but not in
everyday life.
To summarize the discussion, the first "opening",
the flesh-eye opening, is not a high level Qigong practice.)
However, practicing it can correct near-sightedness, far-
sightedness, and astigmatism.
The second "opening" is the heaven-eye
opening. At this level one is able to open one's
heaven-eye acupuncture point, view distant objects,
63
Approved For Release 2001/03/07 : CIA-RDP96-00792R000300430003-5

and see inside objects.
With practice one learns to open the flesh-eye; with
further practice one can open the heaven-eye. In this
first stage of non-visual viewing, one is able to see distant
objects and to see inside objects.
Nonvisual functions may be reduced if they are
overused. In the late 1970s and early 1980s, many
children with extraordinary functions were discovered.
Authorities who were not concerned with the children's
training, often asked them to demonstrate their skill or
to detect objects. The children did not know to train
themselves, and, as their power was consumed, it was
reduced over time.
The former party secretary of Sichuan province,
Mr. Chao Yang, was the initial supporter of extraordinary
functions study. When he confirmed that Yu Tang of
Dazu, Sichuan, was able to read with his ears, Mr. Yang
defended the accurate report of the Daily Sichuan press.
-
-
Later, however, people trying to deny the existence
of extraordinary functions, repeatedly tested and
inspected these children, and thereby disregarded the
limits of human power. Unavoidably, some of the retests
failed because of the considerable drain on human
reserves of energy. However, the incidence of failures
was exaggerated and some people claimed that
extraordinary functions were
a fraud or were
superstitions.
From a purely physical viewpoint, human
physiological functions metabolize, suppress old cells, and
sustain new cells as the body grows, ages, gets ill and
dies. Qi ability changes too because it is sensitive to the
faults of human beings and even super beings have
occasional faults. This issue is better discussed at
another time.
The third opening is the wisdon-eye opening.
This opening level has four functions, the first of
which is the multi-eye function.
After attaining the heaven-eye opening ability, wit
practice and careful conservation of Qi, one can advance
to the wisdom-eye opening.
This opening has four
functions, the first is the multi-eye function.
This function allows one not only to see through aa
object, but also to view the object in three-dimension frorg
multiple angles. For instance, one could view a cup, frorff
side, back side, top side, bottom side and inside. In order
to accomplish multiple angle viewing, many points on the
body must glow, transmitting rays to the many-sided
object and receiving photo signals from each of thes?
sides.
ApprovedFor Release 2001/03/07 5CIA-RDR96.00792RG06300438003-5
The second function of the wisdom-eye
called the analytic-eye or analytic-eye gong. At this.
level of Qigong, one can arouse genetic code
information in one's body to utilize experiences,
lessons, and wisdom of ancestors.
When one attains analytic-eye gong, one can arousa
genetic code information in one's body to utilize the
knowledge, experience, lessons and wisdom of ones
ancestors. A teacup, for example, can be seen inside
outside, front side, etc., using the multi-eye functioff.
However, if one is not familiar with teacups or does no
recognize the historical significance of a particular teacup
the image is like a quote out of context. The analytic-eye
gong allows one to bring up genetic information from
ancestors to analyze the cup to determine, for example
that the cup is from a particular era.
The above statements may seem incomprehensible,
and people question, asking, "Who can know without
64
65
-
-

learning? Isn't this superstitious? Is this pre-birth
knowledge?" However, our ancestors learned and had
knowledge, which is passed on through genetic code. For
example, some children who have been taught negligible
math are able to calculate two numbers faster than a
computer.
Someone in the audience asks, "Is quick calculation
related to Qigong?"
It is possible to say that these children may have
analytic-eye gong. Perhaps their ancestors studied
mathematics and that knowledge was passed through
genetic code. Or, perhaps they have living relatives who
are studying computers, and communicate with them
through intuitive genetic affinity.
In summary, potential for quick calculation may be
aroused by inherited learning experience, intuitive
information exchange among living blood-relatives, and
the practice of Qigong. The fastest thing in the world is
human thought. It is faster than light, electricity, and
certainly than data entry. With one thought, a person
can arrive at the solution to a seemingly very complex
problem. Therefore, a person can calculate faster than
computers.
Why would someone die after entering the
tome of an Egyptian king? Why do some people
recover when they reach a certain destination? Are
these phenomena probably caused by residual
Qigong Information?
According to record, the tomb of an ancient king
was found near an Egyptian pyramid. The archeologist
who unearthed it died on the very night of his discovery.
Some say he was bitten by a mosquito, but it is unlikely
that the several thousand-year-old tomb held mosquitoes.
Other people who entered the tomb with him did not die
that night or following nights, which further destroys the
mosquito theory. However, it is contended that all other
people who entered the tomb with him died within one
year.
Later another archeologist entered the tomb, intens?
on preserving the tomb and respectful of the dead. He
then "read" an ancient Egyptian inscription, and seemed
to "understand" its meaning, although he did not know
the language. After copying the inscription, he consulted
resource books at home. The translation from reference
material was the same as he "understood": "A curse og
whomever disturbs my peace for they face disaster ang!
will immediately die!"
It is said that the archaeologist publicized the
inscription in affiliated departments in Egypts
Subsequent visitors to the tomb hoped to preserve the
tomb and to benefit from it. Some of these people weng
cured of illness. Similarly, a person with sincere faith ixt
Qigong may visit the place where Qigong masters
practiced, may worship some appropriate frescoes or
statues, and may become well.
In China today, some consider these worshiper
superstitious. And, indeed, there are uneducated
backward people who have an irrational belief in "ghostse
These "ghosts" do not exist. However, the phenomeng
may be interpreted another way. For example, there may
be a strong magnetic field, radiation, or cosmic ray which
is beneficial to humans at the site of the frescoes of
statues. Therefore, the sick who walk or practice Qigong
where Qigong masters chose to exercise, may reduce their
sickness.
Also, disciples of the master may still come to the
site, and his Qigong information may pass on through
them. If the sick have strong faith in the master ana
walk or practice Qigong at the site, when they enter into
a Qigong state, they can easily receive the information of
67
66
SApproved For Release 2009/63/07 -: 6IA-RDP96 00792R000000430003-5

the master and be healed. There is also the possibility
that the master changed the microstructure or the
molecular structure of some substances at the site. This
too may reduce or cure the symptoms of the visitor.
Therefore, although the sick may become well when
visiting a site, this may not be due to miracles of
supernatural beings, but rather may be due to the effects
of Qigong information, flourishing plants, fresh air, or the
aura of goodwill left by many visitors, or all of these.
The final point is that genetic and residual Qigong
information does have an effect.
The third function of the wisdom-eye is called
"historical-eye," or the historical-eye gong. The
historical-eye can not only see the present
symptoms of the patient, but also the medical
history.
The analytic-eye can see the present, but not the
past, therefore the wisdom-eye must have a third
function, the historical-eye.
To see the past means to detect residual
information from the past, both deeds and thoughts. By
some journalistic reports, certain Qigong masters, when
giving medical diagnosis, can correctly determine the
patient's medical history and foresee the development of
the disease. To detect the past, one must have the
historical-eye gong.
The fourth function of the wisdom-eye is
called "future-eyes", or tuture-eye gong. The future-
eye can foretell the future development of present
situations.
It is not sufficient to be able to see the past and the
present, for someone will ask, what about tomorrow? To
be complete, one should also see the future. This requires
the future-eye gong.
According to an ancient story, Bian Que met Qi
Henggong and said, "You are suffering from an illness"
which is now only skin deep. If not treated in time, thed
illness will progress." When Qi Henggong heard this, he
shrugged it off lightly. "I feel fine," he said, and then sent
Bian Que away.
Five days later Bian Que saw Qi Henggong again,
and said, "Your illness is now in the blood stream. If not
treated now, it will be serious." Qi Henggong was
somewhat displeased, and said, "I feel absolutely fine.
Quit bothering me."
Five days later Bian Que went to see Qi Henggong
and said, "Your illness is now in the internal organs. You
must be treated now." Qi Henggong pretended not to
notice him.
After five more days Bian Que went to look for Qi
Henggong. When he saw him, he turned away without
saying a word. Qi Henggong was puzzled by his behavior
and called him back. Bian Que said, "When the illness is
skin deep, a hot water treatment will cure it. When the
illness is in the blood stream, acupuncture will cure it.
Even when the illness goes into the internal organs,
medicated wine can still reach it. Now that the illness
has entered the marrow, it is incurable." Qi Henggong
still did not believe it.
In yet another five days, Qi Henggong succumbed
to grave illness. When he sent for Bian Que, the latter
had already disappeared.
Qi Henggong died soon
afterwards.
Bian Que could not only scan the inside of the
human body, but also detect development of illness.
Therefore, he possessed at least the wisdom-eye gong.
The question arises, if the past has left residual
information, how can the future project its information?
68
69
Approved For Release 2001/03/07 : CIA-RDP96-00792R000300430003-5

The answer lies in the potential for change. Like weather
forecasting, predictions are based on potential
developments, which in turn, are based on information
gathered from the past and present.
It should be said that those masters who possess
this gong can predict certain future events rather
accurately.
The opening of the wisdom-eye is composed of
the multi-eye gong, analytic-eye gong, historical-eye
gong, and future-eye gong. In general, one's
auxiliary sensing ability progresses more rapidly if
one uses it with caution and restraint.
Presently some Qigong masters, with opened
wisdom-eye, can give detailed diagnosis. I have myself
developed my skill by first using such functions as remote
sensing and have been able to diagnose rather accurately.
Later I realized a problem with starting treatment by
giving a diagnosis. Once the illness is specified, it is also
firmly established in the patient. The process of
specifying the illness changes the nature of the illness.
This leads to the next level of sensing ability, which we
shall call the opening of the Dharma-eye.
After the wisdom-eye comes the dharma-eye.
The Dharma-eye has two properties, higher energy
and the ability to move or change the subject.
If one can foretell that a particular car will crash
tomorrow, one has the wisdom-eye open. If one can
correct it, one has the dharma-eye open. I will tell you a
story. It is true, but do not take it too literally. It
involves a medical student of mine, Chen.
Several years ago, Chen bought a truck and he
wanted me to "look" at it. I usually do not like to foretell
--
----
the future, but he insisted until I agreed. I told him how
many times the car would be involved in accidents and
what kind. Eventually all minor accidents happened as
predicted. For example, I warned him to be careful ofo
brake malfunction: Once the brakes malfunctioned when?
the truck was parked and it rolled down the slope.
About two years ago, I told Chen's driver, Qiu, that
the truck would be in a serious accident in the lunar
month of May. Chen's wife was there and she said to me
"You must change this event for us!" I replied, "The best
I can do is save the people, not the vehicle." She then
said, in jest, "Better have the people killed than the
vehicle ruined." Unfortunately, just as she was making
the joke I was applying the gong. When I am applying,
the gong, other people must not cut in because the sound
wave may destroy the positive vision. It is like a paintef
being hit on the back. With a shake of the hand, the
image is distorted.
The driver, Qiu, believing me, took a month'
vacation in May. Chen hired another driver, Jiang, who
thought Qigong was superstition. Jiang had been driving
for nine years in the army and another three years as &
civilian, so he was quite experienced. He spent the first
day and half of May maintaining the vehicle and
completed the second day loading goods (fruits and)
snacks,) and was ready for the trip from Chongqing.
The next day his car overturned and fell 13 meterg
down a cliff. It took a month to repair the truck and
although Chen and the driver were both in the car when
the accident happened, neither was injured. In addition
to the vehicle damage, they had to pay four thousand
yuan in property damages.
Immediately after the crash Chen asked his
driver,"What were you doing?"
The driver replied, "I was dodging a cyclist."
Chen said, "There was no cyclist on the road at all!"

People can have illusions at certain times;that is
what happened to the driver. It was lucky that the
people were not injured. Not every accident can be
corrected. On that same third day in May, the original
driver Qiu (who was on vacation) received a telegram
from home. His mother was killed in another traffic
accident. Remember that Chen's wife said, "Better have
the people killed," when I was applying the gong. What
she said stamped this trouble on Qiu. He did not drive,
but some other driver ran over his mother.
Let me clarify one point. What I have said here
should be treated as a parable. I use that method to
invoke the audiences' gong. It is called the inductive
method. When my master taught me Qigong, he also
used the parable. Some people say that my lectures are
all chatting and boasting. In a sense I am chatting and
boasting, and so are many other Qigong masters when
they teach. Afterwards they say it is a parable. I will do
the same. These examples should not be taken too
literally.
. .......

To summarize, the realm of the Dharma-eye is one
level higher than the wisdom-eye. The Dharma-eye has
two functions. One is higher energy, called the opening
of the "energy-eye." The other is the ability to adjust and
alter the subject, called the opening of the "destiny-eye."
After teh dharma-eye comes the "Buddha-eye."
In such a realm, the aura surrounding the body is
so powerful that disease is cured automatically.
The level following the Dharma-eye is the opening
of the Buddha-eye, popularly known as the omnipresent,
omniscient and omnipotent Buddha light.
When one's gong progresses to such a level, the
aura surrounding the body can be recorded by scientific
instruments.
Patients are healed without conscious
----
application of Qigong because everyone in the range of
this aura will benefit from its field. In the past, people
described it as all present, all knowing and all powerful.
The Qi at this level can have healing effects far away,
because of its penetrating and transcending powers. Ats2
this level, if he is in imminent danger from an armed
criminal, the master will sense the threat when thec
criminal is within aura range and will make appropriate
response or change in time.
In 1986, I visited Japan. The director of the Japan
Qigong Research Board was fond of taking photographs.
We asked him not to take excessive photographs of
Chinese Qigong demonstrations. He would not listen. So!
although he had a reliable camera, it kept breaking down"
during the show.
That is how I stopped theg
photographing. Also, although we asked that the
demonstration not be videotaped, they tried. In the midst
of the demonstration, their video camera stopped working<
Stripped of its religious aura, the so-called
"omnipresent Buddha light" refers to the ability to do
good things for others wherever one goes. The so-called
'great vehicle" refers to the virtue of teaching others
Qigong. Among Qigong followers, it is generally.
considered virtuous to carry someone across the river, to
build bridges and roads, and even better, to lead someoneg
into the wonderful realm of Qigong.
There are five distinct levels or 'openings
which are clear to Qigong masters, but not
necessarily to laymen. Here are some typical casesu
If, for example, one is able to "transport" using that
level gong, one may wish to "transport" a cup of tea from
a tea house. If one later pays for the transported tea, it?
is alright. Otherwise, it is stealing and one's Qigong level
will be reduced.

As far as I know, those who possess extraordinary
functions are generally virtuous people. This point is not
yet generally known. Just recently, I heard complaints
about a man in Beijing using this "transport" gong for a
disreputable pursuit. I immediately questioned the
validity of this statement. I have traveled to many places
in the country and have found that Qigong masters and
children with extraordinary functions are of good
character. One who is not virtuous cannot progress in
Qigong, cannot do transport.
Why does one have to pay for what one has
transported? Why does one need to be virtuous? Doing
otherwise will be out of tune with your master's signal.
Perhaps you think you don't have a master, but you are
not correct. Although one may not know it, everyone with
extraordinary functions has a master. In the sphere of
high Qigong, it is master searching for pupil, not the
other way around. The master may teach Qigong
remotely, unbeknownst to the pupil. Some believe
incorrectly that extraordinary functions are inborn, not
taught, but the master teaches with gong, not face to face.
... .
When one first gains the transport skill, one should
use it with restraint, or not at all. If, for example, one
always transports a cup of tea for oneself or for friends,
then one will not progress any further. However, if one
seldom use this ability, one will discover intricacies of
transport and progress towards medium transport. Then,
when friends come, one will be able to transport a pot of
tea for them.
Approved For Release z
But even so, one cannot serve a hundred people, or
a thousand people. An individual's energy is limited.
Therefore it is better not to use the skill, or to use it
sparingly. This way one will progress toward grand
transport. However, transport is actually a cumbersome
method to retrieve something. It takes more energy to
transport than to get objects directly, so even grand
transport is not an ideal skill.
If transport uses a lot of energy and the object still
has to be paid for, what is the use of it? Actually, if used
sparingly, grand transport is a step toward another
realm, called "yielding." In the previous example, where
serving a hundred or a thousand people, using yielding
abilities, one can make cups from mud, and water from
water vapor to quench the thirst of guests. But th
procedure for converting earth to cups is very complex
and demands a lot of Qi. The energy of the human body
is limited; how much can one expend? How many peopl
is one able to serve? If 10,000 people want to drink, then
what does one do?
If 10,000 people are thirsty, one cannot make thato
many cups, but using a higher level, called "adjustment,"
one can reduce their sensation of thirst. If there is plenty
of water vapor, one could convey it directly into their
bodies. One could also adjust substances in their bodies
to increase water and saliva. This would solve the ..
problem.
In summary, even at the higher levels of Qigong,
one must use Qi ingeniously. In a word, to improve one's
Qi is to protect oneself. One should use one's Qi, energy
as little as possible. Even though one has an ability, it is
better not to use it.
Qigong stresses generous and moral acts; this
is a teaching. Ignoring what one was tole, one used
the special ability to act immorally by "underssing
a beauty." As a result, the relative suffered and one
ruined one's ability.
Within the higher realm of Qigong there is a rule:
do not try to harm others or you will harm yourself.
Virtue is very important. Without it, one's Qi will
decrease or be totally lost. Qigong masters may hear of an
74

immoral technique called, "undressing a beauty," where
one uses Qigong energy to allow a beautiful woman in the
distance to undress by herself and come to one's room.
This is only hearsay, and I am not sure if it is true. My
master told me that there were some who knew how to do
it, but if one used it, the "beauty" must be one's relative,
such as wife, daughter, in-law, etc. Also soon after using
it, one can never use it again and all Qigong ability will
be totally lost.
In Chongqing, I met a Mr. Jiang. After he
attended my lecture he told me, "Dr. Yan, what you said
is exactly true. I once had a lot of abilities, but lost them
all just because I once used that method. My master
warned me many times not to try it, but I ignored the
warning. The person coming to my room was my family
member! I was so shocked I did not want to practice
Qigong again."
Actually, I did not investigate Mr. Jiang's
narrative, and you can just accept it as a story. However,
at the higher levels of Qigong it is understood that to
harm others is to harm oneself.
There is here a suggestion for practicing Qigong.
Do you want to get energy or abilities? Use the story as
an example of how to practice Qigong. The strategy is to
learn to meditate, what I have described is only the
physical experience.
Additionally, the information here is from my
master. I still remember that Master Haideng told me a
story when he taught me. It was that Da Mo, the founder
of a sect of Buddhism, ferried a river on a piece of reed.
After Master Haideng told the story, he said, "Understand
the moral of this story, it is more important than
practice." I understood later what he was trying to say.
The story was not a simple story. It was a lesson.
So, do not accept the example I gave as exact
information. I always infer and I cannot be exact.
---
Assumptions are not always useful either. It is only a
way to kindle similar abilities in some people.

