Wirkungsweise, Effekte und Studien

Zur Erforschung der Effekte von Qi Gong wie auch Tai Chi wurden in den letzten Jahrzehnten eine Vielzahl von wissenschaftlichen Studien mit unterschiedlichen Fragestellungen durchgeführt. Zum einen über den Einsatz von Qi Gong als Selbstübeverfahren, zum anderen über den Einsatz von externem Qi Gong (Qi-Übertragung oder Qi Gong Heilarbeit). Die nachfolgende Liste an Studien soll Ihnen als Ansatzpunkt für Ihre eigenständige Informationssuche dienen. Die Schulmedizin und Schulwissenschaft erkennen aufgrund ihrer begrenzten Sichtweise die aufgeführten Forschungsergebnisse in Teilen oder Ihrer Gänze wahrscheinlich nicht an. Ich empfehle Ihnen sich nach Sichtung aller Ihnen zugänglichen Informationen Ihr eigenes, unabhängiges Urteil zu bilden.

Visite-Bericht der ARD über Qi Gong und Tai Chi

Wirkungsweise externes Qi Gong:

Qi Gong Healing (in der Literatur auch externes Qi Gong, Qi Gong Therapie, Qi Gong Heilung, Wai Qi Liao Fa oder Qi Gong Behandlung genannt), hat (nicht nur) in China eine lange Tradition. Heute arbeiten im Heimatland des Qi Gong viele Qi Gong Heiler in staatlichen Krankenhäusern oder privaten Einrichtungen. Zudem gab es in China Kliniken, in denen die Patienten weder mit Medikamenten noch mit Apparaten, sondern ausschließlich mit Qi Gong und Diätetik behandelt wurden (die aktive Mitarbeit der Patienten vorausgesetzt). Die Tradition der Qi-Behandlung wird seit den 80er Jahren in China intensiv erforscht, sowohl was die Effekte auf den Menschen, auf Tiere oder sogar auf Materialien angeht und auch im Westen nimmt das wissenschaftliche Interesse an Qi Gong Healings stetig zu. Die nachfolgende Liste an veröffentlichten Studien soll Ihnen als Ansatzpunkt für Ihre eigenständige Informationssuche bezüglich der festgestellten Effekte von Qi Gong Healings sein. Eine abschließende Beurteilung über Qualität und Aussagefähigkeit kann an dieser Stelle nicht übernommen werden. Die Schulmedizin und Schulwissenschaft erkennt die in den Studien enthaltenen Forschungsergebnisse aufgrund ihrer eingeschränkten Sichtweise in Teilen oder Ihrer Gänze sicherlich nicht an. Ich empfehle Ihnen sich nach Sichtung aller Ihnen zugänglichen Informationen Ihr eigenes Urteil zu bilden.

Externes Qi Gong über Distanz:

Auch externes Qi Gong auf größere Distanz (durch Gebete, Meditation, Energieübertragung, Konzentration etc.) ist möglich und sehr effektiv, da Energie keine Begrenzung durch Raum und Zeit kennt. Daher nutzen viele Traditionen weltweit (z.B. indigene Kulturen wie die Indianer Nordamerikas oder die Schamanen auf Hawai), aber auch z.B. die christliche Tradition diese Art der energetischen Behandlungen über Distanz. Die Quantenphysik bestätigt die Grundannahme der buddhistischen Tradition, dass wir alle untereinander und mit allem verbunden sind, daher hat unser Wirken auch Einfluss auf alles und jeden. Eine Trennung ist nur die Illusion unseres rationalen Alltagswachbewusstseinszustands. Im Alltag erleben wir ständig Auswirkungen dieses Umstandes, meist jedoch völlig unbewusst. Informieren Sie sich in den unten aufgeführten oder anderen Studien über bisher festgestellte Effekte. Die Schulmedizin und Schulwissenschaft erkennt die Forschungsergebnisse sicherlich in ihren Teilen oder ihrer Gänze nicht an.

"Kürzlich weckte die Möglichkeit mein Interesse, dass Fernheilung, Fernwahrnehmung und andere solche Phänomene über ein physikalisches Feld vermittelt werden, ähnlich einem elektromagnetischem Feld, aber eins, welches über weite Distanzen nicht schwächer und nicht durch Hindernisse wie Berge, Meere oder sogar Zeitverschiebungen blockiert wird. Dies ist möglich, wenn sich die Linien dieses Feldes in einer höherdimensionale Raumzeit ausbreiten und nicht divergieren, wenn sie in einem Ziel konvergieren. Dieses Feld gleicht einem Soliton. Verschiedene Kandidaten der Literatur fallen da ein: Monroes M-Feld, Sheldrakes Morphisches Feld, Salters fünfdimensionales Lebensenergie-Feld, das chinesisches Qi etc." -Prof.Dr. Ronald Bryan, Kernphysiker

"Es gibt kein größeres Heilmittel als unser tiefstes Wesen. Wir brauchen nicht zu suchen. Wir müssen nur die verdeckenden Schichten ablösen, um seiner heilenden Kraft teilhaftig zu werden."  -Willigis Jäger, dt. Benediktinermönch
