Esoteric Qigong

Qigong, with a long history in China, was traditionally known as tu na (breath regulation), qi circulation, qi emission, qi absorption, daoyin (guidance), alchemy, cultivation, and meditation. Rooted in traditional Chinese medicine health theories, its classical principles date back to ancient times. The Huangdi Neijing (Yellow Emperor’s Internal Classic) mentions “ancient true humans,” “middle-age supreme humans,” and “sages.” Their highest realm stemmed from dedicated practice and innate qualities like innocence, simplicity, and mental tranquility—sparking the initial understanding of qigong.
