Qigong, chi kung, or chi gung (simplified Chinese: 气功; traditional Chinese: 氣功; pinyin: qìgōng; Wade–Giles: chi4 gong1; literally "Life Energy Cultivation") is a practice of aligning breath, movement, and awareness for exercise, healing, and meditation.[1] With roots in Chinese medicine, martial arts, and philosophy, qigong is traditionally viewed as a practice to cultivate and balance qi (chi) or what has been translated as "intrinsic life energy".[2] It is generally accepted that Qigong exercises have three components: a posture (whether moving or stationary) 調身, breathing techniques 調息, and mental focus on guiding qi through the body 調心. The prerequisite is a calm relaxing state of mind. [3] Qigong is now practiced throughout China and worldwide, and is considered by some to be exercise, and by others to be a type of alternative medicine or meditative practice.[4] From a philosophical perspective qigong is believed to help develop human potential, allow access to higher realms of awareness, and awaken one's "true nature".[5]

You're talking about Qigong, Chi Gung, (Or other various romanizations)…

Nothing new here, while they are persecuted unjustly (as every cult deserves a little bit of freedom) I would be weary of their claims…

Falun Gong is the persecuted cult... Not qi gong, which is what I call ultra-simplified tai chi for the idiot dummies! It's so easy to learn!
A practical question would be "How many of these people are immortal?" If 95% of disease can be healed through Chi, these people would be living hundreds of years before that 5% death rate caught up with them, no?
