With a Harmonious Heart and Kind Qi, a Long and Healthy Life Will be Attained 

by Ou Wenwei  

Regarding the subject of how a person can maintain his or her good health, the outstanding Chinese culture has always particularly emphasized the invisible functions of an individual’s heart and soul.  Expressions of this emphasis can be found in some of the most popular idiomatic sayings: “a broad heart [a broad mind] contributes to physical well-being”; “when the heart is calm and at rest, then reasonable and undivided thoughts will form”; “a big heart—a happy spirit”; “the heart and the body get exhausted together”—all these phrases refer to the special functions of the heart.  Of course, the “heart” I describe here is not the actual physical organ inside a flesh-and-blood body; however, it is indeed a commanding mechanism that does literarily exist inside the human body.  In terms of modern common understanding and usage, this “heart” refers to intelligence, thoughts, emotions, attitudes, etc.

Through various studies, modern science has discovered that for people who are subject to bad moods (such as depression and anger) over a long period of time, a particular substance will develop inside their physical bodies and interfere with the regular operation of their immune system.  On the other hand, for people who have a peaceful and happy heart (calm and peaceful mindset), even if they get sick, they will recover more quickly.

Based on these understandings, in the past 35 years I have been endeavoring to study the relationship between the human heart and soul and the physical body, and the relationship between humanity and great nature.  Through repeated experiments and practice, I have arrived at a conclusion: with a harmonious heart and kind qi, a long and healthy life will be attained.

“Harmony is unification: close coexistence.”  (Pan Gu Mystical Qigong, p. 125)  Kindness means those acts that benefit both other people and oneself with no harmful effects of any kind.

A harmonious heart refers to that quality by which an individual tries his best to keep a calm and positive mindset and to match that mindset with the laws that govern the physiological operations inside the human body, and to match the principle of being kind and friendly to others with the practice of maintaining an environment that is good for all people to live in and thrive.  Thus the wastage of physiological functions will be reduced, and the regular operation of internal functions will be guaranteed.

Kind qi refers to the positive qi of heaven and earth and the essence of the sun and moon (in terms of modern language, life energy that is both beneficial and harmless), which, through special exercises, a person can absorb efficiently.

By integrating a harmonious heart and kind qi, the result of good health, happiness, and long life will be attained.

I have been practicing these special exercises for thirty-five years, and over the past twenty-eight years I have never lost my temper; just as one would expect, I have a record of being healthy with no sickness for the entire thirty-five-year period.

In order to let other people achieve the well-being and happiness that I have achieved, twenty years ago I condensed my understanding derived from my successful experience into therapeutic methods for people to practice with: the heaven-and-earth, sun-and-moon, self-healing exercise and Ou’s music therapy.  For those who have continued to practice these methods on a daily basis, they have all received good results for their health.  By now the exercise has spread to more than thirty countries with over 200 thousand learners.

Five typical cases are presented below.  The people involved all suffered from serious illnesses before they learned the heaven-and-earth, sun-and-moon self-healing exercise; they all recovered completely after practicing the exercise continuously for a period of time.

Case one, Mr. He Wugen.

Mr. He is now 66 years old.  In 1992 he was diagnosed with severe heart problems: coronary artery disease and angina pectoris; he was required to take medicine and to go on sick leave.  In February and March of 1993 his condition became very serious; several times he suddenly lost consciousness and fell to the ground.  He was sent to hospitals, but his condition soon became out of control.  He ended up having an acute episode at a hospital—again losing consciousness and falling.  After he was rescued, several specialists gave him a careful final diagnosis and informed his family members that his heart condition was so critical that he could die at any moment.

In June of 1993 he learned my heaven-and-earth, sun-and-moon self-healing exercise and has continued to practice it ever since.  In August of 1993 he recovered and went back to work.  It has been seventeen years since then, and his heart diseases have never recurred.  In addition, his arthritis and a chronic stomach problem were both cured spontaneously.

Case two: Ms. Li Liqiang.

