Dear Lovers of  Mysterious Nuclear Processes that Emit Huge Energy,

When I was in 5th grade, I developed a fascination with nuclear energy. I entered a school Science Fair and won a prize with my demonstration of how nuclear reactors worked. Adults were surprised and baffled why a ten year old boy was into such an esoteric aspect of physics, mostly over their heads. I see now this foreshadowed my later interest with high energy states such as  kundalini (Microcosmic Orbit). Taoist Fusion of the Five Elements is the Ancient’s way to safely tap into human nuclear fusion energy.

The principles of a nuclear fusion reactor and Taoist Fusion of the Five Elements are identical. But Taoists were a couple of thousand years ahead of  modern geeks in figuring out these principles. Modern science in fact still cannot explain the fundamental source or laws regulating human consciousness. Two of the most obvious common phenomena science has failed to explain are the source of power behind human emotions and the power of digestion to convert one raw element (food) into consciousness.

   

L: Michael Winn in Anyang, China, wheere King Wen organized the sequence of the I Ching’s 64 hexagrams while in prison. Photo is taken next to the walls of his prison, considered the birthplace of the I Ching, the Classic Book of Unchanging Changes that is at the root of Chinese culture. This ancient  hetu or Turtle chart diagram with 10 sets of black and white dots is the foundation for the I Ching, and maps out the Taoist process of Fusion of the Five Elements. R: Modern diagram showing nuclear fusion process – same sequence of dots, now used to map out particle charges fusing together to access infinite energy.

Yes, even in the 21st century, digestion is a mystery to scientists. How DO we turn a carrot into consciousness, and what causes a feeling of pleasure or satisfaction to arise within that consciousness? But if you understand the Tao of nuclear fusion, it all begins to makes sense.

When we eat food, we are eating some combination of the Five Elements, the substratum of Nature. Our body fuses these elements together, and the result is body heat, movement, and active consciousness, such as feelings. But most of this happens SUB-consciously. Taoist Fusion of the Five Elements brings these deep body-mind processes into the realm of our conscious control.

Even physicists admit the Second Law of Thermodynamics- the conservation and equilibrium of energy within any system – do not apply to human bodies. We violate that law. The amount of emotional, mental, and sexual energy emitted by human beings cannot be accounted for by the amount of energy “input” into a human as food, water, and air, Extra energy is coming into the human equation  from an unknown, unmeasurable source.

                How Human Beings Defy the Laws of Physics

My explanation as to why humans violate this physics law? Here’s a clue rom wikipedia: “Gravitational systems tend towards non-even distribution of mass and energy. The universe on a large scale is a gravitational system, and the second law may therefore not apply to it:.” What scientists fail to recognize is that humans have their own powerful field of spiritual gravity. We are divine beings that arise from the cosmic Source. A soul is fusion point of spiritual gravity. Our soul relationship to Source allows us to transcend merely physical laws of chemistry or physics – we can draw in extra energy directly from Source.

That Source of energy (call it Tao, God, whatever you want)  is what we are in equilibrium with – and that allows humans access to an infinite amount of energy. Taoists call it Original Breath, or yuan Qi. It’s everywhere,like the air we breathe, or water to a fish.  But we can enjoy it only IF we know HOW to perceive, access and manage that energy. There is a psychic “fail safe” system within humans that protects us from accessing that infinite energy until we are ready to take responsibility for it. There are too many immature souls (pejoratively known as morons 🙂 running about to be trusted with such power.

 

L: The secret of Taoist inner alchemy is HOW to use amplify the human power of spiritual gravity to condense and focus body-mind consciousness, thus neutralizing the natural expansion and dispersion of motion/heat. R: Nuclear fusion process is in fact an example of External Alchemy, using the polarities of particles to re-create conditions in which source energy can flow through. All forms of alchemy can been seen as a kind of prmal sexual balancing act of all the yin-yang forces of creation.

     Taoist Fusion of the Five Elements – the Original Nuclear Fusion

There is an art and a science to making this infinite energy tangible, i.e. into working finite energy.. What I love most about Taoist methods is their simplicity and practicality. In the Fusion level 1 seminar I’m teaching in Asheville on March 1-2, we go through the basics of managing our deep psychic forces, step-by-step. We start with controlling our body temperature, then move to regulating our “internal emotional weather”. We leventually learn to activate our “inner nuclear fusion power station” in our lower dantian.

Fusion of the Five Elements 1 is just the beginning of internal alchemy. We start by accessing the infinite emotional energy that exists within the human body. This is Emotional Alchemy, the process of cultivating one’s Original or True Feelings that express our experience of arising from the Tao or Source. Then we move into Water & Fire internal alchemy, Kan & Li. That is like getting inside the nuclear reactor to the rods that control the combusting cosmic plasma, the substance of our human psychic life.

If you have learned the Six Heaing Sounds and Microcosmic Orbit, you are eligible to attend this Fusion of the Five Elements emotional alchemy seminar March 1 & 2. Call 828 505 1444 or just hit reply to this email. If you cannot make it, consider the home study course. It’s 9 Major Benefits are described below.

    

Typical “dirty” fission reactor. The damaged fission reactors at Fukushima are a warning that nuclear fission poses a risk to human evolution. The more people that begin doing Taoist internal fusion work, the sooner I believe that humanity will shift to clean fusion nuclear plants.

Difference Between Fission and Fusion Nuclear Reactors

Modern scientists know very well that nuclear fusion offers the possibility of an almost limitless source of energy without the dangers of nuclear fission – one of the world’s most controversial sources of power. A fission reaction, the kind used in current electricity generation, produces energy by splitting atoms.

     

A fusion reactor in this shape is called a tokamak. The most efficient shape for the magnetically confined plasma is a donut shape (toroid).“Tokamak” is a Russian acronym for “toroidal chamber with axial magnetic field.”

Fusion, on the other hand, produces energy by molding two light atoms together into a heavier one, creating clean energy in a process revealed by Einstein’s formula E=MC squared. Scientists had to build billion dollar Torus (donut) shaped fusion reactors to contain the enormous magnetically compressed plasma energy unleashed by fusion once ignited.

I have a whole chapter on the power behind the Torus shape in my forthcoming Primordial Tai Chi book 2, Torus is the shape used in Eight Extraordinary Vessels Qigong taught for Fusion 3.

   

L: The sun is an integrated fusion and fission nuclear reactor. R: What the inside of the sun and the pattern of a human Energy Body looks like – identical torus-shaped flows of yin-yang energy pulsing in and out of a neutral core.

But igniting a nuclear usion reaction has always been the problem. The amount of energy needed to start the fusion reaction exceeds the total amount of energy generated.That’s why we’re still using “dirty” fission reactors. There is no practical advantage until the ignition problem is solved. But scientists at Livermore laboratory used groups of focused lasers recently in a breakthrough that may lead to the commercialization of fusion eventually.

                    Cold Nuclear Fusion at Room or Body Temperature?

Of course, there is the controversial issue of Cold Fusion, which is much closer to what human beings are already doing inside their body. Cold Fusion activates nuclear fusion processes at room temperature, i.e in one’s kitchen sink, or in the trunk of one’s car, potentially powering a hydrogen fuel engine.

My advice is not to wait around for the commercialization of external “hot” nuclear fusion reactors, nor for the “cold” variety – someone is going to charge you money for that energy. Why not practice an internal form of Cold Fusion inside your body — NOW? It is FREE ENERGY, just for the taking.

Learn to activate your own internal nuclear fusion process with the Taoist Fusion of the Five Elements. You can take that with you everywhere you go, and apply the creative energy into every aspect of your life. It won’t run your car, but it will add quality of life to your body-mind, charge up your health and your longevity. You may even feel like joining my “150 Club”, for folks who choose to live outside of culturally driven thought form of death.

     Internal Fusion Dissolves Resistance to Being Our True Self

What is the main purpose of Taoist Fusion? It is to make the sub-conscious into a conscious process. This internal resistance to “being our true self” comes from forces hidden deep inside our psyche. Until we can see them, feel them, embrace, and re-integrate them into our conscious process, we will have struggle in our life. We will repeat the negative or dysfunctional patterns over and over again until we finally figure out a process to love them back into wholeness.                      

              9 Major Benefits of Fusion of the Five Elements #1

(from description of the 8 Audio Fusion 1 CDs on https://www.michaelwinn.qlogictechnologies.com/fusion1.html

One of the greatest challenges to modern spiritual seekers is confusion over feelings. Where do they come from? Why are they so elusive? Where does negativity come from? How can we harness feelings to deepen our soul realization? Fusion of the Five Elements is an amazing spiritual technology that reveals the secrets of our mind and emotions that are essential to progress on any path. It is truly a gift from Tao to humanity to restore harmony.