In Japan, a Japanese Qigong master emitted
intense Qi towards me. I followed the principle of
treating others with understanding. I was not
harmed by his depraved energy, but if I had
reacted with anger, I could have been harmed.
That is why Qigong emphasizes virtues.
I visited Japan in 1986. There I met Mr. Xiaolin,
who wanted to compete with me. In accord with Qigong
virtue, I could not refuse him, but I had to be ethical.
-
He started to yell and actually he was emitting Qi.
He knew hypnotism and it was said that he could levitate
another person. He just cried, "Gu lu, Gu lu.'
After he had emitted Qi for a while, he was
sweating all over yet found that I had not responded. He
then changed his approach. He stood behind me and
pushed me violently. I had practiced gongfu (kungfu)
earlier, and even though my gongfu is not equal to his, I
could stand steadily. Mr. Xiaolin, finding this useless,
again switched tactics. He "punched" my Bai Hui
acupuncture point (the peak point of the head). This was
very threatening, but I still did not respond. Finally, he
seemed to give up and made a few kind remarks. But as
he was speaking, he seized my neck artery with his hand.
I sat still, and made it appear as if nothing had
happened. He finally gave up.
Mr. Hu, who was with me, later said, "My, I was so
nervous." He was referring to the fact that Mr. Xiaolin
"punched" my Bai Hui and seized my neck artery.
Mr. Xiaolin really wanted to compete with me, but
I did not fight against him. My procedure was very
simple. I just "sealed" my body. I did nothing to oppose
him, in accord with Qigong ethics. He emitted powerful

energy. I absorbed it and then discarded it. Everything
will be protected if one does not oppose others. One
cannot clap with one hand.
In 1986 in Beijing I did an experiment to show that
electricity can be transmitted without wires. The voltage
in a house was above 220v, so I transmitted some to a
distant area where there was no electricity.
Then, one night in 1986, a Chinese Qigong
Association member invited a friend, a Qigong master, to
stay overnight. He called me at midnight and asked me
to send electricity to his house. I responded to the
request innocently, I did not realize that I was being
challenged. Maybe I transmitted too much. His friend
had rapid heart beat, tingling sensations, and was cold all
over. The association membrer had problems, too. The
next day he had loose bowels and called again, asking me
to take back half the electricity.
Later that Qigong master came to see me, saying
he wanted to talk to me. However, before he left, he
"punched" my head, saying he wanted some information.
I said that was not a problem. I told him to treat others
with compassion and gave the example of Mr. Xiaolin. I
assured him that I meant him no harm. His depraved
energy was absorbed, however, if I had been against him,
there would have been some reaction, and if I had given
it significance there would have been a real fight. Again,
this is why Qigong emphasizes virtue. If one opposes
another, it is easy to be hurt. However, I had not
transferred too much electricity on purpose that night.
That Qigong master had a grudge against me. He was
embarrassed and discouraged, and I felt bad for him.
During the visit to Japan, a Japanese person
challenged me to a fencing contest. I accepted because I
was Master Haideng's pupil and could not refuse. In
addition, I represented our country and so I agreed.
However, I announced that I wanted to touch his sword

in case he put information on it, so that I could put
information on it too. My challenger did not arrive and
neither did another who wanted to box with me.
In the circle of Qigong and gongfu, people really?
have high morals. It is not necessary to fight each other
to win the first place in Qigong. In fact, after one reaches
a certain level in Qigong, one depends heavily on virtue
and good deeds to get more Qi and energy.

Many people believe that Qigong can heal
sickness. This presents Qigong masters a good
opportunity to earn money. On the other hand, one
faces the dilemma of ethics. But if Qigong masters,
do not receive repayment, there will not be funding
for the progress of Qigong research and
development.
As a Qigong master, one has to know how to
overlook or sacrifice. If we teach Qigong, help the sick of
do some other things, we should not charge too much?
money. But I do not oppose Qigong masters earning some
money. Actually, Qigong masters receive very little
money.
Qigong masters emit Qi which is energy from,
inside; they use their own life to treat and heal patients!
A published article, entitled, "Qigong is Scientific,'o
reported that a research institute in Zhejiang province
measured the external Qi emitted by a Qigong master aso
he raised blood cell count, like a blood transfusion.
It used to be thought by Qigong masters that lifeo
could be prolonged by attaining Qigong ability but not
using it. Using Qi will shorten one's life. Can money be
compared to shortening one's life? An old proverb says
78
79
Approved For Release 2001/03/07 : CIA-RDP96-00792R000300430003-5

"Gold is precious, but true Qi is priceless." So, the money
a Qigong master charges is, strictly speaking, not profit,
because the price is shortening his life.
For instance, using Qigong to diagnose and detect
disease will consume true Qi. Disease detection and
Qigong fluoroscopy will not harm the patient but will
benefit him. In the example, the blood cell count was
raised and the disease was clearly diagnosed. Thus it is
possible to diagnose and cure at the same time. If an x-
ray were used instead, a lot of white blood cells would be
killed, which is harmful.
The CAT scan is very expensive because it takes
many views of the entire body. But the Qigong check-up,
if there is a fee, costs very little. And, since Qigong
treatment consumes the master's true Qi and time, it is
reasonable to collect fees. It is unreasonable not to
charge.
It is necessary and reasonable to collect some fees
for the sake of Qigong development. In order to do
Qigong research, or open a Qigong hospital, one needs
basic equipment and instruments. Conferences also cost
money. However, the money is from the people and
should be spent for the people. It is best to charge an
amount equal to similar services in the medical hospital.
Then even though the cost is the same, the effect is better
because a Qigong check-up treatment is not harmful to
the body.
To practice Qigong one must emphasize
virtue. To give treatment one must also emphasize
virtue. If one's character, behavior and compassion
are not suitable, one's gong cannot be improved and
one cannot successfully cure disease.
Qigong emphasizes the need for virtue. If one tries
to cure disease, or to practice and improve skills, one will
never succeed if character, behavior and compassion are
not fitting. Compassion suggests thoughtfulness and
conscience. Character denotes personality and natural
disposition. Behavior implies words and deeds.
If the patient is only concerned with getting well
and does not have regard for the healer whose gong is
being consumed, nor for the limits of human power, he
can hardly expect to be healed. A patient sometimes
assumes that once he finds a miracle-working doctor, he
can rid himself of all disease, at once. He does not
understand that the doctor is a human, not a god.
Some people who want treatment rush over to meo
after my lecture. They are not thinking of the time, thec
place and my limitations. Even if these people were to be
treated, they would not receive the complete healing
effect. On the other hand, I know of one old lady who did
not get a ticket for the lecture, but listened,
conscientiously outside, and was healed. Another whe
could not get a pass, walked around the lecture hall
couple times and was fully cured or comforted.
At the opposite end of the spectrum, one person,
pushed his way to the front platform after the lecture an&
persisted in shaking hands with me, bowed down with
entreaties and insisted that I treat him. I explained th&
principle at length, but he still did not understand.
person like that does not have proper character nog
sufficient understanding. They are hard to treat and
have little chance of being cured.
People who understand Qigong know that, to tread
a disease, the patient must cooperate. This is called
"synchronous resonance." If the patient does nom
cooperate, and is not synchronous with the mastere
thought wave, there will be no resonance and no specia
result can be expected.
Once in Liaoning, when I was half way through my
lecture, some people lifted a stroke patient onto the
80
81
Approved For Release 2081/03/07 :"CIA-RDP96-00792R000300430003-5

platform and asked me to treat him. I do not
demonstrate or treat anybody when I am lecturing. If I
had treated him, his signals would have been released
and the audience could have been harmed. This is beside
the fact that diseases such as cerebral thrombosis take
quite a long time to be cured. Qigong can shorten the
course of treatment, but cannot give instant results.
¡
Pursuing only one's own interests without caring
about others is not proper character. From the cases I
have handled, those who obtained good results from
Qigong treatments have a high level of understanding.
This understanding means proper character and
sensitivity. One should always act with proper character.
Qigong masters must emphasize virtues and
so must scientific researchers. If one is most
concerned with acquiring fame when doing
experiments, and does not consider the needs of
participating Qigong masters or of people with
extraordinary functions, the experiments will
hardly be successful.
During the past few years, some Qigong masters
have worked with scientists, doing experiments. When
the experiments were done, major credit was given to the
scientific research department even though Qigong
masters or persons with extraordinary functions had used
their gong. I think it was not proper that the credit for
the achievement went to the research department. In
fact, the experiments were done through the cooperative
effort of all. The Qigong Scientific Research Association
should work hard on this issue. It is much better that
the Association has its own experiments.
Qigong emphasizes virtue. During the Qigong
experiments, the masters must emphasize virtue and so
must the researchers. If one completes the experiment,
writes the report and publishes papers without giving
credit to the participating masters or people with
extraordinary functions, the experiments will hardly be
successful. It may be successful this time but not next
time. Some researchers cooperate with Qigong masterg
during the experiment and when it is successfully done
they get promoted and win awards. Meanwhile the
master's name does not appear and his contribution is no
credited. The next time, the master will not cooperate
with their experiments.
Recently, I worked on experiments with
th
Qinghua (Tsinghua) University, Beijing University and
Academia Sinica.
The Qigong Scientific Resear@
Association cannot claim the results by themselves
because instruments of others were used. It does not
matter to me if my name appears on the paper, but the
insisted that my name be added to the last position, and
I agreed to this.
But, in consideration of the Qigong cause, Qigon
experiments in which the Qigong master has to emit
are not usual scientific experiments. When publishing
papers such as these, it may not be proper to place the
master's name last. Some will go so far as to say that not
crediting masters and people with extraordinary functions
is like relegating them to the role of experimental
animals. This is even more improper.
One research scientist of the Institute of High
Energy Physics has made some good comments. He saad
that Qigong research cannot be treated as ordinary
research, in that it is the Qigong master who plays the
leading role and the scientists who play supporting roles,
not the other way around. This view is a better measure
of the Qigong master's actual contribution.
The instruments I used in the experiment belong to
Qinghua University. Personally, I do not pursue famste.
Fame is false and useless. But some of my actions should
83
82
"Release 2091703/07 <CTA-RER96.00792RG00360835003-5-

not be falsely interpreted as pursuit of fame. Researchers
have their conceptions and customary way of doing
things. Therefore, I met overwhelming difficulties when
I was doing experiments at Qinghua University. I had
decided to do experiments at the most respected colleges
in order to regain the reputation of Qigong. While
realizing that some people were very opposed, by doing
experiments under the scientists' very noses, I determined
to go against pressure and do the experiments at higher
institutions.
If Qigong experiments are conventionally designed,
without considering Qigong's own rules, there will be
problems and the experiment will not succeed. I put out
a lot of effort which took a heavy toll, in order to make
the scholars at Qinghua University understand and
believe that Qigong experiments are different from
conventional ones. It turned out that we cooperated very
well and the experiments were all very successful.
Since I have had successful experiments recently
and this was reported by many newspapers and
magazines at home and abroad, I find it hard to live with
my reputation. I do not seek fame, but I became famous,
which I find burdensome. My energy is limited. I
sincerely hope that more Qigong masters come forward to
replace me. I also hope that those who have attended my
lecture have achieved some gong so that we all do good
deeds.
In summary, there are many aspects to an
emphasis on virtue.
The Qigong masters should
emphasize virtue and so should patients and scientists.
It is said that one research institute has done research on
extraordinary functions for several years with no results.
When the head of the institute criticized his staff, the
involved people would not heed him. They were not open
to this extraordinary subject and did not fully understand
that they were not considering the people with
i
-
:
extraordinary functions as researchers too. They were
studying extraordinary people, but they were still using
their own conventional methods.
--
---
Only the people with extraordinary functions
clearly understand how they apply gong to the projects?
and only they, therefore, have a clear understanding of
whether a design is scientific or not. However, when they
gave suggestions for modifying the design of the
experiment, they were told that they were not precise of
they were ignored. The researchers really tried to set uf
a precise design according to ordinary conventions, bus
extraordinary function people do not approach designe
according to conventional wisdom.
The main point is that Qigong emphasizes virtue,
which all people should attend to.
6) Unfavorable Qigong Reactions
Dr. Yan Xin
The preparation necessary for this Qigong lecture is to b
calm, have peace of mind, good spirit and no fear.
To
Qigong, one should be tranquil, relaxed, and in a natural posture
in order to regulate one's mind, breathing and body.
After becoming more familiar with Qigong, remembe
that this is an internal Qigong for maintaining health, preventing
and treating diseases. This is apart from promoting longevity.
improving work quality and tapping potential awareness arff
wisdom.
Beyond personal growth and the bettering of one's own
health, Qigong may also improve the health of the whole family
Therefore, the trainee should wish, subjectively, both before are
while doing Qigong, to protect self, others and property. Doing
this may strengthen favorable reactions.
However, trainees should not strive for reactions in haste.
If there is no reaction, this is normal, too. Whether or not there
are reactions, just let things go their natural course.
85

Approved For Release 2001206/07 : CIA-RDP96-00792R000300430003-5

i'ne trainee and the family must understand that all
reactions to Qigong are normal because Qigong is energy which
sooner or later incites the bioenergy of the participant. The
effects are varied and the reactions are diverse. The family
should remember that Qigong's spontaneous movements are not
symptoms of any deviation or illness.
Director Zhao broke in and said, "After listening to
your lecture with bioenergy, most people have good
reactions; some have illness cured; some have extra-
sensory perception evoked. However, a few people
feel upset and depressed. How and what should we do
to help them?"
Yan Xin replied:
Some have good effects and they can keep on doing their
Qigong. Those who have good effects probably have some
fundamental experience in Qigong and probably have a good
disposition. It is also more likely that they are in fairly good
health and are on good terms with their families.
In my personal opinion, reactions to Qigong, whether good
or bad are the normal Qigong phenomena. When unfavorable
reactions do occur, try to adjust to them with good resolve and
a positive attitude. It is acceptable to have unfavorable effects
and feel uncomfortable, upset, depressed, and have spontaneous
movements for a long time.
Those who have unfavorable effect and abnormally long
spontaneous movement times may be discontent and have mental
discord. Possibly they are rather pessimistic and may lack family
support. Their mental discord and pessimism may be provoked
by family or work environments. It may also be that those with
unsettled inner mental conflict have not prepared themselves
properly to regulate any emerging reactions.
On the other hand, the participant may have quite a good
foundation in Qigong, but may also have family members who
are ill. Naturally, the participant may use this occasion to
86
release bioenergy to cure family illness, and will consequently
have longer spontaneous movement times.
As the member tries to cure personal and family
disorders, they will reflect on his body and make him very sisk.
This is similar to a person with a cold making himself sweat.
Sweating is uncomfortable, but after a sweat, the fever subsides
and the person is comfortable. Even tranquilizers may make one
thirsty, hard to waken, and uncomfortable after wakening, so, de
member and his family should view Qigong responses as normal.
R060309490803-5
Qigong benefits the whole family through the strong
electromagnetic field created by one member. Howeverga
family concerned about long spontaneous movement times noly
impede the member's ability to relax, be calm and be in good
humor, important requirements for Qigong. Therefore, they my
escalate the distress of the member.
Unfavorable effects and long spontaneous movement tings
are also stimulated by inner conflict, or conflict with family and
friends. Long movement times are needed to cure this disordea.
This should be seen as a beneficial phenomenon, but, again, df
family sees it as an abnormality, the member's discord and
discomfort increases.
A trainee may also be uncomfortable if extra-senso
perceptions are incited by Qigong. One may react to the illness
of others and feel comparable pain. Perhaps one will be sensitiv
to infra-sonic waves, acquire clair-audience or even comprehend
what others think. The ability to do what one has never done!
before, such as hearing the thoughts of others in one's ears of@
even one's abdomen, may make a trainee uncomfortable.
Besides reacting to others' illness or hearing others!
thoughts, one may have light flashes in sensitive body points, thamL

surroundings seem to change, for example, tall buildings are seen
as flat land and flat land as a dome. When hallucinating like
this, one is probably acquiring an extremely powerful bioenergy
However, at the time this could be disturbing.

Some do not believe in Qigong, but are just curious. It
makes no difference whether people earnestly believe, or whether
there are psychological influences. However, if people practice
Qigong without believing, a response will startle them and their
reactions will naturally be stronger.
In fact, participants who have strong reactions are at an
advantage, and are able to produce more effective energy after
guidance and instruction. They are the lucky ones. The ancients
called them the predestined ones, but now we say it is 'a good
opportunity' for mastering Qigong, for their energy can be better
cultivated and brought out for use.
According to Internal Qigong, strong reaction to Qigong
comes not from a master's but from the participant's own body.
Very often the participant has potential for high quality Qigong.
High quality energy potential in the person's body is cultivated
by the internal and external factors of the body doing Qigong.
Even if there are no strong reactions, the lucky ones who
have high quality energy potential, can be trained to display this
energy under certain conditions. Sometimes 'evil factors', such
as sorrow, unfair treatment, guilty conscience, dissatisfaction, or
conflicts in a home, can also incite high quality energy.
Those who are willing to learn Qigong should not complain
about a strong response to Qigong, especially when the
spontaneous movements drag on for too long. Those who
strongly react to Qigong will better benefit, as will their families.
That is, their own illness and that of the family will undoubtedly
be cured.
Because they have not properly prepared their mind
before doing Qigong, a small number of participants cannot settle
down for a while after doing Qigong and this is a common
phenomena. We must not consider any movement that takes
longer to stop as a symptom of schizophrenia.
In some ways the spontaneous movements of Qigong are
similar to symptoms of schizophrenia. However, schizophrenics
incurred their disorder unintentionally during a distorted emotion
or mood that incited them to become over-stressed or over-tensed
88
with rage or anger. This was the onset of their psychosis, but
the main cause is a genetic code that carries the disorder.
Anyone claiming that spontaneous movement will cause
psychosis is not medically knowledgeable. Science has proven"
that psychosis is inherited, not acquired, and when it is inherited
sooner or later the disease will occur. Genetic factors, rather
than any external inducements, play the decisive role i
schizophrenia. It is not able to be contracted, and cannot be
induced by the spontaneous movements of Qigong.
Unlike a psychotic, a Qigong participant who has
spontaneous movement during practice, can easily regulate
himself to gradually stop the movements with the ending
exercise. Unlike the psychotic's unintentional movements, the
Qigong participant practices with a strong wish, clear intention,
and definite purpose.
Furthermore, the actions, speech, and thoughts of the
schizophrenic are often baffling. He does not know how to
protect himself, is usually not rational, and is often not able to
remember anything afterwards. It is also very difficult for family.
members to help him calm down. Usually this takes long
treatment with large doses of tranquilizers or electrotherapy both
of which can make him inert and passive. However, a
schizophrenic cannot be expected to calm down himself after any
movement.
I think Qigong is good therapy for treating psychosis and
if one has that hereditary tendency, it is better to learn Qigonga
before the tendency unfolds. After the onset of illness, the
situation is more serious and a Qigong cure more difficult. A
least it is much better to learn Qigong and try to cure the disease
with it than to not know Qigong at all.
Treatment is easier if the schizophrenic has strong
confidence and is eager to cure the illness. Of course, the person
needs the support of family. If the family is empathetically
supportive and provides a place of safety in warm and friendly
surroundings, Qigong practice will certainly help this condition.
If the schizophrenic has good intent in learning Qigong
89
Approved For Release 2001/03/07 : CIA-RDP96-00792R600300430003-5"

and a spontaneous movement occurs, this is also a good sign. It
means the illness has intentionally been brought out for
treatment. Long spontaneous movement times may be needed to
bring about a cure in the same way that longer movement times
may be needed for other illnesses.
Early medical science did not understand psychosis, and
Qigong was not as popular then. Quite a number of patients with
mental disease or psychosis were in mental hospitals. The main
problems of these patients were caused by unresolved mental
discord, severe stress, or abuse.
The spontaneous movements incited in doing Qigong are
not induced by genetic factors. They can be stopped by the
methods mentioned above or by a Qigong master, a participant
with a better foundation, or by family members with moral and
mental conviction. Of course, the best is for the person to self
regulate movement through strict adherence to the Qigong
requirements and regulations mentioned earlier.
In a word, spontaneous movement, unlike schizophrenic
movement, can be stopped eventually either quickly or more
gradually. After movements stop, the person would be normal
We must never confuse this movement with that caused by
schizophrenia.
Qigong participants certainly know how to settle their
mental conflicts, solve their problems, or do the practice with
peace of mind. I would like to emphasize here that they are
willing to do Qigong on their own accord. Their practice is
based on their understanding of Qigong principles and they aspire
to cultivate their mind, spirit, and character.
The ancient Qigong masters openly stated that anyone
wanting to learn Qigong and cultivate potential energy for use
must be morally strict, able to stand abuses, wrongs, conflicts
and suppression. They said, "TAO=Qigong will not be sold for
one thousand ounces of gold." In modern terms, the master
would not teach Qigong for a million dollars, but would choose
an apprentice by his moral character.
90
The master would tell the prospective apprentice to do
good deeds for the community and to do no evil for at least two
years before he could be accepted. The test might go on for ten
years before the apprentice was entrusted with something to incite
his inner energy, and for thirty years before instruction in the
insight and secret to success in Qigong.
Sometimes after thirty years, the master might find the
the apprentice was deferential to his own grandparents but not
others, and had even repressed other old folks. The mast
would, in the end, refuse to accept the Qigong apprentice
because evil deeds carry evil portents that would interfere w
cultivating potential energy. No master would take
unqualified apprentice.
Correct attitudes toward Qigong are mostly found
groups that are earnest in learning Qigong and believe to
Qigong is the best regimen for maintaining health, preventing
illness and promoting longevity. These groups do not just blindry
believe but are conscientiously probing into the essence of
Qigong.
Only by teaching Qigong to those near us can we expect
their sympathetic support and full cooperation. For example, oge
may lose something or have something brought to him. Tais
could be training in mental transport. However, one must study,
be objective, and try to readjust when such events occor.
Therefore, to better understand Qigong theories and practice it
would be helpful if family, friends, and coworkers also know
Qigong.
I want to emphasize here that Qigong is scientific in that
it consists of substantial energy that can cultivate a powerful
essence to cure diseases. Both those who believe and those who
blindly believe should study Qigong thoroughly, for they ngay
one day have reactions to it themselves.
Anyone doing Qigong should know that Qigong evces
or incites the participant's bioenergy. Therefore, in a Qigung
state, one may have clair-audience, clair-voyance, hallucination,
or other kinds of thoughts. These reactions are termed
91
001/03/07 : CIASRPR96 00792R00038043008365

