Xiao Yao used to say that we are all like beggars begging for scraps with a golden begging bowl—meaning that each of us can access a priceless treasure that lies within reach of our fingertips. We simply don’t realize it. The treasure my master was referring to is happiness.

Qigong improves our performance in any domain of human activity as much as an operating system upgrade improves the performance of any program installed on a computer.

Once you master the technique, you will be able to boost the energy levels of your Three Dantians dramatically and liberate at will the Wisdom Qi, Love Qi, and Vitality Qi energies that they each hold in reserve. Ramping up your energy levels stacks the odds in favor of any day becoming a good day. And that is a worthwhile goal!

The goal of this entire process is to initiate your transformation into becoming a Qigong master—a genuinely happy individual. We all possess that potential within us.

However, there is one important prerequisite to practicing Qigong: being able to smile and enjoy yourself. Having fun doing the exercises is the key to progress. And adopting an easygoing style is the secret to spiritual success. Incidentally, ‘easygoing’ is the meaning of my master’s name, Xiao Yao, so when practicing Qigong, be xiao yao.

There is a Qigong saying: where the mind goes, Qi follows.

As soon as you embrace a meaningful task assigned to you by the treasure of Heaven, you are offered the resources to make it happen by the treasure of Earth, and the capacities to manage the process by the Three Dantians—your Human treasure.

Wisdom, love and vitality—these are the three spiritual qualities that you tap into whenever you access the three reservoirs of energy inside your body.