The 9 Major Benefits of “Cultivating True Feelings”:

1. Learn a practical way to stay emotionally neutral while being body-centered and fully present – and still feel what is happening in any situation. “Neutral” is way to describe “centered”, a neutral feeling space from which we can express strong feelings – without falling into the illusion that temporary feelings make up our self-identity.

 

Artistic depictions of Fusion nuclear process, how it creates a “unifying fire”.

Open up communication pathways between the five inner “body gods” of our heart-mind (“xin”) and your outer sensory perception. These are the five spirits or vital organ intelligences embodied in our heart, spleen-pancreas, lungs, kidneys, and liver. We learn how to reverse the chi normally flowing out our tongue, mouth, nose, ears, and eyes so that it flows instead inward to nourish the inner organs.

2. This one simple technique of “How to Absorb vs. Constantly Spend Energy” can cure the exhaustion that plagues so many people! Instead of constantly spending energy out your senses, you absorb chi into your sensory and vital organs from the larger chi field of the environment. What used to be “stress” is now “food that recharges”.

3. Elevate the harmonizing power of your Inner Smile to a deeper level. Smile to your body spirits, support them in turning the wheel of the “creation” (sheng) cycle, the pattern of nourishing chi flow between the “five sub-personalities” of our inner soul team. This deeper, more collective Inner Smile allows us to shape the flow of archetypal forces hidden within the sacred space inside our body. The creation cycle is a foundational principle of classical Chinese medicine. It empowers us to diagnose and heal a wide variety of biological, emotional, mental, and spiritual disorders.

4. Explores how feelings arise, how they control us, why we wrongly worship feelings, even in the context of personal relationships. This draws a clear distinction between what I call Taoist Depth Psychology and most popular forms of western psychology. Western psychology is mostly based on managing feelings; feelings are the “highest authority of the psyche”. Fusion is based on contacting our Original Feeling, beyond the feelings of the personality. This allows us to shape the Original Chi matrix underlying our feelings, thoughts, and sensory perception.

5. Where does our “dark side” come from? This course details the developmental pathway of the Five Body Spirits (“wu jingshen”) from the pre-natal realm of the Original Spirit, how they emerge at birth and gain power in childhood. It is a major revelation to discover how our very own body intelligences begin as guardians and end up as “the Resistance” creating struggle, disease and failure in our adult life.
         

L: Two stars getting ready to  fuse inside a galactic cloud, activating a super nova. R: painting by Aerophis of the moment of fusion, two pearls/particles of opposite force joining together as one.

6. Learn the secret of “eating” negative emotional energy, blending it in a “cauldron” at the navel. The yin Fusion practice gently embraces negative emotions and slowly “dissolves” un-centered or dis-harmonious feelings back into the belly center/dantian. I call this emotional resolution process our “inner soul theatre”. At the same time this heart-centered process grows a powerful internal Energy Body as the ego-self is healed of its fragmentation and struggle.

7. Explore the option of using the bagua shape to focus on negativity, strip off the negative charge, and thus convert it into positive energy. The yang Fusion practice uses high speed “chopping and blending” of negative thought/feeling forms using spinning bagua shapes. This is extremely useful in quickly resolving highly negative or overwhelming situations that yin methods are too slow to handle.

  

Artists conception of plasma condensing inside nuclear fusion reactor to form a pearl or portal for infinite energy to flow through.

8. Learn the power of forming an inner Pearl. Practice a powerful method for absorbing the hidden innate virtues that connect you to Original Spirit and the Tao. Even if you have not been very loving or kind in life, this allows you to tap into the infinite ocean of potential love, kindness, wisdom, strength and trust and accumulate their essence in your body-mind. What you absorb inside you will later radiate out into your life.

9. Learn to fuse the soul essences that control your destiny into a single radiant golden “pearl” – the first stage of allowing your true self to embody and express itself from the space of Original Feeling. This process is the foundation for the higher alchemy formulas.

NEW WORKSHOP! Qigong for Longevity & Abundance April 12-13 in Asheville

 

Qigong for Longevity & Abundance

co-taught by Michael Winn and Tony Balisteri

Are YOU ready to cross the bridge and fulfill your wildest, most far out dreams?

Where: Biltmore Park Hilton Hotel, Asheville, N.C. (details below)

When: Sat-Sun, April 12-13 , 2014   9 am to 5 pm

To book: call 888 999 0555 or info@michaelwinn.qlogictechnologies.com

Learn Primordial Tai Chi for Enlightened Love from Michael Winn, with special attention onhow to apply it towards living a longer, healthier, and more abundant life.

After practicing the form for over 15 years, he is ready to share some of his secrets as to how to focus one’s intent before, during, and after the “Wu Ji Gong” Ceremony, literally “Skill at Entering the Unknown”. It is what we bring back from the “unknown” that helps us manifest what we need in the “known”, i.e. our daily lives.

This magical, powerful 800 year old lineage qigong ceremony integrates the grace of Tai Chi, the magic square of feng shui, the dynamic inner coupling of Taoist alchemy, the healing benefits of medical qigong, and the earthly transmission power of China’s original tai chi form!

Learn to gather the directional chi of Heaven and Earth in graceful spirals. This is one of my favorite forms, and only requires 15 min. practice length. If you’ve learned the form from the DVD, this will take you much deeper.

For more about the form, and numerous testimonials about how amazing the form is, please see http://www.taichi-enlightenment.com

This qigong form will be integrated with the master-manifesting skills of Tony Balistreri:

 

from Tony Balistreri:

Things have been changing, have you noticed? There’s a new energy available to us. I believe it is new to the planet. We have moved into a time in our human evolution where this physical existence has become more malleable. This is an amazing opportunity for us to truly begin to create how we prefer our lives to be. Sometimes, it may feel as though we are stumbling through this existence, without being able to influence it.

“I know you’ve heard this before, however, no matter how hard we try, this life cannot be changed from the outside.”

Our preferences must take form from the inside for life to reflect it back to us. Simple as this may sound, it takes a bit of guidance and practice. I will guide you through specific mediations and give you practical tools to help you bolster your power of intention. You’ll gain unlimited, unfailing power to manifest your dreams. Even more, you will come away with a certainty, a clarity, a knowing, and a new confidence in your own abilities.

Michael and I invite you to explore:

Ultimate Spiritual Adventure: China Dream Trip May 16-June 3, 2014

Get the full juicy detailed itinerary & 60 photos from past Dream trips: https://www.michaelwinn.qlogictechnologies.com/cgi-bin/articles.pl?rm=mode2&articleid=140#

              

L: Hanging Temples 1500 years old, near Taoist Sacred Mountain of North, Mt. Heng. R: Mr. Hua is center of Taoist Dream Practice, where many immortals are said to achieved themselves.

Dear Lovers of Spiritual Adventure —

Even if you believe you cannot go to China, please still read this, take the trip vicariously. You’ll get a great education, with 60 photos making it easy. China Dream Trip is for people who believe life is a spiritual adventure. It’s for souls that hunger for the riches of ancient wisdom in faraway lands, and dream of merging that exotic experience into their present moment. I’ve been to more than 100 countries. My philosophy can be summed up:

“Life is not measured by the number of breaths we take,but by the places and moments that take our breath away”. — an Enlightened Traveller

Visit 3 Sacred Tao Mountains on what I promise will be the most amazing trip of your life:

1. Mt. Heng, Taoist Sacred Mountain of the North, and nearby famous 1500 year old Hanging Temples.                                        

2. Mt. Hua, Flower Mountain. Taoist Sacred Mountain of the West – the most spiritually powerful mountain in China. In written records, more Tao immortals achieved themselves on Huashan than anywhere else.  In 2012 I got married atop its sheer 3000 foot granite cliffs. We stay in monasteries or caves used by ancient Tao adepts to dream their Way to immortality. 

3. Lao Tzu’s Ascension Site in the Zhong Nan mountains, near Louguantai, “Place of Highest Contemplation”. This is where Lao Tzu also transmitted the 5000 character Tao Te Ching. It has amazingly high etheric energy – my favorite meditation spot in China.

PLUS  stay in Huashan Monastery or Cave, and see China’s Major Cultural Attractions: Temple of Heaven, Great Wall,  Xian ancient walled capitol, Terra Cotta Warriors, many powerful Taoist temples.

2014 DREAM TRIP HIGHLIGHTS – 15 Good Reasons to Go On This Trip

1. Beijing: Temple of Heaven, 4 days of qigong & tai chi training, Taoist White Cloud Temple, Forbidden City
                           

The Temple of Heaven is a 14th century spaceship for launching Energy Bodies. I plan to build a replica in North Carolina for a retreat center!