SIGNALS.
Qigong participants should be strict and careful in
selecting good signals, before, during, or after, the Qigong
practice. Select whatever is beneficial and good for the safety and
security of human life and property. Anything beneficial to the
life, health, or property of self or others, is a good signal.
But a good signal is only a reference, not an actual order.
Beginners cannot do whatever the signal suggests, for their
bioenergy has not yet reached a mature state. Some people, in
a Qigong state ready to do spontaneous movements, may easily
receive encouraging signals of others around them, or signals
which may be their own past wish to do good and help others.
These reflected signals must not be followed for one's bioenergy
needs a long time of strict training before it can be applied for
curing others.
Anything that harms the health, life, or property of self
or others, is a bad signal. All bad signals must be discarded and
never be followed nor even referred to. A person in poor spirits,
either before or after learning Qigong, may attempt to jump from
an upper floor. Maybe there was a hallucination that the building
was flat ground. Sometimes when engrossed in thought while
walking, one will not see a car or hear its horn and possibly
cause an accident.
Whether doing Qigong or not, it is very important to
discard all signals that may harm oneself or others. This is what
we mean by selecting good signals. Only when we pay more
attention to good signals, can we discard correctly the evil or
wrong signals and avoid any uncertain or harmful effects brought
about by the spontaneous movements.
Incidentally, let me remind us here, always choose a place
that is safe for doing Qigong. For instance, close the windows
when doing it on an upper floor and never do it on the upstairs
balcony.
After one learns Qigong, it is important, first, to select all
the good signals. Second, one must do good to others. All
Qigong participants must resolve to extend friendship to others
and above all, to win over one's enemies with earnest love and
forgiveness. In ancient times, a slogan for good Chinese soldiers
was that, for settling border fights with bandits, the skill of
killing was not as powerful as the attack of the heart. The attac
of the heart conquers by making friends of adversaries.
Qigong practitioners must not seek revenge against anyos
who has wronged them or is not on good terms with them. Of
can never intend to hurt oneself or others in doing Qigong.
personally think this is exactly a right attitude to take.
The &
Qigong masters always warned us, saying, 'Any harm one does
to others will fall back on oneself."
There was a kind of Qigong, called 'taking off
clothing of a beautiful lady.' If anyone tried to do this, the lag
who came would be a close relative, usually a mother, sister,
daughter ... and in the end there would be tragedy. So, it is trie
that when one intends to harm others, one will finally suff
himself.
"Always do good to others and never harbor an e
thought." Only in this way, can we select good signals. That is
the knack of doing Qigong. I think it is also the knack of der
successful life, work, and study. Qigong will produce
electromagnetic field which can help others, first our flesh ams
blood, then our friends and neighbors. Sometimes, the peorg
who pass by will also be benefited.
Laotze used to say, "The administration of the Great To

All Qigong participants are duty-bound to educate, inspire, and
enlighten others with their life, speech, and conduct, according
to the demands of Qigong, so that their neighbors and friends
understand and join Qigong.

7) Eighty Characters
The Gist of Qigong Training
Dr. Yan Xin
My thirty years' experience in Qigong training is summed up
in a poem of eighty characters with four verses, four lines in a
verse and five characters in a line.
1. aspiration, interest, endurance, advantage, commitment
In brief, have lofty aspiration when doing Qigong. Feel a
sense of being in a boundless, spacious openness. Cultivate
interest in it, and dare to endure all hardship encountered in the
process of learning. Furthermore, make efforts to discover the
advantageous effects of training and commit them to practice.
Qigong is a worthy career undertaking. Never treat it as a
pure pasttime, if you have nothing else to do. In this case, the
practice will do you harm, for it does not conform with Qigong
theory.
2. preparation, understanding, persistence, awareness, virtue
anadiddy
Emphasize the word BEFORE, and do Qigong before all
matters, before one's life time, before a day, before an event, so
as to understand the mystery of doing Qigong 24 hours a day. By
doing this, one is sure to regulate the movement of internal and
external bioenergy in oneself and in one's surroundings.
In order to master the essence of Qigong, one mast
continually persist and never grow inattentive to learning. Ein
addition, always be on the alert for sensitive points in oneself and
one's environment.
Anyone learning Qigong should hold fast to the protection
of high moral principles. Respect others and always do goodgo
others by all means, on any account, anywhere, any time.
3. broad-mindedness, scholarship, Confucianism, Buddhism
Taoism
Have noble conduct, be broad-minded and generous in
respects while learning Qigong. Study further to acquire mor
profound Qigong learning, or it will be difficult to advance
Qigong feats and theory.
Refer to the classics of Confucianism, Buddhism and Taoism
as a guide to Qigong, so as to better comprehend the knowledge
and principles of Qigong. (Taoist Qigong is thought to be off
native Qigong. In fact, Taoist Qigong existed before Taoism.
served as the regimen for maintaining and improving health, arg
as a measure in disease prevention and recovery.)
4. respect, research, route, teacher, timesaving
Respect everyone in one's family or surroundings while
striving to succeed in Qigong. One must respect the teacher qf
master sincerely in thought, word, and action, but certainly not
with the courteous tribute of burning incense or kou tou (kneeling
with forehead touching the ground.)
Who is to be the master? Everyone is a master. All things on
earth can be masters, including animals, plants, and minerals
which have some functional energy that one's body may need.
There are signals of masters in the upper space of the universe.

If one has superb skill in Qigong, it will be easy to find a master.
Master means teacher, but should also mean one well
admired and respected by the public, or it will be difficult to take
up the teaching responsibility. A Chinese verse by Lu You says,
"What we get from your writings on paper is rather superficial.
We know the subject needs to be treated with respect."
But, obedience is better than respect; sincerity is better
than obedience; self-confidence is better than sincerity. It is
difficult for a master to find an eligible apprentice who has these
complete qualities.
The route means all sects or groups of learning, for every
school has its own way and every way, its own school. The day
may come when three Chinese religions merge into one and five
religions merge into the ancestral clan system. But until then, one
begins to learn Qigong at the threshold of one of the schools or not
at all. Do not criticize this school or that school, for another
school may be better than yours. Attend instead to the state and
moral conduct of a Qigong participant.
These first four lines are intended to lead you to find a
timesaving shortcut. Never go a roundabout way!
5. difficulty, ease, is, not, self
It is difficult to learn Qigong, but after overcoming the
difficulty, it will then be easy. In Chinese, the word EASY not
only implies 'not difficult', but also means 'to change'. After
overcoming difficulty, one feels it easy; one is changed. When
undergoing difficulty, one is no longer the same person.
--
6. intention, in, negative, positive, difference
Anything we do, we intend to do with our heart and mind.
We also do Qigong intentionally, but we usually get the effect or
success unintentionally. An unintentional effect eventually leads
to success, so one may say from nothing to something.
So, intention makes a difference. Success, however, comes
unintentionally. It is a kind of state or condition. We must see
the difference.
7. character, life, advantage, joy, right
A period of training in Qigong will cultivate one's character
and life so as to integrate one's essence, bioenergy, and spiri
One's heart, mind, and personality will change for the better
There will be apparent improvement in health and steadfastnes
and an enhancement in wit and wisdom so as to bring success &
one's efforts.
One will help others and find joy in seeing them prosper. The
enjoyment may extend to helping other living things by promoting
and maintaining the ecological balance of the universe. One's ski
in Qigong will naturally rise as one follows this 'right way'.
the otherhand, skill in Qigong cannot improve if one has net
cultivated one's character and life while learning Qigong.
8. living, life, love, words, praises
A Qigong participant should have a correct perception
life and death. When one is not self-centered in life, one will
be afraid of death.
When one understands the true meaning of living and dying
one's life philosophy will reflect that transcendence. One will
possess true love for all mankind and the universe, help others
sincerely and put in a good word for anyone who needs help.

As one becomes more interested in the life of other
personal, selfish desires decrease. Qigong feats will improve
desire for praise will be lost, and above all, selfish concern fo
personal life and death will be discarded.
-----
Eventually, one comes to realize, no pain no gain;
gains without pains. Success in Qigong means deserting whatever
brings personal advantage, fame and wealth. For with too mud
interference by these things, one cannot expect to attain high level
Qigong skills, including the skill that helps to prolong life.

9. method, foundation, consolidation, transformation, return
There are certain methods for learning Qigong, although no
one method evolves constantly without modification. As a
beginner, however, one needs to learn the rudiments of one
method continuously from beginning to end. Above all, it is
essential, to sense the subtlety of Qigong.
In advanced stages, ten thousand methods will either merge
into one, or into the ancestral clan system. In fact, the methods
actually merge with the body's most refined substances, such as
the body itself or the body's functional energy. Methods or laws
are rather fluid, not structured and restructured.
The body is the Qigong foundation from which one builds,
therefore, it must first be cured of disease in order to have a good
foundation for advanced learning. In the process of learning,
consolidated and accumulated bioenergy is eventually transformed
and returned, as the body's extrasensory perception.
10. theory, training, essence, bioenergy, spirit
The theory of Qigong is to train the essence of the body, and
transform the essence into bioenergy; train the bioenergy, and
transform the bioenergy into spirit, etc. Qigong training teaches
the participant, using concrete, demonstratable methods. The idea
is to practice the movement of body bioenergy, and temper it
repeatedly to become pure, powerful energy for curing disease.
The method varies in detail with every step, and at each
step, the master discards the excess and selects the essential. The
higher the step, the more refined the acquired substance. The
high quality final substance which Chinese call DAN, collects in
three regions (the lower abdomen, the central chest and the middle
forehead.) Participants concentrate on these points during practice.
11. regulation, exercise, accumulation, control, change
-
98
These are Qigong's concrete training methods, from beginning
to end. One learns to regulate the body's functional energy, then
to practice the movement, collection and accumulation of
bioenergy, and finally, to transform bioenergy into useful high
quality energy.
12. Yin, Yang, prenatal, post-natal, class
According to Qigong, the universe and all living things
ge
either Yin or Yang. Yin and Yang include everything under Be
sun, organic or inorganic. The coexistence of these two entities
exists everywhere in mankind and nature, including the exteroal
and internal parts of the body. This coexistence provides Qigong
with unlimited potential for unsurpassed feats.
In Qigong, we practice Yin and then Yang, or substance &
d
then function. By training Yang, one accumulates substance in
Yin. When one practices both Yin and Yang, one trains oneself.
In Taoist Qigong, the spirit of Yin represents genetic codesof
the mother and sisters, and Yang those of the father and brothers.
The spirit of Yang represents the ideological thinking of one's own
cerebrum. Today, we call the four spirits the ideological thinking
code system.
Through Qigong training, one adds to the prenatal genetic code
by acquiring as much post-natal knowledge, wit and poweras
possible, so that personal potential power can be enlarged and
strengthened. Qigong's three skill classes are the elementary,
intermediate, and the advanced. One should train and strive-gor
the advanced class.

13. mathematics, technique, fix, root, through
When one advances to the highest technique, the mathematical
laws of life span and other mathematical laws become apparent.
Qigong technique has special mathematical principles and Qigang
training is the application of those methods. The technique is
closely related to the methods.
99

Three schools, Confucianism, Buddhism, and Taoism have
different techniques and therefore different skills to express
through the gestures of their hands. Every kind of gesture,
posture, and expression represents a special skill.
While doing Qigong, try to fix in one's body, the picture,
pattern, or image that appears internally and externally. One
should make up one's mind to practice Qigong, and in practicing,
should strive to get the six roots vibrate and six roots through.
'Six through', the highest skill of all, allows use of all one's
potential bioenergy.
14. extreme, void, mysterious, miraculous, mind
When one thinks one's skill is extremely good, others will say
there is no extremity, for there are always some who are better.
When it is very good, it is wiser to say one's skill is not extremely
good.
When one's Qigong skill is extremely good, one enters the
sphere of void. For instance, to the advanced Qigong master,
mental transport of substance is from void to void. To others, this
is very mysterious and full of wonder, but nothing is mysterious
or miraculous to the master who understands these things.
15. open, closed, often, study, real
Applying bioenergy to treat the sick is on or off, like a control
valve. When a man of virtue comes by, the valve immediately
opens. When a man of evil heart passes, the valve closes because
the signals are different. The two cannot have the same reaction.
The kind hearted man who honors his parents will have
better effect and will be easier to treat with the high technique of
the Qigong master. Even when able to move bioenergy with
regulated or automatic control, one still must study hard until the
technique of treating the sick is very high and efficient, so that a
Qigong doctor is good in reality, not just in name.
16. puzzles, assessment, wonderful, able, true or succeed
After gaining automatic control in applying bioenergy to treat
the sick, one should study further until able to solve all Qigong's
mysteries. One is able to teach Qigong only as one's ability to
assess people commences. Without that ability, one's teaching Will
be unclear and puzzling. If able to enlighten people, one gan
contribute bioenergy to mankind and to the whole universe.
Vesth
such miraculous skill and energy, one will certainly
Éke
wonderful contributions. Only at this stage has one succeededor
reached the complete state of Qigong accomplishment.
The whole poem of eighty characters also emphasizes he
word 'reality'. Qigong training leads to the real attainmer
of
perfect and favorable health, mind, skill and power. Qigor? is
real, not imagination or wishful fantasy.

Chapter 3
Scientific Research Theses
1) The Effect of Qi on the Half-life of
Radioactive Isotope Am-241*
Lu, Z.Y., Zhang, T.B., Wang, H.D., Zhu, R.S., Yan, X.
Abstract
As a fundamental fact of nuclear physics, the half-life of any
radioactive isotope cannot be affected by any physical factors in
general. Thus it is very interesting to observe whether it can be
affected by Qi.
In our experiment, an a radioactive source Am-241 (half-life
458 years) of strength 2uC was used as the test sample. Am-241
emits an a particle and transforms to Np-237, the latter emits a
y photon in 6 x 108 seconds. During the transform, Y photons of
energy 59.6 keV are detected by a high purity germanium
detector then registered by an on-line 8000 channel buffer. This
spectrometer system is very stable; the gain drift is less than
0.06% in 24 hours.
In this experiment, we used two Am-241 sources which have
almost the same strength, 2uC. One (source A) was used for
accepting Qi emitted by Dr. Yan, another as the control measure
(source B). The source A was put on a table in a room which is
10 meters away from the lab, Dr. Yan emitted Qi towards the
source for 20 minutes, then the source was sent back to the lab
and measured.
Since September, 1987, we have done the similar experiment
6 times, Dr. Yan has emitted Qi 40 times. We got obvious and
surprising results, especially with the data of the third experiment.
In that experiment Dr. Yan emitted Qi towards the test source 5
102
times. The decay-counting rate dropped after each time, the first
drop was about 1.05%. Since the system error, including 0.1% of
the estimate error from counting 1 million times, the result is of
high confidence. The decay-counting rate of source B did changeo
during the experiment (see Fig.1).
We measured source A after each testing day. The result
indicated that the decay-counting rate of source A returned to its
previous rate in, at most, 11 days (see Fig.2).
When Dr. Yan emitted Qi in other cities, one about 2,000
kilometers away from the lab, the change of the decay-counting
rate was tremendous, about 10%.
We could not say that the Qi had changed the decay counting
rate of radioactive isotope Am-241, so we designed another
experiment, in which we used another high purity germaniun
detector to test the y photon strength from the back of source Ad
If the nuclear decay rate changed, then the rate detected in frong
of the source and in back of the source should be increasing o
decreasing at a certain proportion. The results did not have
simple proportion relation, but did show that the y photon had
different characteristics in different directions, similar to &
polarized radioactive source.
It is necessary to do more research on this abnorma
phenomenon. The decay rate of a radioactive element can not b
changed by physical and chemical factors in general. In this
experiment, there were no other factors which could change the
decay rate. One extra condition was that Dr. Yan emitted Qi from
a distance of about 2,000 kilometers.
When Dr. Yan emitted Qi from a short distance, the larges%
change was 1.35%, but when Dr. Yan emitted Qi 2,000 km away
the change was as high as 10%.

