✨ About the Body & Mind Method

The Body & Mind Method is a dynamic Zhineng Qigong practice that merges precise, flowing movements with focused internal intention. Unlike more meditative forms, this method invites full-body participation through:

  • Complex Movement Patterns — including stretching, spiraling, holding, and releasing

  • Whole-Body Activation — engaging muscles, tendons, and joints across every system

  • Mental Presence — aligning movement and intention in real time

This is a physically engaging practice—one that strengthens the body while deeply circulating and refining Qi. It is common to feel pleasantly tired after each session, not from strain, but from the depth of internal transformation.

You’ll be engaged and active throughout the full three-hour experience. And within that sustained movement, you’ll discover something profound:

The quiet power of connection.
As the body softens and opens, the mind settles. As intention guides movement, energy flows. In this unity, strength and stillness meet.

We invite you to show up fully—for your body, your mind, and the deep intelligence that connects them.

💠 About the 3 Sessions

Each session in this series is designed as a complete experience. There are no prerequisites—you can attend any session individually and receive the full benefit of the movements taught that day.

Rather than progressing through the Body & Mind Method in a linear fashion from Sections 1 to 10, each session features a carefully selected pairing of upper-body and lower-body movements. This allows for an energetically balanced practice that supports both Qi expansion and rooted stability. These pairings reflect the deeper intention of the method: to unify internal systems through the quiet power of connection.

🔹 Recordings will be available to all participants for 30 days after each session.

A video of Reyna demonstrating the entire Body & Mind Method from beginning to end will be permanently available in the Advanced section of the Video Library, exclusively for Qi Team members.

A Checklist to determine
if this workshop is for you

  • I welcome a practice that engages both the physical and energetic aspects of myself.
  • I am open to exploring how Qi (energy) flows within my body and how my mind can guide this energy.
  • I am interested in deepening the connection between my mind and body through meditation and movement.
  • My goals align with improving not only my physical health but also my mental and emotional well-being.
  • I enjoy a practice that requires mindfulness and mental focus during physical movement.
  • I am ready to embrace a practice that may bring up new insights as my awareness deepens.

Dr. Pang Ming’s work emphasizes the transformation and harmonization of body and mind at deeper levels with these practices, enhancing health, consciousness, and vitality. “Through continuous practice … , the body’s channels are opened, allowing for the free flow of Qi. This leads to a healthier, stronger body and a more focused, peaceful mind.”

The Quiet Power of connection

The Body & Mind Method is centered on advancing the integration of mind and body, focusing on refining the practitioner’s ability to guide and harmonize Qi (energy) for deeper physical and mental transformation.

It goes beyond foundational practices by:

  • working on enhancing the internal flow of Qi and
  • cultivating a heightened awareness of the body’s energy system.

The emphasis is on strengthening the connection between consciousness and movement, allowing practitioners to unlock greater levels of flexibility, strength, and vitality while also deepening mental clarity and emotional balance.

This level encourages more profound self-awareness and healing through the conscious direction of Qi.

Frequently Asked Questions

Absolutely! This program is for all experience levels and is especially suitable for people who want to learn Qigong. We will explain each practice in detail in this workshop. Questions are welcomed. You can also schedule a FREE 30-minute private session with Reyna to discuss how this program can serve you.

Yes, and you aren’t alone! This is often considered a problem by people just starting out, but even though you cannot feel the Qi, it is moving and working. You can tell by how you feel emotionally. As your Qi becomes more activated, more balanced, you will experience feelings of joy, contentment, emotional stability, and relief.

No. People of all ability levels can participate. You must have access to a computer on the Internet and be able to login to the event.

Definitely yes! The focus of every aspect of this practice is inward — into the depths of who you really are. This is even true for elements that have a physical component. Individuals with a chronic illness, spinal injury, or other conditions which limit them from standing can visualize the practice while exploring the depths of the process within. We recommend that you advise the instructors of any limitations you have so that they can provide you with helpful guidance (anonymously, of course) during the sessions. Sometimes the lack of physical distraction provides a more profound experience.

Yes. There will be a 10-minute break halfway through the workshop. For in-person participants, seasonal fruits and nuts with tea or water will be provided. You can also bring your own snack. A refrigerator is available if necessary.

Yes. Recordings will be provided for attendees. You should receive the recordings within 48 hours.

Reyna offers a FREE 30-minute one-on-one session to new students to help them decide the most suitable plan for them. Learn more about this free session and talk to Reyna directly.

Meet REyna

Reyna has studied Zhineng Qigong since 2009. She lovingly shares the wisdom of the practice with her students, readily supporting their intimate exploration of personal health and healing. Reyna firmly believes we each have a vast amount of energy readily available to us at any moment through any circumstance which is the catalyst for healing.
Born in Tijuana, Mexico, Reyna and her parents immigrated to the United States when she was three months old. Growing up, her parents instilled in her a strong work ethic, discipline, and a deep and lasting appreciation of her Mexican heritage. However, as she entered her youth, she felt a subtle but persistent emptiness. Deep within her there was a discontent that interfered with her innate joy and happiness, and something told her there was more. When she discovered Qigong, everything fell into place. This practice opened her both energetically and physically to new dimensions of herself! Nothing had the power to liberate and heal like this wisdom tradition of Chinese Medicine.

Reyna has now shared Zhineng Qigong in the US and Europe. She knows that her Spanish-speaking brothers and sisters could also benefit greatly from this work, and she plans to expand her offerings to include additional classes and programs taught in Spanish.