2. Great Wall: do Primordial Tai Chi on top to capture its powerful Dragon Qi (chi).
                                       
         

3. Mt. Heng: Taoist Sacred Mountain of the North, breath-taking Hanging Temples, ancient pilgrim town of Datong with 9 Dragons Wall, Pagoda, and Sacred Grottoes with 50,000 Buddhas.

         

4. Xian: ancient walled capitol, Moslem bazaar, 8 Immortals Temple, City Gods Temple

                

5. Terra Cotta Warriors. 2300 year-old army of individually sculpted soldiers covers 5 football fields – China’s most famous site. At the site is a monument to the famous horses of antiquity that inspired the growth of the Chinese empire. Appropriate theme for this Year of the Horse.
                                  

6. Mt. Hua “dream caves”: Flower Mountain’s fabulous peaks, temples, caves where we co-dream with immortal beings

               

L: those tiny dots are people, not ants, hiking up a ridge to West Peak monastery!

7. Louguantai. Lao Tzu’s ascension site, the original Taoist spiritual power center.

                        

               Cauldron and Taoist priest at the Temple of Lao Tzu in Louguantai.

8. Learn Spiritual Tai Chi in China. Anyone can learn and practice the gracefully simple 800 year old Tai Chi for Enlightened Love lineage form, aka  Primordial Qigong. Mantak Chia learned this form on the 2010 Dream Trip, and loved it so much he adopted it into the Healing Tao certification system. Attendees on this trip get certified to teach the form. It’s an amazing form that combines qigong, inner alchemy, feng shui, and tai chi.

Get free DVD in advance, when you put trip deposit down.  This is something that you’ll take home with you, a lifetime treasure. Even as we visit the “must-see” cultural highlights of China, we constantly focus on using Qigong & Tai Chi to develop a profound “earth connection”.

9. The EARTH QI IN CHINA IS DIFFERENT. It has been cultivated for thousands of years already, so it is more refined than other parts of the world. We practice in China’s most powerful sacred  mountains and caves. Taoist adepts have practiced here for thousands of years. Their special Qi will support each of us. When you come home, you will feel super-grounded, ready to create your deepest Life Path.

10. It’s Easy. Climb on some of China’s most powerful sacred mountains. We keep the hiking easy, using cable cars to first get to the spectacular walking areas. Yes, there are a few short stretches of steep stairs – but who cares when the view is what is really taking your breath away? Our group qigong practice will give you incredible energy to handle those stairs and our packed travel schedule.

11. China’s top power spots: feel self-empowered. Our group tai chi practice at Taoist “sacred power” sites is very, very empowering. This form feels different in China, even if you’ve been doing it for years. The Tao Immortals who originally transmitted this form are likely to show up!

12. Shamanic 7-Star Big Dipper Qigong. Training by Michael Winn in the rare and ancient shamanic Seven Star Big Dipper Qigong Ceremony, from Nu Xian Pai, “Path of the Female Immortals” lineage. It aligns with Taoist inner alchemy method of absorbing purple Qi from the Pole Star. This shamanic qigong generates a very special and powerful Qi field — used in ancient times to build a protective field around one’s community or before going into battle. Taoists believe the Pole Star & 7 Big Dipper stars control human destiny. Are you ready to take control of your destiny?

                   

L: Dream Tripper meditating in 8 Immortals Temple. You can feel the vibration of 1500 years of meditation. R: Tripper in deep trance at Lao Tzu’s Ascension Site near Louguantai – amazing etheric energy, my favorite power spot in China.

13. Deep Meditation. Taoist temples allow space for deep tranquil meditation in the midst of 1.5 billion people. We’ll meditate (you choose a method best for you)  in Beijing’s White Cloud Temple and Temple of Heaven;  Xian’s City God Temple; the 8 Immortals Temple (1400 years old!); Huashan’s Jade Spring Temple, White Ruler God Temple, and Goddess of the 9 Heavens Temple, one of many Flower (“Hua”) Mountain temples dedicated to female Immortals. There are many “cave temples” atop Mt. Hua, dedicated to various divine beings – Jade Emperor, Thunder God, Kuan Yin, etc.These temples are all highly charged with deep spiritual energy of the Tao.

14. Stay in a monastery or a cave on Huashan. This has been hugely popular and led to many powerful spiritual experiences. For those who don’t want to “rough it” fasting in a cave, you can sleep and eat in a comfortable monastery and meditate during the day in a special cave, a Kuan Yin Temple that is not open to the public, just our group..

   

L: Statue of Chen Tuan at base of Mt. Hua. He’s The Sleeping Immortal who dreamed for months at a time.  R: Weak Peak of Mt. Hua has a monastery atop it where we stay.

15. Have the spiritual adventure of a lifetime!
Follow your own “Way” in China, on a Journey designed to be a life-changing experience. Do you want to enrich your life and have some “serious spiritual fun” with a fabulous group of souls? If you seek a shot of fresh energy to unfold your highest destiny, this is the trip for you.

  • PLAN AHEAD FOR THIS SPRING & SUMMER!!!!!

  • FUSION of the FIVE ELEMENTS 2 & 3. Open the Macro-Cosmic Orbit & 8 Extraordinary Vessels

  • April 30 – May 1, 2011 (Sat-Sun): Asheville, N.C.

    Open the Macro-Cosmic Orbit by linking chi flow in the Eight Extraordinary (“psychic”) channels. These channels link your pre-natal and post-natal energy bodies, i.e. the deep structure of how you birth yourself each flowing moment. Source needs a pathway to flow into the physical body, and this is the pathway.

     Learn to purify your aura & regulate your Energy Body with belt & thrusting channels. Give to and Receive chi from the environment with Positive & Negative Arm & Leg channels.

    The 8 Extra Vessels connect the inner and outer chi field, and allow you to “dance” between your inner and outer life. The Wudang Mountain version of the macro-cosmic orbit will also be taught as the most powerful internal method I’ve found for integrating the 8  Extraordinary Vessels into a continuous flowing circuit.

    The macro-orbit is the foundation for opening chi flow to 8 Original Forces of Universe (I Ching trigram-tones). Powerful “8 Extraordinary Vessels” qigong form makes this practice simple to remember. It heals deep psychic imbalances not reached by acupuncture. Many mysterious and chronic illnesses can be healed at this 8 Extra Vessels level, much faster than using ordinary 12 meridian acupuncture or herbs.

    Another new practice taught is my recently developed “9 Spirals of the Energy Body” in the four directions to integrate the Five Vital Organ Spirits (Shen)  with the Five Directional Dragons. This practice connects the internal flow of your macro-cosmic orbit out to the edge of the universe – and back! A wonderfully empowering and healing journey.

    This course lays a strong foundation for Healing Love and Water & Fire (Kan & Li) Alchemy.

    Pre-req: Fusion 1, live or by homestudy. Learning the energy channel work of Fusion 2/3 without doing the emotional body/inner pearl work of Fusion 1 is also possible, but not optimal. Email me first.

Qigong Fundamentals 1 eBook (EXCERPT from Introduction)

Five Animals Do the Six Healing Sounds

By Michael Winn

 

Inner Meaning of Five Phase Cycles

Let’s go to the next level of our training. We will now learn the Five Animals Play. This particular form I call Five Animals Do the Six Healing Sounds. This is my integration of two of the oldest forms of chi kung in China, the Five Animals and the Six Healing Breaths (or in modern times, “sounds”). Elements of both chi kung forms were found inscribed on silk fragments in the famous Mawangdui tomb discovery, dated to 216 b.c.

In these silk fragments the animals and their sounds were clearly being used for medical purposes. The five animals was originally probably a kind of a shamanic dance, a way of getting in touch with animal spirits for self-healing and empowerment. They believed these animal spirits could connect you to the underworld and the supernatural world. If you could harness them, you could be healed or gain insight and magical powers from the unseen world.

The five animals evolved within Taoist (Daoist) culture to represent the five spirits or the intelligences (wu jing shen) of the five major human vital organs. That’s where the human underworld is actually hidden, right inside our body. The underworld is not in some abstract dimension of our psyche, its right here if we know where to look for it. There are five animals, one for each of the five elements.

Shamanic Power Animals Live Inside Human Body

The evolution of spiritual training in ancient China was marked, I believe, by the absorption of shamanic powers and techniques into a more advanced, all inclusive alchemical science. The wisdom of the Daoist alchemists was that the entire universe, in its essential form, is contained within our human animal body.

They realized, we can stop chasing after ourselves outside of ourselves. It is all right here, under our very nose. So the shamanic journey into “other realms” evolved into the Taoist notion of an expanded energy body. The journey became increasingly internalized. You don’t need to travel to get to the underworld, you carry it around with you, right inside your body.

