Qigong is a traditional Chinese practice of coordinated body posture and movement, breathing, and meditation used for health, spirituality, and martial arts training. It is based on the concept of qi, or vital energy, which is believed to flow through the body.1

In the context of psychic research, qigong gained prominence in China during the "Extraordinary Powers Craze" of the late 1970s and early 1980s. It was believed that the practice of qigong could enhance or unlock Extraordinary Human Body Function (EHBF), including ESP and Psychokinesis. The Chinese government, under the influence of Qian Xuesen, officially sanctioned research into qigong and its potential applications.1
