What is CFQ?
CFQ Is a System of Holistic Healing
The initials CFQ stand for Chaoyi Fanhuan Qigong which translates to Cosmic Freedom Qigong. CFQ is a complete system of holistic healing. Although the roots of qigong and meditation run thousands of years back in Chinese history, CFQ is a particular form of qigong that was developed by Master Yap Soon Yeong of Penang, Malaysia.Master Yap has a world-wide following. To this date at least 10,000 people have received CFQ training. Large communities of CFQers exist in Canada, the USA, Spain, Great Britain, Ireland, Greece, Australia and, of course, southeast Asia. The number of certified CFQ instructors is over 200 and growing rapidly.
In his healing practice Master Yap has treated tens of thousands of persons suffering from diseases of all sorts. As other CFQ healers enter the field and continue to develop their skills we can expect that the benefits of this marvellous form of healing will become more widely known.
The term qigong consists of two parts. Qi refers to bioenergy or the life force that flows through and around the body. Gong signifies the cultivation or training that develops a healthy flow of qi through the body. To generate a healthy flow of qi is to release blockages in the body's energetic system and to remove sources of disease and discomfort.
CFQ is organized into Levels. Building on the cultivation of healthy qi flow that comes with Level One: Movements, CFQ Meditation (Level Two) and healing practices (Level Three) round out the CFQ approach to holistic healing. Other levels take us deeper into meditation and the life of the spirit.

CFQ Differs from Other Forms of Qigong
CFQ does not consider qigong to be a means of acquiring, generating, absorbing, storing, or broadcasting energy, strength or power. This is a crucial point that needs to be understood well.
Qi ought not to be conceptualized in terms of quantity. The objective in qigong and Traditional Chinese Medicine is to enhance the flow of bioenergy, not increase its measurable volume. Imagining that one's health depends on acquiring a greater amount of qi is wishful speculation and can produce fear — the fear of losing qi. Emphasizing mental intention (li) tends to generate new karmic formations which can produce energy blockages. Attempting to focus qi can lead to deleterious results — for practitioner and recipient.
In CFQ We Do Not Do the Following
- Attempt to generate or store qi
- Direct the flow of qi internally ("orbits")
- Direct focused qi in external healing ("beaming")
- Practice visualization
- Hold static body postures
- Practice focused breathing
- Concentrate on particular parts of the body
In CFQ We Stress the Following
- The de-emphasizing of intention (li)
- Qi flow — as opposed to a build up of qi
- The body's innate ability to heal itself and return to a state of natural health
- The absence of strength
- Non-doing, relaxation, letting go, release (wu wei)
- Emptiness and detachment
