Ya Mu

Dang, dude, I was trying to agree with you about the Tai Jee. How old are you? Never mind, your posts betray your time of study and your age. You do not understand qi. You think it is something that requires "make your body burn and sweat, and it should be painful". This is so totally wrong it is sad instead of funny. And your insinuation about me not knowing qigong is pathetic. Once you have practiced about 35 years look me up and we will have a real discussion about it.

I have thought about it. But right now, no. Thanks for your interest.

Can give info - can't give independent review The Gift of the Tao: Vibratory Acts of Power are reflected vibrational patterns as seen on the Higher vibrational levels. They are energy movements derived from the practice of dreaming qigong which is a sub-set of the sleeping qigong form of the Stillness-Movement system of neigong. The DVD has Tao's Gift movements. Stillness-Movement requires attending class with me as vibrational patterns are projected to the student - energy based information - to initiate the student in the system (I project qi to the student for many reasons, this is one). A person can learn Gift of the Tao from the DVD. Even though I saw these patterns in dreamtime and developed the system I would like to credit Master Y W Chang (always referred to himself as Chen Pan Ling's senior student), Master Wang Juemin, and the ascended masters all for their input as I was developing these vibratory acts of power over a period of 15 years. Look for Gift of the Tao II:______ ________ due to be released this year. (yes, I know what goes in the blanks)

Why do you recon the word "Martial" is in "Martial Arts" I think if you examine serious practitioners of "internal" styles versus serious practitioners of "external" styles one thing that you will find is a difference in muscle development. The true "internal" guys muscles will be more like a cat while most external guys go for the hard muscle. So one of the things I see is the strike is more inside out with proper physics alignment with the internal guys and more "hard muscle" force strikes with the external guys.

IMO Hsing I is not neigong; I have practiced it enough to know. While one could call San Ti a "qigong" style posture it certainly doesn't cover any energy spectrum. In terms of efficiency San Ti is about posture and strike force position - not energetics. The 5 elements each have a particular devestating martial application and in no way are they qigong - same for the animals. The problem is that you have never been exposed to real neigong but only MA so in your experience what you say is true. Qigong and neigong is about the manipulation of energy; MA is about kicking someone's tail, incapacitate as quickly as possible - just 2 totally different things. Again, you are like most who are exposed to qigong through MA - no idea about efficiency of energetics, great idea about posture, muscle development, force vectors, and moment arms. The efficiency is in these things - not energetics. What you say about many Tai Chi forms is also what I was taught. Ol Chen Pan Ling looked at all the forms available from an engineer's perspective and "corrected" the moves back to optimum physics - correct moment arms and force vectors. Chen Pan Ling style Tai Jee is representative of what you say was "lost" in the forms.

Hsing I should only be practiced with a teacher; IMO it is one of the better MA's. If I were a MAist that would be what I would concentrate on. Preying Mantis Kung Fu is also a devastating MA and would be my second choice; again you need a teacher. Just like proper neigong - you need a teacher. Neither Hsing I nor Preying Mantis are qigong, they are highly efficient ways to destroy an opponent. There are many movement qigong systems. The Gift of the Tao: Vibratory Acts of Power movement system referenced in my sig below is a highly efficient energetic system and can actually be learned from the DVD. A combination qigong practice of internal meditative style and movement style seems to be the best balanced and more efficient way of cultivating qi. There are many systems out there but it seems that many folks never consider efficiency.

Bet you got called "long nose" at least a couple of times

A "misguided interpretation of what actual qigong is"? My friend, obviously you don't even have a clue what qigong actually is. A teacher who calls themselves a qigong techer should be able to do wei qi liao fa. If they can't, why do you think they know anything about qigong? If they can, then it really doesn't matter what disciple got them there IF they are proficient. REAL qigong allows the practitioner to manipulate energy. Martial arts are fine for those that wish to practice it. But it is not qigong.

OK, if you are really serious about learning qigong, and want to take the health & awareness route, here you go: www.qigongamerica.com March 20/21 and optional 22nd qigong workshop. If you are interested in MA then I would find a Hsing I teacher; totally different thing than qigong. Books are OK to read about something but extremely limited in the real experience. Find a teacher.

Ah, he has the patience to explain. Good

All qigong's are the same. Get a book, practice from it and be a master in 3 days. NOT You may try the NQA.org site, look for teachers.

Wrong, you are not even close.

