What is unique about Taoist Light Qigong Training, and what makes it special?

1. An authentic and powerful Taoist practice from Lou Guan Tai Temple in Xi’an, China, the birthplace of Taoism where its founder, Lao Tzu (571-471 BCE) composed Tao Te Ching, a guidance of the way of life.

2. Personal Teachings (not from videos) on Taoist esoteric cultivation practice, a particular formless and free-flow style which cannot be obtained from anywhere else. The power and effectiveness come from this 2600 year lineage and via direct Transmission of the Qi from the lineage holder.

3. Level I - A six-hour long training immediately places you at an advanced cultivation level. We welcome people who have no previous Qigong training experience, and those who have followed mind-body trainings that are not in energetic conflict with the Taoist Light system.

4. Taoist Light Qigong training is not like Tai Chi Chuan or other Qigong styles, which mostly consist of multiple exercise classes, with a teacher demonstrating the movements and students following them. Our very first class connects you with Tao (the source of energy in the Universe) and can be practiced and benefited for the rest of your life.

5. Taoist Light Wellness, located in Santa Barbara, USA is the only existing official, authorized and legitimate Taoist Light Qigong teaching and healing center.

6. In this training, you receive the “password” to connect to Tao and allow the Qi to flow and to move your body, so your movements are customized to awaken your potential and are suitable to your body nature. These movements are going to change over time, even day by day, thus you will keep making progress until Heaven and Human have become one (Tian Ren He Yi). The highest state of Taoist cultivation.

7. Taoist Light Qigong training has a detailed instructional book with pictures that you can purchase ($25/copy) when you attend training at Taoist Light Wellness.

8. Participants cannot teach or show others how to practice Taoist Light Qigong right after receiving the teaching, yet can become a healer or teacher after being trained later. The powerful force is not as simple as it appears. Just like electricity work, if an inexperienced person mishandles this work, it can result in harm for self and others.

9. The training master, Chiyan Wang is the Taoist Light Qigong lineage holder with 40 years of healing and teaching experience, she comes from a family tradition of Taoist Light Qigong masters.

This practice supports the release of the past and encourages moving forward with greater clarity.

Tao Te Ching - 38*

A master does not try to be good,

so he truly is good;

An ordinary man tries to be good,

so he fails to be good.

A master does not overdo (Wu wei),

nothing is left undone;

An ordinary man tries to overdo,

so much more needs to be done.

Translated by Chiyan Wang

Edited by N&R W.

The natural way is the best way!

Trying to be good comes from the human-mind;
simply being good flows from true nature—our very essence.

Tao Te Ching - 37

The Tao always accomplishes without overdoing.

If a ruler can hold to the Tao,

All things will transform by themselves.

When desire grows,

Use sincerity and simplicity to overcome it.

With no desire, there will be stillness,

Then the world will be naturally at peace.

Translated by Chiyan wang

Edited by Noah Wang

This chapter emphasizes the power of non-doing, showing that the Tao acts effortlessly yet achieves everything. When one aligns with it and avoids desiring for certain outcomes, peace arises naturally. Desire disrupts this natural flow, but returning to simplicity and stillness overcomes desire and restores peace.

Tao Te Ching - 36

Lao Tzu's timeless wisdom on force and weapons: A ruler is supported by the people, just as a fish is supported by deep water. Without water, a fish cannot survive. In the same way, it is not in alignment with the Tao to display or threaten people with sharp weapons—it only leads to greater imbalance and disturbance.

36 – Tao Te Ching*


If you want to close something,

You would first open it; 

If you want to weaken something,

you would first strengthen it;
If you want to discard something,
you would first lift it;
If you want to take something,
you would first give it;
This is called the subtle perception:
The gentle and soft overcomes the tough and strong,
Fish can not live without deep water,
Nation's sharp weapons cannot be shown to its people.

Translated by Chiyan Wang and Noah Wang




This chapter teaches the principle of indirect action and hidden strength. To bring something down, you may first need to raise it up; to take, you must first give. True influence often works in subtle, paradoxical ways.
It emphasizes that softness and flexibility can overcome force and hardness, and warns that powerful tools and strategies should be kept hidden, just as fish belong in deep waters, not on display.
The wise leader acts with subtlety and restraint, understanding that real power often lies in concealment and patience.

Tao Te Ching - 33

We are reminded of a timeless truth: while it may seem simple to understand others, truly knowing oneself is far more challenging. Likewise, controlling others can appear straightforward, but mastering oneself demands deeper effort. Yet, this is the path to cultivating true wisdom and inner strength.

Tao Te Ching, Chapter 33, guides us on this journey to begin with the art of mastering our own minds – the foundation of genuine self-awareness and lasting inner power.

Tao Te Ching – 33*

To know others is intelligence,

To know oneself is true wisdom.

To master others is strength,

To master oneself is true power.

To be content is true wealth,

To be determined is true will.

To remain steadfast is endurance,

To die yet not be forgotten is true immortality.

Translated by Chiyan Wang; Edited by N&R Wang

Chapter 33 of the Tao Te Ching emphasizes the importance of self-awareness, inner strength, and contentment. It contrasts the power gained from controlling others with the deeper, more enduring power of mastering oneself. The passage suggests that true wealth comes from contentment, true endurance from steadfastness, and true immortality from leaving a lasting, meaningful legacy.
