Master Mingtong Gu is a Qigong Master, founder of the Embodied Awakening Movement and Chi Center, and a beloved teacher at retreat centers worldwide including Kripalu, Esalen, Omega, and Spirit Rock.

Trained at the renowned "medicineless hospital" in China—where thousands healed chronic and life-threatening conditions through pure energy cultivation—Mingtong bridges 5,000 years of Qigong wisdom with modern understanding of trauma, nervous system regulation, and somatic healing.

For over 25 years, he has guided tens of thousands to transform stress into sustainable resilience, disconnection into embodied wholeness, and suffering into awakening. His teaching carries the calm presence, joyful wisdom, and grounded clarity of one who has walked the path fully.

Influenced by Buddhist, Taoist, and Shamanic traditions, he leads a global movement called Coming Home to Embodied Awakening—reclaiming our full humanity in the age of AI and digital overwhelm.
