- 1998 May, Li HongZhi, CHINA FALUN GONG (REVISED EDITION) (English Version)‎, Hong Kong: Falun Fo Fa Publishing Co., →ISBN, →OCLC, page 29:
  Some people may suddenly speak a language and speak it quite fluently. However, it is not a language of human society. What can it be called? It can be called "cosmic language" (宇宙語). Actually it is nothing but a language of subtle beings in a space only a little bit higher than ours. Now quite a few of qigong practitioners in China have had such an experience. Some can even speak several such languages.
- 2004, Judith Orloff, Positive Energy, page 112:
  My patients laud qigong as a stressbuster and cure for pesky chronic symptoms that baffle doctors.
