Mingjue for Beginners

Begin Your Mingjue Journey

Mingjue practice is a path of cultivating consciousness and transforming life from within.

Mingjue practice is a path of awakening consciousness. Through the integration of Mingjue and the methods of Qi Science, the Mingjue state gradually becomes clearer and more stable, naturally supporting health, emotional balance, inner peace and harmony in everyday life.

What is Mingjue?

Ming (明) means “clear” or “pure”, jue (觉) means “awareness” or “observer”. Together, Mingjue describes a state of self-aware consciousness.

In everyday life, most of us are unaware of the presence of the inner observer, although it is always present. Normally, the observer is aware of our thoughts, emotions and bodily sensations, but not of itself.

When the inner observer recognizes itself and remains in this awakened state, this is called Mingjue. It is a naturally peaceful state of clear awareness that exists beyond thoughts, emotions and sensations.

Why Mingjue practice?

Mingjue practice helps us recognize, deepen and sustain the Mingjue state. As this awakened state becomes a natural part of everyday life, it brings positive transformation to every aspect of our lives. Practiced together with the methods of Qi Science, Mingjue supports greater harmony between consciousness, body and qi, naturally benefiting both health and daily life.

How to practice Mingjue as a beginner

Beginning your Mingjue practice is simpler than you might think. The most important element is consistency. Even a few minutes of daily practice can gradually deepen and stabilize the Mingjue state. As you begin to integrate Mingjue and the methods of Qi Science into everyday life, their benefits naturally unfold in your health, relationships and daily experiences.

The key is to gently maintain the Mingjue state throughout daily life. With regular practice, this becomes increasingly natural and effortless.

Here are some simple steps on how you can experience Mingjue

Meditation: Your inner observer realizes itself

Practice in a quiet place. It’s best to always practice in the same place to build a habit.
Wear comfortable clothes and choose a comfortable posture.
If you initially want to practice Mingjue without qigong exercises, then close your eyes, relax your mind and body. Breath naturally. Go inward. Try to let go of any distracting thoughts. Relax more. Become aware of the present moment – become conscious of the present moment without putting attention to any body sensations, feelings and thoughts.
Now as you have become aware of the present moment, ask yourself the question: Who is becoming aware of the present moment? Who is observing the present moment? Then you will realize “I am the observer. My observer realizes itself.” – This is Mingjue.
To maintain the Mingjue state, start saying the letter “n”. The n-sound has no meaning. Do not focus on the feeling or the vibration when saying “n”. Simply observe “n” and observe and experience Mingjue saying “n”. This technique makes Mingjue clearer, stabler, simpler.
You can continue to remain in your Mingjue state and say “n” silently for about 10 minutes (or longer). You will experience your Mingjue becoming clearer and more stable.
When you are ready, gently open your eyes.

If you don’t experience the Mingjue state immediately, don’t worry. Just try another time in a calm, relaxed, peaceful and open state.

Practicing the methods of Qi Science in the Mingjue state is the essence of Third Level of Entirety Practice. As consciousness becomes the master of every method, the potential for health, healing, transformation and harmonious development unfolds more fully.

What our Mingjue practitioners say

"Thank you so much. I can hardly say how miraculously my life is changing, even if slowly, just changing my reference framework and doing qigong daily (I do levels one and 2 and standing mingjue) is really changing me. Thank you infinitely!!!!"

"Since we began the Mingjue Gongfu classes, I have been grateful and humbled by the experiences that each module has provided. My personal life challenges, especially childhood traumas that many would have had difficulty surviving, came to me urgently in practice since Module 6. It was as though my body, mind, and spirit were finally in a truly safe place and ready to heal these wounds. Every day I practiced standing, sitting, and lying down N meditation, as this has been incredibly effective. I am always in wonder at how well this works."

"First of all thank you from the bottom of my heart, for teaching me to find myself and to come Home… never a practice had given me so much. Clarity in concepts, clarity in what happens in me, when reference frameworks arrives; the relationship with external life from me, and how to return to my power."

"One of the most precious presents I’ve gotten from the course is the N practice. Such a simple practice, yet so deep. I can feel its affect on my mingjue — stabilizing, purifying. I use it in my regular practice but also in daily life, especially in ‘stormy weather.’ It helps me to be more aware of my inner thieves and catch them in advance, not losing myself to the drama. The N practice helps me awaken my mingjue compassionate love toward my experience as it is. It’s a deep process that needs patience and practice, practice, practice but it goes very deep down to the roots. I can feel it."
