COVID-19 has fundamentally shifted the world and people's approach to living – how do you think coronavirus will change people's overall approach to their health?

The coronavirus pandemic has fundamentally changed the awareness of all humans. Medical treatment doesn't affect the spread of the virus; the only way to prevent COVID-19 from spreading and to eventually control it will be for individuals to make healthy lifestyle choices every day. If people don't do this, then coronavirus will be an ongoing threat.

You're not only a 13th generation Taiyi Master with decades of experience in energy healing, acupuncture, and martial arts; you're also a practitioner who uses innovative methods to heal. How do you see the practice of energy healing evolving in the future?

I believe that future medical science will highlight non-contact diagnosis and treatment – including online treatment – and natural therapy models of treatment. The reason for this shift will be a result of the rise of asymptomatic infections around the world. These infections and diseases may be healed, but leave people with new 'pre-existing' medical conditions that open them to virus recurrence.

同样值得注意的是，慢性病的病例在全球范围内是有史以来最高的--而慢性病患者及其家庭成员是最容易受到病毒传播的。

在自己的保健方面，大多数人都低估了什么？

Exercise – or more accurately, epidemic prevention exercises. When most people think of exercise, they think of a gym or physical exercise of some sort. Few will consider internal exercise, which is exercise that influences the body's organs and promotes a healthy balance and keeping meridians unblocked. Internal exercises are important: they can improve the body's immunity and even eliminate chronic disease.

你认为当今人类健康的最大威胁是什么？

Not being actively conscious of their health. By this, I mean that many people are reactive with their health. They will live a normal life and go to see a doctor once they are sick. It would be better for people to be more proactive with the health by staying alert, paying attention to preventive health measures, and addressing small issues rather than a 'wait and see' approach.

有什么办法可以应对冠状病毒的威胁，让我们在未来得到保护？

The Yellow Emperor's Classic of Medicine, the foundation guide behind all Chinese healing arts for over 2,000 years, says this: 正气内存，邪不干 (When true qi exists, unhealthy influences that cause disease do not interfere).

翻译成西医的角度，简单来说，就是如果你的免疫系统在工作，你就不会被感染。

由于COVID-19的出现，现在很多医护人员更加注重疾病的预防。对此，你怎么看？

In short, better late than never. I believe this should have been a focus for healthcare professionals before. This isn't a concept, it's a simple reality, or 'practicing what you preach'. The key to success with disease prevention is education. Once people have experienced this kind of healing, they understand that it works.

In Chinese, we have a term, 亚健康, which translates roughly to 'sub-healthy'. In the west, a doctor may examine a sub-healthy person and see someone with no health issues. However, sub-healthy people do have imbalances in their body and organs, which must be treated so that the balances are restored, and the person is healthy once again.

There are many terms – energy and qi, for example – that get interpreted and understood differently. This can create debate and even confusion that leaves people doubtful if it works. How would you best describe this for people who aren't familiar with the qi-based Chinese medicine system?

很简单：没有气，地球就不存在。没有气，你就不会活着。你身体里的一切--从它的力量到你的智慧，从你的能量水平到你的呼吸--都与你的气有着错综复杂的联系。你的情绪也是如此，如果你经常体验到负面情绪，比如愤怒或怨恨，那就是气。

There is also true qi, yang qi, yin qi, illness qi… while many may know about just qi, they may not realize that there are subtle variations and abnormalities that can affect our health and happiness. The work of an energy healer or a qi healer is simple; to focus on an individual's qi, identify issues, and work to change that qi back to normal by eliminating imbalances and treating illness qi.

你目前的工作重点是使用能量波进行在线疗愈，以治愈失衡。这对什么样的人最有效，他们如何在日常生活中最大限度地发挥这些能量的疗愈能力？

在线疗愈是这个世界上最安全的疗愈方法，疫情防控很重要。人们要想最大限度地发挥这股能量的疗效，首先要提高自身的免疫力，保持健康的排毒功能，这个基本的步骤将帮助人们在这场流行病中独自生存。

除此之外，通过能量波的疗效来保持自己身体的平衡是至关重要的。在西方，人们往往从科学角度而非医学角度来看待能量波：光波、电磁波、红外波、低频声波、超声波等等等等。

每一种波都在振荡，或振动，产生独特的能量。我们可能无法看到这些波，但它们是传播信息和能量的主要方式。不仅仅是在地球上，在更广阔的宇宙中也是如此!

对于能量疗愈，只需观看视频；将屏幕放在身体前方，无论你身处何地，都能获得最大的益处。另外，建议使用骨导耳机，因为这些耳机按压的是被称为听宫（小肠经）的穴位。  

The Taiyi Institute is also preparing to release a smart acupuncture device soon. This device will help you to heal while living and vice-versa. In the evening, for example, you might use it on your feet for a vibrational energy massage that interacts with blockages on the main meridians on your feet; the healing energy wave would then travel through that meridian line to reach your heart and kidney. Effectively, you're keeping these lines clean and unblocked, allowing your qi to flow smoothly. In turn, your organs are regulated and kept in harmonious balance.

这个设备也可以在任何地方使用。工作累了？用光波视频去除体内多余的水分。做饭的时候可以在肚脐上用这个来调节器官。使用的例子数不胜数，而且都不复杂。

Energy waves are not just natural and environmentally friendly, they are also highly effective and reproducible. By using specific vibrational frequencies, humans can 're-tune' their body, mind, and life energy fields.

If you could change people's perception of energy healing over the next 10 years, what would you want them to understand?

我相信，人们的认识已经发生了重大转变，而且这种认识的变化比任何人都要快。当然，每个人对西方的处方药和手术方法都有自己的看法。不过，越来越多的人在追求健康的过程中，还是转向了自然疗法和疗愈方法。

Much of this change in understanding is arising as a result of experiencing the effects of 'alternative' treatment. For myself, after thirty years of research, I am very confident that natural remedies can be used to eliminate many chronic diseases.

随着越来越多的人探索自然疗法，也会有更多的人明白，西医可能认为无法治愈的疾病，其实是可以疗愈的，但也是可以逆转的。对于无谓受苦的人来说，这种能量疗愈在任何意义上都是一种改变人生的体验。