Praise for Michael Winn’s “Five Animals Play Six Healing Sounds”

I would like to tell the whole world to get this video

“I’m writing to call your attention to my whole-hearted rave about Chi Kung Fundamentals #1 home study course, which I just now posted on our Forum “Tao Speaks!” You might enjoy seeing it, and thanking Michael Winn on my behalf. As my fellow forum members know, I was expected to die at any moment from the severity of my asthma.

I am 68, and also have emphysema, and this video, more than any other source has improved my health, mental and physical, remarkably. I am able to do my own shopping, for the first time in ages, can walk half a mile without creating an emergency for myself, can get around the house and yard without the ski pole I’d relied on. I wish I was a faster learner, but this has been so amazing.

“Each animal play has a particular emotional problem it is expected to dispel. In his system, Tiger (white, lungs, cloud) dispels grief; Bear (blue, kidneys, ocean) dispels fear; Deer (green, liver, vegetation) dispels anger; Crane (red, heart, fire) dispels self-judgment; and Monkey (yellow, spleen, sun) dispels worry. Interesting to me, because from the emotional perspective, this lists problems I have had, in order of severity, AND it lists the exercises, for me, in order of difficulty.

I had no problem with Tiger and Bear. Deer is very awkward for me. Crane! you have to stand briefly on one leg and then the other for this, and I have always had a problem with balance, which has worsened radically in recent months.

Well, first I was able MIRACULOUSLY to improve my balance very much, THEN I was able to release self-judgment, and THEN I was able to do the Crane reasonably well, at least for a brief period. As to Monkey, tonight was the first time I was able to do it at all, and suddenly it made sense and was easy and fun. Leaving me still with Deer, in the middle, residual anger to shed.

I am so happy about all of this, and I would like to tell the whole world to get this video and do these exercises. I have NEVER had any medicine so therapeutic in my life. I have been bursting with this, and that’s why I just had to post it. Happy, happy, hopeful of attaining true Qi in one lifetime.” Thank you so much!”

Chi Flows Naturally

On an elemental level, gold is the most highly evolved of all the metals.The vibration of gold is solar, and our soul responds to it. When we physically touch gold, it elevates, stimulates, and purifies us. It’s the ungrounded IDEA of wanting gold that leads to greed and misplaced value. Alchemists have used gold as their marker of purity and incorruptibility for millenia. I use a gold cauldron with a jade lid in my internal alchemy meditations to stabiize the powerful Cosmic Qi forces I gather.

                          —————————————–

Dear Lovers of Life that is Healthy, Wealthy, and Wise,

I invite you to listen in for an hour this TUESDAY 9 PM EDT Eastern Daylight March 11. It’s FREE. Conference Dial-in Number: 530-881-1300. After you connect, then enter PIN or  Access Code: 239-939. Please call a few minutes early as space is limited on the service we’re using – I have a very large elist! If you don’t get in, keep trying.

Myself and invited guest Tony Balistreri will be sharing our insights on Qigong for Abundance & Longevity. Tony has been doing qigong for ten years, and owns a private gold & silver mint.

We want you to start thinking about how to use the gift of living in a universe filled with unlimited Qi can be put to work more effectively in your life.

We know that some of you will feel inspired to come to our special seminar in Asheville on April 12 & 13 on the same topic. It’s at the Biltmore Hilton. There you will directly FEEL that wealth flowing in your Energy Body. (Details below). This course doubles as a Certification Course in Primordial Tai Chi for Enlightened Love.

A few of the amazing things you will learn at this Free Tele-call on Tuesday and in even greater depth at our April 12-13 seminar:

1. What is the Law of Attraction, how does it operate? Is it different than the laws of the Life Force (Qi field), so well described by ancient Taoists?

2. Why people who watched The Secret (bestseller DVD on Law of Attraction) only got a half-truth, and why its likely few of them got rich (except the author!). Why spiritually-inclined people are often materially poor – but unnecessarily so.

3. What is abundance? How does Qi (Chi) relate to wealth? What’s the difference between spiritual and material wealth? How do they relate to Taoist notions of worldly and spiritual destiny?

4. Why it is energetically good for your wealth to own physical gold and silver (apart from economic investment reasons). The historical role of gold and silver in internal and external alchemy.

Sample ten ounce gold bar (.9999 purity) from Tony’s mint – he custom designs the bars with fabulous images. You can custom order your own image.

NOTE: Special discounts on gold and silver coins and bullion are available to our listeners and my readers from Tony’s private mint! Call 888 999 0555 or email info@michaelwinn.qlogictechnologies.com for special discount code. This is a business you want to QUIETLY conduct with someone you can trust. And do it BEFORE the central banksters further destroy the value of your paper wealth.

5. How a sacred movement ritual like Primordial Tai Chi organizes your Energy Body into a coherent (unified) field that makes it easier to attract abundance.

6. Why all Qigong or Tai Chi forms are not alike. They generate different kinds of Qi. Improve your skill at managing your Qi. You can choose to focus on health or wealth or inner peace/wisdom.

7. Why there are often delays in manifesting what we sincerely need. The nature of Resistance, our Shadow Side. How Ego tends to disperse its wealth as a form of self-sabotage.

8. How a coherent personal Energy Body supports having radiant physical health and a happy long life. You can manifest whatever your soul truly needs.

NEW WORKSHOP! Qigong for Wealth & Longevity April 12-13 in Asheville

 

Qigong for Longevity & Abundance

co-taught by Michael Winn and Tony Balistreri

Are YOU ready to cross the bridge and fulfill your wildest, most far out dreams?

Where: Biltmore Park Hilton Hotel, Asheville, N.C. (details below)

When: Sat-Sun, April 12-13 , 2014   9 am to 5 pm

To book: call 888 999 0555 or info@michaelwinn.qlogictechnologies.com

Learn Primordial Tai Chi for Enlightened Love from Michael Winn, with special attention onhow to apply it towards living a longer, healthier, and more abundant life.

After practicing the form for over 15 years, he is ready to share some of his secrets as to how to focus one’s intent before, during, and after the “Wu Ji Gong” Ceremony, literally “Skill at Entering the Unknown”. It is what we bring back from the “unknown” that helps us manifest what we need in the “known”, i.e. our daily lives.

Michael’s two volume eBook will be coming out this year – I promise a msater piece that takes you deep into this Cosmological Qi Gong form. Vol. 1 is being formatted now.

This magical, powerful 800 year old lineage qigong ceremony integrates the grace of Tai Chi, the magic square of feng shui, the dynamic inner coupling of Taoist alchemy, the healing benefits of medical qigong, and the earthly transmission power of China’s original tai chi form!

Learn to gather the directional chi of Heaven and Earth in graceful spirals. This is one of my favorite forms, and only requires 15 min. practice length. If you’ve learned the form from the DVD, this will take you much deeper.

This weekend counts as a CERTIFICATION course in Primordial Tai Chi (if you have been praticing it previous to the workshop, from the DVD or from earlier live training).

For more about the form, and numerous testimonials about how amazing the form is, please see http://www.taichi-enlightenment.com

Michael has 35+ years international teaching experience in medical, martial, & spiritual arts. He was two-term President, National Qi Gong Association; is founder of Healing Tao University, the largest Tao arts summer program in the West, located in the Blue Ridge Mountains near Asheville, North Carolina. He is president of the non-profit Dao Alchemy Research Institute, was nine years Chairman of the Healing Tao Instructor’s Association, and sits on the Council of 9 of the Universal Healing Tao foundation.

Michael has authored ten Tao home study video-audio courses, written dozens of articles, and presented papers at numerous international Daoist scholar conferences. He is co-author or writer with Mantak Chia of 7 books, including the classic Taoist Secrets of Love: Cultivating Male Sexual Energy. His ebooks include Way of the Inner Smile, Five Animals Qi Gong, and Tai Chi: A Path of Self-Love.

 

This qigong training will be integrated with the master-manifesting skills of Tony Balistreri:

          

from Tony Balistreri:

I’ve come to understand by practicing Qi Gong, for over a decade, that it can prime the pump of our healing and self-alignment abilities. Once our “chi” motor is running, so to speak, we can then begin to sense, especially in our hands, what the energy feels like. We can then transmute the energy into a frequency and we’re off and running.

Things have been changing, have you noticed? There’s a new energy available to us. I believe it is new to the planet. We have moved into a time in our human evolution where this physical existence has become more malleable. This is an amazing opportunity for us to truly begin to create how we prefer our lives to be. Sometimes, it may feel as though we are stumbling through this existence, without being able to influence it.

I know you’ve heard this before: “No matter how hard we try, this life cannot be changed from the outside.”

