What is Qi-Field?

Qi-Field is a unique features in Zhineng Qigong. When a Qigong Laoshi harmonises nature’s Hunyuan Qi with the ‘group-effect of a training field, a Qi-field ia formed. This ‘group-effect’ can be attained by a large group of Zhineng Qigong practitioners training together in one venue. The group-effect can assist a practitioner to improve his own training skills, healing ability, and qigong research and experimental works. Thus, Qi-field formation is the first routine for the Laoshi in a training session. Qi-field behaves like a magnetic field where the strength of the field is directly proportionate to the number of magnetics bars present. Hence, the presence of a large practice group will create a strong Qi-field.

Therefore, all practitioners should strive to form a strong Qi-field during training and this can be achieved through the use of mind to unite and harmonise their individual Qi with the group’s Qi and the nature’s Hunyuan Qi.

With this understanding of Qi-field and it’s benefits, PSZQM had organised group-practices open to all members from all centers to participate in it’s monthly event. For the month of July, PSZQM is organising a group practice at Dewan Kompleks Belia Bandaraya, Jaln Cheras Kuala Lumpur.

The details of this event are as below.

Qigong Camp, Myne Resort Sandakan – Day 1

Sandakan is the second-largest city in Sabah, East Malaysia on the north-eastern coast of  Borneo. It is located on the east coast of the island.  Sandakan is known as the gateway for ecotourism destinations in Sabah, such as the Sepilok Orang Utan Rehabilitation Center, the Rainforest Discovery Centre, Turtle Islands Park, Kinabatangan River and Gomantong Caves.

Persatuan Senaman Zhineng Qigong Malaysia (PSZQM) wish to extend our heartfelt thanks to Persatuan Senaman Zhineng Qigong Sandakan Sabah (PSZQSS) for organising this retreat and inviting PSZQM to be part of this qigong camp. Kudos to the organising committee for an excellent job in ensuring that our fellow qigongist feel very much at home, the warm hospitality shown overwhelmed the hot and humid tropical rainforest climate.

The journey begins…….

Day 1 (01/06/2012, Friday)

By 5.30am everyone had arrived and gathered at LCCT airport. Most of our fellow members were already up as early as 3.00am and was told that some did not sleep at all (probably due to over excitement). Flight departure at 7.15am and arrival at 10.00am Sandakan airport.

Arrival at Sandakan Airport, 01/06/2012, 10.00am

On arrival we were received and welcome by PSZQSS President Ouh Mee Lan Laoshi, Committee Member Yeu He Shun Laoshi, Organising Chairperson Annie Voon Laoshi and a few others members tasked to usher us to two buses waiting outside the airport.

Warm welcom by PSZQSS team

The journey to Myne Resort where we were to stay for the next three days takes approximate 2 hours. Woo Yit Wan Laoshi and Chu Nyuk Lan Laoshi welcome us on-board on one of the waiting buses.

Woo Laoshi brief about the journey to Kampung Bilit where Myne Resort were located in and serve us with bottled drinks and Char Siew bun each as refreshment to fill our tummy while on the road.

Chu Nyuk Lan Laoshi & Woo Laoshi serving drinks and buns to their guests.

The road leading to Myne Resort is a two-way trunk road. Travelling were slow as the road were narrow and overtaking were cautious. Largely the area leading to Myne were under developed as it’s evident from the condition of the houses lining along both side of the road. Further away from Sandakan town, most of those houses were fitted with rain harvesting sytem for their source of water supply. We wonder if they do gets clean taps waters for their daily needs, but with the sight of waters pipes left lining along certain stretches of the road uncompleted, gives the impression that they  very much on rain and underground water as their source of water. We were baffled that the people living in this region were without proper water supply. Palm tree plantation were a common sight along this journey.

Finally arrive at Myne Resort main lobby at about 12.30pm proceeded to the function hall nearby to collect our keys and the Camp’s T-Shirt.
