I notice when I am impatient, it feels like I am being blocked, but in a particular direction. If breathing and sighing do not dissipate then perhaps keep the energy flowing, but in another direction that is open and affirming. I had 4 kids so impatientience was a normal day. Has something got the kitty by the toe? Nice Cookies! Thanks

good morning dew, Maybe you are already doing this... I have a suggestion, the way I teach and practice warm-ups in my qigong classes is to first settle the mind in the breath and the breath in the mind. and preferably the breath is deep and full into the body. From this place of grounded centering let your breath animate the movement. Instead of seeking something in the movement, keep relaxing into the breath in the movement. Relax into the harmony and rhythm of your movement by being fully present without a goal in mind.

You know what they say, "What is the reward of patience?" "More patience." When spirit and breathing stay together, keeping their clarity and naturalness is called “not forgetting”. Going along with their clarity is called “not forcing.” Not forgetting, not forcing, quietly, gently, the breath is vigorous and the mind is free..

Hello, my name is Leah and I am a Qigong and Nei gong instructor from the Shaolin Kung Fu and Mei Hua Qigong Lineage. Greetings! You have a very informative and well rounded forum here and I am just getting acquainted with the process. Thank you.

hi LimA, do you think it is accidental that you have no occidental. I believe if you did you would be too irresistible. Sweet as yinny syrup. You and marble head make me laugh so heartily. Are you two old friends? I have been busy today trying to figure out a forum on my website for my students and remote students to ask questions. Truth is i wish I didn't have to be so technologically wrapped up in business, but a QiBody has gotta make a living. I do love teaching. It feels like playing! May I ask what you fill your day with sweet man?

Hi Awakener, apologies for the link to my You Tube channel. I fixed it above or here it is again below. As above so below ;-)

Awakener I would like to offer you an example of how I teach and what I practice. Then you can feel if you resonate with the energy. My core teaching is not on You Tube because as Grand Master Tsai always said, " you can give away the milk, but don't sell the cow." Here is my You Tube Channel and have a look around. Especially check out the Nei gong pieces. It is all beginner stuff, but it is the foundations for a solid practice. https://youtu.be/Q0WTy_HG5EY

Hmmm, interesting question and I would like to hear it expanded some if you would. I am a teacher, so my questions are specific and I would like to best serve you. Are you already practicing a cultivation program or techniques? Are you looking to start one? Do you want to tune your body as an instrument or are you looking to just channel? I currently practice a program of internal Qi cultivation that has raised the level at which I practice healing work out of this world and the more I practice the more awakenings. And I am rooted in this Earth.

Marblehead, you are funny! I have head many years (29) of hands on healing, so I will only share from my own experience. I took a training in a church for aura healing and chakra healing when I was a youngun. That was my first experience of feeling energy. from there the list goes something like this: 26 years massage therapy, 8 years cranio-sacral therapy, and 7 years til now gigong/neigong therapy. During the massage years two close friends of mine became Reiki Masters (it cost them tens of thousands of dollars) While they appreciated and believed in the healing, their were disenchanted with the political and financial hierarchy within the system. As a rebellion they taught me all the levels and gave me all the attunments for free because they thought I would put it to good use. My understanding and feeling experience was that the Reiki energy pre-existed in the ether and the founder tapped into it. Then he showed others how to tap into it and so on. The Reiki energy to me feels very gentle and violet in color, but was never an energy I felt like dedicating my practice to. there are many healing energies we can tap into and channel for personal or other healing. As a Nei gong practitioner (cultivator) I often use the universal elements, but when I feel the need to bring out the big guns, I channel the Christ or Holy Spirit. Just as Awakener says the Reiki energy does not need to be guided, the same is true for Holy Spirit. We need only intend or invoke the energy and then allow it. Having said that earful, I am skeptical of the Reiki hand attunements being neccessary. I feel it is more of a familiarity with an energy source that we can learn from a teacher. I learned to do my qigong therapy by watching my teacher and feeling the energy shifts as he demonstrated. I love the feel of the Holy Spirit coursing through me. I don't feel that resonance with Reiki. Grand Master Tsai and I had a few Reiki Masters in our school and they unanimously agreed that the cultivation program was the missing link to their energy healing practice. Qigong/ Nei gong strengthened their bodies and grounded their energy system and opened their channel to flow free and balanced.

Indeed, sleep well. Ride gently on the moonbows.

Let it flow...