Our preferences must take form from the inside for life to reflect it back to us. Simple as this may sound, it takes a bit of guidance and practice. I will guide you through specific meditations and give you practical tools to help you bolster your power of intention. You’ll gain unlimited, unfailing power to manifest your dreams. Even more, you will come away with a certainty, a clarity, a knowing, and a new confidence in your own abilities.

Michael and I invite you to explore:

Ultimate Spiritual Adventure: China Dream Trip May 16-June 3, 2014

Get the full juicy detailed itinerary & 60 photos from past Dream trips: https://www.michaelwinn.qlogictechnologies.com/cgi-bin/articles.pl?rm=mode2&articleid=140#

              

L: Hanging Temples 1500 years old, near Taoist Sacred Mountain of North, Mt. Heng. R: Mr. Hua is center of Taoist Dream Practice, where many immortals are said to achieved themselves.

Dear Lovers of Spiritual Adventure —

Even if you believe you cannot go to China, please still read this, take the trip vicariously. You’ll get a great education, with 60 photos making it easy. China Dream Trip is for people who believe life is a spiritual adventure. It’s for souls that hunger for the riches of ancient wisdom in faraway lands, and dream of merging that exotic experience into their present moment. I’ve been to more than 100 countries. My philosophy can be summed up:

“Life is not measured by the number of breaths we take,but by the places and moments that take our breath away”. — an Enlightened Traveller

Visit 3 Sacred Tao Mountains on what I promise will be the most amazing trip of your life:

1. Mt. Heng, Taoist Sacred Mountain of the North, and nearby famous 1500 year old Hanging Temples.                                        

2. Mt. Hua, Flower Mountain. Taoist Sacred Mountain of the West – the most spiritually powerful mountain in China. In written records, more Tao immortals achieved themselves on Huashan than anywhere else.  In 2012 I got married atop its sheer 3000 foot granite cliffs. We stay in monasteries or caves used by ancient Tao adepts to dream their Way to immortality. 

3. Lao Tzu’s Ascension Site in the Zhong Nan mountains, near Louguantai, “Place of Highest Contemplation”. This is where Lao Tzu also transmitted the 5000 character Tao Te Ching. It has amazingly high etheric energy – my favorite meditation spot in China.

PLUS  stay in Huashan Monastery or Cave, and see China’s Major Cultural Attractions: Temple of Heaven, Great Wall,  Xian ancient walled capitol, Terra Cotta Warriors, many powerful Taoist temples.

2014 DREAM TRIP HIGHLIGHTS – 15 Good Reasons to Go On This Trip

1. Beijing: Temple of Heaven, 4 days of qigong & tai chi training, Taoist White Cloud Temple, Forbidden City
                           

The Temple of Heaven is a 14th century spaceship for launching Energy Bodies. I plan to build a replica in North Carolina for a retreat center!

2. Great Wall: do Primordial Tai Chi on top to capture its powerful Dragon Qi (chi).
                                       
         

3. Mt. Heng: Taoist Sacred Mountain of the North, breath-taking Hanging Temples, ancient pilgrim town of Datong with 9 Dragons Wall, Pagoda, and Sacred Grottoes with 50,000 Buddhas.

         

4. Xian: ancient walled capitol, Moslem bazaar, 8 Immortals Temple, City Gods Temple

                

5. Terra Cotta Warriors. 2300 year-old army of individually sculpted soldiers covers 5 football fields – China’s most famous site. At the site is a monument to the famous horses of antiquity that inspired the growth of the Chinese empire. Appropriate theme for this Year of the Horse.
                                  

6. Mt. Hua “dream caves”: Flower Mountain’s fabulous peaks, temples, caves where we co-dream with immortal beings

               

L: those tiny dots are people, not ants, hiking up a ridge to West Peak monastery!

7. Louguantai. Lao Tzu’s ascension site, the original Taoist spiritual power center.

                        

               Cauldron and Taoist priest at the Temple of Lao Tzu in Louguantai.

8. Learn Spiritual Tai Chi in China. Anyone can learn and practice the gracefully simple 800 year old Tai Chi for Enlightened Love lineage form, aka  Primordial Qigong. Mantak Chia learned this form on the 2010 Dream Trip, and loved it so much he adopted it into the Healing Tao certification system. Attendees on this trip get certified to teach the form. It’s an amazing form that combines qigong, inner alchemy, feng shui, and tai chi.

Get free DVD in advance, when you put trip deposit down.  This is something that you’ll take home with you, a lifetime treasure. Even as we visit the “must-see” cultural highlights of China, we constantly focus on using Qigong & Tai Chi to develop a profound “earth connection”.

9. The EARTH QI IN CHINA IS DIFFERENT. It has been cultivated for thousands of years already, so it is more refined than other parts of the world. We practice in China’s most powerful sacred  mountains and caves. Taoist adepts have practiced here for thousands of years. Their special Qi will support each of us. When you come home, you will feel super-grounded, ready to create your deepest Life Path.

10. It’s Easy. Climb on some of China’s most powerful sacred mountains. We keep the hiking easy, using cable cars to first get to the spectacular walking areas. Yes, there are a few short stretches of steep stairs – but who cares when the view is what is really taking your breath away? Our group qigong practice will give you incredible energy to handle those stairs and our packed travel schedule.

11. China’s top power spots: feel self-empowered. Our group tai chi practice at Taoist “sacred power” sites is very, very empowering. This form feels different in China, even if you’ve been doing it for years. The Tao Immortals who originally transmitted this form are likely to show up!

12. Shamanic 7-Star Big Dipper Qigong. Training by Michael Winn in the rare and ancient shamanic Seven Star Big Dipper Qigong Ceremony, from Nu Xian Pai, “Path of the Female Immortals” lineage. It aligns with Taoist inner alchemy method of absorbing purple Qi from the Pole Star. This shamanic qigong generates a very special and powerful Qi field — used in ancient times to build a protective field around one’s community or before going into battle. Taoists believe the Pole Star & 7 Big Dipper stars control human destiny. Are you ready to take control of your destiny?

                   

L: Dream Tripper meditating in 8 Immortals Temple. You can feel the vibration of 1500 years of meditation. R: Tripper in deep trance at Lao Tzu’s Ascension Site near Louguantai – amazing etheric energy, my favorite power spot in China.

13. Deep Meditation. Taoist temples allow space for deep tranquil meditation in the midst of 1.5 billion people. We’ll meditate (you choose a method best for you)  in Beijing’s White Cloud Temple and Temple of Heaven;  Xian’s City God Temple; the 8 Immortals Temple (1400 years old!); Huashan’s Jade Spring Temple, White Ruler God Temple, and Goddess of the 9 Heavens Temple, one of many Flower (“Hua”) Mountain temples dedicated to female Immortals. There are many “cave temples” atop Mt. Hua, dedicated to various divine beings – Jade Emperor, Thunder God, Kuan Yin, etc.These temples are all highly charged with deep spiritual energy of the Tao.

14. Stay in a monastery or a cave on Huashan. This has been hugely popular and led to many powerful spiritual experiences. For those who don’t want to “rough it” fasting in a cave, you can sleep and eat in a comfortable monastery and meditate during the day in a special cave, a Kuan Yin Temple that is not open to the public, just our group..

   

L: Statue of Chen Tuan at base of Mt. Hua. He’s The Sleeping Immortal who dreamed for months at a time.  R: Weak Peak of Mt. Hua has a monastery atop it where we stay.

15. Have the spiritual adventure of a lifetime!
Follow your own “Way” in China, on a Journey designed to be a life-changing experience. Do you want to enrich your life and have some “serious spiritual fun” with a fabulous group of souls? If you seek a shot of fresh energy to unfold your highest destiny, this is the trip for you.

April 19-20 Awaken 8 Psychic Channels: Macro-Orbit + Holland in March

 

 
• April 19 – 20, 2014  (Sat/Sun) at Asheville Training Center.

bagua image from dreamtime.com

Awaken Your 8 Psychic Channels: FUSION of FIVE ELEMENTS 2 & 3.

Open the Macro-Cosmic Orbit & Eight Extraordinary Vessels

Secrets of growing a powerful Energy Body
Psychic alchemy: open 8 core channels
 
• Supercharge spine in spirals of golden light
• Open thrusting, belt, arm & leg channels
• Heal chronic illness & deep pre-natal trauma
• 8 Extraordinary Vessels Qigong (on DVD)
• Pangu Mystical Qigong (on DVD)
 
Read SAMPLE TRANSCRIPT from Fusion 2/3 course lecture:
https://www.michaelwinn.qlogictechnologies.com/fusion2.html#faeb

Open the Macro-Cosmic Orbit by linking chi flow in the Eight Extraordinary (“psychic”) channels. These channels link your pre-natal and post-natal energy bodies, i.e. the deep structure of how you birth yourself each flowing moment. Source needs a pathway to flow into the physical body, and this is the pathway.

