QIGONG HAS A HISTORY OF MORE THAN 2,000 YEARS THE EARLIEST BOOK ON
CHINESE MEDICINE, THE YELLOW EMPEROR'S CLASSIC OF INTERNAL MEDICINE,
DESCRIBES THE THEORY OF QIGONG IN DETAIL: QNE'S QI, OR VITAL ENERGY,
TOGETHER WITH ONE'S BLOOD CIRCULATION AND ESSENCE, ARE THE
FUNDAMENTAL ELEMENTS OF HUMAN LIFE AND ACTIVITY. THE BODY IS CRISS
CROSSED BY A NETWORK OF CHANNELS CONTAINING VITAL ENERGY WHICH
CONNECT THE ORGANS WITH THE FOUR LIMBS, AND IT IS THIS NETWORK THAT
MAKES THE BODY A UNIFIED WHOLE. DISEASES COME ABOUT WHEN THE
FUNCTIONING OF THE NETWORK GOES WRONG AND ONE'S EXTERIOR iS NO
LONGER IN HARMONY WITH ONE'S INTERIOR. LIU HAS BEEN KNOWN TO CURE
CERTAIN DISEASES MERELY BY LIGHTLY PRESSING OR TAPPING THE PATIENT'S
ACUPOINTS WITH HIS FINGERS. WITH MY METHOD, HE EXPLAINS, I COMBINE
QIGONG AND MANIPULATION OF THE ACUPOINTS. I CHOSSE THE ACUPOINTS ON
THE NETWORK WHERE SOMETHING IS OBVIOUSLY WRONG; I PRESS THEM TO
AROUSE THE QI AND THEN I USE QIGONG TO OPEN UP THE ENTIRE NETWORK.
THIS STIMULATES BLOOD CIRCULATION AND GETS THE QI GOING AT A NORMAL
RATE ONCE MORE. IN THE EVENT OF ILLNESS, THE QI IS BLOCKED OFF AT
VARIOUS ACUPOINTS AND THE GENERAL RHYTHMIC BALANCE OF THE BODY IS
THROWN OFF. WITH THE UP BLOCKING OF THE ACUPOINTS THROUGH A
COMBINATION OF PRESSING AND QIGONG, RECOVERY MUST FOLLOW. THIS, HE
SAYS, IS THE BASIS ON WHICH HIS METHOD IS FOUNDED.
