Zhan Zhuang Qigong (Lin Kong Jing)

If you want to develop internal Jing, you must practice Zhan Zhuang (standing-on-stake). – Master Paul Dong

Zhan Zhuang Hun Yuan posture creates Qi Field

My first experience with Ling Kong Jing started unintentionally during my normal standing Qi-healing session with my clients years ago. I noticed that my clients appeared to move backwards whenever I raised my hands to do Qi-healing without physical contact. These unusual phenomenon which occurred frequently started my inquiry and research on Ling Kong Jing, the empty force, for energy healing and self-defense. My theoretical premise was that if Qi can be used for Qi-healing, then it can also be used for self-defense.

The practice of Zhan Zhuang Qigong aligns the body’s EMF with the Earth’s EMF and enables the body to root down, and increase our ability to induct and conduct this EM force. The longer, and the more you train, the stronger your electromagnetic field (EMF) gets. This is essentially how Lin Kong Jing, the empty force, manifests when called on for healing or self-defense.

The practice aligns the body’s EMF with the Earth’s EMF and heaven’s Tian Qi, spiritual divine energy, purifying the physical body, calming the emotional body, and opening the heart/ elevating the Spirit together with building the Three Treasures – Jing, Qi and Shen – developing the Energy Bubble (Lightbody) leading to whole body enlightenment.

Twenty-five years ago, I had no knowledge of Ling Kong Jing before that time which was as mysterious as Qi-healing itself, I became a motivated daily Zhan Zhuang Qigong practitioner when I read and viewed Paul Dong’s book “Empty Force” and his student Sifu Rich Mooney’s book “Ling Kong Jing”. Practicing the standing like a tree meditation, Zhan Zhuang Qigong, as taught by Sifu Rich Mooney made a big difference in my progress in using Qi for energy healing and most of all, for self-defense. My previous knowledge and training in Qi-healing with the sitting and standing non-moving and moving Qigong and meditation practices have assisted greatly my standing meditation postures in developing strong, smooth-flowing Qi channels, and strengthening and expanding my auric electromagnetic field (EMF) which I believe make the use of the empty force for energy healing and self-defense possible.

The introduction of Zhan Zhuang Qigong practice and its healing benefits also made me interested in doing a thorough research on the Guru Yoga of Tibetan Buddhism and studied Qi Dao (Tibetan Shamanic Qigong) taught by Lama Tantrapa (2009) after I watched Buddhist Master Dondrup Dorje (aka Leung Fong or Dr. Yeung) do several excellent demonstrations on Ling Kong Jing with lectures on Buddhist related topics such as Buddha nature, compassion and emptiness, void power, energy bubble, empty force and classical Qigong with the Tao wisdom application discussed at Kong Jin Qigong.

Disclaimer: Any Qigong form including Zhan Zhuang Qigong and other forms of energetic arts including kundalini meditation should be learned from a qualified teacher to receive Qi transmission and prevent kundalini syndromes such as spaciness in the head, psychosis, headaches or heart discomforts that are the after-effects and result of being unconnected to the Earth (i.e. ungrounded), and qi congestion in the meridians and acupoints.

In closing, as Sifu Rich Mooney said, “I respect each person’s opinion, for that is how he or she is; but to those who discount this ability, I have a challenge: if you would dismiss it as fraud or magic, train in it yourself to get to the truth of the matter.”