Learn to purify your aura & regulate your Energy Body with belt & thrusting channels. Give to and Receive chi from the environment with Positive & Negative Arm & Leg channels.

The 8 Extra Vessels connect the inner and outer chi field, and allow you to “dance” between your inner and outer life. The Wudang Mountain version of the macro-cosmic orbit will also be taught as the most powerful internal method I’ve found for integrating the 8  Extraordinary Vessels into a continuous flowing circuit.

The macro-orbit is the foundation for opening chi flow to 8 Original Forces of Universe (I Ching trigram-tones). Powerful “8 Extraordinary Vessels” qigong form makes this practice simple to remember. It heals deep psychic imbalances not reached by acupuncture. Many mysterious and chronic illnesses can be healed at this 8 Extra Vessels level, much faster than using ordinary 12 meridian acupuncture or herbs.

Another new practice taught is my recently developed “9 Spirals of the Energy Body” in the four directions to integrate the Five Vital Organ Spirits (Shen)  with the Five Directional Dragons. This practice connects the internal flow of your macro-cosmic orbit out to the edge of the universe – and back! A wonderfully empowering and healing journey.

This course lays a strong foundation for Healing Love and Water & Fire (Kan & Li) Alchemy.

        The 9 Major Benefits of Fusion of the Five Elements 2 & 3:

 

  1. Build a more powerful Energy Body by making conscious the deep energetic structure of your body-mind. You become far more powerful energetically in all spheres of your life. Everyone needs more energy; few understand where to find it and how to keep it balanced. Fusion 2/3 offers a template for a dynamic, flexible, grounded, and continuously flowing Energy Body.
  2. Activate the relationship between your 5 body-spirits and the 8 extraordinary vessels. Fusion 1 develops the pearl as the integration and purification of ego consciousness. Fusion 2/3 moves the pearl through the 8 channels. These 8 channels are the deep pathways the 5 inner “body spirits” of our heart-mind (“xin”) use to energetically manage our biology, our psychology, and our spirituality. Cosmologically, this is equivalent to hard wiring 5-phase and 8-trigram/8-cosmic force theory into one.
  3. Open chi flow internally in the Macro-cosmic Orbit. The Micro-cosmic orbit taught in Qigong Fundamentals 2 balances internal yin-yang chi flow. The Macro orbit adds in the arm and leg channels, which balances the chi flow between the environment and our body. It functionally integrates the chi flow between our inner self and our outer self/world. The macro orbit creates a wonderful feeling of deeper harmony with all that is around us. This Fusion 3 practice is made simple and easy-to-embody by use of the unique 8 Extraordinary Vessels Qigong form, which I custom-developed from years of practice.
  4. Gain a powerful tool for self-healing, especially chronic illness and “mystery illnesses” that don’t respond to other treatments. Since the healing with the 8 Extraordinary Vessels occurs at a deeper level, it dissolves chronic diseases that are hard to cure, and stubborn mental-emotional patterns that do not respond to standard medical or psychological techniques.
  5. 5.Learn to tap into the most effective secrets of Classical Chinese Medicine (CCM). TCM (“Traditional Chinese Medicine”, invented about 50 years ago) does not use the 8 extraordinary vessels. It’s because the 8 Extraordinary Vessels are deep meridians, mostly below the skin level, thus not easily accessible to acupuncture. These 8 deep ‘reservoirs and canals” feed the 12 superficial (vital organ) meridians. If the 8 deep channels are balanced, all 12 of the regular channels will automatically self-balance.

    Private studies show that 8 Extra treatments work faster and have a higher success rate of healing than regular 12-meridian acupuncture. 8 extra acupuncture treatments are slowly becoming known in the west, using ion-pumping cords and master-coupling points where the channels begin and start. But these channels are much more powerful when opened internally and in conjunction with pearl of inner will refined in Fusion 1.

  6. 6.Grow deep wisdom with “psychic alchemy”. Fusion teaches you to become a “Living I Ching” (Book of Unchanging Changes, 3000 year old classic that is foundation of Taoism). Learn the connection between the 8 deep core channels in your body and the 8 trigrams of the I Ching as symbolic system for mediating the 8 cosmic forces that hold form in place and dictate all patterns of change.

    This pattern of “8” is not just some Chinese myth – it is found in biological cell division, in DNA structure, and in sacred geometry of the 8 points of the cube/earth element. The 8 trigrams of the I Ching are used for divination. When you activate 8 deep channels awareness in the body, you become a highly intuitive or psychic person. You begin to spontaneously receive more information from the larger chi field of the environment.

  7. Supercharge the spinal cord, its physical nerve plexus and its subtle energy wiring with the Fusion 2 method of wrapping the spine with golden light (chi) of your inner pearl. This intense practice is like changing your body’s internal communication system from slow dialup to high speed internet.
  8. 8.Learn numerous practical ways to interface your physical body and your Energy Body. The two most important are using the belt channels for grounding and psychic protection, and activating the left, right, and center thrusting channels to clear internal blockages and extend your awareness deep into earth or high into heaven. The pearl can be extended like an antenna above the head or below the ground to receive cosmic chi frequencies without static. When core channels flow in continuous yin-yang circuits, they form an energetic torus (donut shaped aura) that is self-recharging.

    The purified chi of your pearl can clean your aura and spine if used to “slice” through energy blockages. Pearl is also used to rejuvenate your senses (especially helpful for eyes of computer users) with internal figure-8 spiraling techniques.

  9. Open pathways of communication between your Original Spirit, pre-natal self and your post-natal (physical) self. The pearl and the 8 Extra Vessels are like half-way meditators between your physical body and your formless inner self. Thus Fusion internal technology can be used to heal trauma that occurred in your mother’s womb. It facilitates downloading whatever our body-mind needs from the infinite, formless sea of chi within. Every human being was born from this dark ocean of potential energy. But more important is to realize we all carry that ocean of chi inside of us, and learn how to use it.

Pre-req: Fusion 1, live or by homestudy. Learning the energy channel work of Fusion 2/3 without doing the emotional body/inner pearl work of Fusion 1 is also possible, but not optimal. Email me first.

Dear Lovers of Life that is Healthy, Wealthy, and Wise,

A lot of folks emailed to say they could not make the Tuesday eve. call.

Not to worry – here is the link for the mp3 audio. It will play instantly on a smart phone and it will play or download on a computer:

http://d2pqgm1h2c8e5p.cloudfront.net/Qi_Gong_Longevity_&_Abundance.mp3

This is a one hour talk by Tony Balistreri and myself about how Qigong can attract wealth. We didn’t actually have time to get much into the longevity part, but will cover that in depth at the seminar in Asheville.

I’ve gotten a slew of emails telling me how powerful and informative the Tuesday call was, so I hope you’ll find it worth your while to download and listen to at your leisure.

One focus of the talk is about defining exactly what qualifies as “abundance” or “wealth”. In my decades long exploration of Taoist cultivation, the simplest answer is: Wealth is whatever helps us complete our Highest Destiny, both worldly destiny and spiritual destiny. It’s not money, or houses or fancy cars. It is about what energetically really feeds you, balances you, and nourishes your inner soul.

The Primordial Tai Chi for Enlightened Love form I’m teaching in Asheville zeros in on the crossing point between the horizontal axis of our worldly destiny and the vertical axis of our spiritual destiny. I haven’t found another qigong form that matches it in this respect.

I’m also including a link here to a video taken immediately after the last qigong workshop I taught with Tony in November 2013 on the Qigong Fundamentals. I think it will give you the flavor of how powerfully the experience of Qi can change peoples lives, and change it quickly.

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=X_wnsHz5VQU&feature=youtu.be

Finally, I want to make it clear that the workshop Tony and I are hosting in Asheville on April 12 & 13 is open to all levels of practitioners, including beginners. This form is very simple and graceful, super easy to learn (unlike complicated martial tai chi styles). Everyone will draw from it what they are able to absorb.

Tony, who has organized the space at the Biltmore Park Hilton, has also graciously offered to lower the price for my newsletter readers (including any of his students who are already on my list). I told him my students are spoiled by the low prices I charge for workshops.

The full weekend was originally priced at $400. Tony has agreed to reduce it to $199. for my readers, on a first-come basis until it fills up. So please do not delay. Tony motive? He wants to get to meet folks from my side of the qigong fence.

All you have to do is call 888 999 0555 or email my office manager Jan Gillespie at  <healingtaousa@bellsouth.net> and use the code phrase “Chi Flow Naturally” to get the discount.

The full details of discount hotel rooms at the Biltmore, etc. are below.

