Educated in the universities of both China and America, I am currently a faculty at University of Maryland School of Medicine. As a NIH-funded investigator, my job has been conducting survey research on adolescent substance abuse, and clinical studies on feasibility and efficacy of adding energy therapy for treating osteoarthritis and addiction. I have long been interested in the scientific study of qigong and its medical applications, and been amazed by the power of human self healing and mind... Of Chinese origin and as a long-time practitioner of qigong, I have observed many unexplained successes in qigong healing, and am willing to subject this ancient therapy to serious scientific examination. As a certified instructor of medical qigong and a Ph.D. in research psychology, I dedicate my knowledge of qigong and active research to the understanding of human life as a whole (body, mind and spirit) and Chinese life-nurturing culture. My research includes both verification of qi energy through laboratory detectors, and medical application of qigong therapy in clinical settings. I am currently working on the application of bio-energy therapy and self-help methods in the treatment of addiction, arthritis, cancer, chronic pain and other health conditions.I would like to become a practitioner and spreader of Chinese life-nurturing culture, and to demystify the codes of human mind and spirituality in healing and hidden dimensions of life.....Specialties: research psychology, statistics, mind-body medicine, treatment for addiction, multi-dimensionality in life, meditation and spirituality.
