Chi Kung Grand Master Professor Wei Ling Yi is a world-renowned and recognized
authority in the science of Chi Kung. He is the President of the World Qigong Head
Office Association and since 1995 he has held seminar workshops and has lectured
widely in Europe, America and other parts of the world.
Chi Kung or Qigong, as it is spelt using Chinese version, is an ancient system of life
cultivation that focuses on using the original creative Yi Qi—the power of the
universe—to promote personal good health, family harmony and world peace.
Wei Ling Yi teaches the Lotus Great System of Qigong, which is the highest form of
qigong practice.
Professor Wei Ling Yi has been appointed and entrusted with many teaching
positions and research projects in various universities in China including Beijing
University and Qin Hua University. Through his years of experiment and research,
Grandmaster Wei Ling Yi paved the way for Qigong as materia medica and as an
academic subject in China.
In 1993 he founded the First International Qigong University at the foot of Emei
Mountain in Sichuan, China. He is well known for the education of high-level Chi
Kung masters and experts in the unfolding of human potentials. Through the years,
not only has he been recognized as a medical scientist, but has also attained the
respect as a spiritual guardian and an enlightened Lotus Chi Kung Master.
Lotus Qigong which has been developed by him stands in the tradition of internal
alchemy and makes use of the classical methods of relaxation, breathing
accompanied by body movements, exercises in motion, meditation, visualisation,
mantras, mudras and his transmission of Qi.
Qi - The Basis of Qigong
The Qigong tradition in China is based on the existence of a universal life-energy principle
called “QI”. This energy is fundamentally necessary for the vital functions of all beings. In
the human organism the cosmic Qi is received by certain receivers of the body.
Qi (chi) circulates within the body in the subtle energy channels called meridians and
provides energy to every organ and to every single cell.
Illnesses develop if the energy circulation is disturbed for over a certain time, if blockages
emerge in the flow of Qi or if the body takes negative information and accumulates it.
The healthy energy flow can be affected by certain toxic, destructive substances, by
harmful mental “fields” as well as by mental or psychic processes.
For instance, by continuous, diligent and a longer duration of the practice of Yi Qi Kang Ai
Gong devised by Professor Wei Ling Yi for persons suffering from cancer, the activity of
the cerebral cortex and the pituitary gland rises while the oxygen content and the
nourishment of the cells improve.
The mental and physical equilibrium will be balanced. Meridians and blood vessels relax
and are more permeable. The quality of qi and blood improves. The immune system is
stimulated and increases the activity of the anti-cancer specific defence cells. If the
practitioner manages through his practice to reach a high Qi-level, cancer cells can be
destroyed.
This Yi Qi complimentary method in the treatment of cancer has been devised to function
in tandem with Western medicine, surgery, chemotherapy and other methods.
As can be seen from the above, Qigong, with over 5000 years of observation and
rich treasures of knowledge, is taking its responsibility to share it with the western
scientific community.
The basic idea is to incorporate the experiences of the East and the West through
science and culture, and with the resulting assimilation to promote a more
humane civilization in harmony with the natural environment.
Promoting the practice of Qigong among western scienti fic community is particularly
important for the future because if scientists practise Qigong, it will enhance their
abilities to reach new dimensions of knowledge still unknown today. This rests on the fact
that the human brain stores cosmic energy and information.
Lotus is symbolic of the universe and the great Dao. In the lotus culture, the lotus
encompasses a wide meaning. It is more than a plant, more than a symbol of morality, it
is an entire Fu Hao (yantric sign) that contains a myriad phenomena.
It is symbolic of the entire universe. The myriad things are within its representation.
Every petal of the lotus represents a thousand great worlds. The entire lotus represents
three thousands of these great thousand worlds thus encompassing all things of this
universe.
This world is an embodiment of Tian (Heaven), Di (Earth) and Ren (Man). In its entirety
and singularly, they all correlate completely. Hence they possess all the original
characteristics and qualities of the lotus being transmuted from it. A lotus stores the
secret codes to the entire information system of the universe.
The lotus expresses the principle governing the elevation, descent, opening and closing
mechanism of Qi in the human body. The lotus growing out of the water surface
represents the rising mechanism of Qi. The falling of its seeds into the water and mud
represents the descending mechanism. The growing root and blooming flower represents
the opening of Qi and the stage where it bears seeds means the closing of the Qi. The
whole cycle of the lotus sprouting from seed, growing roots, blooming flower, bearing
fruit (seeds) is a movement of life. It allegorizes that principle governing the rise, fall,
opening and closing of human body`s Qi mechanism.
The Mother Earth Festival activities convey a message to the earth spirit that a
number of its children are genuinely concerned about its state and are willing to
help to reverse the environmental deterioration and to raise the level of
awareness among the people for the future of our planet.
The Street Parade in honour of our Mother Earth is usually a kaleidoscope of multi-
ethnic talents and the different styles of music and dancers attract a number of
people along the route it pursues down the sunny Berlin streets on a Saturday
morning.
What people say − Experiences of practicing Qigong
“Over time, I’ve achieved a certain evenness in temper, no longer becoming upset or
negatively affected by things that happen in my life. The practices are so simple and
practical. If I notice I’m in need of energy I rub my hands for a few seconds in order to
create fragrance and inhale the fragrance, which fills my body with Qi. This has made a
big difference in my life.”
Kerstin, Berlin.
“Since I first attended a seminar with Sifu, Wei Ling Yi, my life has changed profoundly.
I’ve been practicing the Great Lotus System for 3 months now and have gained a much
deeper awareness of myself in a physical, mental and spiritual way. I have a deeper sense
of love for all people and find peace within myself.”
Eric, Bremen.
“My husband and I feel so much better after doing our practices. I love the subtle inward
integration of mental understanding with the connection of the body experience and
spiritual energy flow.”
