Master Mingtong Gu is one of the World's Leading Practitioners of Zhineng Wisdom Healing Qigong.

He brings his joyful spirit, uplifting teachings, and extensive mastery to his intention to train others to expand wisdom and energy.  He has mastered the unique ability to lead the collective energy field to accelerate personal and global healing.

Named The Qigong Master of the Year by the World Congress for Qigong and Traditional Chinese Medicine, Master Mingtong is a sought after speaker, healer, and teacher for retreats and workshops around the world.

As a Qigong Master, Teacher, and Healer based on his success working with people of all ages with many physical, emotional, and spiritual challenges, Master Mingtong founded the Wisdom Healing Qigong method to make Zhineng Qigong accessible to Western lifestyles and cultures and to benefit people around the world.  The Zhineng Qigong lineage stems from 5,000-year-old Chinese wisdom traditions we now know as Qigong.

Master Mingtong didn't discover Qigong while he was growing up in China. His childhood was very poor, unprivileged, and unstable due to multiple adoption placements and then returning to his birth family at age 8.  He suffered from scoliosis and asthma, leaving him in a body that was full of pain.

Through diligent study, and always being one of the best students in every grade, he left home to attend college at age 16.  From an early age he was driven to create his own success.

At age 22 he left the country of his birth for America and studied Mathematics for 4 years at UCSD and Harvard. However, living in a wealthy country and earning two Masters in mathematics didn't make him happy... and no amount of medical treatment could improve his scoliosis or asthma. He realized he was living a joyless life.

After he got in touch with a deep longing for happiness, almost overnight he let go of his career as a mathematician and followed his heart to study fine arts. He rediscovered himself, his passion, his freedom and his pathway to creative expression, while earning an MA in Photography and an MFA in Multi-media Art.  But  even while doing something he loved, there was an emptiness that he couldn't fill.  He was lost. 

Not long afterwards, an American friend introduced him to the practice of Qigong, and he knew right away that Wisdom Healing Qigong was the answer he had been looking for — that through practice he could discover the fulfillment of his heart's desires and the healing he didn't even know was possible.

Originally, he began practicing as part of his spiritual path...but what he didn’t expect was that it would help him completely resolve his medical conditions, after everything else failed.

When he felt chi for the first time, “I felt a sense of lightness, flexibility and inner-beingness which I had never experienced before... I felt energy flowing and connecting beyond the physical. I turned inwardly to my own body and felt a surge of energy pulsing through my arms and entire body. It was a blissful feeling beyond anything I experienced prior...”

That’s when he knew this was something important he needed to explore deeply.

Master Mingtong's dedication to Qigong led him to discover Grandmaster Dr. Pang Ming and the Medicine-less Qigong Center in China, where he  apprenticed intensively for several years. After the completion of his Masters-level training with Grandmaster Pang, Master Mingtong came back to the West, determined to dedicate his life to the teaching of Wisdom Healing Qigong, with his 100% dedication and commitment to the vision of healing and awakening of humanity.

"I didn't return to my old job as an art teacher in the US.  I had no home or bank account, nor any source to obtain paying Qigong students. Yet I was determined — and willing to do anything to dedicate to my new life purpose.  While I was in China, I had not only healed myself from the 'incurable diseases' of asthma and scoliosis, but more importantly I discovered my True Self and began to realize a new depth of joy and fulfillment through Wisdom Healing Qigong" he says.

Now, for more than twenty years, he has continued to trust his calling and do everything possible to share the amazing gift of Qigong he received, practiced, and mastered.

In order to realize his vision of long-term health and happiness benefits for all, he has subsequently developed a network of teachers and purchased & renovated a beautiful retreat center just outside Santa Fe, New Mexico — the only center in the West to be solely dedicated to healing and awakening through Qigong.

Through his commitment and vision, he and his extended organization have helped hundreds of thousands of people uncover their own joy and healing too, using Wisdom Healing Qigong.
