Primordial qigong is a three-dimensional physical mandala, and as such it encompasses all of the primary aspects of Taoist philosophy: the concepts of yin yang, the trinity (heaven, earth and man), the Five Element wuxing theory of Traditional Chinese Medicine, the I Ching, the bagua and the mystical aspects of numbers.
The bagua is integrated into the primordial qigong form: the eight trigrams are represented by the placement of the body in the center facing the cardinal directions and awareness of the intercardinal directions: northeast, southeast, northwest and southwest, as one turns both counter-clockwise and clockwise throughout the form.
I practiced this Qigong faithfully and took some herbal formulas and, over some time, completely recovered from cancer.
"[2] Primordial qigong was brought to the United States by lineage holder Master Zhu Hui, who allegedly healed himself of hepatocirrhosis by practicing this form daily.
Zhu's students included Donald Rubbo, Michael Winn, and Roger Jahnke.