Hello, We have traveled a long way from tears, but maybe not as I have tears of laughter reading all of your replies. Thank you! I feel like tears come when I am overwhelmed with feeling. they have a washing effect on the emotions. I especially like the tears that sneak up on me unexpectedly, they feel so pure. I have four boys, now men, all raised the same, and two of them cry very easily while the other two need a good reason. Back to the tears to God question: The name Leah in the bible mean's "One who cries and God listens." I believe tears are a sacred form of prayer or communication that is a call for love from deep within. Men and woman equally so.

Thank you, That was truly lovely.

Hello windwalker, apologies for the slow reply, but I just came across your question. I can only speak from my personal experience. My sifu is a Shaolin Kung Fu Grand master and a Mei Hua Qigong Grand Master. His name is GM John (Chi Yuan) Tsai; in his youth he was a champion competitor and applauded as a coach of champions. I only say this to demonstrate what he was always saying, "There are philosophers of Qi and there are farmers of Qi, I am the latter." For GM Tsai as a competitor his Qi skills had to be real, not imagined. I apprenticed with GM Tsai as a man in his 60's. The internal cultivation skills he taught me come from his training with a true Shaolin Warrior, who fought the Japanese in Taiwan. Everything he teaches is all a part of his martial art training. I do not study external Kung Fu, but the internal skills I practice are for the cultivation of a person whether they practice external martial art or not. I believe I will develop a reputation on this forum as being long winded, so walk with me just a while longer. To answer your question, perhaps it is intention and application of the technique. I also studied some Tai chi. You know that sweet beginning movement in many forms where you raise the two hands and then sink down again? One Tai Chi teacher explained that the martial aspect of that movement was raising the palms to claw out the opponents eyes. I prefer to raise earth energy up and sink into the ground, but who knows. My training contained a dynamic component to build strong qi as both a defense and for penetration, but I interpret the skills in ways that relate to my life and needs. I have seen Tai chi as a martial art competition and as a way for elderly people to soften and balance. How about you, why do you practice?

Hello Sublimation, I am picking up this thread even though it seems to have slowed. I have compassion for your situation as I have seen several close friends through depression. First i will echo some of the previous advice about exercise and fresh air, rain, sun etc. I am a practitioner and teacher of Qigong and Nei gong.I am a Christian with an open mind and heart who see's the ancient Taoistist writings as manna for the soul and a practical guide to awakening in Christ. But above all I am a practical woman when it comes health and wellness. Looking at the state of depression; the word depression itself. you can just feel the inertia and heaviness of it. I was a body worker for 26 years and I feel peoples energy fields easily. a sensitive person will feel the actual energetic state of depression is dense. that is the reason why movement is helpful. commit to what is doable for you, not someone else, but get moving in your physical body. Especially in nature as nature already carries a higher vibration that can lift you. Second, I have personally been witness to helping people with depression and anxiety through Qigong and some Nei gong. You say you like them so that is a win/win. A good cultivation program will raise the Qi and relieve stagnation in lower dantian. I don't know where you live, but there are many good teachers. and thirdly we must love who we are in all states and be completely honest. Perhaps there is a deep truth you receive in some of your depressed states and you do not want to be entirely cut off from it. Being deeply empathetic with the world could draw one into a depressed state that makes one feel connected. Perhaps not trying to get rid of your depressed states, but find a healthy balance. I teach a breathing meditation where you sink deep into the earth and lose the body to the earth, allowing your energy body to wash and renew. Sinking can be very helpful. Lastly, there is a man named Matt Kahn on you tube who is brilliant for helping the mind out of stuck places. Love and Peace

