It will provide a prestigious showcase for some of the world's most powerful Qigong Masters and practitioners."

    What is Qigong? (pronounced "chee kung") Qi is breath or vital life force and Gong is to work or cultivate the Qi.
    It is the powerful five-thousand-year-old Chinese energy healing system for health of body, mind and spirit. Scientific research has proven that medical Qigong can promote health, boost the immune system, cure disease and extend life where all else has failed.

    The Congress recognizes all effective styles of medical Qigong and energy-healing systems from cultures around the globe. Sound scientific research and policy issues will be presented.
