About Wei Qifeng
Teacher Wei Qifeng
“Through pure consciousness practice — Mingjue — we can reach a harmonious and stable mind state, balance the energy of the whole body. Consciousness wakes up to inner peace, freedom, and universal love.”
Teacher Wei co-founded the World Consciousness Community to cultivate a global consciousness field by connecting people heart to heart through Mingjue. Together, practitioners support one another in awakening consciousness and contribute to a more peaceful, harmonious and compassionate world.
His life & vision
In 2006, Wei Qifeng, an already esteemed qigong teacher and healer in China, found himself in a small, rented room near a legendary mountain west of Beijing called Xiangshan, alone in deep suffering. His life’s dream had seemingly ended several years earlier when the Huaxia Center (a.k.a, “Medicineless Qigong Hospital”) was closed down.
He had returned to his family’s countryside home to serve the youth and the disabled, then onto Beijing to practice acupuncture and massage. But without the steady guidance of his teacher, Grandmaster Pang, and his community nearby, Wei felt adrift and empty.
Now in the mountains, he wanted to resolve this dilemma, to find inner peace and freedom. The more he tried, however, the heavier his heart and mind became. Three months passed. So one day, he hiked up a tall peak, laid himself under the big, blue sky, and completely surrendered his practice of Qi Science, which was the very foundation of his life.
Something had shifted
In this state of surrender, Teacher Wei traveled southward to Hainan, where he encountered a woman practicing Zhineng Qigong in the park. They spoke. She learned of his background — that he had gone through the two-year master training program with Grandmaster Pang, served as an editor at the center, advanced to a high level of healing abilities, and also guided some 500-600 hospital staff members in morning and evening practices — and she promptly invited him to lead a practice for her group. To his surprise, the same practices he had cultivated for over a decade felt different now. Something had shifted on the mountain, and the oneness of the universe felt clearer and simpler. “I enjoy this!” he realized. “It’s so playful!”
Sharing Qi Science Worldwide
Born in the northwestern Gansu province to a family of farmers, Teacher Wei was given the name chosen by his older sister: Qifeng. “Feng means ‘pioneer,’” Teacher Wei explained. “Feng was also the name of a character my sister had read about in school. This character was a very good man, always showing unconditional love to others.”
As it turned out, English came easily to Teacher Wei, and he would become a pioneer in bringing Qi Science to the West, with students across Europe, Australia and New Zealand, South America, and America. As for the unconditional love of his namesake, his whole body exudes compassion and joy as he guides others to the depths of the cosmos with a lightness and clarity that is, at once, disarming and commanding.
Mingjue
Since his realization on the mountain in 2006, Teacher Wei has been highlighting the development of the pure consciousness state — or Mingjue — as his foundational teaching, with the qigong movements guided from this expanded mindset to amplify healing and awakening.
This highest level of practice, he says, from a collective field where practitioners connect heart to heart in a state of pure consciousness, has the greatest potential for deep transformation, personal and global.
In 2018, Teacher Wei co-founded the World Consciousness Community to build a worldwide consciousness field — “to connect practitioners heart to heart in the Mingjue state, to support each other and to enhance a higher consciousness for peace, freedom, healing, love, happiness, and harmony for each individual as well as the whole world.” And he has also translated several of Grandmaster Pang’s books into English.
From 1993 to 1995, Teacher Wei completed the two-year Qi Science Teacher Training Program under Grandmaster Dr. Pang Ming at the renowned Huaxia Center – the Medicine-less Hospital in China. Following his graduation, he served at the center as an editor and as a lead teacher.
Teacher Wei discovered he had the gift of healing, too. On his first trip home to his family, he found his mother afflicted with leg and knee pain, so much so that her posture was unnatural and she had to use the wall for support. At the end of the first day of his energy healing practices, she walked without assistance.
“It’s not a miracle,” Teacher Wei says, matter-of-factly. “In Qi Science, we have a different reference framework.”
