What makes authentic Taiji Qigong Shibashi different from simply learning a sequence of movements?

In this episode of Integral Being, Mark Wiley speaks with Fabrice Piché, a medical qigong practitioner and one of the few Western students to receive private instruction from Professor Lin Housheng, the creator of Taiji Qigong Shibashi.

Their conversation explores the deeper purpose of qigong—not as exercise or choreography, but as a disciplined path of embodied cultivation. Fabrice discusses the principles behind Professor Lin's teaching, the nature of qi, moving meditation, medical qigong, qi emission, Jing-Qi-Shen, and how sustained practice transforms awareness through direct experience.

Together they examine why authentic internal arts are measured not by how many techniques we know, but by how deeply practice changes the practitioner.
