Ya Mu

I regret in some ways not being able to reprint at the moment and do understand your experience with wanting to feel the paper. It is different than an ebook. To answer your question I have not yet decided on a re-print. However, I do believe the future of books is ebook format. I have a kindle and it has totally transformed my own reading experience. But what I see the future of books is a total multimedia experience. With the advent of android and apple devises that read kindle and other formats we have a chance to immerse the reader in a total experience including sound and video. The new tablets are perfect for this. We are not quite there yet as the software for implementation is not yet available to the individual publisher to imbed this and make it easily available to the public. But it IS coming; I am looking at new features of a particular software package right now; this is the very reason my latest book is not yet available. I want to thank everyone who has been interested in the book and actually made it possible for it to be placed in most countries of the world. On an android and apple device the current kindle book available from amazon.com has color support although not all pictures are in color.

Not exactly what I said. I said there WERE other High Level methods that taught similar things to what I teach versus the thought that it is OK to put sick qi into Earth. If someone is untrained they shouldn't do healing at all. I never said that the method that does put sick qi into Earth didn't work (for the humans getting worked on). If a healer does not know how to deal with sick qi then they should not be doing healings. What I said was that IMO it was BEST to transmute it into Light versus the other and I gave the reasons for why I believe this teaching. Exactly. People should only do healings for others if they are in good physical condition OR if they are willing to sacrifice their own health (mental & physical) for others.

"I don`t buy the argument that this comes as a natural realization of raising the energy vibration rate because then everyone with an equally high vibration as the stillness movement students that realize this would also have realized this and ALL agree on the matter. Clearly not all who have a very high vibration do think this way, hence it is not a necessary consequence but a system specific thing." And exactly who are you referring to? Which system in your mind has the same vibration and teaches different? And how would you know if you didn't practice them? You don't buy the argument because you haven't practiced the system or other High Level systems that teach similar things. There is a very large vibration difference in various systems. You think that the practices are all the same, but they are not. Everything I talk about becomes self-evident during the practice not from what I said. And other systems that utilize the Higher Vibrations DO come to the same or similar realizations. I personally know of more than one other. When I learned Stillness-Movement I was already an accomplished qi projectioner and had studied most all of the esoteric teachings. It was only with practice that I learned what Higher Level vibration means, and yes, I was not projecting the Higher Level vibrations or personally vibrating at these vibrations previously. IMPOSSIBLE to understand what this means without the practice. Most High Level practices will agree that Earth's vibration is off kilter due to humanity's ignorance. Much in the same way as people's vibration is off kilter. Otherwise everyone would be healthy and would live in harmony with Earth. Medical Qigong, as taught in the Chinese hospitals, teaches how to deal with sick qi. The Chinese view of energy healing is one of the more developed forms. It seems that I am receiving quite a bit of hostility in this thread because I expressed an opinion about Earth as an entity and about the difference in taking sick qi out of the body into Earth or transmuting the sick Qi into Light, and how it worked in OUR system, and why I believe it is not a good thing to do. OBVIOUSLY anyone who does not think Earth is an entity would not resonate with these teachings. The same for if you do not practice the system you would not be able to actually transmute the sick qi into Light in the manner we do. And I want to re-iterate that the system I teach is not the only system that utilizes these type of techniques instead of taking sick Qi to Earth. Most of the High Level teachings do have techniques for transmuting the sick qi instead of taking it to Earth. I have only had one response to this so far from anyone that wanted to know the method rather than to tell me that I don't know what I am talking about. Think what you wish.

There are several Taoist energetic systems that can assist the body in removing blockages. Qigong & Neigong are designed to help with this. Purify the nerves? Not sure what you are asking. Eating a good healthy diet would probably be a good start.

Where have I said a word about "environment"? I talked about the entity Earth. If you don't believe Earth is an entity then your view would not be compatible with a view that does. These type of questions are a moot point if you believe I am criticizing other systems for polluting the environment. What I am criticizing is the FACT that so many people get screwed up by not understanding natural laws of energetics which includes sick qi and expressing the OPINION (tempered by over 35 years of experience), which is taught in our system as FACT since we have a specific technique of transmutation, that there is a much better way to handle sick qi than by taking it to the Earth. I am not the only one who believes this as there are several systems that teach how to transmute the sick qi. Believe what you want.

YES!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

"If it is this what you mean then I say one take out the Sick Qi when the human has "energy constipation in excess"." And what do you think is happening to Earth now? Does Earth not need less sick qi instead of more? Does Earth not have this "energy constipation" you refer to? Have you considered "miasms" that I mentioned in another post above? Again, believe what you wish. Your belief is incompatible with the type of healing that we in our system do, which is why advanced students in our system are taught a method of transmuting the sick qi into Light. In our system we are taught to respect Earth as a living entity. One we respect just as we would respect the patient we work on and we certainly would not transfer sick qi INTO a patient. Microcosm - macrocosm.

It is a specific technique within our system. It is taught after the student raises his/her energy body vibration through the Stillness-Movement system. It isn't something that could be posted on a talk forum because there has to be the background within the system in order to be able to do it. As you can see, it is incompatible with the common thinking that goes on here (at least the posts so far). For instance, one couldn't believe that it is OK to pollute Earth and still be able to do this technique, for if they had of raised the energy body vibration to a specific point, at least in our system, they wouldn't believe that. I really wish such things could be taught instantly but they can't. For us, in our system, it becomes self-evident at a certain point in practice that there is a need for such a method. There are other systems that have a similar technique, but it is also within that system and not something that could be instantly learned. Bottom line, I guess, is if someone wishes to heal others they should consider all the details and implications. It is certainly not something to jump into lightly with scattered teachings.

