For thousands of years, in the relative quiet of their isolated hermitages, dedicated priests, scholars, warrior monks and healers, used uninterrupted generations to hone and refine the practice of Qigong.

Through lifetimes if disciplined prayer, meditation, and physical training, these dedicated souls expanded their conscious awareness of this unlimited potential that is in, of, and all around us.

In the “laboratories” of the temple schools the dedicated adherents forged the connection. In this alchemical process, these ancient practitioners blended Qigong with the individual and diverse styles they trained in.

The connection was forged. The Temple Schools used Qigong to tap into, harness, and channel this fundamental force of life, this energetic behind time and space.

The Taoist and Buddhist priests sought more time to contemplate and attain enlightenment. They used Qigong to enhance and master their physical bodies and lived long lives. It was said in some religious temples, “if you only lived to be 150, you died a young man.”

The warrior monks, already highly skilled at combat, used Qigong to enhance the power of their martial skills. They learned to defy physics with their athletic prowess, and learned how to move unseen, and silent.

The healers birthed Acupuncture and Energy movement to aid and heal others. The healers and acupuncturists learned and fostered the ability to channel energy through themselves, then direct the Chi out to specific areas and organs of their patients.
