In the small country of Slovenia, one man changed everything with Zhineng Qigong...

In Zhineng Qigong, nature forms part of a holistic system alongside humans and the
universe. While we are largely separated from it in our daily lives, in nature we find external
Qi, and this is most beneficial when we exchange it with our own Qi. Understanding this,
our guest, Andraz Purger, sparked the initiative “Breathing with Nature." By using his tools
as a Hunyuan Qi Therapist and Zhineng Qigong Teacher, he relates powerful Qigong
theories like adjusting the mind, the qi field, and exchanging Qi with nature. He simply
shared his knowledge, and somehow it transformed into a movement that impacted the
entire country. In this episode of Wisdom Qigong Uncovered, our charismatic host, Torsten
Lueddecke, explores the unique story of Andraz Purger, the man who changed Slovenia.