Research homeopathic concept of "miasms". IMO bodies should be burned instead of put into Earth.

Believe what you want. Humanity has been dumping poison into Earth for several decades now and already is paying the price. You could use your same argument and say there is no reason to take the sick qi out of humans either. I guess it would depend on if one believes Earth to be alive or to be a "thing".

Yes, several do this. We were taught the WHY of not doing this and how to transmute the sick qi into Light. Again, if people believe that it is OK to put poison into Earth then they should have no problem utilizing this approach. Edit: But don't believe ALL shamanistic approaches believe what it is OK.

Actually, no. We transmute it into Light versus letting (demanding) that Earth take care of it.

I guess it depends on whether anyone believes that dumping ANY type of poison on/into Earth is the correct thing to do. If anyone believes it is OK then I suppose that person would have no problem dumping more. This sick energy in it's own way is no different that any other poison.

I have posted in detail about this subject from the Taoist medical qigong perspective perhaps 20 or 30 times on this board. People have a choice whether to believe new age stuff someone just made up or the time tested Taoist energy healing methods from the Chinese hospitals where my viewpoints and practical experience of/with this subject come from. I have seen so many healers who didn't understand natural energetic laws who had to retire due to health problems induced from sick qi kickback. IMO we have no right to make Earth swallow black distorted sick energy (which is what we see come out when we do project qi into people's bodies) and it takes correct training to teach someone to transmute this type of energy. Can't tell you how many I have seen who thought they could transmute it and could not, but "many" is probably not adequate. Just thinking everything is roses is the biggest mistake any potential energy healer could make. Is learning to correctly do energy healing worth it? I received a call yesterday from someone who I saw in clinic about 15 years ago. This person had severe debilitating (non responsive to western medicine) migraines. This person said after the session the migraines went away to never return and that the session changed their life. Yes, totally worth it.

Ah, good question. Yes, but not exactly for the reason referenced in this thread. It has to do with assuming responsibility and practicing Virtue (which IS assuming responsibility for who you really are). The more a person raises the energy body vibration through the practices and the more responsibility one takes to heart then the more power one has. So yes, one's power does grow. Practice / Virtue / Assuming responsibility = more power to be able to assume that responsibility.

Awareness comes from raising the energy body vibration. The veils are pierced and filters are burned through in this state. The Gift of Tao movements are energy patterns as seen while in a high vibratory state from practicing Stillness-Movement neigong sitting-sleeping-dreaming (in that order). So really they are reverse Stillness-Movement and will induce Stillness-Movement. In dreamtime they appeared as massive swirling multi-hued patterns. It took me about 15 years to translate these into physical movements. Of course they appear intellectually non-impressive as intellectualism is of the linear mind whereas the movements approach the non-linear. I have never seen any "magical passes" but quite possibly they were derived from qigong. All qigong movement will have some similarities, but what is important is the efficiency from the vibratory state induced.

Yes, it is what a person puts into it. No effort all talk - no results. Effort - results. Thanks for mentioning the information based energetics, so many do not understand this. See you in Terre Haute in August. Yes! Neigong in London.

Yes. Guide to High Level Energy Healing

Its great exercise and a brutally devastating martial art. You will have to decide for yourself if you want to practice it. For me, since I was not interested in practicing the martial aspect, I compared the efficiency of Gift of the Tao movements and the Tai Jee form I was practicing from an energetics standpoint. And due to time that I had to practice, chose to do Gift of the Tao because to me there was really no comparison as far as energetics were concerned. I think everyone has to determine that for themselves. Note here that I don't think Tao's Gift has any martial applications, other than it would keep a martial artist energized just like it would anyone else. I confess I still play around with the Tai Jee on odd occasions and do intellectually remember the martial applications of many of the moves, but that is not practicing it. If I had nothing else to do all day and night, I would probably practice many of the Chinese arts. As a healer and a Teacher I have to concentrate on what I do, and that is energy manipulation. Therefore I need the highest efficiency energetic system possible. Stillness-Movement (and Tao's Gift) is that system. edit: You asked did I have any experience with it. Just a bit. I studied with Y. W. Chang (who always called himself Chen Pan Ling's senior student) for a very few years and practiced for a few more years after that.

Yes, I do think the word "charlatan" fit him quite aptly, whether or not he believed what he was doing. A charlatan trained by a charlatan is still a charlatan. IMO, continuity of myths is just as bad as intentionally deceiving because somewhere inside the myth there is deception.

OP Apologize for contributing to the derailing of your thread. FWIW, I do believe those are roads. FWIW, I do believe that humanity has risen and destroyed (almost) itself many times.

Also, don't think this "pretend master" is not very prevalent in China. I observed over 5,000 people being fooled by this one charlatan "qigong master". It was atrocious.

Oh, I have seen just as many Eastern "masters" who pretended as Western "masters". A non-exclusive club. One example of such are Eastern scholars who come over here to the west, dress in business suits or silks...market "qigong" which has very little to do with qigong. The problem here is, because those guys are Chinese or from other Asian countries, the public automatically accepts what they are presenting as the real thing versus what a an accomplished Western practitioner presents because they "look the part". Whole cults are based on it.

Yes, I am referring to specific Taoist internal art; in common is we don't do any thinking either. A "natural" response is exactly what I am referring to, only the "Listening" and "walking in the Wu Wei" aspect is synchronous with ebb and flow. When one practices this all sort of synchronicity occurs, as in being where we are needed at any specific "time", and as it is in harmony, it will be the path of least resistance, the "correct" path, as in we will be driving along and all of sudden change lanes - had we remained a truck would have run directly into us, etc. This is an advanced art that I would say the majority have no desire to practice, as it requires time & effort, but is a prime aspect of actual practicing Taoists.
