+1 Just because some use the words doesn't make it the same. The Higher Level Stillness-Movement uses higher-level vibrational patterns and looks nothing like what I see some of you folks describing as spontaneous qigong. Sometimes, initially, when a student thinks they are supposed to be doing something we see that sort of jerking around movement and indeed there can be some release. But the true energy of the Stillness-Movement is usually much deeper spirals with vibrational shifts. Intensely energizing and life-changing, usually bumping up a healers abilities by an order of magnitude.

Hi, I have never met anyone still in body who could fly. SO I can't address that part of your question. I do, however, know running qigong. It has 4 aspects: Lightness technique, stamina technique, swiftness technique, Qi-Pushing up a hill technique, and a separate scare-off-wild-animals technique. It was one of the methods that the Taoists used to cross great distances in the past. At the time I learned it I though it was important to know. Now I really question the need. As an intellectual exercise? My advice would be to forget it. Way too much trouble. It always boils down as to (why?). What greater good comes from learning this? I am not questioning your motive, simply writing my perspective.

Another Medical Qigong author. Impressive! Please list your published books on Medical Qigong for all of us on this forum that don't know you. I may want to read 2 or 3 of them. It seems that quite a few of the medical qigong systems are based on linear techniques. That is, there is a beginning to end with a time line. Non-linear energy manipulation is potentially instantaneous and potentially with no limitation on amplitude. It also operates on the quantum level with no time line. It uses INTENT and not intention or visualization which are products of a finite mind. Cool. If you already have 100% results with your healing practice then you do not have any need of the techniques listed in my book. If you already know who you are and your destiny and can already part the curtain you have no need of the Qigong I teach either. But there are others that have not reached this level, and they are who the book is for.

I don't have any problem with you not liking the book. For the 5 that PM'd you and agreed with you I have 1500 or so that do like it.. Like I said, it is not for everyone. And it would be a poor book if it didn't generate controversy. So all that is perfectly OK! For what it is worth I would estimate that over 50% of martial artists that read it do not like it; most are not oriented to non-linear energy manipulation. For the energy healers that read it an estimate would be that over 90 % do like it. These folk are more open to non-linear energy manipulation. And of course both these examples are not absolute. What I would like to see is reference to back up your statement that was to the effect that there were other sources for the techniques listed that gave more clarity and in greater detail. In the above post I list a few examples that are in the book which I have never seen printed ANYWHERE. So please tell me where these examples are printed, as you said, in greater clarity and in more detail. Or please clarify the statement you made.

I am posting this because I am amazed at some of the posts here in answer to postings by a Taoist Priest. I'm sure I will catch some flack for this but here goes. Re: Recent posts by a Taoist Priest This gentlemen appears to be honestly posting on the experience of Taoist tradition and studies AS DONE IN CHINA. Some have given him quite a bit of negative feedback because (it appears) you don't like organized "religion". But what he posts is very worthwhile and I for one find it very interesting. No, I don't particularly like too much form either. But I know many of the things, especially the High Level teachings, are NOT in the books but are handed down in Lineage. I know for myself one of the most awesome "happenings" to me was in a Taoist temple in China that I was simply touring. Something that absolutely can't be explained linearly. I also know the lineage teachings go way beyond reading the books and sometimes energetically happen instantaneously because they were meant to be (destiny). How many of the books tell about the lost Taoist Medicine system that ABSOLUTELY HAS NOTHING WHATSOEVER TO DO WITH TCM? The answer is none. Very few people, even in China, know it ever existed. But a certain Taoist family lineage kept it alive. I think the teachings ALL (books included) have something to offer us. Just be careful in taking translations from various Chinese texts as direct knowledge or as absolute because even the Chinese Scholars disagree. And I know oral traditions can be distorted as well, but at least one can experience the energetics associated with the lineage and it is much easier to get the essence of the teachings when studying with a real teacher. I am not sure if I have any real point to make here, just stating some thoughts. Sure not trying to offend anyone.