2) The Effect of Qi on the Polarized Plane
of a Laser Beam
Yan, X., Lu, Z.Y., Yan, S.X., Li, S.P.
Abstract
The aim of this experiment was to observe the effect of Qi ono
the orientation of the polarized plane of a laser beam emitted
from an inner cavity He-Ne laser.
The experimental setup is shown in Fig.1. A plane of glass
was placed 20 cm away from the laser. The angle between the
normal of the glass plane and the laser beam was set equal to the .
Brewster angle of the glass (approx. 57º). At this angle only the
component of the beam which was perpendicular to the grounds
(Ip) could be reflected by the glass. The reflected beam was
accepted by a Si photocell. The photocurrent was recorded by arg
autobalancing recorder.
Another Si photocurrent was placed 10 cm away from the ende
of the laser tube to monitor the stability of the output intensity of
the laser.
Let the angle between the polarized plane of the laser beam
and the ground be 0, when the polarized plane rotates through an-
angle 40 under the action of Qi, the change of Ip is then
ΔΙp = 2 I SineCosΘΔΘ,
where I is the beam intensity. From AIp, 40 can be deduced.

the lab. The door of the lab was locked, and the apparatus
worked automatically.
From Dec. 1986 to Jan. 1987, two sets of experiments
were done. In the first set, Dr. Yan emitted Qi 7 km away
from the laser lab, and the second set 2,000km away.
Three apparent results were obtained in the 7 km Qi
emission experiment. Fig.2 shows an example. During the
55 minute Qi emission, the originally stable Ip showed
fluctuations 10 times. The fluctuation stopped when Dr. Yan
stopped emitting Qi.
Two apparent results were obtained in the 2,000 km Qi
emission experiment. Fig.3 shows an example. Significant
fluctuation appeared after 20 minutes of Qi emission. The
fluctuation was modified by a series of ripples which we
had never before seen in any laser experiment. This new
phenomenon can not be explained by any reasons other
than the effect of Qi.
These experiments gave evidence that the orientation of
the polarized plane of the laser beam emitted from a inner
cavity He-Ne laser, and hence the state of the laser, can be
affected by Qi emitted from a long distance.
It must be mentioned that these were the first
experiments in Qigong scientific research with remote Qi
emission.

3) The Effects of Qi on Biomolecules
Yan, X., Lu, Z.Y.
Abstract
Three experiments were done to study the effects of Qi on
biomolecules.
1. The Raman spectroscopy studies of tap water, saline and
glucose solution.
Giant peak ranges from 1000 cm1 to 3000 cm-1 with
maximum at 1970 cm-1 were observed in the Raman spectrum of
tap water after the Qi treatment. The water treated by Qi is called
the information water in Qigong theory.
--
The characteristic peak of saline treated by Qi water shifted
from 246 cm-1 to 233 cm-1 or disappeared, and retained the new
characteristic at least 2 days.
The peaks at 710 cm-1 and 1240 cm-1 in the Raman spectrum
of glucose solution disappear after the treatment of Qi but the
peak at 2900 cm1 is enhanced significantly and retains the new
characteristic at least 2 days.
These experimental results showed that all the samples
underwent some structure changes after being treated by Qi.
2. The phase behavior of liposomes.
Differential scanning calorimetric technique (DSC) was used
for measuring the phase behavior of DPPC (dipalmitoyl
phosphatidic choline) liposomes after they were treated by Qi.
The measurement showed a significant endothermic drop at 46-
48℃ besides the original phase transition at 41.5℃.
3. The hyperchromatic effect of Qi on DNA and RNA.
The ultra-violet absorption curve of DNA from bovine thymus
has a characteristic peak at 157 nm. It was observed that the
absorption increased to 2.3% to 4.3% just after the DNA sample
was treated by Qi and 45 minutes later.
A second Qi treatment to the DNA sample was given. Just
after the Qi treatment, no change in absorption was observed, but
it had increased to 12% 9 hours and 10 minutes later.
The sample of yeast RNA showed a similar hyperchromatic
effect after the Qi treatment.

4) The Effects and Posteffects of Qi on the Perfume
components of a Flower Extract
Yanı, X., Lu, Z.Y., Wang, Y.H.
Abstract
1. Some Qigong masters can change the smell and taste
of wine and tea by treating them with Qi. To verify this
phenomenon, a gas chromatometer was used to analyze the
perfume components of a flower extract before and after Qi
treatment. The Qi was emitted by the famous Qigong
master Dr. Xin Yan from Hongkong, but the sample and the
chromatometer are in Beijing.
After Dr.Yan emitted Qi from Hongkong towards the
sample in the lab in Beijing, it was found that the peak at
Tr .= 1.358 disappeared and a new peak appeared at
Tr .= 8.643 in the chromatogram. But for a second sample
treated with Qi on the next day, the height of the peak at
Tr .= 1.358 changed to 20 times higher than that before the Qi
treatment.
It is obvious that the perfume components of the flower
extract were actually changed by Qi.
2. Some Qigong masters believe that the effects of Qi can
be long-term. To examine this, we followed the change of
the chromatogram of two samples for 163 days and three
samples for 194 days. It was found that the height of the
peak at Tr .= 3.517 (peak No.3) greatly decreased after Qi
treatment, it continuously decreased for several days and
finally the whole peak vanished. Qi kept affecting these
samples after it was emitted. The vanished peak, no.3,
which did not reappear, indicates that the structure
changes of the perfume components did not recover in the
test period.

5) A Method for Qi-field Detection
Yan, X., Wang, Y.L., Lu, Z.Y.
Abstract
Recently, several Qigong masters asserted that there
exists a Qi-field among the Qigong amateurs when they
practice Qigong or listen to lectures given by a Qigong
master. Hence, detecting the Qi-field by modern scientific
means is of interest.
On Oct.8, 1987, the most famous Qigong master, Dr. Xin
Yan, was giving a lecture about Qigong. One of the authors,
Dr. Yaolan Wang, carried 4 pieces of LiF hermoluminesence
detector(TLD), a kind of radiation dosimeter, to try to
detect the Qi-field. To our great surprise, the LiF TLD gave
very strong responses to Dr. Yan's Qi-field.

6) The Statistical Treatment of Experimental
Results in a Qigong Experiment

Abstract
J792R609300430003-5
From the statistical point of view, there are serious defectscin
most of the Qigong experiments, viz, the defect arises from
small sample size of the experiment and the defect arises fr
the unstable successive emission of Qi through the whole
experiment. Therefore, some people do not believe that valuale
results can be obtained from such experiments.
But if we investigate the problem carefully, we will find tha
all the Qigong experiments can be divided into two categorie
The experiments designed for discovering new Qigong effects
belong to the first category and those designed for finding the
laws behind the effects fall in the second category. Up to now,
most of the experiments belong to the first category.
Two different methods of statistical treatment are related
these two different categories. The method of significance test d
usually used in the treatment of the experimental result of the
first category. According to the level of significance of th
experimental event, one can easily discriminate the true Qigong
effect from the false appearance which arises from the
background fluctuation.
Let u be the average value measured of a physical quantity
If x obeys the normal distribution N(x: p, (2), where o is the
standard error of measurement, we have measured a value of
x*, which is significantly deviate from p. If we denote the Ixt
:
pl /o as the "significance" S, then we can say that the "level of
significance" of x* is a = N(S=x; 1, o2). The level of significance
describes the probability of producing this unusual event by the
background fluctuation only when there does not exist ang
condition to produce this unusual event. The lower the level of
significance, the higher the probable existence of a new
phenomenon.
The significance test requires a thorough knowledge of the

i
background, but it does not require a large sample size of the
events. A few events of sufficiently high significance (not
necessarily of the same height) is enough for us to assert that the
new phenomenon exists with high level of confidence.
This was the case in the Qigong experiment.
As an example, the experiment of observing the effect of Qi on
bovine thymus DNA is analyzed.

7) A Medically Scientific Study of Qigong Fast
.. .
Qigong can be used to change human behavior. Qigong
fasting (Bigu) is a striking example. The fast may be induced by
a Qigong master or may be self-induced. During the deprivation-
period, the faster drinks water and eats a very small amount of
vegetable or fruit, while continuing normal daily activities. A
typical case was investigated by scientists from a well-known
scientific institute and published in the Chinese Qigong Study.
6300430003-5
From August 13 to September 12, 1988, scientists and
medical doctors from China Institute of Military Medical Sciences
closely monitored a 13-year-old girl for 30 days. Her parents said
their daughter's fast, induced by a Qigong master, had so farg
continued for 300 days. The study was voluntary and painless,
and did not interfere with the lifestyle of the subject. Tests"
included a physical exam by Chinese and Western physicians,
with common laboratory tests, including blood, urine, endocrine,.
immune studies, X rays, nutritional analysis, IQ studies and other
special examinations. The results of clinical observation and
laboratory tests are listed below.
1. Food Intake
Over the 30-day period, average water intake was 984 mld
(33 oz.) per day. There were 4 times with no intake over 24
hours. Drinks included orange juice (Jula), diluted equally with
water, a little sugar water, and bottled, canned and packaged soft
drinks. Solid food, including candy, ice cream and hawthorn
pieces were eaten in small amounts. (This is consistent with
traditional Chinese medicine description of the Qigong fast, "very
little food intake and no cooked food intake".) All intake was
sampled and measured before consumption. Total intake was
converted to nutritional units of sugar or protein since fat intake
was negligible.

2. Nutritional Intake
Food samples and intake records were calculated.
Average daily energy intake was 300 k calories, which is 20% of
normal energy consumption. Average daily protein intake was
about 1 gram. Daily intakes of protein and necessary amino acids
were less than 2% of normal energy consumption. Intake of other
nutrients, such as vitamin B, C, and minerals were also much less
than normal requirements. It seems that there was no source of
fat soluble vitamins. Nutritionally, the girl was under incomplete
hunger status with severe energy and nutrient deficiency.
..
3. Metabolism
While resting, the oxygen consumption and carbon dioxide
production of the girl was less than 50% of same-age, same-sex
controls. The lowered metabolic rate is the body's mechanism to
save energy. However, her daily energy consumption was far
more than her recorded daily energy intake. (Theoretically, her
total consumption should be 1500 k calories, including 200 k
calories for resting metabolism and 1300 k calories for daily
activities.)
Average urine output was 656 ml per day. There were
four periods without urine output for longer than 24 hours. Urine
tests indicated that the daily nitrogen output was 2 g, but the
intake was less than 0.2 g, suggesting negative nitrogen balance.
Other elements in the urine were lower than normal, and again
the output was higher than the intake.
During the 30-day period there was only one bowl
movement, weighing 54 g. Input/output rates of both metabolism
and nutrition showed she put out more than she consumed.
4. Body Weight
Body weight decreased 4.4 Kg. during the 30-day
observation period. The predicted loss of body weight should be
a little more than 5 Kg, including 3.6 Kg fat catabolism
Predicted loss was based on calculation of energy metabolism and
negative nitrogen balance. The difference between predicted and
observed values could be due to a prediction method that did not
account for the reuse of catabolic products from fat and muscle
5. Homeostasis
All blood tests, including hemoglobin and red blood cef
count were normal or low normal. This suggests tha
hemopoiesis (formation of blood cells) was within normal limit
and that there was no anemia. Blood pH was also in the norma
range.
Concentrations of basic nutrients in plasma, including
glucose, protein, lipid, amino acids, minerals and trace elemente
were all in normal or low normal range. The activities of variou
plasma enzymes for biochemical metabolism remained normal.
The above observations indicate that the body was
hemostasis during the period of study.
6. Immune System
Plasma concentration of IgG (immunoglobulin type GS
was normal, however, the concentrations of IgA and IgM were a
few times higher than normal controls. The concentration of totaly
complement components was slightly lower than normal, butd
complement components 3 was higher than normal.
percentage of E-rosette cells (T cells) was normal, however, the
ratio of T and B cells was slightly lower than the controls.
The significance and prognosis of these immunological
changes is not clear. From clinical observation and review of her,
history, no obvious immunological deficiency could be identified.
7. Endocrine System
The concentration of plasma thyroid stimulating hormone
116
117
Approved For Release 2001/03/07 : CIA-RDF98-00F9ZR000300430603-5-

"Approved For Release 2001/03/07 : CIA-RDP96-00792R000300430003-5
(TSH) was in the normal range. Plasma thyroxine T4 was
normal, but T3 decreased in the late period of the observation.
This indicates that the production of thyroxine by the thyroid
gland was functional, however, the conversion of low-active
component to high-active component tended to decrease. This
might be the mechanism by which the basic metabolism rate was
decreased and energy consumption reduced.
The observed increased adrenaline in plasma is probably
related to the dominant catabolic status within the body.
Tests of female sex hormones in urine late in the
observation period indicated estrone and estradiol significantly
higher than controls, however, estriol in urine was always lower
than controls. The significance of this observation is not clear.
It is not certain whether these phenomena are related to the fact
that she had the first menstruation on the fifth day of observation.
The changes measured in the above tests suggest that the
endocrine system was involved in modulating the internal
environment to tolerate the fast status.
8. Clinical Examination
All examinations, including EKG, EEG, ultrasonography,
ultrasonic cardiography, and physical examination did not reveal
substantial abnormality. Elasticity of the skin was poor and the
diameter of the lower limbs gradually decreased, which is
consistent with poor nutritional condition.
The blood
microcirculation of conjunctiva and nails was slightly abnormal,
which is consistent with the clinical observation of cool limbs.
These indicate decreased blood microcirculation in skin and
epithelial tissue.
Clinical examination by traditional Chinese medicine
found slightly dry skin and hairs, slightly red tongue without teeth
marks, but with yellow and greasy fur on top, sour and foul
smelling breath, wiry thread-like pulse with less strength when
pressed heavily, cool hands and feet. Taken together, the
traditional Chinese medicine diagnosis was the symptom of
wetness and hotness within the spleen.
9. Body Energy
The record of daily activities showed potential body
energy when playing around or walking for a long distance
However, the girl does not like sports or outdoor activities. Late
in the investigation, she spent relatively longer time in bed and
felt tired often. Under 40 W and 60 W, exercise tolerance testo
changes in heart and lung function were significantly greater than
normal controls. She could not finish the test under 60 W load
condition. This demonstrated significantly decreased body energ&
compared to normal controls.
10. Digestive System
The frequency of peristaltic waves (stomach contractions
was within normal range when lying at rest, however, the overall
range was significantly lower than normal. In contrast to normal
controls, the range of stomach contractions did not change aftet"
drinking. This indicated decreased activity and response time for
the stomach and intestine.
Secretion of saliva induced by chewing movement was
significantly lower than for two young female controls.
secretion and enzymic activity of saliva diastases in unstimulated
condition were also slightly lower than those of the controls.
The digestive system was inhibited, which is consistent
with wasting change caused by long-term fast.
11. Respiration
Respiration index, carbon dioxide output over oxygen
consumption, (CO2/O2), was measured twice under resting
condition. The measured indices were 0.44 and 0.5, lower than
normal reference (0.7 and 1.0) and also lower than controls (two
females, 0.69 and 0.67, and two males 0.92 and 1.04).

Approved For Release 2001/03/07 : CIA-RDP96-00792R000300430003-5
At a low rate of O2 consumption, the output of CO2
decreased even more. This suggests inhibited glucose oxidation,
enhanced gluconeogenesis and increased fat metabolism.
--
12. Ketone Bodies
The 23 qualitative tests for ketone bodies in the urine
showed strong positive (4 times), medium positive (4 times), and
weak positive (15 times). Also, 6 quantitative tests for ketone
bodies in the urine were above the normal (50mg or less).
Maximum daily output of ketone bodies was 1 g.
Repeated positive outcomes of urine ketone bodies testing
were due to increased utilization of fat as an energy source. In
extreme hunger, blood ketones are considered a major energy
source for some organs when glycogen is used up and glucose
input is limited. This could be considered positive, however, not
all the tissues can utilize ketones as an energy source and their
increase can disrupt homeostasis. From the above tests, one can
not conclude that the increase of ketone bodies was a pathological
phenomenon.
Conclusion
These points are drawn from the study of this case:
1) Qigong fast (Bigu) exists, but not as a complete fast.
2) The young girl maintained essential life activity,
physiological homeostasis, normal life style and low physical
activity under severe energy and nutrient deprivation during this
30-day period. However, decreased body weight, low energy
levels, repeated positive urine ketone bodies and inhibited
digestive function were also observed.
3) Qigong fast over a period of time could cause lowered
metabolism and oxygen consumption rates in resting condition,
lowered concentration of T3 in the blood, decreased respiratory
index, significantly lowered energy and nutrient intakes, little or
no stool, lowered level of nutrient elements in urine, decreased
secretion of saliva and decreased enzymatic activity of saliva
diastases, lower range of stomach contractions and slowed
digestive response, decreased body weight, and increased ketone
bodies.
In summary, the above ratings can be considered a method
for preliminary evaluation of Qigong fasting. Of course, the
measure can be improved.
It is significant that essential body energy and normal life
activities were maintained for at least one month of Qigong
fasting. Influenced by Qigong, various approaches might be
involved to utilize energy efficiently, to save energy, and to
maintain normal body functions and low activity levels under
conditions of severe calorie and nutrition deprivation. This
information could be very important for disaster and military
medicine.
We suggest, however, that future study of Qigong fasting
be under the guidance of modern science and technology, with
careful research and data acquisition, before any conclusion can
be made. While it is too early to draw a final conclusion
regarding Qigong fasting (Bigu), the observation of some
abnormal symptoms in this case indicate that a long term of
calorie and nutrition deprivation might have a harmful effect on
young people or developing children. Therefore, we would hope
that this fast not be promoted among the young and that, among
adults, this fast be carried out under medical surveillance.

The scientific research of "Qigong" has shown that the
"human body can change property of matter by changing its
molecular structure without physical contact". Based on previous
studies, this study proposed the idea of using Qigong to change
the genetic property of microorganisms so that bacteria strain for
industrial purpose can be improved.
The fundamental feasibility research consisted of the
following three aspects:
1) Observation of the effect of Qigong treatment on
various biological macromolecule, especially on DNA, which
carried the genetic information
The experiment showed Qigong has effects on amino acid,
protein, RNA, and DNA. The Qigong treatment on fish sperm
DNA caused the intensity of the UV 257nm absorption peak to
change over 50%, and this change could be hypochromic or
hyperchromic, that is, the absorption peak shifted to either side
along 257nm.
2) Qigong treatment on bacteria
Experiment data showed that bacteria after treatment not
only changed bacteria survival rate but also accelerated the
growth rate.
3) Qigong treatment on industrial bacteria strain
..
Experiments showed that treatment enhanced the bacteria
growth and increased the production of fermentation. The main
features were:
(A) The bacteria strain showed very low turnover rate
after treatment, obviously different from the other classical
chemical, physical treatment methods.
(B) The strains became highly specific, and the
distribution spectrum was wider, thus, the time required to select
high-yield strain was shortened.
(C) The bacteria colony morphology was very normal after
treatment, this is different from the results of other treatments.
(4) This treatment did not pose health hazards to the
operator, and is environmentally safe.
(5) The bacteria growth rate was enhanced, fermentation
cycle was faster and production increased.
(6) The strain resistant to treatment in classical way
showed obvious improvement after the Qigong treatment.
(7) Genetic study showed the new strain from Qigong
treatment was very stable, with high yield.
The systematic study demonstrated that Qigong treatment
can become a novel biotechnology. The high-yield strain
produced by this method showed promising potential for industry.

9) Qigong Treatment on Yeast
By Hydrocarbon Metabolism Group
(Institute of Microbiology, Academe Sinica)
We have conducted a mutation study on wide type
Candida tropicalis in an attempt to get the mutation stain capable
of producing long chain, low oxidatation hydrocarbon from crude
petroleum by using chemical mutagen such as guanidium nitrate
and nitrite salt, UV irradiation, and laser. We recently
collaborated with Qigong master, Dr. Yan Xin, to do mutation
and to select the mutant strain by Qigong treatment. After a two-
month study, we got positive results.
The wide type and mutant have no morphological
difference after the Qigong treatment, but have a significant
difference in growth rates. The wide type produced uniform
colonies; the mutant produced colonies in different sizes.
The metabolism study on two strains of mutants showed
that, for #3, strain 40 out of 140, (28.6%); for #5, 34 out of 128
(27.9%) have the positive change (hydrocarbon yield increased
above 15%) and 28 out of 140 (#3) or 20%, 50 out of 122 (#5)
or 41% have the negative change (hydrocarbon yield decreased
over 15%), and 72 out of 140 (#3) or 51.4%, 38 out of 122(#5)
or 31.1% have no change in yield.
Further we selected 10 high yield (4% increase) colonies
from #3 strain; then repeated the selection. Two colonies were
reproducible and have average increased yields of 44.5% and
33.5%. Also, for #5, we found 2 colonies that were high yield in
production, 34.1% and 21.3%, respectively.
We are going to further study the stability of those high
yield mutant strains and try to expand the production industrial
level.

