Mingtong Gu – Sound Healing Through Qigong

What is the Qigong meaning of wholeness of body, mind and heart? In this introduction to the Wisdom Healing Qigong teachings, Master Gu will guide you in experiential exercises to cultivate your awareness of the interconnectedness of all aspects of your being with the energy all around you.

You’ll start to see how stress and the challenges of life affect your health and wellbeing and your organ systems in particular.

In this first module, you’ll learn:

• About the ancient energy system of Wisdom Healing Qigong
• Elements of starting a daily Qigong practice at home: movement, meditation, sound and visualization
• 3 Secrets of Wisdom Healing Qigong
• Steps for starting a 50-day ‘Gong’ and tips for a dedicated practice that brings results

In the second session, Master Gu will share teachings and a practice of the key Qigong heart sounds that can open your heart to lasting happiness. You’ll learn how stress and judgement contract the heart, and about effects of “the story” of an illness, emotional loss or sadness on the cardiovascular system.

In this module, you’ll:

• Learn the movements of Lachi that allow you feel and direct Qi within the body
• Practice the sounds for opening your heart
• Explore the Golden Key Teaching of Inner Smile for Meditation
• Experience more joy and a stronger sense of connection with life
• Continue your home practice

Why Opening Your Heart is so Important? An open heart is central to your overall health. It allows you to go beyond the mind, beyond the body and beyond any diagnoses to access greater possibilities for healing and wellness. An open heart helps activate a deeper sense of purpose and, most importantly, helps you tap into more energy, joy, love and harmony. The greatest contribution you can make to your overall well-being is to open your heart and infuse your cells, your body and your life with the energy of love and joy. – Master Mingtong Gu

In modern times, the catalysts of fear are just a click away on your smartphone or computer. This fear doesn’t just stay in the mind, it moves into the kidneys, prostate, ovaries and adrenal glands. The Qi becomes frozen.

Master Gu will guide you to rebalance your kidney and reproductive system so that the Qi flows again. A Qigong-balanced kidney transforms fear into creativity and contributes to overall wholeness — in health, work, family and the world.

You’ll learn the sounds of the kidney to cultivate the inner wisdom needed to take charge of your fears and move ahead in your life.

In this module, you will:

• Learn energy movements of hip rotation
• Discover the sounds for the kidney
• Release old stories of fear and awaken new levels of creativity
• Receive a strong remedy for fear-causing situations
• Apply the teachings of the “3 A’s” to activate change

In Module 4, we will focus on the wholeness of the digestive system, to restore confidence, while also improving digestion. The pressures of a fast-paced, project-driven work and home life — with an excess amount of information to process — magnifies the worry to get it all done. Worry stagnates and blocks the digestive system.

In this module, you will:

• Review the movements of Hip Rotation and Spinal Bone Marrow
• Feel the supportive energy between your organs
• Learn an antidote to worry that you can apply in all areas of your life
• Celebrate 21-day Gong
• Bring appreciation into the digestion of our food, life and energy

In Module 5, we will cultivate the voice of inner wisdom, so that you can clear the mind, release extreme anger and discover the courage to take decisive action for change. At every age, we are faced with challenges in relationships with our work, friends, colleagues and our world, and also with our health. A purified and harmonized liver has both the courage and righteousness to guide us to take right action. We will learn how to purify and transform anger right when it is emerging — before it clouds our liver, spleen, lymphatic and immune system.

In this module, you will:

• Review the movements of Spinal Bone Marrow
• Learn the sounds for the Purification System
• Find ways to transform old and recurring issues of anger
• Discover the healthy side of anger
• Gain the tools to purify and transform anger when it starts to emerge

Module 6 provides teachings and practice focused on restoring balance to the lungs, thyroid gland, skin and hair. With loss of loved ones or our own health and vitality, and by bearing witness to the sad events in the world, we can be overcome by grief, sorrow and lingering depression.

The Wisdom Healing Qigong practices for the lungs can help release the congestion and are also beneficial for lung conditions like asthma or colds. These practices support taking “a full breath of life.”

