tao stillness

Here is a recent test report from my medical clairvoyant for the Tao Qi Gong dvd from Australia which I ordered after getting this report: This is actually pretty good. I’m not convinced it is total healing but it acts on a very profound level. The originator of almost all health problems is the Prana subdosha of Vata that is seated in the heart chakra. The Prana is usually thrown out of balance by the stress in the heart chakra and starts a chain of events that result in weaknesses and health problems. This Qi Gong actually works on balancing the Prana subdosha energy and does it pretty well. It also cleanses many of the meridians which carry the Prana. This is good stuff. Eric

I worked at inpatient, 16 bed extended acute care facility for the severely mentally ill. We ran a qigong group for them daily for 8 years. Many schizophrenics there. I used their behavior in the group as one way to measure their progress in treatment. Some of them did some pretty bizarre behavior when they began the group after first being admitted to the facility. But after some months their qigong performance looked pretty good and I even had some them leading the group at times since they made so much progress. The transformation was amazing to watch. We had some patients who would not get out of bed to go to any groups because they were so depressed at times, yet some of those people would get out of bed to go to the qigong group. I asked one elderly schizophrenic who hallucinated quite a bit even while on medication what he got out of qigong. He replied that it was the only time his mind was quiet. We used Spring Forest Qigong because it had research studies showing that it decreased depression and anxiety even beyond the expected levels of the experimenters. The other psychotherapist and myself were then sent to a workshop to be trained in person by Master Chunyi Li so that we could then use Spring Forest Qigong for our qigong group. Obviously, I loved being paid to do qigong on the job. At the workshop which consisted of psychotherapists from all over the United States Chunyi Li demonstrated his ability to see physical ailments with his third eye. He was 100% accurate in finding the exact location for each person's pain. I think that he did this at the beginning of the workshop to show that he was the real thing and that qigong works in order to dispel the skepticism of the audience. I was impressed with how humble and modest Chunyi really is. A good sense of humor too!

Anyone have any experience with Tao Qi Gong dvd from the fellow in South Africa? His ad for his method arrived in my email today and I watched his preview video. The form has some really nice looking movements to it so I requested that my medical clairvoyant test this one. The guy doing this form is an engineer who also claims to have become an intuitive from practicing this qigong method for over 20 years. Kudos for staying with one qigong method for that long. 8 years is the longest I was able to do the same qigong method, Spring Forest Qigong, because that is the method that we used where I worked.

Riding the Ox, Would you mind trying to descrbe what it is like feeling chi in the meridians? I have only felt chi in the hands or in between my arm and shirt from Flying Phoenix.

Tibetan Qi and Nei Gong by Master Ron Lew——Not recommended at this time for you. It is very powerful but would cause the kundalini to go wild all over the body and create a lot of health problems. Definitely hold off on this one. Tibetan Qigong performed by Kay Luthi: consists of Three Palms Together dvd——Some cleansing of the meridians and upward movement of energy but pretty weak. Not much results from this one. Five Element Stake dvd——Like the previous. Positive cleansing and energy movement but weak. Barely perceptible results. One Finger Zen Dynamic dvd——Again not very strong but good purification of the brain and nervous system. This one would do you some good healing and prevention if done for a few months. The above are the test results of Tibetan Qigong from my medical clairvoyant. Keep in mind the results apply only to me. For another person these methods might be great. All of his testing is based on the person requesting the test, results do not always generalize to other people. Of course I am disappointed but this is why I rely on this gifted man so that I do not waste my time or mess up my nervous system doing methods that would not benefit my particular energy bodies and nervous system.

Just heard from Kay Luthi. All is well. She just returned from a few weeks of vacation. Her website is fine and yesterday she just sent out 2 orders of dvds.

What I can report at this time about Ron Lew's Tibetan Qi and Neigong method is that after practicing it for less than one week and only having practiced the first of the 5 movements on that dvd I now still have to go to bed at 2am but now when I go to bed I do not feel tired like I used to. The only thing that has changed in my lifestyle is that I do that first exercise and I also went back to doing once in awhile the Awakening Light Gong method. So one of those methods must be providing some new energy.

I just saw a Chinese video of Nei Jing being performed. Looked easy enough for me to learn. I also saw that Dan Fererrera is offering it on his website. I have looked at his website which seems to consist of qigong methods that he has taken from other people and her makes his videos with him performing the methods. I would prefer to get the method from Kay Luthi considering that she learned it from Master Wang. But credit goes to Sifu Fererrara for selecting some good methods to put on his website. When he offers the free lesson of Breathing the Universe on his site so people can immediately feel the chi, I am surprised that he uses that name because that movement, although pretty common in many qigong methods, has that name from Spring Forest Qigong which I learned in person from Master Chunyi Lin. I think Dan could have at least made up his own name for that movement, LOL. Does anyone know anything about Dan?

