Master Yng, Jwng-Mng has made it his lifes purpose to research and translate all of the available ancient documents pertaining to the subjects of Qgng and Internal Cultivation. His extensive scientific background, paired with his training in Soft (Tijqun, ), Hard (Long Fist, ), and Soft-Hard (White Crane, ) martial arts, empowers him with a comprehensive insight on the subjects of human physiology, universal electromagnetic energy, and the relationship between them.

Ancient Buddhist, Daoist, Qgng, and martial arts documents are often fragments, each discussing a certain aspect of its training, from the authors unique perspective based on his or her experience and contemplation. These documents are truly among the most precious artifacts of human history, sometimes passed down in the form of songs and poems, transmitted from teacher to student. Because many documents are only a piece of the puzzle, Qgng and Meditation are frequently misunderstood, or passed down in an incomplete form. In an effort to preserve this accumulated knowledge, most of Master Yngs works are written as stand-alone documents, offering readers worldwide a complete overview to the subject matter, as he works toward a Unified Theory of Qgng.

Several chapters in this book offer information discussed in Master Yngs previous works. If you have truly assimilated this information already, you are encouraged to move on to later chapters. However, as Master Yngs tireless research continues, his insight expands, and it may benefit the reader to humbly read each chapter and again immerse oneself entirely in the subject, starting with its general concepts and theories. Master Yng is fond of scolding his students for neglecting fundamental training, saying Dont be a Jedi too soon.

Many cultural and spiritual centers have been destroyed in times of war. It is impossible to know how much knowledge, and how many written works, have been lost forever. It is impossible to know what the future holds for humanity, what humanity holds for itself, or how much of todays scientific and spiritual information will survive.

I share Master Yngs hope that the interrelated subjects of Qgng, meditation, and human bioelectricity will continue to be researched and will become an important focus of scientific, medical and spiritual study. In 100 or 500 years, the situation on Earth (and other planets) will be so different that it is nearly impossible to conceive. We must hope that by then things will have changed for the better; that humanity has rediscovered its common spirituality, reopened our third eye, and created a balanced and peaceful global society.

If not, I hope someone finds this book.

Qgng is a science of inner feeling which relates to spiritual cultivation.

This definition may strike the Western reader as somewhat strange, since it fuses an Eastern concept of biologic energy and the idea of science, together with feeling and spiritualityconcepts which are usually quite separate in Western thinking. But the very essence of Qgng is its union of physical, mental and spiritual issues into one discipline.

Western medicine is just beginning to explore the role of meditation in various forms as a legitimate adjunct to other approaches. The concept known as mindfulness, in which meditation consists of focus on breathing and the attempt to empty the mind of linear thought, is one such modern application. Though not as popular as it once was, transcendental mediation represents another form. Tij, sometimes described as moving meditation, is, of course, one of the oldest forms but one which is enjoying a modern resurgence, even in alternative medicine where it is used to aid with a number of medical problems such as high blood pressure and ulcers. Yoga has also been practiced, sometimes in conjunction with mindfulness practice, to achieve some of the same states of tranquility. Finally, in the scientific community, studies of the so-called relaxation response represent another form that this method may take in current practice. Producing results ranging from feelings of inner harmony and tranquility to actual decreases in blood pressure, these techniques have gradually found a place in popular awareness and fields of healing.