I just edited the above post for clarity. I didn't read the whole thread when I replied and have now done so. THANKS

This post edited for clarity. Me too. You have my permission to place any brief quote from the book you wish on this forum. I am curious as to where the "sex method" listed in the book is listed in more detail. The poster that said this method is listed elsewhere in more detail; where? Was it before or after my publication date? Because this method is totally different than the birth control method most people practice. But it IS simple, as all true qigong is. Also, where and in more detail is there listed Stillness-Movement Qigong complete with the acupuncture Pt. sequence? And where is there listed in more detail the cutting of the cords method? And where is there listed in more detail Clinical Qigong treatment method for stroke-induced dysarthria or clinical qigong female system treatment? I have repeatedly said that, even though I list the method of Stillness-Movement in the book, none can really learn the method from this (folks want it to be listed so I listed it as a reference). The method I teach strictly depends on energy body vibrational changes made by the Teacher's energy projection initially to the student and then the student's continued practice so as to access these Higher Vibrational states. The way I teach is this: 1) Student attends a workshop and I project qi the whole 2 days to raise the energy body vibration rate of the student. 2) Student goes home and practices, raising their energy body vibration rate. 3) Students returns and I work with their "new" energy body vibration rate and raise it while projecting "information based energy" and I start student on Clinical Qigong methodologies for their clients/patients. 4) Student goes home and practices and works with their clients/patients. 5) Student returns and I work with their "new" energy vibration rate, projecting energy to them. I teach more advanced Clinical Qigong methods to the student. They go home and practice on their qigong and work with more clients/patients. 6) This process continues until student reaches a level they are satisfied with. If anyone on this forum bought this book direct from me and is unhappy with it for any reason please return it with your purchase receipt for a full refund. I cannot, however, control purchases made from a distributor. I have NEVER said a person could learn qigong from ANY book. In fact, I say just the opposite - Find a Teacher that can project energy. A lot of people have received good benefit from reading this book and it has received good reviews. But it ISN"T a how to book except as a reference for those that have studied with me. A person that has built good qi and understands qi projection could, however, utilize the qi healing methods listed as they come direct from clinical and hospital based methods. Don't pre-judge. Just simply read while you are in qi state. You may find it is worth far more than what you paid. Let me say this. This book certainly is NOT for everyone. Only when a student has reached a point when they are ready to embrace non-linearity and Higher Vibrational levels will this book have much meaning.

Good Answer!!! When I first learned "Taoism" I though that the Taoist Medicine that I learned was the real Taoism. And it IS! But it (the Tao) is ALSO everything else. Not some quotes or learned techniques or some book or something ANYONE says, but something that can only be found internal to yourself. In other words, living in the Tao is something that becomes self-evident and not what somebody says. I tell my students that they can either listen to me or not, that it really doesn't matter. If they only practice the cultivation then all the truth's that I or anyone else says become self-evident. Also any illusions drop to the wayside. Beautiful way of finding the truths and illusions of ANY pre-conceived belief system.

You will find little info on this system unless you talk to one of my students as I am the only teacher of the Gift of the Tao: Vibratory Acts of Power. Gift of the Tao is a movement system that complements the Stillness-Movement internal system I teach. The movements are an attempt at non-linearity as they are based on reflected energy patterns as perceived on the Higher Levels in Dreamtime. Most people who practice these movement find them to be highly energetic. I am currently working on Gift of the Tao II and will release these new movements when it is time. Practice of Gift of the Tao: Vibratory Acts of Power would be extremely useful in practicing Gift of the Tao II. Stillness-Movement practice would also be very useful in practicing either of these. I will be going over the Gift of the Tao: Vibratory Acts of Power as well as teaching the Stillness-Movement during my next workshop December 13th and 14th. See www.qigongamerica.com for more info. Comparisons with other systems? Don't really like to compare. I could say that this system is more non-linear than some of the other movement systems which are more body oriented. We do not focus on body alignment or posture but instead our awareness is strictly on the Higher Level energy itself.

As all my teachers are no longer carnate here in this dimensional space I know of no one else that teaches this. Here is info on my next workshop. Get me enough students together and I will teach wherever. But bear in mind the Running Qigong is a part of the whole system I teach and I really see no way for it to be separated. One has to first practice the Stillness-Movement Qigong. That said, I'm really tired of the "secret" thing and will be glad to show you the simple techniques involved in Running Qigong if you take one of my workshops.

Sleeping Qigong is part of the system I practice and teach. This practice leads (remember time & effort) to Dreaming Qigong. In Dreaming Qigong one awakens to who they really are. No, I can't post this practice on this forum simply because it is a path as much as it is a technique. I do talk about some of the experiences of Dreaming Qigong in the book A Light Warrior's Guide To High Level Energy Healing.

