Mingtang Xu

Biography

Born in 1963 into a well-known family of doctors and martial artists in the Henan province, Mingtang followed in the tradition of his ancestors. He learned Chinese medicine, shamanic practices, and martial arts before starting work at the hospital where his father served as director. Together with him, Mingtang saw his first patient at the age of seven, and his father began testing his scanning abilities against western diagnostic practices. Mingtang was able to scan and diagnose so accurately that he began seeing patients independently at age fourteen.

Two years later, he left home to study the new discipline of computer science at the prestigious Xian Jiaoda University. During this time he had continued to scan and treat patients, and upon graduation he returned to Henan province and began to train intensively at places known for their healing power: the Longmen Grottos, the White Horse Temple, the Cloud and Mist Mountains, and the Shaolin Monastery. At Shaolin, he followed the footsteps of his ancestor Prince Kimnara, Guardian of Principles of the monastery centuries before. The monastery hall stands in dedication to his forefather, and in the tradition of his family, Mingtang upholds its principles to this day.

Mingtang's father and his teacher urged him to pursue a Master's Degree in Computer Engineering as the modern scientific age unfolded in China. Mingtang attended Beijing University, where he graduated at the top of his class. He then became the Chief Engineer and Project Director at the Software Laboratory of the National Academy of Science of China. All the same, he continued to practice Zhong Yuan Qigong, and in 1988 he founded the Chinese Zhong Yuan Association. One year later he became associate professor of the Chinese Research Institute of Human Latent Potentials.

In 1991, Mingtang decided to focus solely on ZY Qigong. He left his job in China to begin teaching in Russia. Within a few years, he was giving seminars on ZY Qigong all over the former Soviet Union and Eastern Europe. His patient roster grew exponentially and now includes cultural, business, sports and government elite. Over the course of the next ten years, Mingtang founded the Kiev Chinese Traditional Medicine Clinic and the Oriental Culture and Medicine Academy at the Ukraine National Academy of Science, which includes degree programs for medical students and health professionals. Mingtang is also affiliated with the Laboratory for Human Brain Research and Moscow University. He first published his two-book series Entering One's Own Universe—ZY Qigong in Russian. It has since been translated into Hebrew; German and Czech translations are forthcoming.

In China, Mingtang was awarded a professorship at the Chinese and Western Medical Joint Hospital of the Beijing Chinese Medicine University. His is also a board member and Advanced Specialist Consultant of the World Academic Society of Medical Qigong at the Beijing University of Traditional Chinese Medicine.

Today, in addition to teaching seminars and treating patients throughout the world, Mingtang spends most of his time at the Kundawell Institute in Beijing, China, treating patients and researching the most successful method for healing diseases.

Mingtang's vision is to create a treatment center in North America to house clients for extended stays involving hands-on healing, herbal supplements and individualized nutrition programs. The center also would be a place to teach healing courses and provide internships for ZY Qigong healers.
