Qi-Kong 氣功 Practice Is To Use Focus and Forms To Tune The Frequencies of Various Organ Vibrations

This note is a continuing story of the previous post describing what I understand from reading the book of "Melody of Qi" 氣的樂章 written by Dr. Wang.

In previous notes, I have described that a human body is like an orchestra with 11 set of wind instruments, each set plays one key harmonics. These 11 set of wind instruments help blood circulate through the body with resonance-vibration-assisted capillary flow. In orchestra, if one of the instruments is out-of-tune, the music played by the orchestra will be out-of-tune. In body, if one of the organ's harmonics is out-of-tune, the person will be sick. To help the orchestra play beautiful music, a conductor will ask each musician to tune his/her instrument. Similarly, the sick person will ask help from doctors to tune the harmonics of the the organ that is out-of-sync.

Qi-Kong 氣功 exercise is to train each of us tuning the harmonics ourselves through focus and forms. Will Qi-Kong 氣功 work? Or, let's ask the question more specifically. Would our body's harmonics respond to Qi-Kong's 氣功 focus and form practice?

Let me recall the relevant literature that may relate to the answer of this question. The first literature was about how a predator (say lion) synchronize his chasing pace with the running pace of prey (say deer) at the moment of the predator's attack on the prey. The chasing images was captured with a high speed camera and analyzing with a computer software. This article was published in the Scientific American. Since I am physically in Taiwan, I am not able to locate this article. But the key point of the article is that external event can trigger the synchronization of an animal.


Another relevant article which was published in the Science magazine analyzed the menstrual cycles of a group of women living together. The authors reported that after living together for a period of time, the menstrual cycles of these women were synchronized. This article says again that human being can respond to the external world to synchronize her biological function.


Qi-Kong 氣功 relies on focus and forms. To best achieve its goal for tuning the harmonics, it is best practiced with a group, with a soothing music and soft suggesting voice (for hypnosis effect) and with a relaxing body and a focus mind. It is not easy. But its benefit is immense.
