Emei Mountain – Birthplace of Golden Shield Qi Gong

The tradition of Jin Gui Golden Shield Qi Gong originated five hundred years ago in the temples of Emei Mountain in Western China. It is a rare “Temple Style” of Qi Gong which develops exceptionally strong physical bodies and youthful energy extremely quickly.

Dr. Don Zhang, DAOM, PhD has found that these rare Qi Gong forms are valuable for everybody and emphasizes the health aspects of these forms. Dr. Zhang introduced this system of Qi Gong to the West in the early 1990′s, having developed the knowledge for health and longevity rather than as a martial art.

For this reason, it is important to stay healthy and warm during the season. If the Qi circulation is weakened, muscles will not be able to warm the body properly. continue reading »