Ms. Li is now 58 years old.  In 1984 she began to have angina pectoris.  She was then diagnosed with tachyarrhythmia, a heart in counterclockwise rotation, and inverted T wave.  In 1991 she had two episodes that sent her into a state of shock.  Her skin appeared to be black and she was too weak even to twist (dry) a towel with her hands.  Later in 1991 she learned my heaven-and-earth, sun-and-moon self-healing exercise.  After three months of practice, she was able to carry a 60kg propane bottle from ground level up to the sixth floor.  Her angina disappeared and her heart diseases were healed.  In addition, her stomach pain and joints pain were gone too.

Now she not only enjoys a healthy and happy life herself, but is also able to help many others.  Last year, while taking care of her hospitalized unconscious mother, she had to stay awake for fifteen nights while at the same time attending her daytime job and doing her housework.  She remained, however, very energetic.

Case three: Mr. He Qixun.

Mr. He is now over 70 years old.  In 1994 he was diagnosed with colon adenocarcinoma stage II-B.  After being operated upon he was extremely weak.  In that same year he learned my heaven-and-earth, sun-and-moon self-healing exercise.  Since then he has continued to practice it diligently.  It has now been sixteen years since his operation, and he lives happily and healthily.

Case four: Mr. Liang Binggui.

Mr. Liang is now 47 years old.  In October of 2004 a liver tumor (25x27mm) was discovered during a physical exam.  He went to a large Guangzhou hospital to get reexamined and was diagnosed with liver cancer.

He learned my heaven-and-earth, sun-and-moon self-healing exercise at about the same time that he received the diagnosis.  After half a month of practice, his complexion was better and he had gained ten pounds.  He went back to hospital for another reexamination, which indicated his tumor was under control.  After a total of forty-eight days of practice, the tumor in his liver had totally disappeared, according to a CT scan.  At the same time, both his cholecystitis and gastritis had also disappeared.  Now he has a healthy complexion, vigorous energy, and a high quality of life.

Case five: Ms. Zhou Fengling.

Ms. Zhou is now 50 years old.  In October of 2005 her CT scan showed “a tumor of the size of 9.9x8.3x9.0cm in the posterior segment of the right lobe of liver, alpha-fetoprotein (AFP) at 329.23mg/ml (the normal values < 44ng/ml).”  Her doctor told her that she should have an operation immediately; otherwise she would live only one more month.  She could not, however, afford the operation, nor did she want her daughter to go into debt because of it; as a result she did not tell her family members about her sickness.

   In May of 2006 her tumor became bigger.  A CT scan reported that a huge round shape low density block shadow of 10x13.8cm was in the posterior segment of the right lobe of liver and AFP was 390.61mg/ml.   Her condition was getting worse and worse: extreme pains all over her body and no sleep at all with a twenty-pound weight loss.  She prepared to die.

In June of 2006 she learned my heaven-and-earth, sun-and-moon self-healing exercise and Ou’s music therapy.  Since then, every day, besides eating and sleeping, she has spent every minute practicing the exercise, reading my books, and singing/listening to my healing songs.  Three months after first learning the exercise, an examination indicated that her tumor was only half of the size as before!  The block shadow size shrank to 5.2x4.8cm and AFP reduced to 5.04mg/ml.  After five months of practice, her hepatitis B virus index became negative (she had suffered from hepatitis B for more than ten years).  She gained twenty pounds.

In August of 2007 her medical examination reported: liver size and shape were normal, the visceral peritoneum was smooth, the light dots inside the liver were uneven and thicker with stronger echo.  In the right lung lobe there was an uneven echogenic mass of the size of 29x22mm and the edge was rather clear. 

Today she is able to sing and dance.  She is healthy and happy.

Besides these five, there are numerous other successful cases in which patients have recovered from various diseases, such as lupus, rheumatoid arthritis, kidney disease, diabetes, and so on.  Therefore, I sincerely wish that more people will accept this method of self-healing that “with a harmonious heart and kind qi” can bring you a “long and healthy life.”
