Qigong  Latest research

With the development of neuroscience, psychology, biophysics, quantum physics and other fields, the existence of Qigong can be explained biofield interactions that organize biological processes from the subatomic, atomic, molecular, cellular, and organismic to the interpersonal and cosmic levels. Qigong may bring about the regulation of cellular, biochemical, and neurological processes through ways related to electromagnetism, quantum fields, or other means of modulating biological activity and information flow. The biofield interactions of Qigong are thought to operate in part via low-energy or subtle processes such as weak, nonthermal electromagnetic fields and processes potentially related to consciousness. There are many ways to observe the human electric field in modern science such as electroencephalographic and electrocardiographic. However, the study of Qigong requires more advanced equipment. For example, Gas discharge visualization (GDV) uses a high-frequency and high-voltage field to stimulate weak photon emission, followed by the application of optics, electronics, and computer processing to form images of the weak photon emission. GDV techniques are currently used diagnostically based upon the characteristics of images with proprietary means of correlating these data with acupuncture systems or other means of assessing the biological state. A study reported significant changes in cancer patient GDV scans when compared with healthy participants, and a change trending toward healthy GDV profiles after 6 weeks of treatment. These intriguing data suggest that informatics based upon biofield measurement devices such as the GDV may be useful for gaining a deeper understanding of disease states and guiding practitioners and their patients towards states of greater wellness.