That link being in Chinese is not helpful to those of us non-Chinese speaking. Is there an English version?

Since Kay has not replied to my email yet I just phoned her and got her answering machine and left a message asking if her website is still active and if dvd orders will be processed if I choose to order them. Still waiting to hear from my medical intuitive about this. But the descriptions of what these methods do sounds really good if they are not too time consuming.

I have found that sitting in half lotus is much easier if I use a yoga cushion designed I think to have your hips higher than your knees or something like that. I had never been able to sit in that position without back support until I used one of those cushions. Even so, I always have preferred to do FP with back support so that I can be more relaxed.

Hi Jox, Good to know that those methods can be learned on your own. But if they are preliminary to learning the meditation part of the system, what is the value of doing that qigong if one does not go to the workshop to learn the meditation. Or can a different meditation be substituted instead of the tibetan meditation since I would never be able to go to their workshop. My concern is that if Kay is not replying to emails lately, is she sending out the dvds and books if they are ordered? I ordered the Reflective Exercise in 8 Sessions by John Alton a few weeks ago and he has yet to send a confirmation of the order, nor has he replied to 2 emails I sent. So I am now a bit gun shy about ordering any more dvds from people who do not reply to emails. I liked watching the demo of he 3 Palms from the Tibetan Qigong so I think today I will have my medical clairvoyant test those dvds and compare them to Ron Lew's Tibetan Qi and Nei Gong dvd to see if either are of benefit to me and which one would provide more benefits to me. His testing is always based on who is requesting the test. Different methods work better for some than others. Stay tuned for the results which should be posted either later today or tomorrow as Eric Isen tends to get back to me pretty quickly.

You sound wise Frederick. I see that you are really into Reiki. I have been doing Reiki since 1991, very different feel to that energy compared to that from Flying Phoenix. What has impressed me with Reiki is that when you learn level two you can immediately send healing energy long distance and it works very strongly. There is no need to build up any energy before being able to heal self and others with that energy.

Frederick, as you continue reading these posts you will see multiple times where Sifu Terry explains that Flying Phoenix Chi Kung does not follow TCM, it cannot be understood in terms of TCM. I am sure he will elaborate on this.

I have seen this website before. From reading it I suspect one must go to their workshop to receive the lineage transmission of energy for the methods to work. However, I have emailed Kay asking her if the dvds and books are enough to be able to learn and use these methods.

Got tired of feeling nothing from my 40 minutes of invested time doing Awakening Light Gong each day so just learned martial artist Ron Lew'sTibetan Qi and Nei Gong movements, disc 4. Fairly easy to learn once you do them over and over with him you start to catch on. The qi is felt in the hands immediately from these movements. There is no need to do all 5 of the different exercises at the same session. So it fits in with anyone's schedule. He does many repetitions of each form and you can easily see the Tibetan Buddhist influence since one of the exercises uses a mudra. Other exercises have the prayer position and offering positions, once again reflecting the Buddhist styles, and there is also Taoist influences. Really cool looking movements which also offer physical exercise. The only thing I dislike is that the movements are done at a fairly fast pace instead of the usual slow pace of most qigong movements. I have noticed that when a martial artist teaches qigong they tend to move a lot faster. Ron Lew has been involved with the martial arts since 1963. His English is excellent and there is a tranquil mood created from his voice. He explains what the movements are doing to the physiology but he does not mention any benefits in terms of TCM, so that is another thing that is missing. But overall, this seems like a really powerful and enjoyable routine. I did not bother to have my medical intuitive test it yet, but I will do so in about 3 months if I am still using the method by then. The next dvd that I am expecting is called The Reflective Exercise in 8 Sessions by John Alton. This method has you sense the pulse in your lower abdomen and bring that sensation up to your third eye and eventually that energy flows up there on its own and opens things up and really heals conditions immediately on the spot. That is the meditation section. There is also a standing qigong part which also uses a tai chi movement along with qigong. I have seen a sample of it. It is one of the few methods that also has much scientific explanations for how it works and the influences on each part of the body and nervous system components explained in western terms. Stay tuned...

