Introduction:
A.C.H.E Research stands for ‘Ancient Chinese Human Energy research’ However, in today’s more health-related terms may also stand for ‘Alternative and Complementary Medicine & Healthcare Education’ research.
In the ever-evolving landscape of Medicine and healthcare, the integration of traditional Chinese Medical practices TCM with modern science is an avenue of immense potential.
Professor Dr. Y.K. Leung PhD is a distinguished figure in this field of unusual ‘self-healing’ methodology in ancient Internal Daoist Medicine study of Human Mind & Body. He has embarked on a life-time groundbreaking journey of researches, focusing on the profound impacts of XingQiShu (QiGong moving of energies) & DaoYinShu (NeiGong manipulating the musculoskeletal system to induce the self-healing abilities of the Endocrine system) of ancient Daoist medical practices.
His ACHE research team serves as a catalyst for bridging the gap between traditional wisdom and contemporary medical science. As medical professionals, we recognise the significance of this integration in providing comprehensive, effective and affordable medical healthcare solutions that encompass both ancient and modern perspectives. It is crucial to explore and understand the implications of Professor Dr. YK Leung PhD. works, shedding light on how those +5000 years old Chinese Methodology GongFa or exercises can contribute to ‘self-healing’ practices of holistic medical values and well-being.
Internal Daoist Medicine – Learning & Training methodologies –
XingQiShu (QiGong) has been recorded in the 5000+ years old Chinese Encryptions of ‘Bone Oracles’ and Bamboo scriptures as a natural phenomena of ‘self-healing’ medical therapy. XingQiShu often translated as “moving of energies or QiGong”, focuses on resonating those body’s internal Qi (Microcosmic energies) with those ‘Heaven & Earth’ energies of our natural inhabitable environment. Professor Leung’s researches emphasise the role of XingQiShu in optimising physiological functions through purposeful 3 levels of synchronised breathing skills. As medical professionals, we are particularly intrigued by the potential applications of XingQiShu in managing hormonal ‘imbalances’, which are the direct sources of Psychological & Physiological medical conditions like Drug addictions, Insomnia, circadian rhythms, metabolic dysregulation, Asthma and Eczema etc. In addition, those 3 levels of very ancient breathing skills can also be rated in aligning those ‘Biological Rhythms’ for Holistic Health of human Mind & Body.
DaoYinShu (NeiGong) was the 5000+ years old ancestral wisdom and therapeutic methodologies of the 3 dimensional ‘Internal Musculoskeletal movements’. With its roots deeply embedded in Internal Traditional Chinese Medicine TCM, the JingLi mechanical actions of the physical exercises, not only arouse the ‘Low frequency Infra-Red heat Internal energy NeiQi’, but also trigger the ‘electrical Neurological energies Qi’ to open up the Endocrine system (3 DanTian), releasing those ‘Internal natural body medicines NeiDan or Hormones’, to balance the 14 major Organs’ Qi energy. It is only when Life forces or vitalities of those vital organs are ‘harmonised’, that human psychological & physiological health statuses can then be maintained. Furthermore, those DaoYinShu mechanical movements also comprise of gentle and fast breath controls. Professor Leung’s research explores the physiological and psychological benefits of DaoYinShu, shedding light on its potential therapeutic applications. From a medical standpoint, understanding how the deliberate movements and controlled breathing impact the body’s systems is essential for recognising DaoYinShu as a complementary approach to conventional, non-invasive medical interventions.
A Medical Perspective – Integrative medical healthcare applications
The “Three Laws of Two Opposites YinYang Principles” (Universal Harmonising rhythms) both govern and reveal the Psychological & Physiological Mechanisms of Human Mind & Body.
One of the compelling aspects of Professor Dr. Leung PhD’s ACHE Research is the exploration of the physiological mechanisms underlying the benefits of XingQiShu(QiGong) and DaoYinShu (NeiGong) practices. From a medical standpoint, understanding how these practices influence those major Musculoskeletal system, Fascia system, Peripheral & Central nervous system, Endocrine system and those Neuron Pathways, Mesolimbic Reward Pathways (neuroendocrine pathways), Immune Function and Cardiovascular Health are very pivotal. “Professor Leung’s findings and his valuable insights into the Mechanical methodology (Jing), Neurological energy (Qi) & Biological energies (Shen)” processes make the Chinese traditional QiFa & GongFa exercises, not just culturally rich, but scientifically relevant for enhancing and improving overall psychological & physiological health issues.
“A Paradigm Shift” – Implications for Patient-Centred Care and Wellness Programs:
In the era of patient-centred care, the integration of Internal Daoist Medicine methodologies of XingQiShu and DaoYinShu into the mainstream healthcare practices signifies a ‘paradigm shift’ in how we approach patient care. The understanding and incorporating practices that resonate with how individuals on physical, mental rehabilitation protocols, stress management interventions, and lifestyle modification programs aligns with a holistic approach to healthcare are paramount. As medical professionals, acknowledging the potential of all these practices to complement conventional treatments is crucial.
The work of Professor Dr. YK Leung PhD provides a foundation for incorporating these ancient Chinese exercises into rehabilitation programs for chronic disease management and preventive healthcare strategies. The holistic nature of XingQiShu and DaoYinShu aligns with the principles of patients’ treatment plans and care, emphasising overall quality of life beyond the treatment of specific symptoms.
Conclusion:
In conclusion, Professor Dr. Y.K. Leung PhD and his ACHE research team have used modern medical scientific approaches to ‘decode’ the 5000+ years old XingQiShu (QiGong) & DaoYinShu (NeiGong) practices. The deep level of University research work into these ancient Chinese methodologies open up new horizons for medical professionals who are seeking to provide comprehensive and integrative healthcare. As we navigate the dynamic landscape of medicine, embracing the wisdom of ancient practices alongside modern science is not just an option but a necessity. Professor Leung’s pioneering work encourages us to explore, adapt, and integrate these valuable insights into our medical practices, fostering a holistic approach to patient care that addresses the intricate interplay between physical and mental well-being.
