Zhineng Qigong: The science, theory and practice

"Zhineng Qigong: The Science, Theory and Practice" by Ooi Kean Hin offers a comprehensive exploration of Zhineng Qigong, an influential form of Qigong that integrates traditional wisdom with modern scientific understanding. This book delves into the foundational concepts of Qi, the life force according to ancient Qigong masters, described as an intangible, primeval element fundamental to the universe’s creation—known variously as dao, taiji, or yuan qi, and here referred to as primeval hunyuan qi.

Ooi Kean Hin bridges ancient theories with contemporary scientific discoveries, explaining how everything in the universe, at its most microscopic levels—from molecules to neutrinos—originates from the same fundamental building block, or primeval qi. This perspective aligns closely with modern physics’ quest to understand the universe's origins, from the Big Bang to the roles of subatomic particles like quarks and neutrinos.

The book not only provides a theoretical framework for understanding the mechanics of Qi but also offers practical guidance on applying the principles of Zhineng Qigong to improve health and well-being. Readers will find insights into how this practice can enhance physical, mental, and spiritual health, providing a robust tool for healing and personal transformation.
