通则不痛，痛则不通

When there is free flow, there is no pain; when there is pain, there is no free flow
Traditional Chinese Medicine says: “When there is free flow, there is no pain; when there is pain, there is no free flow.” This means when Qi and blood move freely through the body’s meridians, there is no pain. If a certain area feels painful, it indicates that the flow of Qi and blood is obstructed and the meridians are blocked. One of the core functions of Shaolin Qigong is to open the meridians throughout the whole body, harmonize Qi and blood, and remove stagnation and, thus, achieving the state of “When there is free flow, there is no pain.”

Strengthening upright energy and eliminating disease-causing influences to support health maintenance and the treatment of illness.
Whether it is a cold, fatigue, chronic illness, or emotional imbalance, the root cause is often related to a deficiency of zheng qi (upright energy). Shaolin Qigong works by regulating the breath (Qi), the body (movement), and the mind (intent) to restore the balance of Yin and Yang, harmonize Qi and blood, cultivate internal energy, and strengthen the muscles and tendons. This enhances the body’s natural self-healing ability, improves zheng qi (upright energy) and prevents illnesses before they can arise.
