Five Hun Yuan

Five Hun Yuan Form Videos and Sources

The Zhineng Five Hun Yuan form is the advanced Level 3 of Zhineng Qigong.

Level 1 includes Lift Chi Up Pour Chi Down.

Level 2 is the Body Mind form.

Level 3 Five Hun Yuan form practice is recommended to be undertaken after some years of dedicated practice of Levels 1 and 2. While the physical movements might be learned without in-depth practice of Levels 1 and 2, the deeper, inner meditative and energy benefits require practice of Levels 1 and 2.

Movement, mudras and healing sounds

Level 3 Hun Yuan Form includes physical movements accompanied by the use of mudras and healing sounds, all of which require dedicated practice.

Thirteen sections in three major parts

Five Hun Yuan has thirteen sections, divided into three major parts.

Part I

Head in the sky, feet in the earth.
Open pores, points and three Gates
Crane looks around, shen inward
Open wings to fly

Part II

Smile joyfully to strengthen the heart
Arch lower back to strengthen kidneys, willpower
Rotate in Hun Yuan Palace; Merge Four Organs Chi
Spread arms to cover Riyue; turn eyes to strengthen the livers’ shen
Extend and contract to open lungs’ chi: sorrowful and compassionate heart nourishes the corporeal soul

Part III

Crane walks to exercise gracefully
Move freely up and down, mind illuminates from top of head
Heaven and Earth Qi return to Hun Yuan

Videos of Five Hun Yuan

I am making this list available because it is not so easy to find any videos at all of Five Hun Yuan. The first set is by Levensenergie YouTube. The video and audio is clear and easy to follow.

Dr. Pang teaching:

Dr. Pang videos are the most fascinating because they show Dr. Pang himself teaching the form in China. There is no audio, but his expressions and modeling with students is clear and beautiful. Highly recommended after watching an English version of each section (such as the Lebensenergie Youtubes) and reading the text in Dr. Pang’s Methods book.
