The Collective Qigong Practice
When members of the group at such lectures feel the influence of the qi field, some of them may be balanced of their disorders or have their conditions improved, while some people could shout or cry, sway or move around, and some people confined to wheelchairs even get up and walk again. The scientific community in China thought these qi fields are strange. Are the effects psychological, or do they come from the qi?
To seek the answer to this question, they did some experiments. Wang Yaolan and Lu Zuyin of the Chinese Academy of Sciences High Energy Physics Institute have done many such experiments. They invited Dr. Yan Xin to give a lecture, with emitted qi, at the Political Institute in Beijing. Wang Yaolan brought a lithium fluoride heat-releasing light detector of a type usually used for measurement of radiation dosage. The idea was to check the indicator to see if it responded to the qi field. The result was that, by the end of the three-hour-and-ten-minute lecture with emitted qi, the instrument registered a very strong response to the qi field.
In October 1987, they took measurements at four different lectures with emitted qi by Dr. Yan Xin, at different places, and also did similar tests on two other Qigong practitioners. It gave the same result. This shows that Qigong energy fields have an objective reality.
The skill/technique of "collective field creation" used by us qigong practitioners for group Qigong practice or healing, also has an objective basis. In this "collective field creation" practice or healing technique, we use mind power of intention to saturate and shower an area or group of people in different ways, to gain more access to the immediate environment at that moment. Then the head practitioner sends their energy to the entire group, and in this way we achieve our results more easily in this way. This is a traditional East Asian skilled technique for using mind intention/attention to influence an area, often applied in classes, healing enclaves, lectures with emitted "qi energy". So scientific experiments not only advance our knowledge, they also provide an data answer to those who have their heads stuck in the intellectual clouds and try to deny Collective Qigong, Psychokinesis, Telekinesis and Remote Viewing Healing of Traditional Schools.
Notes:
This first article above is just a starter on Dr. Yan Shin. I had heard about him in the mid 1980's and interest was always there. Recently in May 2016 the Professor whom I was studying advanced Qigong Healing with surprisingly, in conversation stated he had taught Yan Xin Qigong for quite sometime. To back his story up he brought out many old pictures of Yan Xin practicing with him. Yan Xin looked younger and not as polished as he is in popular publications. This was very interesting since it shed much light on the how Yan Xin became famous for "Collective Healing" and "Remote Healing" abilities. Also interesting is and very typical how the professor was never given credited for teaching much of Yan Xin's base methods. I guess he wanted to protect his popular place in Qigong.
So moving on, I have several publications and obscure footage on him. Throughout the years several Master level teachers friends of mine had studied his method; and I was always amazed by the beyond the surface details he had taught. His story is mysterious, full of lore and muddled within the rise and fall of Qigong from the late 1970's up to summer of 1999. Read Qigong Fever by David Palmer, a well written book that gives a great deal of what went on in Central China.
Dr. Yan Shin was considered one of the most popular of Qigong masters. He was a unknown doctor of Chinese medicine until he performed a miraculous healing that appeared in the local newspapers. He healed and gave lectures in China and in the United States. Many scientific experiments have been done with him and received much overage in the media. He wrote many books and appeared in lots of Chinese Qigong Journals as well. He became the most popular with many of the large Qigong factions. He pretty much has disappeared out of the popular circles or visibility due to politics, and lots of other factors. Stories and lore of Yan Shin still circulate throughout Qigong groups everywhere. Will he remerge for a new era?... one can only speculate.
Throughout the years the various stages of Yan Shin Qigong has been promoted by many they knew it. Its been adapted from traditional Qigong, which are shared practices in many traditions. It hard to say to what extent whats been kept in or modified. More to come in the future.