One year later I have an update on Satori Qigong from the above post. Until I went to this thread I had no idea it was one year since I learned Good Morning, Good Evening Qigong and what a coincidence that on this date I decided to go back to doing this routine. A year ago I learned the method but only did it briefly due to the medical clairvoyant's warning. Today I stopped doing Awakening Light Gong which claims to be more advanced than qigong. I did it for 2 weeks, felt nothing from it so decided to go back to doing another qigong method that I had felt something from. In spite of the website ads for this method seeming too commercial and full of hype, the method is very good and the teaching of it is probably the best I have seen on a dvd or download since they explain everything that is going on and what each movement is doing in terms of qi and benefits. And sometime this year, 2016, Tristan is going to release his third qigong method and I think he again teams up with Peter Ragnar for this one too.

As far as using any loud music during qigong I would say not a good idea since loud music adds stress to the nervous system and qigong, like meditation, results in reducing stress. So adding to the level of stress in order to reduce stress, LOL.

This might be off topic but I took a workshop 10 yrs ago when Chunyi came to Washington, DC to instruct a large group of psychotherapists at their annual week long workshop. Chunyi demonstrated in a very modest way that his third eye is indeed open. He had all of the people stand up who had some kind of pain and he instantly in each case told them where the pain was located. He was totally accurate. These were professional people, not plants in the audience at a stage performance. I did Spring Forest at our workplace for 8 years and I agree there is nothing martial arts about it. I would recommend it for beginners who need to be able to feel the chi so that they can start to believe that it is real.

I second the attitude about the worth of the dvds. I have stated my opinion about that on this thread before. Not that many months ago I paid $200 for someone's qigong dvd and it was the worse quality I have ever seen, in fact, it matched the guy's online advertisements which looked like they were shot in his bedroom. It was so bad I did not even finish watching the entire dvd. The low prices of the Flying Phoenix series do not reflect the high quality of the production or the benefits of the chi kung methods.

I have had the consult with my medical clairvoyant about why I am not feeling anything yet from Awakening Light Gong after doing for the last 9 days. He saw that the method is working by first doing purification to release stress from the nervous system. He said this will have to go on for awhile until I am able to have experiences from the method. Makes sense. I was always taught that the purer a person's nervous system is, the higher the state of consciousness that person is in.

When I had my TTP session with Sifu Terry I was grateful for the heat since it was winter and I kept my apartment heat on very low to save expenses so I appreciated the free heat!

It is good to hear from someone who did Yi Gong for so long. It only worked for me once in awhile so I did not stick with it for very long but I really enjoyed it when my leg would shake. Since there is no understanding given on the dvd as to what the method is really supposed to do, I never could fully appreciate the method. I tried to do Gift of the Tao but I did not enjoy the somewhat awkward looking movements so I gave up on that very quickly. I am glad to hear that you have benefited from both methods.

Now I can report on my experiences with what is claimed to be the source of Qi, Awakening Light Gong. I had a wonderful Skype workshop for it and it is super easy to learn and do. What I am going to report has to do with the energy blocks in my own nervous system rather than the effectiveness of this method. I have felt very little qi from this method which for most people results in spontaneous movements caused by the qi flow clearing out energy blocks and old stress. I will be consulting with my medical clairvoyant next week to locate the reason why this powerful method is really showing no results so far. I have read tons of amazing testimonials about it. And before that I have scheduled a Skype session with an intuitive and energy healer in Canada called Maytawee who can trace the reasons for certain health issues. My best friend just had a session with her and what he reported sounded amazing, especially since he usually has been disappointed with previous energy healers. I, of course, will be asking her to find out why I am unable to experience very much from most subtle energy methods such as qigong which other people have powerful experiences from. My medical intuitive always attributes the problem to stress interfering with the brain's ability to sense the energy. I am now hoping to find a more detailed and specific explanation along with some kind of recommendations for a remedy. Then I can dust off the discarded qigong dvds and start all over again, LOL.

I will answer my own question. The One Thousand Hands Buddha dvd arrived last week and the hand movements look really good and they are familiar to anyone who has seen a lot of different Buddha statues with different hand mudras or positions. The finger and hand mudras are easy to due but in between each movement the instructor moves her hands and arms in certain positions and fairly fast and I was unable to duplicate those moves since she does not break them down. I even used a mirror in front of the laptop to get rid of the mirror image and follow her movements directly without having to reverse left and right. I suspect but am not sure that if I just did the static mudras without doing the in between arm movements that I would still get results. I am sure the master would not agree with that however, LOL. Bottom line is that I probably could learn those movements by going back to using slow motion playback but I just am not motivated to put all that time into it so this dvd ends up with all the other qigong dvds that are too challenging. Maybe I will have a garage sale some day just for qiong dvds?