I know nothing of the system posted but know a little about "spontaneous qigong" The system I teach is called Stillness-Movement. It requires a student to learn to "stop the world", i.e., we have to eliminate the mind from the equation. Then the Teacher projects certain vibrational energy to the student which initiates movement. After that, the student continues to practice. As long as they go home and practice, this continues to build and can be quite powerful. If they go home and think about it without the practice then they have waisted my time and theirs. Re: Running Qigong I teach running qigong. Running Qigong was the very hardest qigong system I ever learned. But the steps are actually easy. There are 4 components of the system. Stamina, Lightness (yes, the techniques you saw on Crouching Tiger Hidden Dragon are demonstrative of the Lightness technique - but of course not real), Qi Pushing, and Swiftness. These are the techniques the old Taoist travelers utilized to cover great distances. A corresponding technique they used was a type of qi projection used to scare away animals that wanted to eat them as they were traveling in the wilderness. This technique works quite well.

My problem with (a lot of) books is that anyone can write a book and say anything they want to (I know I did). And while it is easy to imprint an energy vibration in the book, it is static and not dynamic. At least with a real teacher the energy transmission is dynamic and not static. Let's discuss the root concerns instead of dressing ourselves up in flowery language. Let's talk about what hurts and what we want from life. Let's talk about why we care about spirituality. Is it just a social club? Is it because we need a sense of belonging? Why? These are the serious questions that any serious practitioner should ask (of themselves first, and of others second). To come and to skip all that, and to proceed straight away to the superficial trappings of religion is a completely wrongheaded approach, especially for someone who claims to be a "master". Have to totally agree with you. I was as a child forced to attend a southern baptist church. When I became 9 years old I told my mother that I wasn't going anymore (and didn't) because what these people were teaching was not the truth. Goes to show us that true awakening can come from the least expected source and at the least expected moment.

I, too, find that to be objectionable. I think I just automatically don't pay attention to all that stuff and pay more attention to the Lineage thing. My defense of this gentleman comes not from agreeing with him, but from my own personal energy experiences from having met others like him. Usually, everyone we meet has something to offer. That is one reason I give my students an exercise that I tongue-in-cheek call the "great wally world High Level teachings". I show them the basics of SEEING then have them go to the BIG Store and walk around in a "qi state" with this, "Everyone I meet is just me at another stage of development." It is usually a very profound experience for most folks. I enjoy your thoughtful posts. Thanks for replying. This board is much more civilized than some. I made the mistake years ago of posting in a MA forum. Yikes!

I never know where the books go. Glad you had fun with it. I did too. The Taoist Medicine is actually a neuro-energetic form (Think Qi projection applied to the neurological pathways in a specific vibratory pattern). What may be false belief from one perspective is truth to another perspective, i.e. it is relative to the culture. When all is said and done, what we think is silly is what others may use to launch themselves to the Higher Levels. It's the getting there that counts.

Yes to the Dalai Lama. But the pope? He may just surprise us...... His perspective is from living in China and from living in the tradition of a Taoist Priest. Yes, we in the West have a different perspective. And boy do I not enjoy dealing with titles and such. Way too many "Masters" (and I use the word very loosely) here in the West much less in China But the Lineage information is something that can't be gotten from a book. I totally agree with you about the titles and social positions and I certainly think you have a valid viewpoint. I just think folks are not looking at it from his perspective (and how could we if we didn't live it) and believe we should respect the essence of what he is saying. Beyond the trappings of the "office", I think he probably knows a great deal. Nothing wrong with expressing your honest opinion.

The movements on the Gift of the Tao: Vibratory Acts of Power DVD are not the same as the Stillness-Movement talked about in the book A Light Warrior's Guide to High Level Energy Healing. The Gift of the Tao is a chi kung movement system based on reflected energy patterns perceived (SEEING) in the Higher Vibrational Levels whereas the Stillness-Movement qigong system is a powerful internal chi kung system from China as taught by Teacher Wang Juemin to me. The systems complement each other. Ya Mu gets respect because he was one of my teachers and also the name of my dog that transformed from body recently. Both YaMu's were awesome!

