Roadrunner44 Posted May 29, 2018 Hello Everyone, just discovered this website and am looking for feedback. I recently visited a qigong master visiting Santa Cruz, CA from China. A friend invited me to meet this amazing healer, trained in Chinese Medicine, chiropractic and qigong. During my session he felt my pulse and said I was deficient in lung and kidney chi. True enough. Symptoms corroborate this diagnosis. He has very good diagnostic skills. Then, through a translator he said it would cost $3,000 for several treatments to adjust this imbalance. My friend was there and told me this was the lowest the master/doctor had quoted anyone. Wow! I feel that people with amazing healing powers should be more available to the masses.....but, anyway, I said okay. He took medicine/herb balls out of his drawer - which my friend told me were infused with The Master's chi for several weeks. I ate one. Tasted like chinese herbs, actually liked it, then he gave me another. Then, time for the Qi therapy. He went into the bathroom, closed the door, came out with a small wet towel, wiped each of my feet and activated an accupuncture point with his finger, then asked me to stand on the wet towel. He then held my left hand, made some gesture with his left hand over his right bicep, and sent the energy into my left hand. It felt like an electric current. He made it stronger and weaker. At times it was very intense and painful. Then he worked on various meridians/points by directly touching my skin. My friends are really into this guy, but I keep thinking it is some sort of trick. They claim that "someone" asked The Master if this was a trick and he took off his clothes to show that there wasn't any electric gadget on his body. But why the wet towel? And, why is it necessary to touch the body? I've had energy work done in India, and no one touched me and I could still feel a tingly warm energy. I haven't paid the guy, and I a inclined not to, though I have seen him five days in a row. I don't feel any better than before starting treatments. He said that I am starting to clear, but that I am not there yet. Would appreciate anyone's experience with this sort of energy work. Thanks! 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Fa Xin Posted May 30, 2018 (edited) Hello, Roadrunner44, and welcome. Your membership is approved and we're happy you found your way to us. We look forward to accompanying you on some of the way that you still have to go. Please take the time to read the post pinned at the top of this Welcome page and take a look at the forum Terms and Rules. This covers all you need to know when getting started. For the first week you will be restricted to ten posts per day but after that you can post as much as you like. Also, until you’ve posted fifteen times in the forums, you’ll be a “Junior Bum” with somewhat restricted access and will be allowed only two private messages per day. Good luck in your pursuits and best wishes to you, Fa Xin and the TDB team Welcome Roadrunner, I don't know enough to make an informed judgement... Have you felt energy before? Does this feel similar? Usually "qi" has a feel to it... I'd say use your instincts, and your intuition. Also if you don't feel better - that's a sign too. But as far as paying him - have you entered into a business contract? He's been working on you, so maybe you have... Also, for $5000 US I would be skeptical. You are welcome to jump right in to the ongoing discussions, revive an older thread, start a new thread of your own, or start a discussion in the "Newcomer Corner" sub-forum to expand on your introduction or ask general questions to help you get started. May you enjoy your time here. Fa Xin Edited May 30, 2018 by Fa Xin Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