10) The Observation of Antibiotic-Producing
Bacteria Strain Processes and Selected
by Qigong in Industry Level
By Northern China Pharmaceutical Company
We collaborated with Qigong master, Dr. Yan Xin, and a
group from Tsinhua University to explore the potential of Qigong
treatment to improve antibiotic production bacteria strains. After
strict selection procedures, we have obtained some good quality
strains and now these strains are being tested in large scale. The
initial results showed that Qigong method is effective, simple,
efficient and harmless to human health compared to other
presently used chemical and physical mutation methods. The
miracles in this method are waiting for us to explore.
1. Selection of mutant strains of Streptomyces grisells
induced by Qigong
On September 19, 1989, we treated S. griseus strains 8512
and 8801 with Qigong, and did three parallel experiments. The
test group spore survival rate is 62%-86%; colony morphology
had no significant change. The 8512 strain initial selection was 53
colonies, a positive change of 71% and a 23% increase over
standard procedure. The 8801 strain initial selection was 53
colonies, a positive change of 20%. The spore growth rate after
treatment was faster than the control group. Also, sugar and
nitrogen metabolism were faster than for the control group.
2. Qigong treatment on Streptomyces rimosus
Approved For Release 2001/03/07 : CIA-RDP96-00792R000300430003-5
125

On December 19, 1989, we treated the terramycin
producing bacteria Streptomyces rimosus with Qigong. The spore
survival rate for the test group is 50.3% to 76.7%. Initial selection
was 145 colonies, a positive change of 100%, and a 13.5%
increase over standard procedure. 16 colonies were selected from
the initial selected test group, and 46 colonies from initial control
group, for further study. After 3 repeats, the test group showed a
100% increase in yield compared to the control group, a 14.2%
increase over standard procedure. The test group grew faster than
the control group.
3. Qigong treatment on aureomycin-producing bacteria
We did a mutation study on these bacteria by Qigong
treatment on Dec. 19, 1989. Among the four parallel experiments,
all the test group showed significant difference with respect to
survival rate, and growth rate. Spore survival rate was 100%.
Initial selection was 75 colonies, a positive change 62.3% over
standard procedure. 5 colonies were selected for further test. One
turned out to be the best strain this year; yield is 18% higher than
control group.
4. Qigong treatment for Penicillium
We did the treatment on Sept. 19, 1989. The spore
survival rate was 100%. Colony morphology was similar to the
control group. Initial selection was 67 colonies, a positive change
of 34.3%, and a 17.14% increase compared with the control
group. 7 colonies were selected for further study. 3 repeats
showed the test group was 10% better than the working strain
used for current production.

Eyewitness
1) Dr. Yan Xin's Lecture Tour Across Americag
Vicente N.Ongtenco
President, Canada Qigong Research society
Counsel Member, World Medical Qigong Association
June 19,1990, Dr. Xin Yan, a Chinese physician who
believed to be the most famous and the most powerful knowif?
qigong master and psychic healer, arrived in San Francisco to
attend the International Qigong Congress as one of its principal
speakers. Traveling with him were many other Qigong masterso
physicians and scholars, among them Dr. Zuying Lu, a nucleart
physicist, formerly professor of Tsinghua University presently
professor of China High Energy Physics Research Center, Dr Lu'
is Dr. Yan's closest associate in scientific research.
The two have worked together for several years in Beijing ors
research to find out the scientific basis of the Qigong powers
such as distant diagnosis, distant healing and instant healing.
Because of the miraculous qigong power Dr. Yan possesseda
and the efforts of Dr.Lu and other university researchers, this?
little known ancient art of human development has now been
brought within the realm of science.
Researchers in Tsinghua University of Beijing confirmed ing
laboratory experiments that Qigong did cause changes in matter ;-
not only in the molecular structure, particularly in DNA and RNA
moleculars. Internationally respected scientists in China have
endorsed these findings and encouraged further studies.
Though scientists are generally careful in releasing reports of
such matters, astonishing abstracts have been published in the
proceedings of the First World Medical Qigong Conference held
127
126
Approved For Release 2001/03/07 : CIA-RDP96-00792R000300430003-5

at 1989 in Beijing.
After scientific confirmation of his powers, demand for Dr.
Yan's lecture and demenstrations has become very high. Some
of his lectures were attended by tens of thousands. Scientific
experiments sometimes have had to be done simultaneously with
the lecture sessions.
The conference had originalzy scheduled him to speak 25
minutes but was compelled by popular demand to extend this
time to two three hour sessions.
At the very start, he galvanized the American audience with
the feel of energy. Some delegates in attendance were activated
to have strange spontaneous movements and gestures.
In his lecture sessions, generally a good portion of the
audience would go into qigong state, laughing, crying, dancing or
gesturing. Some patients may suddenly be he aled, wheelchair
patients may stand up and walk. Such things may seem like
miracles. Dr. Yan, however, insists that it is science, not
superstition. It is human power which causes material changes.
White rats or guinea-pigs deposices in the hall may have their
immunity raised, tumors shrunk or life span extended.
After the conference Dr. Yan was invited by the Mind Center
Research Institute of S.F. to undertake experiments with AIDS
patients.
!
On June 29th, upon invitation of the American Qigong
Association, we flew to New York.
In a meeting with businessmen and civic leaders, Dr. Yan
called for the organization of a World Qigong Foundation to
consolidate the forces of Qigong enthusiasts and supporters. The
aim is further research to bring about science revolutions and
global propagation of Qigong for the benefit of mankind.
In Washington, D.C., a local Qigong association arranged a
lecture held in Holiday Inn Gaithersburg. Hundred attended. It
lasted until after midnight. Even at that late hour, the zeal was
high. People stayed longer for autographs.
The Embassy of China invited him to lecture. The Ambassador
himself was among the audience in Qigong posture. This is not
a surprise. In China, some eighty or more millions of people
practice qigong. It is probably the most popular single health-
maintaining practice in China. Qigong associations are organized
in all provinces, in most cities and principal manipulates.
Universities and hospitals are involved in the research. Zeal for
Qigong is still on the rise.
Dr. Yan emphasized to the audience that Qigong is believed
able to arouse man's latent potential. Man posseses in himself the
power to ward off disease. It is a question of activating suo
hidden power within us.
He cautioned people, however, not to believe Qigong is
panacea or cure-all. He stressed that Qigong effects af
conditional, depending on many factors, such as inborn potentia?
resistance, patients' cooperation or response, correct attitude
follow-up practices and above all, virtuous living and good deedso
In Boston, Dr. Yan was invited to lecture at tig
Massachussette Institute of Technology. Some of the faculty ana
students were engrossed in the reports made by him and professor
Lu on the changing of the molecular structure of water and the
effect on the half life of Am-241 isotope by Qi even at a great
distance.
Back in New York, on July 9th, the United Nations Qigong
Association invited him to speak in the UN Headquarter. I
spoke on the possible influence of Qigong on world peace. R
emphasized that Qigong is focused on the principle of the oneness
of the universe and requires its practitioner to adhere to virtue ang
morality. There are preconditions for higher attainment. As the
basic units are in consonance and in harmony, the world will be
in peace. He stated the goal of Qigong thus"When the Great
Principle is universally in force, the world belongs to all".
We flew on July 10th to Chicago where Dr. yan was invited
by a local AIDS positive rganization to do experiments to see
whether Qigong healing and exercise can help AIDS patieng
regain immunity.
At the University of Illinois in Champaing-Urbana he told tire
professors and students the encouraging findings of leading

Chinese Universities in Qigong scientific studies, that mind power
at Qigong state, even at a distance of two thousand kilometers
away may still work effectively on experimental samples affecting
molecular structure. This report would sound quite unbelievable,
but Dr. Lu, the respected high energy physicist was on hand to
confirm and explain in scientific terms how the experimentation
was conducted, repeated and verified.
In Illinois, I came face to face with the first "Bigu", qigong
induced fasting, which has Isted now more than 100 days.
The Faster is not an ordinary person but Xutian Wu, who is
an exchange professor in Agriculture from the People's Republic
of China to the University of Illinois. Starting from the day he
attended Dr. Yan's lecture in S.F., he began feeling he didn't like
eating, so he stopped. For more than 100 days now he has
sustained himself only on water and a little fruids.
In the first week he lost 6 pounds. Alarmed he telephoned
Dr. Yan. From the day of the call, his weight has been steady.
"Bigu"(pronounced bikuo) is the Qigong effect by which one
may be enabled not to eat at all. By continued practice with
unfettered faith, one can go on as far as one's call potential
permits.
In China, there are hundreds of similar cases. One test case
under strict scientific observation is a young girl, age thirteen,
who taken nothing in her system except water water for more
than 1,000 days. Dr. Yan still keeps in touch with her by phone
while traveling in America.
There are many demands for English copies of these reports,
but some are not presently available. Some professors showed
interest in the translation of these valuable documents. We
welcome the joint efforts of all concerned to bridge the language
gap, to hasten the day for American scientists to participate
actively in the research in this new frontier of modern science.
On invitation, we visited the Johon E. Fetzer Foundation at
Kalamazoo, Michigan, which is dedicated to the study of 'subtle
energy' which may be considered another desingations of Qi. The
foundation is interested in collaborate on with Dr. Yan in the
further research into Qi or subtle energy. The preliminary
exploratory trip was encouraging, details of cooperation have yet
to be hammered out.
Back to San Francisco on July 19th, at a reception banquet, I
personally witnessed a striking demonstration. In front of about
a hundred businessmen and community leaders, Dr.Xin Yan by
speaking two sentences, made an eighty year old lady who was
seated just in front of me, rise from her wheelchair and walk.
As Dr. Yan approached our table for a toast, the old lady
asked"Dr. Yan, may I stand up?" Dr. Yan answered, "As you
think to stand up, so you stand up" She stood up. she followed
up"may I walk?" Dr. Yan said "As you think to walk, so you
walk."She began to walk. Applause and cheers thundered the hall
the old lady who has not been able to walk for at least forty threeo
years walked around the restaurant hall amidst astonished"
cheering spectataturs.
Second applause came when another old lady with Parkinson's
disease suddenly stopped shaking as Dr. Yan offered a toast te
that table which is just next to ours. A local businessman, moved .
by the miraculous effect of Qigong, drew out his credit card and
took the total bill for this banquet to his account.
Though people speaked these things as miracles, Dr.Xin Yan
has never laid claim as such. He said, if Qigong could cause
biomolecular changes as in RNA, the extraordinary good effede
in curing sicknesses should not be a surprise. He always caution&
people not to relate Qigong to superstition. He insists that if
science still can not explain some Qigong phenomenon now, time
will take care of it. Qigong is scientific.
In response to the increased popular demand, the Qigong
Institute of S.F. arranged for a 1200 person capacity hall for the
next lecture lesson. They found out later that this was not enough
The hall was jampacked, they had to postpone half an hour 18
seat more people, with still hundreds outside who could not be
accommodated.
In his lecture, beside generating the flow of energy which
could be felt by most of the attending audience, Dr. Yan also

conveyed profound philosophical lessons. He advise the audience
to love all things around us by first loving our parents and elders.
He stressed that this is a Qigong lesson and a Qigong message.
It is not a religions dogma, but a scientific revelution. He
explained that we all carry the chromosome or hereditary message
from our forefathers and our living elders are our connectors. If
we cut this connection, the beneficial hereditary message would
be thus severed, leaving us deprived of the virtues and greatness
built-up by our forefathers.
On why we must love our neighbors and all things around us,
Dr. Yan said, this is a physical law, for if there is an action, there
will be an equal reaction. If you hit somebody, the force
rebounding against to you would be just the same. In like manner,
if you give love to all things around you, the loving message will
be returned to you in multiples.
Some attending the lecture expected a miracle to happen to
themselves, others wished to witness one. In front of more than
a thousand crowd, they saw a few wheelchaired patients stand-up
walking. Dr. Yan cautioned the patients not to expect too much,
because strong desire prevents Qigong state, thus reducing the
desired effect.
On August 4th, Dr. Yan spoke to some 500 who overcrowded
the Presidential Hall of Lincoln Plaza Monterey Park City. The
following day he addressed 1000 admirers at Pasadena Hilton, LA
area.
Here he appealed to all to practice Qigong regardless of age.
He said children learning Qigong will improve school
performance and develop good manners and right conduct. Youth
practicing Qigong would be more disciplined, less exposed to
temptation to wrong-doing and irregular sex practices. Adults
practicing Qigong could raise work efficiency and cultivate sound
mind. Married couples practicing Qigong would maintain
harmonious relationship and would give birth to better bred
offspring. Older people practicing Qigong would ease stressful
periods, reduce fatigue and prolong active life. Qigong would cut
health maintenance burden and contribute to social stability and
:
!
economic progress.
As he traveled around America, Dr. Yan has repeatedly urged
the American people to practice Qigong to lesseon the stress in
life, and to reduce the menace of aids and cancer in particular,
and to improve our total wellbeing. He also has appealed to the
science community to study this new frontier. By delving into the
mysteries of these extraordinary but true Qigong phenomena, Dr.
Yan says we can unleash harness the latent power of man and to
uncover the secret of the universe.
2) An Eyewitness of Yan Xin Qigong Phenominon
Stevenson Wu
From June 13th through the 25th, 1991, I followed Dr.
Yan Xin, the famous Chinese Qigong master and scientist, and
attended special Qigong presentations, "Lecture with Emission of
Qi".
While explaining the principle of Qigong, he
simultaneously emits vital energy to help the audience with health
problems. I encourage a serious look at this phenomenon.
Dr. Yan Xin combines Chinese traditional medicine with
the sciences of Western medicine. Using his highly developed
Qigong energy, he has cured many common and incurable
diseases and has performed scientific experiments. His research
shows that our latent human potential far exceeds contemporary
scientific knowledge. The mind power or Qi emitted by this
trained Qigong master can influence or change the molecular
structure of test samples, including those of DNA and RNA,
even from a distance of 10,000 kilometers. It can also effect the
half-life of radioactive isotopes and the polarization plane of a
laser beam. His discoveries are changing the way modern
science is viewed, and challenging many of its assumptions.
To satisfy the growing interest in Qigong and to address
the needs of patients with difficult diseases, Dr. Yan Xin created

,
vn may iJul, 140 people attended a benefit for Yan Xin
Qigong at the Queen's Restaurant in San Francisco's China
Town. Following an opening address, Dr. Yan Xin simply
introduced his scientific experiments, which emphasized that his
mind power can change the molecular structures of human cells
and of the food cells in the dishes for the party. This may
account for the high energy components needed in the events-that
followed.
After his speech, we watched a 20 minute video
program, "Chinese Superman --- Yan Xin". Then three elderly
paraplegics in the assembly stood up, left their wheelchairs and
tried to walk. The entire banquet hall seethed with excitement,
encouragement and applause. One by one, each toddled slowly
to the front. As they shook hands with Dr. Yan, he smiled and
advised them to practice more to strengthen the healing effect,
but to avoid getting overly excited.
People were then invited to give witness to their
experiences, a very respectable gentleman, who is a
representative for the Secretary of the U.S. Department of
Education, related his experience. He had injured his jaw in a
1970 car accident and was hospitalized for three months. The
wound healed, but the nerve died. He suffered with this problem
for twenty years. His nerve was cured immediately after a Yan
Xin lecture and lunch.
A businessman, Mr. Tan , regained 60% of his hearing
immediately following a lecture, although no one had been able
134
enough to get up and had regained her voice. After attending a
Yan Xin "Lecture with Emission of Qi" in San Diego, she found
her tumor which was a metastasis of the original cancer liquified
as verified by X-ray.
I was asked to introduce my experience of taking liquid diet
for a year. Since last June 23 when I attended a 'Lecture with
Emission of Qi" by Dr. Yan Xin, he had mentioned one of the
Qigong miraculous phenomena called Pigu, a few people training
on Qigong can live normally without taking solid food. During
this lecture it seemed that some Qigong message and energy had
affected my body. All of a sudden I did not like to take any food
but never felt hungry. I realized that the Qigong Pigu maybe
befell on me. I did not force myself to take any meal besides
taking a little fruits and drinking a cup of juice. But I have felt
energized carrying on normal work and living but I get less sleep
than before. In the first two weeks I lost eight pounds. I called
Dr. yan Xin. He suggested that I need to drink a little more
water. Just during this telephone talk I regained two pounds.
Since then my weight has been quite stable. During the whole
year I have been engaged in my research project. Most of the
time I was very busy, even working for 14 hours a day, but I
have never felt any fatigue. It has amazed me that I have not
been attached by any illness for a year. I cut down two hours of
my sleep time to practice Qigong exercise. I feel satisfied with
my health, for I am strong and energetic. Some friends of mine
told me that I looked younger than before. I don't know how
135
Approved For Release 2001/03/07 : CIA-RDP96-00792R000300430003-5

long it will last. I would like to let my body run its natural
course. I have really got a great benefit from practicing Qigong
and Pigu. I am not the only person who has this kind of
phenomenon. Miss. Jun Wang in Connecticut and Dr. Ren in
Vancouver, Canada had the same experience of mine.
During the May 18th Qigong lecture at the Chinese
Acupuncture and Medicine College in Hawaii, the mostly
Western audience appeared to make 'spontaneous movements'.
Some shook with violent convulsions; others waved their arms.
Some wept or cried loudly while others acted like acrobats. A
Hawaiian of oriental descent, suddenly cried violently and had a
bursting headache. Two days later, she told us that her
incurable, nerve-related pain of over ten years was almost gone.
Dr. Cheah, a biologist , had had little success with her several
month long weight loss program. Following Yan Xin's
directions for weight loss at the Qigong lecture May 19th, she
was amazed to find she had lost eight pounds in one day.
A gentleman is a local resident who owns an organic
farm on the island of Marocaya. By chance, he watched Dr. Yan
Xin's lecture on the May 18th evening news. Although he had
never before known of Qigong, he received powerful energy
during the program and began a spontaneous movement releasing
all his fatigue. Curious, he attended the Qigong lecture on May
19th and 20th. There he followed Yan Xin's suggestion and
passed energy to his wife. When he saw us off at the Honolulu
airport on May 24th, he told us that his wife's liver pain was
amazingly cured.
Although I have attended Dr. Yan Xin's Qigong lectures
many times in the past, I was more deeply impressed this time.
I have found that the effect of Qigong for Westerners is as good
as for Chinese. Some Westerners are more sensitive to Qigong
in spite of the language barrier and they always receive the
energy and the message. I believe this proves that Qigong, a
Chinese treasure, not only belongs to the Chinese but is of
benefit to all mankind.
3) Qigong Master Draws a Crowd
Ancient Chinese Practice Gives
a Pentecostal Approach to Health
By Don Lattin
(San Francisco Chronicle 5/16/1991)
When Yan Xin talks, people do more than listen.
Some shake in violent convulsions. Others wave their arms in
ecstasy. some weep. Others crow like roosters.
All of these reactions were on display Tuesday night when
a crowd of about 1,700 devotees --- most of them of Chinese
descent --- turned out at the Masonic Auditorium in San Francisco
to hear Yan deliver a "lecture with emission of Qi."
Although few Americans have heard of Yan Xin, mainland
China's most famous "Qigong master", most of the 1.1 billion.
people in China know about him.
Qigong (pronounced Chee Goong) is an ancient Chinese
practice that combines breath, concentration and meditation to
promote health and well-being. It works on some of the same
principles as t'ai chi ch'uan, the slow-moving martial art, and
acupuncture, the Chinese healing technique.
Since 1985, when a Qigong revival started sweeping
China, 50 million to 60 million Chinese have gone to see Yan,
many attracted by stories of his miraculous healing powers, his!
alleged ability to channel electric current through his body, ando
his capacity to "change wine from light to strong."
"When word that he's coming leaks out, people flock to
him," said Charlotte Sun, a former resident of China who now
teaches Qigong in San Francisco with her Chinese husband, Sun
Da-Jin. "He has to live in the underground, he is in such
demand."

