Research continues to show the profound health benefits of Qigong energy practices. More and more, we are coming to realize that these ancient medicinal techniques correspond to modern scientific understanding of the body in amazing ways.
Consider the following excerpt:
"Every part of the body, including all of the molecules so thoroughly studied by modern science, as well as the acupuncture meridians of traditional East Asian or Oriental medicine, form a continuously interconnected semiconductor electronic network. Each component of the organism, even the smallest part, is immersed in, and generates, a constant stream of vibratory information. This is information about all of the activities taking place everywhere in the body.
Complete health corresponds to total interconnection. Accumulated physical and/or emotional trauma impair the connections. When this happens, the body's defense and repair systems become impaired and disease has a chance to take hold. [...] energy therapies restore and balance the vibratory circuitry, with obvious and profound benefits. The body's defense and repair systems are able to repair themselves.
Many individuals, both scientists and therapists, have contributed valuable insights to this emerging picture of how the body functions in health and disease. Phenomena that previously seemed disconnected and unrelated are now complementing one another, giving us a more complete understanding than we could have obtained by any single approach." (Oschman, 2000)