NEW WORKSHOP! Qigong for Wealth & Longevity April 12-13 in Asheville

 

Qigong for Longevity & Abundance

co-taught by Michael Winn and Tony Balistreri

Are YOU ready to cross the bridge and fulfill your wildest, most far out dreams?

Where: Biltmore Park Hilton Hotel, Asheville, N.C. (details below)

When: Sat-Sun, April 12-13 , 2014   9 am to 5 pm

To book: call 888 999 0555 or info@michaelwinn.qlogictechnologies.com

Cost: Advertised full price is $400. To readers of my newsletter, a 50% discount applies: $199. When you call in or emaili to book, just say “Chi Flows Naturally” as the booking code.

Learn Primordial Tai Chi for Enlightened Love from Michael Winn, with special attention onhow to apply it towards living a longer, healthier, and more abundant life.

After practicing the form for over 15 years, he is ready to share some of his secrets as to how to focus one’s intent before, during, and after the “Wu Ji Gong” Ceremony, literally “Skill at Entering the Unknown”. It is what we bring back from the “unknown” that helps us manifest what we need in the “known”, i.e. our daily lives.

Michael’s two volume eBook will be coming out this year – I promise a msater piece that takes you deep into this Cosmological Qi Gong form. Vol. 1 is being formatted now.

This magical, powerful 800 year old lineage qigong ceremony integrates the grace of Tai Chi, the magic square of feng shui, the dynamic inner coupling of Taoist alchemy, the healing benefits of medical qigong, and the earthly transmission power of China’s original tai chi form!

Learn to gather the directional chi of Heaven and Earth in graceful spirals. This is one of my favorite forms, and only requires 15 min. practice length. If you’ve learned the form from the DVD, this will take you much deeper.

This weekend counts as a CERTIFICATION course in Primordial Tai Chi (if you have been praticing it previous to the workshop, from the DVD or from earlier live training).

For more about the form, and numerous testimonials about how amazing the form is, please see http://www.taichi-enlightenment.com

Michael has 35+ years international teaching experience in medical, martial, & spiritual arts. He was two-term President, National Qi Gong Association; is founder of Healing Tao University, the largest Tao arts summer program in the West, located in the Blue Ridge Mountains near Asheville, North Carolina. He is president of the non-profit Dao Alchemy Research Institute, was nine years Chairman of the Healing Tao Instructor’s Association, and sits on the Council of 9 of the Universal Healing Tao foundation.

Michael has authored ten Tao home study video-audio courses, written dozens of articles, and presented papers at numerous international Daoist scholar conferences. He is co-author or writer with Mantak Chia of 7 books, including the classic Taoist Secrets of Love: Cultivating Male Sexual Energy. His ebooks include Way of the Inner Smile, Five Animals Qi Gong, and Tai Chi: A Path of Self-Love.

 

This qigong training will be integrated with the master-manifesting skills of Tony Balistreri:

          

from Tony Balistreri:

I’ve come to understand by practicing Qi Gong, for over a decade, that it can prime the pump of our healing and self-alignment abilities. Once our “chi” motor is running, so to speak, we can then begin to sense, especially in our hands, what the energy feels like. We can then transmute the energy into a frequency and we’re off and running.

Things have been changing, have you noticed? There’s a new energy available to us. I believe it is new to the planet. We have moved into a time in our human evolution where this physical existence has become more malleable. This is an amazing opportunity for us to truly begin to create how we prefer our lives to be. Sometimes, it may feel as though we are stumbling through this existence, without being able to influence it.

I know you’ve heard this before: “No matter how hard we try, this life cannot be changed from the outside.”

Our preferences must take form from the inside for life to reflect it back to us. Simple as this may sound, it takes a bit of guidance and practice. I will guide you through specific meditations and give you practical tools to help you bolster your power of intention. You’ll gain unlimited, unfailing power to manifest your dreams. Even more, you will come away with a certainty, a clarity, a knowing, and a new confidence in your own abilities.

Michael and I invite you to explore:

Read SAMPLE TRANSCRIPT from Fusion 2/3 course lecture:
https://www.michaelwinn.qlogictechnologies.com/fusion2.html#faeb

Open the Macro-Cosmic Orbit by linking chi flow in the Eight Extraordinary (“psychic”) channels. These channels link your pre-natal and post-natal energy bodies, i.e. the deep structure of how you birth yourself each flowing moment. Source needs a pathway to flow into the physical body, and this is the pathway.

Learn to purify your aura & regulate your Energy Body with belt & thrusting channels. Give to and Receive chi from the environment with Positive & Negative Arm & Leg channels.

The 8 Extra Vessels connect the inner and outer chi field, and allow you to “dance” between your inner and outer life. The Wudang Mountain version of the macro-cosmic orbit will also be taught as the most powerful internal method I’ve found for integrating the 8  Extraordinary Vessels into a continuous flowing circuit.

The macro-orbit is the foundation for opening chi flow to 8 Original Forces of Universe (I Ching trigram-tones). Powerful “8 Extraordinary Vessels” qigong form makes this practice simple to remember. It heals deep psychic imbalances not reached by acupuncture. Many mysterious and chronic illnesses can be healed at this 8 Extra Vessels level, much faster than using ordinary 12 meridian acupuncture or herbs.

Another new practice taught is my recently developed “9 Spirals of the Energy Body” in the four directions to integrate the Five Vital Organ Spirits (Shen)  with the Five Directional Dragons. This practice connects the internal flow of your macro-cosmic orbit out to the edge of the universe – and back! A wonderfully empowering and healing journey.

This course lays a strong foundation for Healing Love and Water & Fire (Kan & Li) Alchemy.

        The 9 Major Benefits of Fusion of the Five Elements 2 & 3:

 

  1. Build a more powerful Energy Body by making conscious the deep energetic structure of your body-mind. You become far more powerful energetically in all spheres of your life. Everyone needs more energy; few understand where to find it and how to keep it balanced. Fusion 2/3 offers a template for a dynamic, flexible, grounded, and continuously flowing Energy Body.
  2. Activate the relationship between your 5 body-spirits and the 8 extraordinary vessels. Fusion 1 develops the pearl as the integration and purification of ego consciousness. Fusion 2/3 moves the pearl through the 8 channels. These 8 channels are the deep pathways the 5 inner “body spirits” of our heart-mind (“xin”) use to energetically manage our biology, our psychology, and our spirituality. Cosmologically, this is equivalent to hard wiring 5-phase and 8-trigram/8-cosmic force theory into one.
  3. Open chi flow internally in the Macro-cosmic Orbit. The Micro-cosmic orbit taught in Qigong Fundamentals 2 balances internal yin-yang chi flow. The Macro orbit adds in the arm and leg channels, which balances the chi flow between the environment and our body. It functionally integrates the chi flow between our inner self and our outer self/world. The macro orbit creates a wonderful feeling of deeper harmony with all that is around us. This Fusion 3 practice is made simple and easy-to-embody by use of the unique 8 Extraordinary Vessels Qigong form, which I custom-developed from years of practice.
  4. Gain a powerful tool for self-healing, especially chronic illness and “mystery illnesses” that don’t respond to other treatments. Since the healing with the 8 Extraordinary Vessels occurs at a deeper level, it dissolves chronic diseases that are hard to cure, and stubborn mental-emotional patterns that do not respond to standard medical or psychological techniques.
  5. 5.Learn to tap into the most effective secrets of Classical Chinese Medicine (CCM). TCM (“Traditional Chinese Medicine”, invented about 50 years ago) does not use the 8 extraordinary vessels. It’s because the 8 Extraordinary Vessels are deep meridians, mostly below the skin level, thus not easily accessible to acupuncture. These 8 deep ‘reservoirs and canals” feed the 12 superficial (vital organ) meridians. If the 8 deep channels are balanced, all 12 of the regular channels will automatically self-balance.

    Private studies show that 8 Extra treatments work faster and have a higher success rate of healing than regular 12-meridian acupuncture. 8 extra acupuncture treatments are slowly becoming known in the west, using ion-pumping cords and master-coupling points where the channels begin and start. But these channels are much more powerful when opened internally and in conjunction with pearl of inner will refined in Fusion 1.

  6. 6.Grow deep wisdom with “psychic alchemy”. Fusion teaches you to become a “Living I Ching” (Book of Unchanging Changes, 3000 year old classic that is foundation of Taoism). Learn the connection between the 8 deep core channels in your body and the 8 trigrams of the I Ching as symbolic system for mediating the 8 cosmic forces that hold form in place and dictate all patterns of change.

    This pattern of “8” is not just some Chinese myth – it is found in biological cell division, in DNA structure, and in sacred geometry of the 8 points of the cube/earth element. The 8 trigrams of the I Ching are used for divination. When you activate 8 deep channels awareness in the body, you become a highly intuitive or psychic person. You begin to spontaneously receive more information from the larger chi field of the environment.

