timmytran77 Posted December 1, 2016 Hello my fellow brothers and sisters, My name is Tim, and I am very excited to be apart of this wonderful community. I am from San Francisco, CA and I am practicing qigong under the Heavenly Essence Qigong System or also known as Zhang Gong as developed by Grandmaster Zhang Hong Bao. I am in search of other practitioners like myself and hope to build a community in which we could grow, develop our practice together, share our insights, and perhaps meet and collaborate with various ventures may it be in business, in workshops, or in practice! I am also curious if any others our there are practicing under the same lineage as myself? I wonder if anybody know my Grandmaster personally or could point me into a direction in which I could learn more as to what kind of person he was? There seems to be some texts, like Qigong Fever by David A. Palmer, but everything else seems to be biased or in Chinese... Looking forward to hearing from you! Much love and blessing, Tim 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

May you enjoy your time here. Marblehead Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Rakiel Posted December 1, 2016 I have not been able to find much info about Zhong Hongbao or the system, in general. It seems really interesting, and I believe that Chunyi Lin, the founder of Spring Forest Qigong, which I practice, was a student of his. I have only been able to find scarce footage of the qigong style, but it looks like the ending procedures are very similar. 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