Qigong, which is becoming increasingly popular among
136
137

+00IST "CIA- RDP96-00792R000300430003-5
western aficionados of martial arts, is normally an individual
practice in which students work on their own health and well-
being.
At the beginning of Yan's performance Tuesday night,
most members of the audience sat passively in their chairs as they
attempted to absorb some of the energy purportedly radiating
from the stage, where the unassuming master sat behind a flower-
bedecked table and delivered a lecture in Chinese.
Minutes into his talk, several began experiencing what
Yan calls "spontaneous movements." Before long, the scene began
to resemble a Pentecostal prayer meeting with many people
waving their arms and making unintelligible sounds.
"Those who are sensitive might start having some strong
physical sensations --- or start laughing or crying," Yan advised.
"Don't worry. This is quite normal."
Yan, 41, bespectacled and diminutive, seems taken aback
by his celebrity status. He began his lecture by telling the crowd --
-some of them in wheelchairs -- that Qigong can only heal
physical ailments "in special cases." He advised them to combine
Qigong with conventional medical care.
Tickets to Yan's lecture, sponsored by the New China
Education foundation of San Francisco, cost $15 to $50.
"Dr. Yan is a miracle worker," said foundation vice
chairman Han-sheng Lin, a professor of history at Sonoma State
University.
In an interview earlier at the empress of China restaurant
in Chinatown, Yan said he first came to the United States to do
research with AIDS patients.
Yan said the research indicated that Qigong can strengthen
the immune system of people with AIDS, but when asked for
details, he said the study is "incomplete."
Ken Sancier, a chemist and senior scientist at the Stanford
Research Institute, worked with Yan or the, AIDS study, but said
he could not release any findings.
"We had an agreement not to Inake the results public until
he had a chance to review the results, "said Sancier, a researcher
at the Qigong Institute of the East-West Academy of Healing
Arts.
Nevertheless, Sancier remains convinced that highly
trained Qigong masters "can heal others without touching them,"
citing studies in china that appear to confirm such feats.
Many western researchers, however, are highly skeptical.
In 1988, a panel of six experts went to China to investigate
claims that Qigong masters could heal people by energy radiating
from their fingers.
Paul Kurtz, chairman of the Committee for the Scientific
Investigation of Claims of the Paranormal, said the panel found
no evidence that Qigong can destroy tumors or make the lame
walk.
Replied Yan:"They didn't test the right masters."

4) Bush Meet Yan Xin in San Francisco
(International Daily, 9/28/1990)
[San Francisco] President Bush was in S.F. on
September19 to support Senate Wilson in his run for state
governor of California. When he heard about Dr. Yan Xin, the
famous Chinese medicine doctor, and great Qigong scientist with
extraordinary abilities, was visiting the United States and had
successfully draw large crowds during his Qigong lectures; the
president was very pleased and invited Dr. Yan Xin as special
guest. During the meeting, he praised Dr. Yan Xin as the
contemporary sage and posed for a picture with him. The
president extended his appreciation on Dr. Yan's successful
efforts in research on the scientific principles behind Qigong
healing and spreading up Chinese Qigong during his Qigong
lecture at a large number of American universities.
Yan Xin's name, just known in the United States three
months ago, has drawn keen public attention since June 21. Now
he is frequently reported by the media such as newspapers, and
TV stations. Yan Xin becomes the symbol of 'miraculous',
'powerful' and 'incredible' overnight. Master Yan Xin has visited
more than 30 cities in the United States. Qigong fever followed
him wherever he went. This fever continue to roll back and forth
from the East coast to the West coast and the temperature does
not seem to reduce. Yan Xin has directed this fever from
emotional worship to rational research and scientific application.
Qigong has been viewed as unthinkable since a long time
ago. Although many incurable diseases were miraculously cured
, people do not but worship )Qigong masters) blindly, even with
exaggeration. Yan Xin is called grand master, ont only because
he possesses extraordinary Qigong power, but more importantly
he is the first Qigong master to bravely break traditional values
(rules) and cooperated with many authorative scientists in
scientific experiments and explorations on the unknown secrets of
Qigong. The well-know Chinese scientist Dr. Qian Xueshen once
predicted 'to combination of Qigong, Chinese medicine and latent
energy, while (once) being make theoretical and scientific will
result in a new scientific revolution! Master Yan Xin is but the
pioneer of this revolution.
5) IYXQSA First International Yan Xin Qigong
Health Workshop
- A summery
The five-day workshop was held at the University
of Illinois, Champaign, from October 7th through 11th,
1991. Most of the eighty eight trainees came for
treatment of ailments, their own or their relatives'. Some
came to probe further into the theory of Qigong with its
subtle perplexities.
Workshop trainees spent their mornings inspiring
each other to study and discuss Qigong theories and the
effect of the daily lecture on each individual. In the
afternoons, Dr. Yan Xin lectured on advanced internal.
Qigong and simultaneously emitted his bioenergy. On
one evening, Dr. Yan Xin lectured at the Yen Jing
restaurant, on another at the YMCA. Some nights the
trainees practiced individually what they learned in the
afternoon.
There was a final meeting where trainees shared

their achievements and their impressions of the course of
study. Although many had attended Qigong lectures
before, all felt they had, for the first time, really sensed
the subtle entity and essence of Qigong. The trainees
unanimously felt that the short Workshop brought more
unbelievable effects to them than they originally expected.
Right after the Workshop, Dr. Yan Xin gave
lectures with bioenergy to members of the Association at
Purdue University, Indiana, and to those at Washington
University, Missouri.
The Cures
A physician from California, whose left ear had
been deaf for the past twenty years gained his hearing on
the fourth day of the class. He had been to many
hospitals and had consulted many prominent E.N.T.
specialists for the last twenty years with no help. During
the lectures, he consulted Dr. Yan Xin about his ear. Dr.
Yan then emitted his bioenergy while saying, "Insert a
cotton ball into your right ear and see if your left ear can
hear."
Believing he might somehow hear, he did
immediately what he was told. His left ear could hear
the sound of people talking in the hall. Overwhelmed
with joy and excitement, he told the group at the closing
meeting, "I wouldn't have dared to even dream that I
could hear with my left ear, but today Dr. Yan Xin has
caused that dream to come true. How grateful I am to
him!"
On Aug 18, 1991 in Chicago, a University of Illinois
Ph.D. candidate had a car accident which broke the femur
of her right leg into three pieces and crushed her heel.
She attended the class in a wheelchair pushed by her
mother. Her leg was treated in the hospital before she
came. Her doctor ordered her not to even try standing
before the end of January because he would not be
responsible for her treatment if she broke her leg again.
She was a pathetic sight. Her right heel was in a
plaster cast and her left eye was covered with a piece of
black cloth. Her eye had been turned aside in the
accident and she now had double vision and was cross-
eyed and photophobic. Sitting in the wheelchair with her
chin propped in her hands, she looked pale, listless and
helpless.
After the open lecture at the YMCA on the third
evening, she, with encouragement from other class
members, took the cover from her eye. To her delight she
found that she was no longer photophobic and that the
double images seemed closer together.
Of course she was still very cautious and did not
dare to take any risk with the leg. However, the lectures
with bioenergy daily strengthened her body, mind, and
spirit. On the fourth day, another trainee was incited by
Master Yan's bioenergy to spontaneously pull her from
the wheelchair, saying, "You are all right. There is
nothing wrong with your leg; come on ... "
When pulled out of the wheelchair, the Ph.D.
candidate was able to stand and walk with the trainee's
help while the others cheered her with shouting and
clapping. She even waltzed on the fourth evening during
the farewell banquet, invited by the same trainee who
had helped her to walk. After the dance, she walked

erect, with a spirited natural gait, with neither crutches
nor companions to Dr. Yan Xin's table.
She toasted the health of Dr. Yan, expressing her
respect and gratitude for his miraculous cure of her
injury. She also spoke movingly over the megaphone to
the group, "I am now a living testimony of Qigong. I am
here to prove that Qigong can cure diseases immediately
and completely which would take much longer with
modern medicine. In fact, I couldn't have believed all this
if I didn't experience it myself."
At present, not only can she walk in high-heeled
shoes but can also see normally. Less than a month after
the Workshop, she was jogging 400 meters every morning
with no difficulty. (Incidentally, her mother, who had
duodenal ulcers for quite a long time, was cured after the
five-day training too.)
A Chicago woman had been suffering from diabetes
for more than ten years. She could not go without
medicine and was on a special diet. After the first day,
she felt that her disease was definitely cured and
discontinued her medicine. She ate sweet rolls and cream
cake with the others. To her surprise, her daily urine
check for sugar content showed a drop from 380 to 130.
What's more, according to her close friends, she looked
much younger after the five days.
Her 74-year-old husband used to be very hot
tempered. The whole family wished that he could be
transformed into a man of more gentle and tender
disposition. After the five-day training, his wife observed
that he had more or less been changed into a more
amiable and accessible man, as demonstrated, in part, by
the poem he wrote to praise the Workshop.
When the class was prompted by Dr. Yan to
visualize childhood scenes, the 74-year-old husband
recalled the acrobatic feat he could do at age seven. He
used to drop, cross-legged to the floor and then spring up
to stand erect. Although he had not done this for
decades, he successfully performed this trick in front of
his seat. He shocked himself, for he never dreamed that
he still had that much energy. He beamed and bowed to
the clapping group, and when they asked him to do it
again, he did so at different corners of the hall five or six
times without hesitation or complaint.
He was very moved as he said, "Qigong has
rejuvenated me and can help me maintain and improve
my health. Qigong can also enable a family to live in
harmony and the country live in unity. There will
certainly be peace in the world if Qigong is learned by
everybody on earth." He meant that Qigong encourages
moral character and teaches followers to be loving and
forgiving always.
A young lady from the eastern part of the United
States came to the Workshop supported by her uncle, a
physician. He had taken her to many specialists in the
country, but could not get her cured of a genetic
neuropathy plaguing her for the past ten years. She
finally decided to try Qigong therapy.
She could not sleep without sleeping pills.
Deprived of a normal life, she had attempted suicide
several times, however, when she heard that a patient
with a broken leg stood right up after the Qigong lecture,
she was encouraged. She discontinued her sleeping pills,
attended all workshop classes and slept very well. In
fact, she sometimes slept at the discussion and even at
1-4-4

the banquet table. She has since called the Association
to say that she is getting along just fine and to express
her gratitude to Dr. Yan Xin for rescuing her and giving
her a new life.
A Chicago man attended one of the open lectures at
Purdue, Indiana. He had been suffering from a broken
knee and had done quite serious damage to the nerves of
the leg. He had to have a brace of stainless steel on his
knee, and according to his orthopedic doctor, he would
never be able to walk without it. He wore the brace
except when he was in a wheelchair.
When he heard Dr. Yan Xin say that some people
with broken legs had been cured through the bioenergy at
a Qigong lecture, he felt greatly encouraged. While he
was sitting in his wheelchair, someone in the audience
was incited by Dr. Yan Xin's bioenergy to spontaneously
come to him and earnestly ask, "Don't you want to be able
to walk?" He was startled and encouraged and answered
firmly, "Of course I do!" "Then let me help you stand up",
said the other.
The crippled man left his wheelchair and crutches,
stretched out his arms for support and stood up without
the brace. He then walked around without help while
listening to the lecture. He has since called the
Association to express his thanks and to tell of his
progress. He has been up and about with no difficulty.
An 83-year-old retired professor had a rash behind
her left ear for more than twenty years and had cataracts
in both eyes. One day after the Workshop, Dr. Yan gave
her a candy drop and told her that it was medicine.
Delighted, she took it immediately with faith that the
candy had been changed into the medicine she needed
and she stopped taking all other medicine. After ten days
the rash dried up and the blisters healed. Her eyesight
has been much improved. She used to use 350 degree
glasses plus a magnifying glass of 6 diameters in order to
read ordinary print. Since the workshop, she can read
with either the glasses or the magnifier, not both.
Furthermore, the lens of her eyes are not so blurred.
A 60-plus Michigan man attended Dr. Yan Xin's
lecture last year and was also at the Workshop. He told
the group that he had grown younger since last year's
lecture. He said his old skin seemed to be peeling off,
leaving the skin of his whole body smoother and softer.
Additionally all his chronic illnesses seemed to subside
and diminish. He felt he had improved his knowledge
and skills of Qigong at this workshop.
A Texas restaurant owner who, for the past twenty
years, had suffered from arthritis in his legs and in the
lumbar region of his back, attended the banquet. He was
particularly afraid of wind and humidity. He had tried in
vain for many years to get his illness treated. He
received the bioenergy of Master Yan and other trainees
and was cured after the banquet.
Another young lady, who nine years ago had her
ilower jaw wounded and her chin distorted, also attended
the banquet. She was incited by the bioenergy of Dr. Yan
Xin and other trainees to make spontaneous movements.
Her chin convulsed and her old wound was definitely
cured.

Some sick persons were not able to attend the
Workshop but were cured through the Qigong practice of
their relatives in the class. The following two cases
demonstrate the possibility of distant treatment through
relatives.
A man whose wife had been long suffering from
pain and a chill in her lower abdomen attended the
Workshop for her. In order to help her he always bore in
mind that his wife's illness could be cured by meditating
on the wish for her recovery while doing his Qigong.
Once during class practice, he felt a pain and chill in his
lower abdomen. He was quite puzzled.
To his surprise and joy, when he returned home his
wife told him that her lower abdomen felt warm and
comfortable. He has come to realize now that his wife's
illness reflected on his own body. He felt chilled and
pained during practice so that his wife's illness could be
cast off by him when he threw away all the wasteful,
poisonous and unhealthful bioenergy in his body at the
end of every practice.
A woman whose husband had long suffered from
asthma came intending to bear her husband's illness in
mind while she learned Qigong. During the class she
received her husband's phone calls, telling her that his
asthma was obviously improving and finally that it was
entirely recovered.
The Qigong Achievements and Improvements
of the Trainees
Ninety percent of the trainees have more or less
improved their understanding and practice of Qigong,
even though not all of them had studied Qigong, attended
Qigong lectures or listened to Qigong tapes before
attending this workshop. They were surprised that theg
could follow whatever Dr. Yan Xin said and do whatever
he told them. What's more, they could feel the way he
expected them to feel.
For instance, after becoming skilled in the first
five steps of internal Qigong, one can see light and fees
warmth around the waist by closing one's eyes and
touching the lower abdomen with one's palm. Mose
trainees, with eyes closed, did see white, yellow, or rede
light when touching their lower abdomen. Some evento
felt, not warm, but hot around the waist while doing theg
first five steps. Some examples follow.
Although very interested and well read, a
gentleman who practiced Qigong persistently in the past
still did not feel any progress. When he learned from Dr.
Yan Xin, he said, "It is a wonder that whatever Master
Yan said or mentioned I could immediately feel and see.
When doing the first five steps of the internal Qigong, I
felt my abdomen growing very hot, with hot current
running through my back to my head. I could smell
sweet fragrance of different kinds quite a few times, too."
Another man progressed to visualizing vividly the
emptiness in his chest when doing the internal Qigong
and to hearing the ringing of the bell supposed to be in
his chest. When he was prompted to recall his life in
childhood while looking in a mirror, he could see clearly
his own image from a small boy to a grown man.
After learning of the internal Qigong, a lady
trainee began to feel its effect. For instance, she felt her

whole body grow warm and hot and her extremities go
numb and prickly after doing Qigong. One evening, when
she was doing Qigong with her eyes closed, she was
surprised to see a pair of closed eyes. She didn't realize
that they were her own until she tried to peek. She
apparently was seeing with her forehead's Heavenly eye.
The Mysteries of Qigong Need More
Scientific Studies
-
Those who study, practice and receive the
bioenergy of Qigong may feel that it is very perplexing
and is unable to be explained scientifically. Master Yan
Xin explained that Qigong can only be taught by the
heart of a master and learned through the sensitivity of
the students. The following incidents are examples.
A very quiet, very reserved and somewhat taciturn
young woman came with her parents to the Qigong
lecture on the first evening. Although she had never had
any medical training or study, she was incited by Dr.
Xin's bioenergy to spontaneously treat the sick by
massaging, pressing, or rubbing points affected by the
disease. Another young lady was similarly moved. They
both walked around the lecture hall to touch whomever
they considered in need of their treatment. A gentleman,
who had wrenched his back was cured by the massage of
one of the girls. A woman who for the last few years had
suffered a great deal from migraines that distorted her
face with pain, was also cured. She later said to one of
the young girls, "Thank you for giving me a massage for
three times this evening. You really touched the exact
spot of pain in my head." The mystery is how they
recognized the sick and how they knew the points of
illness, even though they were themselves in a state of
half consciousness. What power and impetus had they,
who had no knowledge of medicine?
Right after the close of the Health Workshop, Dr.
Yan Xin gave a Qigong lecture with bioenergy to the
Branch Association members at the University of
Washington, Missouri. About 200 people attended and
had a strong response to the Qigong bioenergy. People
were crying, laughing, and shouting. One person jumped
up from the seat and another stood up and danced
gracefully.
Not surprisingly, some Qigong admirers might have
wished to keep some of these memorable scenes for their
picture albums. But that whole night, except for the
lamp on the speaker's table, the classroom lights flickered
off and on, mostly off. Of course no pictures could be
taken. The custodial workers ran up and down the stairs
and kept saying, "Nothing is wrong with the
switchboard." Dr. Yan explained to the audience that this
happened very often, and that as soon as he finished his
lecture, everything would be alright. As soon as he
concluded his lecture, the lights were all on again. How
can this be explained by modern science?
Several years ago, Dr. Yan helped a lady to avoid
injury in a serious car accident by treating her stone
bracelet with his bioenergy. He later also helped a
physician to avoid injury in a car accident which totaled
the car. The physician was carrying a note with best
wishes from Dr. Yan.
Another trainee was robbed of all valuable things

un or Release 200 1
in his house, except for some jewelry, rings and the like,
which had been treated by Dr. Yan.
Events similar to those mentioned above are too
many to be described in detail here. They all seemed
incredible because they cannot be explained scientifically,
but they are facts witnessed by many. The intrinsic
causes are unable to be fathomed or explained clearly.
The great Chinese scientist, Qian Xue Sen said, "It is not
Qigong that is unscientific, but it is science that does not
yet know Qigong.
The Epilogue, or rather, the Morning Bell
This epilogue is not the conclusion or the end, but
rather a progression for the International Yan Xin Qigong
Association. In a short five-day period, the trainees
learned much from the class lectures with bioenergy. Dr.
Yan Xin meticulously taught every trainee every step.
Furthermore, he explained incisively the profound, subtle
and seemingly mysterious theories of Qigong. He
specially stressed that Qigong could only be learned
through understanding, perceiving, sensing and
visualizing his instruction and demonstration, and that
this required a high degree of discernment.
At the farewell banquet, Master Yan Xin emitted
bioenergy to make all the food a healing tonic for each
one according to individual needs. He reserved some
special time for trainees to ask questions, and Master
Yan was penetrating and incisive in his analyses of any
differing views while answering the questions.
He
presented the up-to-date, complete theories of subtle and
obscure principles of Chinese Qigong in its philosophical
framework.
His style is different from other Qigong masters
who are mostly rather arbitrary in their training of
apprentices. He adopted the way ancient masters used to
teach their apprentices. The ancient masters did not
choose an apprentice for the tuition fee but for the moral
character of the prospective apprentice. He also believes
in peer teaching and peer learning similar to modern
educational theory.
This means equality between
teachers and learners. That was why he often stressed to
the class that teaching and learning are mutual.
Because one should have a nobel character before'
being chosen by the great masters, every trainee felt
honored to be considered qualified and accepted for this
class. Everyone felt very fortunate to have Master Yan
teach the seemingly mysterious internal Qigong to each
one individually. The trainees have come to realize that
Chinese Qigong is a treasure of mankind, accumulated
from the most sophisticated and perfect wisdom, culture
and civilization of China since ancient times.
Everybody was impressed by Dr. Yan's eminent
Qigong feats and take him to be a superman. All are
willing to contribute from their lives toward his
enterprising goals for Qigong. All wish him long life so he
may deliver more people from diseases. All have been
moved by his generosity in giving himself whole-heartedly
to Qigong. His fundamental Qigong principle and life
philosophy is to combine Qigong with modern science. He
believes that Qigong's full impact cannot be attained
unless it is combined with scientific research, and this is
what he has been doing for the last decade. The influence
of his work on the welfare of man will be extensive.

