The 3 disciplines, EFHB, qigong, and Traditional Chinese
Medicine (TCM) are considered to have risen from a common
background. The ancient Chinese theory of gi, and its systematic
approaches constitute most of the foundation. For instance,
EFHB is thought to depend on the presence of gi in appropriate parts
of the body, and " jinluo" (The traditional " meridian lines network")
is the claimed channel $ for gir. Evidence for the physical #
existence of meridian lines was recently reported by medical groupes
(Zhu, 1986; Zhu, et al., 1986; Feng, 198). The theory is somewhat
idealistic, and its various elements are not measurable. Unfortunately,
Western parajpsychologists have no better theory to offer , Dr. Gian Xuesen ,
who thinks of ai as a kind of informational continuity of essential
importance to all living things, emphasizes the necessity for psi
researchers to study TCM theory and qigong practices.

Researchers used a variety of analytical instruments in an attempt
to detect any " radiations " That might be produced by ( psychics) . In these
investigations, signals ranging from infra-red emissions modulated by low
audis frequencies to gamma photons were detected, although many of the
affects were weak ,
Dr. Qian Xuesen, a leading physicist, and several other tap
researchers pointed out that these signals were probably only secondary
manifestations of an underlying information carrier, " q" (which means
" air ", " gas " , " spirit " , or " vital energy in Chinese ) , and not the underlying
carrier itself .
as a special practice, qigong originated in China and had been
systematically developed as early as 500 B. C. In general, quigong practice
concerns concentration of thought, rejecting external stimuli, adjusting breath,
and " controlling the movement of qui . " It is agreed by all schools ( of Qigong )
that, by sending gi to certain parts of the body through the "meridian
Channels " (acupuncture/traditional Chinese medicine terminology) and by practicing
in certain ways, psi abilities can be attained." although The initial
purpose of practice is to regain the gi lost while growing up, There
are said to be abilities more profound # Than si , which can be
attained by higher level qigong masters who can " freely control gi
by the mind and cause it to flow through the entire body,"
# a Usually these masters
will not accept a pai researchers invitation to join a scientific effort.
However a number of lower-level masters in China are sufficiently well trained
to be able to exercise thông por abilities

Dr. Qian Kursen is quoted as saying
.
Chinese
qigong is modern
science and technology - high technology - absolutely top
technology ." Dr. Xuesen was probably persuaded to say this as a
result of an experiment run by Lu Zuying and colleagues of The
Qinghua
Department of Chemistry and Biological Sciences at
a University
which is the country's top technological school.
In these experiments (1986-198), qigong master you Xin, typically
working at a distance of several kilometers, was able to create, shift,
intensify absorption peaks in the infra-red, ultra-violet, and
paramagnetic resonance spectra of biological media. In other cases,
phase-change parameters were shifted . It has been reported that he
is able to effect similar changes over a distance of 2,000 kilometers. If these
reports are true, the mind- matter relationship must be more profound
than most Western parapsychologists are willing to admit.

Beijing Immunology Study Center in a report
Chinese Qigong Medicine: Present and Future (no date)
speaks of the human " aura " and says " Scholars
have determined that humans and other material in the
living environment all have such ' anna' waves . . . .
Scholars scientifically explaining all this feel that this is
the fourth new world's mystery. There is a definite relationship
between these anal reactions and activities of the brain,
ideas, consciousness and the spirit."Qi apparently can
manipulate these
auras to promote health ( in the
context of this article).

"The Chinese qigong study was proposed at the 11th Party Congress
Third Plenary Session, and it has become a systematic policy
of the Party . "
Qigong science "is not limited to subjective senses and clinical
general testing ( chemistry, physics and physiology) but it has
developed to apply molecular and microbiology, electronics,
electrochemistry, magnetism, microwave and mathematics; and it
penetrates into and merges into various fields of science . It has
deeply penetrated so that its relationships and functions
with macro-would and micro-would can be explored , "
