“What’s your experience of your body and the world?” Teacher Wei asks.
Take a moment to pause and reflect on that.
Most of us define “reality” through our sensory organs. Designed to give us unique information about ourselves and our surroundings, these specialized organs can help us make “sense” of our bodies and navigate the world. From the time we were babies, we’ve received increasingly more sensory information, and society has taught us to trust that information. So most of us come to experience the world as solely physical. And the bodies we want to heal? We think of them as flesh, bones, organs, tissues, and cells — components we can analyze, touch, and fix.
The world indeed has a physical dimension. But if we only live at this level, we are greatly limiting ourselves. “Each of you is a master with great wisdom and abilities,” Teacher Wei asserts. “Have you slept long enough? Are you ready to wake up?”
Awakening to Qi for a Healthy and Abundant Life
What we’ve been asleep to are the invisible and subtle dimensions of life. Through Qi Science, we’re researching the characteristics and principles of qi — or subtle energy — and learning that everything is qi. Beyond their physical forms, our bodies are energy fields, ever flowing and vibrating. Everything we can see, hear, smell, taste, and touch through our five senses are also comprised of energy fields. Teacher Wei refers to this as “the qi of everything (every thing).”
Beyond the qi of everything is the purest qi of the universe — also called Original Hun Yuan Qi (HYQ), or Universe Qi. Formless and empty, this pure qi is everywhere but doesn’t occupy any space. It creates and transforms all things. Original HYQ is so pure that, despite being everywhere, including infused throughout our bodies, it lies beyond what our sensory organs can detect; it also lies beyond our mental reference frameworks to comprehend, because these frameworks are largely informed by our five senses.
Dr. Pang Ming, the founder and “big teacher” of Qi Science, illuminated the importance of practicing with Original HYQ. When your consciousness (mingjue) merges with the this finest qi, you are connecting to the Source of the universe. This is the simplest level of practice — and the most profound for transformation — because it is pure potential. With no form, there is little for our thinking minds to fixate on, and its state of emptiness means anything and everything are possible.
To come to this higher level of practice, you must give up your attachments to the qi of everything and open your mingjue to directly merge with the Source. Since this pure qi lies beyond your five senses, the only way to experience it is through your consciousness, by the simple act of choosing to merge. When your mingjue merges with the purest qi of the universe, your health and life will naturally become harmonized. You move your body, and know that you’re also moving the qi of your surroundings. You walk past someone, and know that your qi field merges with theirs. When your consciousness merges with your qi body, you reflect the beautiful information of life and know that you are this entirety [state of oneness].
And when this happens, you wake up to the “being of the universe” and embody, “I am the infinite oneness!”

6-Minute Video of Teacher Wei
In this 6-minute video, Teacher Wei reflects on going beyond mental and emotional fixations. Receive this harmonizing information deep into your cells.
DAILY PRACTICE: OPEN AND CLOSE IN THE 4 CENTERS
Why Open and Close? Tian ren he yi 天人合一 means “we humans and the universe are one.” We can experience this state of oneness by merging our qi bodies with the qi universe, and the simple practice of Open and Close is a powerful way to experience this. Direct experience can serve as an affirmation to our consciousness that the universe is indeed qi, and catalyze deep healing.
Through Open and Close, you become the universe. You also awaken to the infinite existence of Mingjue (Pure Consciousness).
Practice: Find a few times during your day to do this for 10-15 minutes. If helpful, set an alarm on your phone during breaks in your day.
Take the sitting posture. Crown of the head gently lifted up toward the sky, feet planted on the floor, connected to the earth below. Take a few deep breaths into your abdomen. Relax.
Close your eyes (or soften your gaze).
Set a good Mingjue entirety state (in this 6-min video, Teacher Wei guides a collective field setting).
Hold your arms in front of the forehead, connecting with Upper Dantian, the energy space in the center of your head. Cup your palms with your fingers slightly spread out, like they’re holding a small qi ball, gently, not too tight. Relax the arms, hands, and fingers.
Use your elbows to lead your arms and hands to slowly open and close. Your fingertips are facing each other — as if the fingers are connected by fine, invisible, lines or webs of qi. The center of your palms are also connected by qi lines, through the laogong energy gates in the middle of the palms. As the hands and fingers open, it may feel like your fingers are expanding and lengthening. By expanding your qi fingers a little, the qi between the hands can become stronger and more powerful. Concentrate on the empty space between your palms and the empty space of Upper Dantian, merging.
Continue the open and close movements. Gently expand your arms, from the elbows. Your shoulders and shoulder blades also follow the elbows in opening and closing.
Practice Open and Close for Upper Dantian for a few minutes. Then allow your qi arms to float down to in front of the chest; do Open and Close there for Middle Dantian to harmonize the energy space of the qi heart, lungs, and breasts. Then allow your qi arms to float down to just below your rib cage, in the upper abdomen, to do Open and Close in the Hun Yuan Palace, or the qi space associated with the pancreas; this can help harmonize all the inner organs’ qi and hormones. Lastly, allow the arms to float down to in front of the navel, for Lower Dantian. Do Open and Close there for a few minutes.
When you’re finished, raise the qi ball to above the head. Turn the palms down toward the baihui (the crown of the head). Then slowly lower the palms, pouring qi down through the head, neck, chest, and abdomen. Place palms on duqi (the navel).
Rest a while there.
Reflection Question:
Always hold this in mind: Who is breathing and who is practicing Open and Close?
DEEPENING YOUR PRACTICE
We offer creative materials that may support you to deepen your observations, connect better to the practice, or to understand the theories. Review them as you feel inspired. Keep whatever supports your process; disregard if not useful. Better yet, find other materials to personalize your practice.
1. In this 6-minute video, you can glimpse the incredible deep space of the universe through the Hubble Space Telescope. As you watch it, know that Original HYQ is finer yet. And if you’re called to watch this again, relax your gaze and bring your awareness to pure qi all around and within you.
2. In this 1-minute video, you can toggle between the physical form of the dancer’s body and the qi fields that comprise it. Afterward, bring that information into your own body, and know that you are mingjue (pure consciousness) embodying your qi body.
