John P. Milton's DVDs

[qingjing]

Hi everyone,

 

I was taking a look at John P. Milton's DVDs and they look really interesting to me. Is anyone here familiar with those DVDs? I've got two specific questions in mind:

 

1 - Is the Wuji form he teaches the same form as Michael Winn's and Paul Rubbio's?

 

2 - I hear he brings a lot from other traditions (like Shamanism, Tibetan Buddhism etc.) into his work. Now, about his Qigong for Life series, does it offer "orthodox" (for lack of a better word) qigong theory and practice, or is it more like his own "mixed version" of energy work based on different traditions? Does he follow the traditional meridian model, yin-yang, jing, qi, shen, etc.?

 

I'm all for integrating different traditions, but I'm still a beginner at qigong, and I wouldn't be able to tell the difference between "qigong-qigong" and "my-own-kind-of-qigong-based-energy-work-with-a-few-additions-qigong", you know?

 

Thanks for your help!

 

cheers

In reply to question 1, yes, it is the same form that Michael Winn and Donald Rubbo teach, also known as Primordial Qigong. I haven't seen any of Milton's other materials though.

Good interview with John P. Milton

I'm learning the Wuji form from John P. Milton's DVD: excellent production, skillfully taught.

(By the way, parts from the Wuji form came to me first through the Shaking Medicine: just open yourself - from the heart - to the life force and you'll be guided to your next step...)