I have a "DNA" chi kung movement on the Gift of the Tao: Vibratory Acts of Power DVD. I saw this energy pattern years ago in my higher level meditations but didn't understand exactly what to do with it. It wasn't until after I woke up one morning with a tumor the size of a grapefruit that I finally understood this move, combined with proper INTENT, would help to reprogram my DNA to the perfect DNA pattern for my body instead of the mutated DNA. This was 5 years ago. My understanding is that DNA "activation" or "reprogramming" is one of the things that happens when teachers of specific lineages project "awakening" energy to their students. This is actually the only way that the Stillness-Movement system I teach can be learned. So, yes, I know it to be possible. Whether most who claim to be able to do it actually can, I don't know.

Funerals in the West are for the most part negative. Haven't you felt the negative energy given off by the intense religious funerals? Especially by the powerful and "righteous" fundamental/baptist/other preachers who use the funeral as an opportunity to "save" someone by putting FEAR into them? I have felt this many times and no longer go to funerals. Earthbound entities do exist and can be quite negative. They don't become earthbound because they are joyous and enlightened. They become earthbound due to things like GUILT, FEAR, ADDICTIONS, SORROW, IGNORANCE, and DOGMA. This book refers to this subject of earth bound spirits and what advanced qigong practitioners can do to help.

ALWAYS check out physiological causes of problems. See your doctor. That said, I had this same phenomena about 20 years ago. PM me with your location and I will see if I know a Clinical Qigong person near you. I would also be glad to see if I could help; but better to see someone near enough to get follow up treatment.

You MUST sit totally still or we will take a switch and hit you! Just kidding This system I teach is called stillness-movement and it is totally not necessary to still the energy movement in the body with the body's corresponding movement. Posture is not considered. We do a sitting in crossed leg position - but if uncomfortable it is OK to stretch out legs or do whatever is needed to remain comfortable. This applies to standing as well. But it is necessary to still the mind.

Interesting to see so many different viewpoints. It goes to show that "qigong" is a multitude of variations. Craig: Just be aware that there exist VERY powerful qigong systems that do NOT use visualization, breath, or structure. In the system I teach we go DIRECT to energy and are never concerned with breath, visualization, or structure. I am sticking with what I say about visualization. Not worthless in some systems, can be powerful BUT definitely finite. AND, definitely NOT needed as a stepping stone to to activating and using the higher centers in the brain/energy body. (Although I would say "higher centers in the energy body" and leave out the limiting brain part. And, yes, totally NOT necessary to learn to "SEE". I do recognize that there are many ways and paths so I am not saying anyone is "wrong" in their viewpoint. Just asking you to recognize that there paths that remove measurable limitations in development (brain waves can be measured, and visualization is a linear concept of the brain). Einstein said something like this, "The intuitive mind is a sacred gift and the rational mind is a faithful servant. We have created a society that honors the servant and has forgotten the gift." I equate the rational mind as part of the problem and believe we all should render it to a faithful servant instead of the controlling factor, as it is in 99% of the population. Master Wang Juemin said this " Stillness-Movement Qigong can awaken our Sacred Gifts". Our "Sacred Gifts "are of our infinite energy body and have nothing to do with the electrical computer called the brain. By working with the energy body the physical body, including the brain, evolves and changes in a natural non-forced manner. This is my understanding today. Tomorrow I may change my mind.

Visualization is linear and considered body/mind. Yes, body/mind medicine works. BUT Qi and qi projection operate on the non-linear (quantum) level and are potentially instantaneous and potentially no limitation on amplitude. If you involve the mind, then you have a finite outcome (brain waves can be measured). So visualization is limiting, while utilizing INTENT, which doesn't involve the mind, potentially has no limitations. I define INTENT as "that through which manifestation occurs utilizing energy." In other words, INTENT is a quantum level event. I describe this in detail in this book.

Here is what I have found through many years of projecting qi and practicing qigong. Everyone has a different level of sensitivity to qi. Some who have never felt it in their lives and have never read anything whatsoever about qi, qigong, Taoism, etc, are able to feel qi immediately. Others, who have even practiced Tai Jee for over 10 years still can't feel it. Most folks who come to my qigong workshops feel qi by the end of the workshop even if they have never heard of qigong before hearing about the workshop. Teaching people how to practice qigong and raising their energy body vibration rate through direct energy manipulation improves their sensitivity level so that they too can feel qi strongly. Qi has always existed; we as a society have been taught that such things are not real by our family and peers. So, when an individual starts knowing for herself/himself that there exists more than meets the eye, they start seeking these practices. So are we really teachers or would it be more appropriate to be called awakeners (cogs in the Tao wheel to be there for each individual that seeks us)?