Undoubtedly, this is his greatest contribution to mankind.
The trainees were not only readjusted to maintain
or improve health, but were also taught to cultivate their
minds and hearts so as to live a pure and noble life. All
pledged that they would never forget the instructions and
guidance of Master Yan. They not only want to practice
persistently themselves, but also want to spread Dr. Yan's
Qigong to others and finally to the whole world.
One month has passed since the close of the
International Yan Xin Qigong Health Workshop. Many
telephone calls and letters have been received from the
trainees reporting their gratitude to Master Yan for his
teaching and effective treatment. They mostly tell of how
diligently they have been practicing Yan Xin Qigong and
seem to be very much interested in spreading it. They
will become the sparks that spread Yan Xin Qigong. The
sparks will certainly ignite the whole world and help the
entire human kind.

Practice Method --- The Nine-Step
Qigong Method
When learning Yan Xin Qigong, one should pay attentionS
to the methods of beginning and ending.
For the ending, one should follow instructions,
otherwise, one can not benefit. In the beginning, one should
pay attention to breathing and thoughts. People learning
Yan Xin Qigong should do the ending part when finished,
in doing so they can get the desired benefit.
Beginning
1. If sitting on a chair, sit on one third or one fourth
of the chair so that the legs are perpendicular to the
ground. If standing when doing the Qigong, one's feet
should be a little bit wider than shoulder width. Knees
should be slightly bent. If sitting on a bed or the ground, sit
with legs crossed.
2. Whatever position is chosen, always pay attention
to the back. The spine should be straight, the abdomen
contracted slightly.
3. The head should be held in an upright position,
neck erect. The chin should be tipped slightly inward
towards the neck. The forehead should tilt one to three
centimeters downward, so the Bai Hui acupuncture point
(at the top of the head) is toward the sky.
4. Shoulders should be down and the back should be
straight with arms relaxed. Hands should maintain a
natural, relaxed position with both hands in front of naval.
A man's left hand should be on top of the right hand, and
155
Approved For Release 2001/03/07 : CIA-RDP96-00792R000300430003-5

RDP96-00792R000300430003-5
a woman's right hand on top of the left hand. Fingers
should be slightly open, and little fingers should be straight,
pointing outward and downward. If one is very healthy and
strong, one can separate the hands three to ten centimeters.
5. The mouth should be relaxed with lips closed and
teeth separated. The tongue should be positioned one of
four ways:
A. Tongue behind upper teeth - for people who have
high blood pressure
B. Tongue behind lower teeth - for people who have
low blood pressure and heart problems
C. Tip of tongue touching the back of lower teeth
while the back of the tongue is arched - for people who
have sleep problems, nerve problems, history of mental
illness, ill temper or moodiness
D. Tongue only in middle of mouth - for those who
have a weight problem or wish to lose weight
Note: If you have low blood pressure, this tongue
position is not advisable.
6. The eyes should be closed, but one should imagine
looking at the tip of one's nose. Another technique is
looking at the tip of one's nose with half closed eyes.
Imagine that there is a beam of light from the forehead
through the tip of the nose, to the naval.
Ending
1. Preparation for Ending.
Raise the hands parallel with the chest, palms facing
each other, approximately 20 to 30 cm apart. Bend the first
four fingers slightly, keeping the little finger almost straight.
Take a deep breath, (breathe in and breathe out, count
twice). When breathing out, pull both hands out; when
breathing in, push both hands to each other without
touching. (Men count 14 times and women 12 times). Close
the eyes and imagine looking at one's hands, holding a
colorful light ball or a colorful fruit. When the hands pull
out, the ball rotates or spins, and becomes larger. When the
hands push inward, the ball rotates and becomes smaller.
2. Formal Ending Procedure.
Open the eyes, and return to the beginning position,
palms together with fingers pointed outward in front of the
chest.
(Then with eyes open)
(A). Push the feet into ground and grip the ground
with all ten toes. At the same time think that the big toes
and the little toes are gripping the ground.
(B). Contract the legs, buttocks and pelvis.
(C). Use force to contract the abdomen, tense the
whole body, firm the hands, grip the teeth.
(D). Take a deep breath, but concentrate on the three
exhalations first. At the same time, imagine that the pores
of the whole body are open and that gasses of all bad
things are going out of the body through the pores,
especially through the Yong Quan acupuncture in the
center of the bottom of the foot. Then count three breaths,
but concentrate on the three inhalations, and imagine that
all pores are closed as you inhale.
(E). Rub the hands vigorously until heated, and then
cover still open eyes with the palms. Imagine that light
from the centers of the palms goes through the eyes. That
will protect one's eyes.
(F). While inhaling, slowly massage the face from the
scalp to the top of head. While exhaling slowly, massage
down to the lower jaw. Repeat that several times (men
seven times, women six).
(G). Place the hands over the naval (men, left hand
over right; women, right hand over left), and imagine that
light enters the naval, circles around the naval (men
counterclockwise 28 times, women clockwise 24 times). Do
157
156
Approved For Release 2001/03/07 : CIA-RDP96-00792R000300430003-5

not actually count, just think the number. Finally imagine
the light going from the naval to the Dan Tian or the center
of lower abdomen.
(H). Finally, think "I'm done", and then pull hands
out.
The preparation for ending can be done several
times.
Compulsory Ending
If one does the general ending part, but cannot stop
the meditation, one can use the compulsory ending method.
1. Whenever one needs to do the compulsory ending,
one needs not worry about the problem. One should have
confidence that one can end the meditation.
2. Think that the whole body is relaxing, loosening
and drained of energy. If standing, sit down to do the
ending part. If seated, lie down to do the ending part.
3. Men pat the top of their heads seven times with
the left hand. Women pat the top of their heads six times
with the right hand.
4. After patting the head, use the forefinger and
thumb of that hand to twist the inner part of eyes 6 to 7
times. Then feel around the eye balls, the two sides of nose
and between nose and mouth for seven times until feeling
sour, a little bit paralyzed, and bloated. Then use the
middle finger to push and twist the part below the Adam's
apple, to make yourself cough. This can adjust the whole
body system.
5. Use the hand that patted your head to make a half
fist, and hit the center of the chest (the part between the
nipples) 6 to 7 times.
6. Then make two whole fists, placing the thumbs at
the first joint of the forefinger. Place these fists on the ribs
of both sides, and then make a forward bend, breathing in
at the same time. Then straighten the back, and breathe out.
Repeat that 7 times.
7. Then using the fists with a little more energy, hit
both sides of the back from bottom to top, and then hit it in
reverse direction. Repeat that 6 to 7 times.
8. Straighten the back and sit. Keeping the hands half
fisted, use the palms to pat the left and right chest, the back
and the abdomen 24 times each.
9. Bring the palms together and repeat the processes
of formal ending.
This compulsory ending is useful for people who
cannot stop the meditation. If one still cannot finish the
meditation, one can do the compulsory ending several
times. It definitely can end the meditation without any
problem.
Nine-Step-Qigong Method
The Nine-Step Qigong is also know as the Nine-Step
method of longevity. It increases longevity and healing. This
method can be exercised one step at a time, or nine steps at
once.
Step 1:
Activate the imagination and use imagination to look
at and count the breathing.
Imagine that a blossoming lotus flower with many
petals and many colors, and with dew droplets covering the
petals is located in the lower part of the abdomen. When
one exhales, the lotus flower opens and all pores in the
body close (if one has illness, the lotus flower opens, pores
also open, and bad things go out). When one inhales, the
lotus flower closes, and all pores open (if one has illness,
159
158
Approved For Release 2001/03/07 : CIA-RDP96-00792R000300430003-5

the lotus flower closes, pores close too). The intensity of
light that radiates from the lotus flower is continuously
increasing.
Inhaling and exhaling count as one each. The total
count is dependent upon your present age. The total count
should be 7 times your age and can up to 49 times your
age.
Step 2.
While breathing, imagine the heart, skin and pores.
This step is based on imagining that the light from the lotus
flower is very strong. The glowing light from the lotus
flower lights up your heart. Imagine that there is a circle of
light emanating from your heart, while continuing to
concentrate on breathing, watch the heart continuously
relaxing and contracting. Use your imagination to look
inside the heart. When exhaling, the lotus flower opens, the
heart contracts and the pores close (for people who have an
illness, pores open). The three parts should be viewed at the
same time. When breathing in, do just the opposite.
The total count should be 7 times your age, and can
be up to 49 times your age.
When the meditation is effective, one may see the
heart and the body organ. Then go on to do the third step.
Step 3.
Think of a senior blood relative, alive or not. Think
of this elder relative's healthy appearance (men think of
mothers; women think of fathers). Imagine that this elder
relative is doing meditation with you, just seven steps
away. A cooperative exchange of breathing, lotus flower,
heart, skin and pore imagery can be done as in the second
step.
If a father or mother is sick, then when exhaling, pay
160
attention to the opening phase of the heart, and the opening
of the pores. In doing so, one may help them with their
illnesses.
The total breathing count should be the sum of your
present age and the relative's age times 7, and can be up to
49 times the combined age.
Step 4.
Purposely and consciously envision an image of an
opposite-sex relative entering your body, and envision
yourself beginning to look like your father or mother (men
change to female; women change to male). The cooperative
exchange of breathing, lotus flower, heart, and pore is the
same as in step one. The breathing count is the same as step
three.
This step is a little harder, but once this step is
mastered, your appearance will be distinctly changed, and
will look younger and more beautiful. After practicing this
step for some time, and achieving some effect, go on to step
five.
Step 5.
Imagine that your elder relative (men think of
fathers; women think of mothers) is within seven steps of
you, doing meditation simultaneously with you. Use your
imagination to visualize the change of your elder relative
and the change of your inner organs and image.
Sum the present ages of three people (i.e. father,
mother and self). If time permits, count as many as 7 to 49
times the sum.

Yang told me emotionally: "Dr. Yan gave me a

thought Qigong was superstition. Now I strongly believe
that Qi of Qigong exists, it is indeed science."
Case 2
Shao Yu, a woman of 57, accidently fell while
walking outside on August 24th, 1987. When she managed
to get up again, she found herself unable to walk anymore.
X-ray examination showed that the twelfth thoracic and the
first lumbar vertebra were wedged; the upper edges of were
not smooth.
Diagnosis: compression fracture of the twelfth and
first lumbar vertebra. She was told to lay on a hard bed for
at least a month. She did it for two months, but she was not
getting any better.
On October 7, 1987, accompanied by her family, Shao
went to ask for treatment from Dr. Yan Xin while he was in
Qinghua University. After reading the patient's history, Dr.
Yan did not say much other than "I need to make a phone
call" and excused himself politely.
Some people who were present knew that there was
no telephone nearby. As soon as Dr. Yan left the room, he
walked into another room next door. Those who were
familiar with Dr. Yan's Qigong treatment methods told
Shao at once, "Dr. Yan is going to emit Qi soon. Relax and
get ready for it." Shao understood right away. While she
was sitting, she suddenly felt a hot wave fitting her waist,
her whole body was warm. Then her lumbar region was
healed immediately. She was so happy that she stood up.
At that moment Dr. Yan walked in. Shao stepped up
immediately: "Dr. Yan, my waist feels fine now", Dr. Yan
answered: "That is wonderful. We are going to the Great
166
Wall today, do you want to come along?" "Of course I do."
she said. The whole healing process took only ten minutes.
That morning, Shao Yu and Dr. Yan along with other
patients cured by Dr. Yan, climbed up to the top of the
Great Wall, where Shao took a picture which she would
never forget in the rest of her life.
Case 3
On September 30, 1987, at 9:40 a.m., Dr. Yan Xin
came to the home of an old man, where he was invited to
give a Qigong healing.
The old man was in a wheel chair. At age of 87, he
still has a clear mind and pleasant personality. But due to
a lung problem, he had trouble of breathing, so he had to
carry an oxygen tube for a long time.
Knowing that Dr. Yan is from Jiangyou county,
Sichuan province, he recalled the time when he was in the
battle field in Jiangyou in 1935.
Dr. Yan told him that memory has something to do
with life span. One who has good memory can live long.
The vital center is located in the brain. Being able to
remember something from more than 50 years ago
indicated a good basis for Qigong healing. It is important to
keep a good mood during the treatment. Optimism is the
key issue for Qigong healing.
As the conversation started, Dr. Yan rearranged seats
for everybody in the room. He asked the man's wife who
was sitting behind her husband to sit in front of her
husband, whereas the son, daughter, the son's wife, the
daughter's husband to sit behind the old man.
Dr. Yan told the family that Qigong healing requires
mergy contributed by all members of the family, treating
the old usually needs supports from the first as well as the
second generation, because youngsters have longer life
167
Approved For Release 2001/03/07 : CIA-RDP96-00792R000300430003-5

code. Adding these healthy signals (codes) together,
sickness can be eliminated through the youngsters. In this
way the chromosomes of the children are related to those of
their parents', which is called genetic codes in modern
terms. Qigong healing usually takes the form of linkage
between generations. Modern medicine only concentrates on
the patient himself, but ignores the interrelations among
genetic codes.
Dr. Yan also mentioned that coordination is very
important during the treatment; the family members should
not think the patient being a "sick person". They should
have confidence that he would be able to recover; the old
should feel they are still young. Qigong is called the
positive thinking method. It works by motivating energies
from all the family members. The secret of the process lies
in obtaining understanding and supporting signals to fight
against the illness, instead of passive and pessimistic
sympathy.
Hearing Dr. Yan's explanation, everyone thought it
very inspiring and agreed to cooperate.
As the conversation went on warmly, the ten-year
old grandson suddenly screamed few times. His mother
stopped him because she thought her son was being
naughty.
Dr. Yan told her that the old man's sickness was
exhausted through his children and grandchildren. Kids are
pure "young". They are more sensitive. While feeling
uncomfortable inside, it is better to yell out.
The old man's son and daughter also realized just
then that they felt hard to breathe, and itchy on the throats.
Dr. Yan explained that all of these feelings were
normal, would be over soon and did not have any harm
healthy people, but at the same time, it would help
channeling the Jingluo system.
In a short while, the old man pulled out the oxygen
168
tube and started breathing easily. It surprised everyone.
This happened was 50 minutes after meeting Dr. Yan.
The old man did not use the oxygen when Dr. Yan
left at 4 p.m. that afternoon. His family members reported
that since then, he used oxygen much less frequently,
sometimes stayed without for a whole day. At most he
needed it for 1 to 2 hours per day. It had never happened
before even with any other medication or treatment.
Dr. Yan also discussed the issue of healthy diet from
Qigong point of view, and stated that elaborate, but the
more variety. Green vegetables are essential to avoid
constipation and sea food is recommended with proper
amount. Qigong advocates eating whatever you want,
because what you want is what you need.
The conversation continued for 4 hours. The old man
had never sat for such a long time.
At 1:35 p.m., people suggested that Dr. Yan "connect
electric current" for everyone. The old man's wife, daughter
and son-in-law felt very comfortable after that. Therefore,
they asked whether Dr. Yan could do it for the old man. Dr.
Yan told the secretary and the daughter to sit on either
right or left of the old man in order to form a "circlet" with
him. As soon as the "circlet" was connected with the 120v
current the old man said happily that he saw some red
light. After the 120v current went through the "circlet" for
5 minutes, the old man gestured: "I feel wonderful!"
During the several hours of treatment, Dr. Yan had
emitted Qi without being noticed. The old man did not feel
tired or uncomfortable, but he was getting more energetic
and his complexion turning healthy.
Having learned the power of Qigong healing, the old
man started Qigong practice after Dr. Yan left. He put his
time table on the wall and practiced seriously.
Dr. Yan came a second time in the morning of
October 9th, 1987. This time he concentrated on explaining
the idea of "treating illness while nourishing mind" in

