Qi-gong, the study of the energy field of the body, is directly related to physical, emotional, mental and spiritual. Chan Buddhism of Shaolin Temple has helped exponentially progress of the Qi-gong, being conscious of the role that the Qi plays in spiritual progress. The Shaolin Qigong begins by strengthening the body, proceeds with the development of energy (Qi) and then with the mind control (placing the mind in a neutral state), to finally reach spiritual enlightenment .

The objectives of the Shaolin Chi Gong are five:

• 1) to maintain health;

• 2) treat the disease;

• 3) extend life;

• 4) acquire the ability martial

• 5) attain enlightenment or Buddhahood.

Although almost every exercise of Qi-gong to fulfill more than one of these purposes, the Shaolin Temple there, not less, four main approaches to the Qi-gong:

• -Academic

• -Therapeutic

• -Martial and

• And spiritual.

The Shaolin monks believe that good health is not just physical activity alone outside: we must also build the foundations inside (Cong-Nei-Zhu-Li) strengthening the mind (Xin-Xiang-Zhi-Yun-Nei-Gong Dong), through years of mental introversion. The monaco rafforzar must at the same time, inside and outside of itself (Xing-Ming Shuang-Xiu).

Xing means "natural characteristics, personality, temperament or attitude" and covers the interior.

Ming means "life", and refers to the life or death of the body visible. Xuang-Xiu means "Educating both." If you want to Global Health is necessary to cultivate the character inside and strengthen the body is al-l'interno outside.

The Monastic Order of Shaolin Chan teaches to access the inner part of the personality through

• respiration,

• concentration,

• meditation (Chan),

• Qi-gong exercises,

• devotion and

• prayer.

These activities introspective, based on silence, enhance security and strengthen the will, the conditions that lead to inner strength. Rebalance the energy within these disciplines, creating health, vitality and mystical powers. India, China and Tibet have always been at the forefront of science and mysticism is not uncommon to see, both ordinary people and ascetics, develop amazing powers.

”, correttamente definito quindi “addestramento o studio del Qi che richiede molto tempo e fatica”. At Shaolin, we often use the term Gong "Gong Fu" (Kung Fu), which means energy and time, ie a studio, work or training that requires a lot of energy and time to be ¬ es to the level of mastery. Apply this term to all practices Shaolin that takes time, energy and patience, such as meditation or "Gong-fu of silence" and Qi-gong or "Gong-fu inside," properly so called "training or study that requires a lot of Qi time and effort. "

Since Qi is the source of life, the major objectives of the study and practice of Qigong are health and longevity. Man is a part of nature and is included in its cycles: enuclearsi it also causes irreversible psychopathology, so it is in the best interest of everyone to follow the Way of Nature. This is the meaning of "Dao", "The Way of Nature."

The Shaolin tradition has deepened and passed on many different aspects of human Qi:

• -L'Agopuntura,

• -Acupressure (An-mo),

• -Tuina,

• -Herbal medicine,

• -Power supply,

• -Taijiquan,

• Tong-il-zi-gong (the Yoga of Shaolin)

• -Meditation and

• -Qi-gong.

The use of acupuncture, acupressure, nutrition and herbal treatment is now become the foundation of Traditional Chinese Medicine, while meditation and the practice of Qi-gong remain predominantly an exclusive privilege of the monks for the improvement of health, to treat and prevent certain diseases and to achieve the lighting.

Until recently, the practice of Qi Gong Shaolin Temple has been kept secret and the common people only knew the Acupuncture and Qigong exercises for health or martial arts. Over the past twenty years, the Shaolin monks have made ​​available to all these secrets through publications and training courses in Chinese language teaching. Chinese doctors have finally been able to scientifically verify the Qi-gong of Shaolin on a more extensive and demonstrable, realizing its great efficacy in the treatment of many diseases, including degenerative and onco-equivalent.
