Master Mingtong Gu joined Andie to talk about a 5,000 year old form of Chinese medicine called Qigong for mind, body, spirit connectedness, balance, and healing. He received his Qigong training under Grandmaster Dr. Pang Ming, a Qigong grandmaster trained in Western medicine and traditional Chinese medicine, and the founder of the world’s largest Qigong hospital. Based on what he learned and saw first hand about the incredible healing power of energy — Master Mingtong Gu knew his calling was to return to the States to teach. He founded The Chi Center just outside of Santa Fe, New Mexico, and has been helping thousands of people ever since.  It’s a great honor to have Master Mingtong Gu on Wisdom Radio to help us learn more about the mysterious power of Qigong energy healing.

Find Your Passion
Larger than life or small . . . the fire burns within until the wind dies. Too much focus on the fire fails to recognize the importance of the air – the giver of flame.

The air is not showy. It's not seen at all and yet it contains everything the fire needs to burn brightly.

You need to ask yourself, what is my air? What gives me the will to breathe...to fill myself with the mysterious essence of life itself.

For when you know, when you discover, the breath becomes deep and satisfying. It fills the bellows that are your lungs to fuel the fire that is your life's passion.

Pearls of Wisdom

A lot of people turn to Somatic practices for healing, living life in balance, and discovering their authentic self. Join me as we learn together with Somatics teacher, Kathryn Kimball from Berkeley, California. Somatics has actually been evolving over a long time and its approaches are used in a number of fields—including psychology, movement, dance, and bodywork. The field has been influenced by many other practices, both Eastern and Western — but what they all have in common is they use your internal awareness to bring unknown parts of yourself and your experience into the known. Somatic learning makes the unconscious conscious, and in the process leaves you with more options for moving, acting, thinking, and living. 

Here are some of the resources mentioned during the conversation.