Qigong. Realizing the pessimistic thoughts the old man had,
Dr. Yan emphasized that at the old age, having an open
mind is crucial. Treating diseases is the same as fighting
enemies.Giving up is much more dangerous than the
disease itself. The secret of that Qigong masters' lives is that
they live in peace, never worry. Having this attitude, you
have nothing to be afraid of. Diseases will shy away.
Heard the philosophical statement of Dr. Yan, they
all praised that Dr. Yan treats not only the disease, but also
the mind. The old man was also very thoughtful. He said:
"when I was joining the revolution before, I was not afraid
of death. I'll do my best to overcome my pessimism."
Before leaving, the old man gave Dr. Yan a set of his
own revolutionary memory. On the front page, along with
his autograph he wrote down something straight from the
bottom of his heart: "Qigong indeed can cure diseases. This
invaluable Chinese heritage should be inherited and studied
extensively, so that it becomes more mature and can be
used widely to treat diseases, to prolong people's lives."
Dr. Yan now is still treating the old man by emitting
Qi of Qigong from a distance.
Case 4
Wang Rongde is a bus driver in Chongqing.
Although just approaching 40 this year, he had been ill for
a long time since a couple of years.
Wang heard long time ago that Dr. Yan had cured
many people who had serious diseases but he was not sure
whether Dr. Yan, who had "miracle power", would like to
treat him, an ordinary worker. In November 15, 1983, he
walked in Dr. Yan's clinic to give it a try.
Dressed plainly, Dr. Yan was amiable. Before Wang
introduced himself, Dr. Yan already had started feeling his
pulse. Wang explained: in 1971, he was attacked by
hepatitis, accompanied by stomachache. The symptoms
were not relieved by taking medications for more than 10
years. Half a month ago, he suddenly felt extremely dizzy
and weak. When he walked out of the bus, he felt
everything painful, ...... Before Wang finished his history,
Dr. Yan said: "your problems are not limited to the liver
and stomach, the main problem is in your heart. Now the
size of your heart is twice as normal". Then he wrote down
on Wang's history, electrocardiogram and x-ray, "Clinical
diagnosis: Ilº heart disease of auricular ventricular block
(atypical symptom)".
ECG doctor examined Wang carefully. He found that
Wang's heart was twice the normal size. Conclusions from
ECG and x-ray were consistent with those of Dr. Yan. X-ray
results: the left ventricle was enlarged towards left and
posterior. The left edge of the heart became vertical.
Narrowing of posterior space of left oblique position. Back
edge of the heart is overlapping the thoracic vertebra. ECG
conclusion: IIº auricular-ventricular block (atypical
symptom).
Wang was surprised inside, "Dr. Yan is amazing, he
found out my diseases without any examination."
Wang went back to show Dr. Yan his ECG. He
repeatedly asked Dr. Yan to issue a sick-leave note to allow
him to stay at home and rest. Dr. Yan, however, after
finishing the prescription, said to him, " I have only one
request, do not take time off while you are taking the
medication." Then, he handed two prescriptions of herb
medicine to Wang, "There are three doses for each
prescription. Alternate the two different medications and
come to see me in a week."
On his way home, Wang was puzzled, this doctor
was so strange. He did not let me take sick leave. But then
he thought, since Dr. Yan was a superb doctor, his
instructions must be right. Therefore, Wang continued to
drive at work while taking the medicine. After the first

dose, he suddenly felt much better. He kept taking the
medicine and getting better and better.
One week later (November 24th), Wang finished all
of the medications, so he went to see Dr. Yan. Dr. Yan told
him: "You are recovered from your auricular-vertricular
block." Then told him to do ECG again. IIº auricular-
vertricular block is not observed. Now it is sinal
bradycardia. Wang was so surprised that he could not
believe the miracle appeared so soon. In order to confirm
the results, he went to see another doctor. Examination
showed even the heart rate retardation disappeared. The
ECG reported: sinus rhythm and normal ECG. One year
later during annual physical examination, he had the ECG
again; it still showed normal. It has been four years since
Dr. Yan's treatment now; Wang had never had heart attack
again.
Case 5
Zhu Xiuyan, a woman of 46 years old, had many
serious diseases: arteriosclerosis in the brain, neurosis, renal
pelvitis (to the degree of losing control of urinating), (* )
of cervical, thoracic and coccyx vertebrae. More than that,
there was a thrombus as large as 13x15 mm on her heart,
which was discovered in April 10th, 1986 on a ultrasound
examination, and the diagnosis were mitral stenosis,
thrombus in left atrium.
The thrombus originated ectopic heart beat, which
could reach 150 beats per minute, the fastest was 200 beats
per minute. Her heart was trembling all the time.
Ms. Zhu was dying. She could only eat few spoons
of food each day and left only skin and bone.
In May, 1986, Ms. Zhu's husband took her from
Shenyang to Beijing to see the experts. All the hospitals,
such as the United Hospital, Fuwai Hospital, etc., reached
the same result: she had to have an operation.
But Ms. Zhu decided to go back home. She thought
if only she could live till her son went to college, then
everything was fine. So, they decided to have the operation
the following fall.
On May 13th, 1987, Dr. Yan Xin had a lecture where
Ms. Zhu's husband worked.
Before then, they did not know of Dr. Yan, only
heard that if one was in Dr. Yan's Qigong healing lecture,
a relative could get the Qigong treatment simultaneously
and be healed. With the news, Ms. Zhu started to light up
a little hope in her dying heart.
Zhu's husband called home when Dr. Yan's lecture
started, "Get ready for the lecture, dear; Dr. Yan just started
the lecture." Then, Zhu laid on the bed silently imagining
that Dr. Yan was emitting Qi to heal the sick and her. After
a while, she felt that she could breathe smoothly, which she
had not had for many years. She told her husband when he
came back. Her husband was very glad, and said, "Dr. Yan
directed remote healing towards you, that is, he emitted Qi
from a distance without meeting you. He also asked for
your hand writing description of your disease, through
which you will be healed.".
On May 25th, Dr. Yan wrote a prescription according
to Zhu's hand written illness information. Zhu made a copy
of the prescription soon after she got it, and then sewed the
original into her jacket where it would be close to her heart
and weared the jacket everyday.
Zhu could feel something soon. First, she felt tingling
in the right hand, from wrist to pinky, and ring fingers.
Then the same sensation was felt from the toes to shank of
the right leg. A short time later, this sensation spread out to
the whole body. In the following few days, she felt tired
and went to sleep. Then she slept both days and nights.
Before the treatment, she suffered from serious insomnia,
and took heavy doses of sleeping pills. After another

couple of days, Zhu felt the energy (the Qi) in her abdomen
moving up and down and out. She had cold sweats and
bloody urine for 3 days. (Later, Dr. Yan said the thrombus
was cast out through urine.)
In the morning of June 1st, Zhu went to the hospital
for a sonogram and found the thrombus was gone! Zhu did
not take the medicine Dr. Yan prescribed but just carried
the prescription. Yet the miracle happened.
Zhu started to take the medicine Dr. Yan prescribed
on June 5th, and stopped taking any other medicines. After
taking the first dose, she felt that her heart was much better.
The most amazing thing is that each dose of the
medicine prescribed by Dr. Yan had a different color and
taste. At first, it tasted very bitter and was black brown and their bikes and went to visit their friend who lived pretty
sticky. Little by little, the color and taste became lighter far away. It took about half an hour to get to the friend's
and lighter. Finally, it became a weak tea color with a faint house and they had to ride over a hill. Her husband

Everything changed as fast as a dream. Zhu could
Until then, Zhu had not met Dr. Yan yet. At 8:20

times faster than normal. The edema appeared again.
Zhu also told others about a call from Dr. Yan on
Zhu's husband told her the principals of Qigong and July 15th. "When I told Dr. Yan my symptom on the phone,
brought back a cassette of Dr. Yan's lecture. Zhu I felt hot all over my body, but something especially hot

I felt that Dr. Yan's voice was close to me, seemingly right My mouth was hardened and cold, and my head was the

sensation in my limbs. Before I realized what was going on,
my heart beat returned to normal. I felt very comfortable,
got out of bed and told my husband. My heart stopped
shaking from then on."
Zhu's understanding of Qigong increased after she
listened to the tape. On the night of June 28th, she recalled
that Dr. Yan often told his patients, "Don't worry; do what
you want to do after you feel better." Zhu said to herself,
"Everything is fine now, why don't I do something and
walk around for a while." So she told her husband and
suggested an outside walk. Zhu had not touched a bike for
almost 4 years. That very night, she and her husband rode

Especially when Dr. Yan was talking, I felt the Qi wave
surge out of the phone. The smoke-like Qi wave appeared
in the room with a strong smell of cigarette and musk After
a while, the whole room was filled with this smell. My
husband smelled this, too, and he immediately closed the
window. That night I did not use any cover, I felt extremely
hot."
On October 16th, Zhu was interviewed by Chongqing
TV station. Zhu who had stayed in bed for a long time,
climbed up a famous mountain called Wuliangguan. Under
a pine tree, Zhu told the reporter her wonderful
experiences, she said, "I 'met' Dr. Yan when I was in
extreme pain. It was amazing; more than 10 kinds of
diseases were healed within one month. That is a milestone
in my life."
Several tourists asked her, "Where is Dr. Yan ....? "
People really wanted to meet a doctor like Dr. Yan
themselves.
Case 6
When Dr. Yan uses Qigong method to heal his
patients, he transforms the sick Qi (bad energy within
patients) from the patient to himself and then exhausts the
sick Qi from himself. Sometimes he moves the sick Qi to
another healthy person and then exhausts from that person.
In the summer of 1987, a patient, C, who had a huge
malignant tumor on his neck, went to Dr. Yan, while Dr.
Yan was lecturing in Liaoning province.
When Dr. Yan was prescribing in the sitting room,
C's daughter in the kitchen suddenly felt that her neck
could not move. Dr. Yan said, "It doesn't matter." C's
daughter's neck returned to normal immediately. At the
same time the author noticed some red spots appearing on
C's granddaughter Cuicui's neck, but Cuicui did not notice
that and still played. Cuicui went over to Dr. Yan with a
big peach. Dr. Yan let her give the peach to the author.
After eating the peach, the author had a strong
reaction all over. First, he felt tingling, sour, and cold. Later,
he felt very hot, like something burning on his neck, right
arm and right hand. It was so much that he could not
move his neck and right hand. The author wanted to
experience the transformation of sickness and pain, and did
not say anything but endured. About 15 minutes later, he
felt that he could not stretch his fingers and felt like
vomiting; he had to ask Dr. Yan to relieve him.
Just at that moment, C's wife yelled in the kitchen,
"My! I can't move my neck!" The author went to the kitchen
and saw that C's wife's neck was rigid.
Dr. Yan told C's daughter, "Touch your mother's
neck and it will be okay." As soon as C's daughter touched
her mother's neck, C's wife's neck returned to normal, but
her daughter caught the pain in her own neck.
In about half an hour, Dr. Yan used Qigong method
to exhaust C's sick Qi from his neck. Dr. Yan said, "One
method of using Qigong to heal, is to get sick Qi from the
patient and transfer it to other people, and then get rid of
the sick Qi. What you just experienced was caused by
Qigong's Qi. You don't need to worry that the sick Qi was
transformed to your body; it will not affect your health at
all."
Eight months after the sick Qi transformation, the
author interviewed C's family again and saw they were all
very healthy.
Case 7
Zhang Xiaoming, an officer in the Central School of
the Party, used to be skeptical of Dr. Yan Xin's Qigong.

.
When the school first invited Dr. Yan for a healing lecture,
Zhang did not show up. After the lecture, Zhang held fast
to his skeptisim despite the favorable comments from the
audiences.
Soon afterwards, the school invited Dr. Yan again.
The admission tickets to the lecture were sold out in no
time. Zhang, nonetheless, was still nonchalant. But, unable
to resist the eager entreaties of his ten year old son, he
eventually went to the lecture.
The lecture started at 8:30 p.m. Zhang followed the
instructions of Dr. Yan. At first, he felt nothing special.
After three rounds, he started rotating all over. Zhang
thought to himself, "The magnetic field here is real strong.'
Therefore, Zhang rotated from practically the very
beginning of the lecture to the very end. It lasted nearly
seven hours.
The next day after the lecture, Zhang practiced
according to the instructions of Dr. Yan. He found, to his
surprise, that even in the absence of Dr. Yan, he could have
the movement as he had was in the lecture. In addition, the
more he practiced, the more violently he moved. The
energy within him stretched to reach the ailing parts of his
body with an uncontrollable pace.
Zhang loved to play basketball. His legs had been
injured twelve times. He had to wear kneepan in winter.
Zhang used to worry that he would have to suffer from this
chronic illness in his old age.
Yet, after only half a month's practice of Qigong, the
pains in his legs were considerably alleviated. When winter
came, he did not need kneepads at all. Moreover, he feels
at ease when mounting stairs or riding a bicycle. His left ear
suffered from neural deafness. Whenever he practiced
Qigong, he could feel the Qi gathering around the ear.
What is more interesting, after practicing for a while,
Zhang can alleviate the sickness of others as well. He
helped to relieve the pain in the neck bone and stomach of
his wife. Likewise, his son, who suffered from chronicle
coughs, got considerably better.
Once, Zhang's brother, who had an upsetting
stomach, came to visit them, just in time to find Zhang
practicing Qigong. Zhang massaged his brother's stomach.
His brother felt much better afterwards.
When the author of this article interviewed Zhang, he
said, "It is difficult to account for the suptics of Qigong. It
really should belong to a branch of science, and requires
profomal understanding. One should study it thoroughly in
an attempt to interpret its methodology. Then, people
would willingly believe in and practice Qigong. Otherwise,
those who have never practiced Qigong tend to doubt its
reliability. Some even equate it with superstition. This
surely hampers the advancement of Qigong."
Case 8
Being a Western medicine doctor for his whole life,
Dr. Liu commented on Dr. Yan after he worked with Dr.
Yan for half a year, "I'm a doctor. I believe his special and
miraculous results, even though we can't explain the
mechanism of how he heals."
Dr. Liu experienced personally that Dr. Yan healed
his wife's high blood pressure by using only a cup of cold
water drunk by their daughter. Here we just record what
Dr. Liu told us.
My wife and I have worked as Western medicine
doctors for many years. One day, my wife had a headache.
After measuring her blood pressure, we found that the high
pressure was 178 and the low pressure was 98. I said, "Take
a Tylenol; it'll be okay." Then I went to a meeting with Dr.
Yan. After a while my daughter came and said, "Mom's
blood pressure is increasing and her headache is very bad
178
179
Approved For Release 2001/03/07 : CIA-RDP96-00792R000300430003-5

now."
Dr. Yan said to my daughter, "Let me see your
watch." Both my daughter and I could not understand what
Dr. Yan meant. Dr. Yan explained, "By checking your
daughter's watch, I can diagnose your wife's health. Qigong
method can pick up the information your wife left on the
watch." (I saw he did not check the watch carefully, only
gave a single look and then gave the watch back to my
daughter.)
Dr. Yan went to the kitchen and handed a cup of
cold water to my daughter saying, "Can you drink this?"
Growing up in a family of doctors', my daughter never
drinks cold water, but she took the cup and drank it all
without any hesitation.
Then Dr. Yan said to my daughter, "Go home and
measure your Mom's blood pressure; it has become
normal."
I could not believe this. It was no more than a few
minutes had passed since Dr. Yan knew my wife had high
blood pressure. I went home with my daughter and
measured my wife's blood pressure; it was normal with
high pressure 120 and low 80. My wife told us she felt
something very hot within her body, and sweat a little bit
before we arrived home. From then on, my wife's blood
pressure returned to normal.
Case 9
A Letter from a Patient
In October, 1984, I came down with kidney failure. Thereafter,
for nearly seven years I have been given several operations,
which had only made me worse. I couldn't even stand or walk
as usual. Instead I had to use the wheelchair. What was more
devastating was that I was complicated by heart disease, gastric
ulcer, and some other diseases. On May 14, 1991, I was
extremely weak and could eat nothing.
For the first time I attended Dr. Yan's lecture, during which
Mr. Yan demonstrated the process -- how the Qi functions. I tried
on the spot. Very soon I felt certain Qi coming out from the
mouth and gradually all of my pains were gone. I seemed to be
totally released. More amazingly, after the lecture, I felt hungry
and I had a big meal. I had no such a desire in the past few
years!
Since then I have been practicing every day, half an hour or
more at a time. It's truly a fascinating experience.
First time I found myself hard to concentrate. But the second
time, I forced myself to think nothing. In a moment there
appeared a scene in front of me: I was sitting on the grass
around a lake. Opposite there were high mountains and big trees,
through which the sun was shining brightly. With the wind
stroking the branches, the sunshine seemed to be hiding itself
from time to time. At that moment I felt a fit of cold and hot.
Well, the same thing happened in my later practice, except
that I saw more things, for instance, one day, I was on a boat in
the lake and a woman with a child on her back was rowing the
boat. Somehow the boat began to rock and I, too, and such.
Afterwards in the course of my practice more was added.
Sometimes the sun was high in the blue sky; sometimes it was
covered by clouds. Washed by the sunshine, I felt hot; under
thunder and lightning, I felt cold. I remember once that I was on
a boat, but in some way I changed my place -- I was lying on the
grass. The sun was so fierce as to make me too hot to bear.
Standing up, I went to the lake and jumped onto the boat which
was still in the centre of the lake. I washed my face with the
water from the lake, feeling a lot more comfortable. Then in
another picture I was sitting on the grass. Facing me, the sun
was about to rise. I saw two men carrying an old man up the
mountain. Yet all of a sudden they disappeared, and so on so
forth. Such a thing takes place time and again.
On May 15, I was fortunate enough to have the chance to
meet Dr. Yan who encouraged me a great deal. A year later
unexpectedly I could not only stand up, but walk as before. How

grateful and exciting I was! Since then I have been exercising
everyday to build up my strength.
Besides there are two peculiar things I have to mention here.
One is that during my medical treatment, I suffered a great deal
from cramps in the back, hands and feet. But after I followed
Mr. Yan's advice, whenever the symptom occurs, something
begins to work inside my body, which greatly eases my pain until
it is gone.
Another thing is I used to have trouble in breathing, which
made me unable to lie down but sleep in a chair instead. Now
whenever I feel suffocated, I usually keep taking deep breath,
after that, I can breathe with ease. When I feel headache, I do
the same. It vanishes very soon, so that I can go to sleep.
All these miraculous changes in my body, I believe, are
brought about by Qigong. Therefore, I'm strongly convinced that
Qigong can really improve and strengthen health, as well as cure
disease. It is an inconceivable subject. And I sincerely hold that
if everybody learns it, any disease can be eliminated. In this way,
people can always live in good health and a joyful life.
Finally again I'd like to thank Mr. Yan and Prof. Wu for your
greatest help.
Truly yours,
Dora Chu

The International Yan Xin Qigong
Science Association
1) Introduction
Since the Qigong rediscovery in China and the growing
Qigong popularity all over the world, Dr. Yan Xin was invited to
visit a number of countries in Asian and North America, his
audiences totaling more than millions and millions. In the United
States, President Bush received him as a guest of honor several
times and praised him as 'sage of our times'. With a goal "to
promote understanding of oriental cultural essence, carry on
mankind's cultural heritage and enhance international cultural
exchange; to study the scientific principle of Qigong and explore
the secrets of human life; to benefit human race in better health,
longevity, peace and happiness", the International Yan Xin Qigong
Science Association (IYXQSA) has developed so rapidly that it
has attracted members from about 90 countries and areas, among
them a large number of well-known professors/scholars and high
ranking government officials.
In the United States alone, chapters spread in 30 states
and more than 60 main universities such as Harvard, Yale,
Princeton, Stanford and Columbia. Many prestigious research
institutions, among them are Harvard University, Princeton
University, Fitzer Foundation and Stanford Mind-being Research
Center, tried actively to interact with the Association in seeking
cooperation with Dr. Yan Xin in scientific research on Qigong.
Last summer the College of Acupuncture and Herbal Medicine in
Hawaii gave Dr. Yan an honorary M.D. degree. Having been
registered with the federal government of the United States as a
nonprofit academic association, with chapters established in dozens
of countries, the IYXQSA has become the largest organization of

Qigong and human body science in the world, with an effective
system of coordination.
To meet the ever increasing needs of Western Qigong
enthusiasts, a great number of Chinese Qigong references have
been compiled, translated, and distributed in the form of audio and
video tapes as well as printed material. In the meantime, great
exposure to the Western media has resulted in a large number of
newspaper and radio and TV broadcasting. The English edition of
Yan Xin Qigong and Contemporary Sciences is in print now.
Another important book, Grand Master Yan Xin in America, is in
compilation. An international periodical on Qigong and human
body science is getting ready for its first issue. An international
Qigong and human body science research information center,
instituted by the Association, has been active in collecting,
processing and distributing ancient Qigong references, and modern
Qigong and human body science research information for Qigong
enthusiasts and scientific researchers. The information center is
also establishing ties with other international Qigong and human
body science research organizations. Further structuring for this
organization is now under way.
Dr. Yan Xin, devoted to improving health, longevity,
peace and happiness of the entire human race, has shown high
virtue, superb Qigong power and miraculous mass healing effect.
His emphasis on good character and taking ancient Chinese Qigong
into modern scientific research have had a great impact on
international audiences, especially those in the Association's
historic first International Yan Xin Qigong Health Workshop. To
meet the rising demands for trained Qigong personnel, the
Association will launching an international Qigong teachers
training program. An international Qigong institution is also being
