For David Shu, the science was obvious, once he started training. His qi kung master insisted on following training sessions in a specific sequence that required him to relax and control his breathing before proceeding to the next stage. Today he is practicing taichi chuan, even though he remains skeptical about other alternative paths to health.

However, the scientific, step-by-step approach is precisely what puts some people off–particularly those looking for a crash course and an immediate cure. Lee Feng-shan says this is not the right attitude to have, but admits that some eccentric teachers–so-called “inspirational” masters, some of whom teach qi kung without practicing it in a serious manner themselves–do exist.

“Only those with the right attitude can seek out the true master,” he says.

But, equally, say qi kung masters, once students choose their teacher, they have to follow the teacher’s instructions to the letter if they want to achieve the desired results. Determination and confidence are also not to be underestimated.

“It was easier for me to become healthier through qi kung because I accepted it when I saw it happening,” says Shu, who maintains that those who do not practice whole-heartedly could even end up with worse health, if they take up qi kung while suffering from cancer. “If they lack confidence while using qi kung therapy, they sometimes end up going back to the hospitals, where the doctors blame them for seeking help in alternative treatments.”

For Shu, his experience proves that qi kung qualifies at least as an alternative to orthodox Western medical treatment.

“Now I advise my patients to avoid surgery unless it is obviously necessary, and recommend they take up qi kung,” Shu says. “Often I offer a second opinion that differs from that of other doctors, and I spend time communicating with my patients, telling them about the importance of living a relaxed life when fighting illnesses.”

In other words, Shu has become a convert, and teachers such as Lee Feng-shan are not alone in believing there is great potential for the development of qi kung. With 40 years of experience behind him, Lee has now established nine centers islandwide where thousands of qi kung learners, including children, carry out their moves. There are also courses exclusively for cancer patients, who number more than 100 currently, while the master travels abroad several times a year to promote qi kung and exchange views with local qi kung researchers and practitioners.

In the meantime, although qi kung is gaining acceptance as a means of attaining good health, it remains an alternative, auxiliary therapy, and much of society chooses to ignore it. Perhaps for most people, it is simply a case of having never experienced it first-hand.