Hello Green Tiger, I had posted this a few days ago in general discussion, but I believe it will be more relevant here. The essence of this story is one of destiny. I wasn't seeking, I was being called to The Art and when the timing was right, I had the courage to listen and act even though the people closest to me thought I was crazy. The gift I received for my courage and willingness is beyond all compare. I would love to hear your stories of coming to this ancient art that calls out to so few. Thank you in advance for listening. I have a wonderful story to share about how I came to apprentice with a 17th generation Shaolin Kung Fu Mei Hua Qigong Grand Master from Taiwan. For anyone who is interested, grab a cup of tea! As my sifu was fond of saying, but never really doing, "to make a long story short..." I had been living and working as a healing therapist in Rhode Island (US), for 19 years when I became overwhelmed with a sense of impending dread. I am not one to be fearful, but I was beginning to feel like maybe a huge tsunami was coming. The first glimmer of understanding came at a spiritual workshop I attended in the southwest, when a complete stranger, Cindy, kept following me around and introducing me to people as though I lived there. I turned to her and said, "I don't know what you know, but I live in RI and don't see myself moving here any time soon." She looked right at me and said, "Maybe not, but you are moving." Hmmmm. I returned home from that workshop with a new bug in my ear. Mind you at this time I had been a dedicated practitioner of meditation for years and believed that the answer lies within the silent spaces of our minds and heart, but I was overwhelmingly baffled! Unable to ascertain for myself through meditation or prayer why this foreboding feeling would not go away, I consulted a friend, Neri, who is a gifted intuitive and professional dowser. After an hour of the blind leading the blind, she received the message that all information was blocked because I first needed to commit to moving. My friend gave me advice on steps to take to mentally free myself for a move and then she invited me to the Northeast Dowsers Association annual Conference. Taking her advice I began telling people, " I'm moving; not sure where, just letting you know." You can imagine how that went over with family and friends. Still I was beginning to feel energy return and excitement at the prospect. Step 2: I drive to the dowser’s conference in providence, RI where I meet a famous dowser, John Wayne Blassingame. My friend, Neri, asked him to dowse a map for me because I felt too embarrassed to ask him myself. John let his pendulum twirl all over the map while he drew my energy out by asking me what I was looking for in a move. To be honest I didn't feel like I knew what I was looking for as much as I was surrendering to something beyond myself. I didn't feel like much help, but nevertheless his pendulum hovered over Arkansas. He relayed a few interesting facts about Arkansas and we left it at that. Inside I felt nothing for Arkansas and let it go for the time being. Later that night after an evening of dining and singing with my friend and many of the dowsers at the conference, I was saying my goodbyes when John Blassingame said, "Give Arkansas some thought." Damn, confused again. Remember the woman from the Southwest, Cindy, who divined that I was moving? She emails me extolling the gifts of a friend of hers who is an astrologer that helps people with relocation. I am aware that it must sound to the reader that I am putting important decisions about my future into the hands of strangers. Yet somehow it felt more like surrendering to a higher power that was working through these people. After looking at the particulars of my birth location, she charted the most beneficial or affirming places for me to live in the world. Melbourne, Australia was top of the list. I quickly informed her I was not prepared to leave the US as I have children and a limited budget. Really no budget. Taking my limitations into consideration, that left Texas, Arkansas, and southern California. Sorry, but Texas was out and southern California seemed so far away. OMG; that was 2 strikes for Arkansas. Soon after that the woman from the southwest, Cindy, who knows nothing of my investigation into a move so far, sends me an email. She is so excited to inform me that she is moving to stay with a friend of hers. Here is where we insert a drum roll. Yes she is moving to Hot Springs Village, Arkansas. When I read her email the walls came tumbling down and I was filled with wave of realization. Three strikes for Arkansas. Arkansas was it, that was where I was going to move and now I had a place and a person whom I knew there. If I sound nuts to you then you are in the company of just about everyone I know, whom I told, I am moving to Arkansas. Let me redeem myself by saying I first flew out to meet my southwest quazi-friend in Hot Springs Village to check out the area. Hot Springs Village is nestled in the Ouachita Mountains of Arkansas. I arrived at dusk and woke in the morning to the beautiful sounds of nature. I went outside and took a short walk to get a feel for the land. My whole body felt so at ease energetically. OK, long story short, I had no real idea of what this place was, but it felt right and so during that stay I found a place to rent and put down a deposit for the following month and flew home to Rhode Island. This next part I really want to skip because everyone I knew thought I was insane, including my parents who would have preferred I said I was moving to the moon than Arkansas. There is a lot of prejudice out there for Arkansas! My children hated me and truthfully I could not provide any substantial reason for the move accept that I was being called. As for being called, from the moment I decided to move to Arkansas a wave of Grace descended that lasted throughout the entire move and well into our arrival one month later. Amidst much disapproval and disharmony, I packed our belongings into a 16' U-Haul and with the help of a friend who needed to clear her