In this module, you will:

• Learn the movements of Chen Chi
• Understand how to practice more deeply using the 3 Golden Keys (Trust, Practice and Experience)
• Deep wisdom about Wisdom Healing Qigong for taking a full breath of life

Module 7 integrates the whole self in harmony and balance, to heal ourselves and to heal our world. Through six weeks of dedicated Qigong practice, the students will be experiencing a greater wholeness of body, mind and heart. Now, we’ll focus the sounds on renewing the mind’s clarity, as intention has a powerful ability to transform and direct Qi so it flows within the body to each organ system — and into the world for the benefit of others. We will explore the disconnection that occurs during illnesses (such as Parkinson’s), and how to rebuild the communication pathways.

In this module, you will:

• Understand the Qigong perspective of your five organ systems
• Learn the value of continuity, repetition and dedication in your practice
• Activate the Wisdom Brain with Shenji sounds
• Experience whole-brain integration
• Celebrate completion of 50-day Gong

The experience of joy, aliveness and wholeness awaits you.

This bonus introduces the jewels of Wisdom Healing Qigong Sound Healing that bring balance to the five organ systems for emotional health and well-being, and includes an album to learn the sounds with the guidance of Qigong Master Mingtong Gu.

Qigong recognizes that emotions are a very powerful energy force, creating either a positive and beneficial experience in health, relationships, work creativity — or a negative and defeating experience. From a Qigong perspective, emotions are an energetic experience in the organs, rather than a feeling arising in the brain. The book features Wisdom Healing Qigong Sound Healing teachings with step-by-step practice instructions, illustrations and organ system charts, and the album includes the five sets of healing sounds, meditations and a Five Organ Integrative Sound Healing Practice Session.

Practicing these sacred sounds helps to bring harmony to the deep energy patterns in each organ, so that when all organs are harmonized, a new, healthy and stable emotional pattern can emerge. For example, the sound for the kidney transforms fear or a sinking feeling into alertness; and the sound for the heart transforms hate into happiness. Sound Healing is one of the foundational practices of Wisdom Healing Qigong. It is helpful for chronic and acute health conditions, for discovering wellness at any age — and especially beneficial during times of stress or loss. Master Gu says “The emotional patterns that are held in our organ systems can keep us in our past stories of pain and loss, or be transformed to support realizing our true capacity.”

This 100 Day Gong Chart makes it simple to record every Wisdom Healing Qigong practice, and includes tips to stay motivated. “Gong” means “practice of,” and 100 days of dedicated practice is the key to beginning a new journey cultivating health, happiness and vitality through Wisdom Healing Qigong. Master Gu invites students to take one day at a time until you reach a month — allowing the mind-body to start to connect on new levels — until you reach 100 days of practice. This chart helps you on the way to completing your first Gong! At the end of 100 days, students can send in their completed Gong for a certificate from The Chi Center.

The ancient masters have long recommended 100 days to realize deeper benefits for aging, and especially for chronic or acute health conditions. Modern medical neuroscience research now confirms that it takes about a month for sufficient neural pathways in the brain to start being built and a new habit to feel natural, otherwise it feels normal to slip back into old ways, even if it made you unhealthy and unhappy. See how many Gongs you can complete!

In this bonus, Master Gu leads you in the Wisdom Healing Qigong sounds for the heart that open the energy to awaken happiness. The stresses of modern living, loss or disappointment in people, our work and our world cause the heart energy to contract.

For people facing health crises, like depression, Parkinson’s or chronic fatigue, it is essential to open the heart Qi or energy. When the energy is too contracted, we experience hatred and discontent. Through these ancient healing sounds, the heart can return to its natural state, which is a state of happiness. This teaching invites you to watch, listen and practice along with Master Mingtong Gu. The Heart system is one of five organ systems that the Healing Sounds of Wisdom Healing Qigong focuses on for renewing balance and harmony.

Because these modern times are infused with deep worries about health of oneself, others and the planet, Master Gu leads these teachings to bring balance to the kidney and reproductive system. A sound healing practice allows the Qi to stay strong and gentle like water, yet flowing. When fear, shock or hatred consume us consistently, which can occur from health, financial or planetary concerns, this flow is interrupted, and the water “turns to ice.” Your kidney Qi is unbalanced if you feel depleted, or unnecessarily afraid or angry. A frozen Qi affects the hormonal, reproductive and skeletal health. People who are undergoing intense health treatments for cancer, for example, can naturally experience great fear, but this practice can allow the Qi to flow, and students report a positive change in their experience.

This teaching invites you to watch, listen and practice along with Master Mingtong Gu. The kidney system is one of five organ systems that the Sounds of Wisdom Healing Qigong focuses on for renewing balance and harmony.