I don't think there is any problem going from that system to my system but if you are going to be practicing that system why don't you stick with her program if she teaches medical qigong. If she doesn't teach medical qigong then you may be advised to practice the SYSTEM and not try to piece it together. In other words if your goal is medical qigong then I would start with medical qigong. If your goal is to learn a good qigong then I'm sure her system is good, although I do not know what it is. But medical qigong and other qigong is different. One is designed to bring you to the point of energy manipulation for healing others and includes those techniques. The other is designed for (lot of qigong's out there ???). My qigong system comes direct from the Baoding Qigong Healing hospital in China and from 30 plus years of clinical practice of myself and teaching thousands of students. So the whole practice is geared at optimizing a person's energy body so as to be able to heal others. Included in the Stillness-Movement is information based energetics; I project qi to the students during my workshops.

I do think it would be helpful. But dang, I see that you have the potential to be a healer. Why don't you join us at the March workshop? I guarantee you (or your money back) that you will be doing wei qi liao fa by the end of the 3 days.

My perspective on this differs from probably the majority. Intention and visualization, to me are linear processes; they use mental as a force. Very powerful, but will always be limited by the mind; measurable linear waves. I believe that energy manipulation using visualization will always fall short of energy manipulation using INTENT. What I call INTENT is an entirely different thing. I am using it as a noun; its own thing. It is a quantum level event; it transcends time. It is something that has to be developed but this development can go hand-in-hand with energetic development. The more developed an INTENT is, the more access to creation one has. So, the link/alignment with the Divine is a must in INTENT development. So Wu Wei awareness is required. Creation requires both energy and INTENT. So, in order to really manipulate the fabric of the universe, we must raise our energy body vibration, LINK and align with the Divine, practice virtue and walk in the Wu Wei. ALSO, we must assume responsibility. The more responsibility one assumes, combined with the energy body development, leads to a more refined INTENT. I think visualization methods are OK to start with, but at some point, if a person wishes to transcend the in-built limitations of visualization, they have to give it up. And if a person started without using visualization but instead developed INTENT, then they will have a much easier time with no transition between visualization and use of INTENT. Not a popular concept as most people LOVE visualization. And nothing wrong with anatomical awareness as long as it is a tool and not the driving factor.

Wow oh wow - you GET it! Bravo! Visualization, as powerful as it is, will never be as powerful as pure INTENT. I NEVER use visualization.

Yes! A good book on Tui Na techniques for infants is "Infantile Tuina Therapy" compiled by Luan Changye.

Not a fan of visualization techniques. Not a fan of attentiveness (if you mean mental). Big fan of relaxation.

Difficult to say how much because of too many variable, but it appeared to be so. IMO the INTENT and Spirit connection(alignment)and how much a person has raised their energy body vibration will ALWAYS override any physicality.

The magnetic induction from you, while in proximity to your pregnant wife, will get the baby used to your energetics. So I don't think you will have any problems. Just use common sense; if the baby starts boiling water with his/her qi then you may want to tone down a bit. Newborns ARE extremely energy sensitive. I remember about 15-20 years ago I was called to a hospital where a very young baby was brought back into the hospital after being sent home. Extremely high fever, and other symptoms. The doctors had tried everything they could and could not give the child any relief and the outcome did not look good (why I was called; generally folks don't call a qigong healer into western hospitals for baby healing). When I walked in the baby was asleep on his stomach. I started projecting energy and the child immediately woke up turned over and was obviously watching the Light show, moving his head to the patterns. The baby was released from the hospital the next morning with no fever and no other symptoms.

Good. Never tried the orgone/etc but do the magnets and blessing. Today I was simply stirring a large glass of deep well water with a spoon and noticed the intense vortex set up. I then did the blessing while it was in the physical vortex, adding an energy vortex...interesting...

Good. Sometimes it is a simple matter of the way we approach things. I remember having a great epiphany while taking out the garbage. I was "put out" that day having to do this. But then I changed perspective, it is not having to do this but I GET TO do this, how freakin awesome! Now I have such a great time taking out the garbage.

Absolutely! Entirely dependent on one's alignment. I believe in good filtration. We have a deep well and I use a 20 micron filter ahead of a 1 micron filter. Have to change it fairly often. We also have a "Big Berkey" filter for emergency backup. Actually I think it is this one. edit: I do think the vortex and magnetic devices may have merit. I usually sit my glass of water on top of a N pole neg polarity magnet (out of habit) and at times have had a magnet taped to the supply lines. But I would not pay $1000 for a piece of bent pipe as referenced in one of the above links. Too much money asked is a negative - not a positive. Make your own.

I actually do not put much emphasis on breath. What I have found is that if one involves the mind to control the breath then the qi loses its natural flow. I have also found that the breath changes with the natural flow, so I allow the qi to control the breath versus attempting to control the qi with the breath. Not really fond of most breath control techniques for this reason; I use only 2 Taoist breath techniques under special circumstances.