mind, drove with my children to our new home in Arkansas. Grace was with us and within a week I found a salon where I could practice massage therapy and my kids joined a youth group that they loved. A month had gone by and one of my clients at the salon invited me to go a local Karaoke Bar with her and a friend. Life up until then had been pretty uneventful because as it turns out I moved to a predominantly retired community. Yahoo, a night out! Later that night I met my new friends at the Karaoke Bar and enjoyed a glass of wine. An elderly man came up to us and began talking about himself and the restaurant he used to own in the village and everyone he knew. We had a couple of dances, and before parting I handed him a few business cards and asked if he might help me network since he obviously knew everyone. That is the last I saw of that man, whose name is Robert. I am going to leave the story there and skip to just shy of one year later when I get a phone call from Robert, who after asking if I remember him, invited me over to his house to meet a friend of his visiting from Chicago. He said his friend was John Tsai, a Grand Master of Kung Fu. That call came right about the time I was seriously questioning why a single, young, woman such as me had moved to a retirement village. I had to accept based on the grounds that it was the most interesting offer I had had in over a year. Well my patient listeners, if any of you made it thus far, that introduction and meeting with Grand Master Tsai was to be the ending of one life and the beginning of another. John Tsai is a 17th Generation Shaolin Kung Fu and Mei Hua Qigong Grand Master. He is a legend in Kung Fu in Chicago and the coach of many champions, including Arlene Limas, a gold medalist in the Seoul Olympics. GM Tsai asked me many questions about what I thought energy was that first day. He was friendly and unassuming, an easy person to talk to. Three hours passed quickly by and I left feeling curious and excited to have had a small adventure. Three days later I was invited back to Robert’s house to spend more time with GM Tsai if I was interested. He didn't have to ask twice; somehow being in the company of GM Tsai was stimulating and lively even though he was a man of 64 years. This time another woman was there as well and GM Tsai had both of us lie down on the floor and practice a breathing meditation he called Dantian Tu Na. After an hour or more of Dantian Tu Na he had us stand up. He called me over to stand near him and he placed his hand on my Dantian. Next thing I know my spine is moving in slow wave like motion. I was scared because I couldn't understand why my body wanted to move like that. Sensing my apprehension, GMT had me sit down and explained to me that what I felt was my own energy moving through me. I'd love to say that cleared everything up, but I was clueless although less afraid. He repeated the same technique on me and this time because I was less inhibited my spine moved in rhythmic waves that sent a lovely energy to my head. GMT seemed pleased and I felt great. Long story short; I somehow fell into a pattern of arriving at Roberts’s house nearly 7 days a week at 6:00 am to train with Grand Master Tsai for four hours. After greeting me with warm green tea he would ask me to sit down and take dictation while he spoke about Qi and the practice he was teaching me. I didn't understand what I was writing, but I wrote it down anyway. GMT would show me a new technique and then walk away for 45 minutes, leaving me to practice. Something was happening to me, I was changing from the inside out. I was experiencing a quality of energy and connection to life around me that was heightened in a new way. I began to feel ten years younger and had a new desire to challenge my physical abilities. Namely that resulted in climbing trees and wrestling with my teenage sons, What I was unaware of at the time was GMT's plan. He was grooming and training me to be his chief instructor for a Qigong school he was going to open in Arkansas. That is exactly what transpired. After giving a workshop we had a group of people interested in training and on the first meeting date GMT handed me a uniform and I became an instructor. I am a humble person and so at one point I questioned a promotion that GMT gave me saying I have only been practicing for a short while. He seemed somewhat offended and said, "you are training with a Grand Master. What I am teaching you takes some people a lifetime to learn on their own." That is why I call myself a master instructor. I do not have the years that many practitioners have, but I have a masters level of knowledge. I don't practice what I know, I know what I practice. And so it went on for 5 years until Grand Master Tsai moved on to teach others. I took over teaching at our school until I moved back to Rhode Island so that my children could have an easier relationship with their father. I continue to teach the techniques for building a Qi body that I learned from GMT and I continue to learn from the Daoist Classics and other Teachers of Nei gong. In conclusion my advice is to ask the universe with sincerity for what you desire and then be patient and receptive until the answer presents itself to you. Try not to control the whole process. Peace

You're welcome! To answer your question nyerstudent; my website is QiMastersClass.com. As well as the ongoing classes I teach in Rhode Island, I produced a professional quality 3 DVD Set called QiBody Cultivation Level 1. That set is the basic foundations of Grand Master Tsai's Cultivation Techniques from his Shaolin, Mei Hua, Kung Fu internal training. I call it foundation, but it is still beyond where most practitioners are exposed. I also have a juicy YouTube channel with many gems (techniques) from my training. Enjoy! Are you new to the practice?

Thank you for the warm welcome! I am new to the forum, and looking forward to engaging. I am a practitioner and instructor of an internal martial art Qigong, which in this part of the world (western) is fairly obscure, but it appears there is a wellspring of the internal arts at Dao Bums.
