Out-of-body travel
Another goal of Qigong

Qigong usually takes place on the physical and mental level, while the realm of the soul is less of a focus. Xu Mingtang, a Qigong teacher and healer active throughout the world, places special emphasis on the developmental opportunities present on a soul level. Having had apparitions of deceased persons even as a young child, through deep meditation he found a way to consciously leave the body and travel in non-corporeal form. This ability has brought him a wealth of extraordinary experiences and insights. The Zhongyuan Qigong method he teaches is designed to make these same experiences accessible to others by deepening the sense perception, leading the way to perfect tranquility, and opening up the special meridians Zhongmai and Hunmai to allow out-of-body travel while retaining full consciousness.
