Very good post about the origins of qi gong. However, I think that it could stand to be adapted to modern times. It seems to me that a lot of this talk about steam moving through your body through various channels that link your body is really just the beginning of an understanding of blood and the vascular system. By thought alone it is a proven fact that a person can regulate his/her heart beat and body temperature.

I also find it interesting that the center you refer to coincides with the body's own center of mass, a key concept in balance.
