As resourceful, important and widely available as the I Ching is, Liu says very few people read it or even understand it. Having studied qi gong for more than
30 years, Liu, 64, says the key difference between a grand master and master is that he or she has to be well -versed and understand all seven areas of qi gong - martial arts, self-healing, longevity, intelligence, helping others to emit external energy, spirituality and discovering extraordinary human powers. You also have to know Chinese herbs, acupuncture, moxibustion, the I Ching and Chinese astronomy.
There are many different forms of qi gong, as well as different types of qi gong masters and schools, and at least several hundred different types of exercises. Liu, who was born in the Shangdong province in Northern China and raised in Shanghai, says he learned qi gong from the best natural healers living in the mountain caves between the borders of Hunan and Guangdong.

“It was during the cultural revolution in China in the 1960s,” recalls Liu. “I wanted to complement my western medical background with natural healing, and my mother, who was in charge of the hospitals in Shanghai, said there were no outstanding masters in Shanghai (at that time) and suggested I go to Southern China. That’s where the genuine, best natural healers reside.
“In qi gong, there are different types of training methods and goals, and the process is different. Qi in Chinese is energy and gong is work, so all this pertains to how you harness and master energy and how you use this energy.”