  7. Supercharge the spinal cord, its physical nerve plexus and its subtle energy wiring with the Fusion 2 method of wrapping the spine with golden light (chi) of your inner pearl. This intense practice is like changing your body’s internal communication system from slow dialup to high speed internet.
  8. 8.Learn numerous practical ways to interface your physical body and your Energy Body. The two most important are using the belt channels for grounding and psychic protection, and activating the left, right, and center thrusting channels to clear internal blockages and extend your awareness deep into earth or high into heaven. The pearl can be extended like an antenna above the head or below the ground to receive cosmic chi frequencies without static. When core channels flow in continuous yin-yang circuits, they form an energetic torus (donut shaped aura) that is self-recharging.

    The purified chi of your pearl can clean your aura and spine if used to “slice” through energy blockages. Pearl is also used to rejuvenate your senses (especially helpful for eyes of computer users) with internal figure-8 spiraling techniques.

  9. Open pathways of communication between your Original Spirit, pre-natal self and your post-natal (physical) self. The pearl and the 8 Extra Vessels are like half-way meditators between your physical body and your formless inner self. Thus Fusion internal technology can be used to heal trauma that occurred in your mother’s womb. It facilitates downloading whatever our body-mind needs from the infinite, formless sea of chi within. Every human being was born from this dark ocean of potential energy. But more important is to realize we all carry that ocean of chi inside of us, and learn how to use it.

Pre-req: Fusion 1, live or by homestudy. Learning the energy channel work of Fusion 2/3 without doing the emotional body/inner pearl work of Fusion 1 is also possible, but not optimal. Email me first.

Highest Destiny: How to Achieve it?

 

Climbing impossibly difficult mountains is a physical metaphor for our personality’s quest to re-capture the original spiritual heights of our soul‘s vibration when it first emerged from Source. It’s why my China Dream Trips focus on Taoist Sacred Mountains – the traditional refuge of Taoists seeking the heights of spiritual immortality.

But the keys to our Highest Worldly Destiny (ming) lies right inside us. Our highest Worldly Destiny will mirror the accomplishment of our inner Spiritual Destiny (xing). OUR HUMAN JOB IS TO LINK THE TWO DESTINIES, WORLDLY AND SPIRITUAL. This is called the Marriage of Heaven and Earth within a Human. Immortality is the resurrection of our Body and Soul in the HERE (space) and NOW (time).

                          —————————————–

Dear Lovers of Achieving Highest Destiny,

   I’ve counseled thousands of students during my decades as a spiritual teacher. The Number One Question, and main cause of confusion? It’s this: “What is the purpose or meaning of my life?”. Easy question to ask, hard to answer. Nothing else comes even close to causing the deep anguish and confusion that this question creates.

You can have huge money and great sexual love, but if this question bugs you, and Death is pointing it nagging finger at you – nothing worldly satisfies. The value or meaning to a lifetime obviously must come from within. I can only offer tools to assist that process of unfolding a life’s meaning, not give answers.

The question is being asked by the Personality, aka the “body-mind”, the “ego”, or the “lesser  self”. Some paths suggest you stop asking the question by getting rid of the local self, pretend it doesn’t exist. Other paths try to jump you somewhere else, to a Higher Self. I find serious limitations in both approaches. If you are asking the question, it is indicative that the Personality is feeling separated from the Soul. The Souil is the invisible entity that creates the personality and body and holds the keys to its highest Destiny, both worldly and spiritual. Asking the question gets us on a Path.

It’s not that the invisible Soul “knows” the answer to the question – strangely, it does NOT know it. But at least the Soul knows that the answer – the meaning to THIS life – has to be co-created by the Personality together with the Soul. People who believe their Higher Self is going to solve all their problems are, in my humble opinion, delusional and basically ungrounded. No change will happen in our worldly life unless the Personalitiy ALIGNS with the wisdom and higher vibration of the Soul, and allows it to download, fully aware, into this body and into this physical world. The personality and body will always be present as the interface between Soul and World.

There are other levels beyond Soul, but that’s beyond the scope of this essay. Talk about the Oversoul and the Source are just hot air if you cannot even cross the first bridge between Personality and Soul.

Achieving our Highest Destiny is a team effort. It requires the cooperation of all 12 of our body-mind’s organ and bowel spirits working together with the soul. In Taoist terminology, this is the “heart-mind” (xin) integrating with the “inner heart” (ling). It’s not that one takes over the other and saves the day.

It’s more that the Personality wakes up and realizes that to get the rejuvenating effects of Qi flowing in from Source, it first requires that the Personality consciously align with and openly invite the Soul to help ease life’s struggle. That will speed the achievement of our Highest Worldly Destiny filled with abundance, love, creativity, travel, children, social change – whatever we dream up.

What exactly is the Soul? It is a very poorly defined religious term in the West. In Taoist inner alchemy, it is more specific –  the functional layers of our Energy Body – sexual, emotional, mental, and spiritual. The ancient Taoist mapped it out rather thoroughly, with numerous channels and organ polarities within our energy field.

It’s totallly normal for a human being to come in with an Energy Body that is malformed and under-developed. That is what is lurking beneath the innocent exterior of those cute infants. We arrive confused and imbalanced by design. The imbalances stimulate our creativity. I’ve written about this before – a certain amount of suffering is a good thing, it causes us to seek Joy.

The imbalances and pain in our life motivate us to CHANGE, which is what the Tao is about – the flow of unending, creative change. Whatever creative process we choose to achieve the integration of Personality and Soul will define the meaning of our life.

That’s where method comes into play. If you want to climb to the top of a high mountain, i.e. achieve a High Destiny, it helps to have five things:

1) a map of the terrain ahead.

2) advice from someone who climbed the mountain, who can act as a guide to the most direct (effortless) route they found. How to avoid the pitfalls, how to activate your own “spiritual GPS” system.

3) a good pair of hiking boots, proper clothing to protect against the elemetns, good nourishment (grounding methods and superfoods like Chinese herbs).

4) proper training (breath and movement qigong) to get your body-mind in shape for the rigorous journey – a.k.a. Our Life.

5) Meditation methods that offer “scalable” skills, i.e. that work in different dimensions of life, physical to formless realms. Meditation skills that are more than just escapist ‘stress relief” in the physical plane. That’s why I love internal alchemy – it’s designed to find the balance point between spirit and matter-body, to “eat” the creative tension and stress at every level of consciousness. That is why we have nine alchemy formulas, a map of the multi-dimensional path. (see: https://www.michaelwinn.qlogictechnologies.com/one_clouds_nine_tao_alchemy_formulas.html)

                             
It takes work to get to the top of any mountain. Effortlessness (wu wei) is a skill that Taoists cultivate, but it arises out of skilled effort. Wu Wei is not for the lazy.

I personally am committed to helping everyone climb to the top of whatever mountain in life they choose. I know the Tao has bestowed on each of us special gifts, in China called our “de”, or “spiritual power”. We each have to figure out what those gifts are and how to best use them.

I tried many different paths, and climbed many different mountains, each one higher than the last, over a seemingly endless series of ever steeper hills (sigh!). To read my bio that see: https://www.michaelwinn.qlogictechnologies.com/winn_iswho.html and scroll down to “The Long Story”.

I’ve found that the combination of qigong and Taoist inner alchemy meditation was the fastest and easiest Way to re-wire the pathway between my soul and my body-mind’s 12 vital organ spirits.

Certainly other paths work, I’m just sharing that I found this set of Tao methods to be the easiest and the most powerful and most grounded in the body. That is why I call it “whole body enlightenment”, as opposed to “head enlightenment”. It works on both worldly and spiritual destiny at the same time.

                        Is It Possible to Get Lost on a Path?

This Tao path is free from dogma and power-controlling teachers or priests. YOU receive the method, you apply it to YOUR  life, you unfold YOUR highest destiny, not somebody else’s destiny or some religion’s vision of what will save you. Religions exist largely because most people are too lazy to do their own spiritual work — it’s easier to just plug into some religious program. That is for the masses. But we are each individuals, and at some point the “group shoe” doesn’t fit our destiny.

To learn the map of your body-mind and the deep energetic pathways of your soul requires training. Otherwise, you can waste a lot of time stumbling around in the dark at the base of the mountain.  Or just hanging out, telling yourself comforting lies: “there is no mountain, there is nothing to be done, there is no gift from heaven, there is No Self — so why bother?”.

The result? There is no achievement of one’s Highest Destiny. There’s just an “accidental destiny” of the Personality. The soul patiently watches your body slowly age and your life’s gifts squandered – it cannot override the Personality’s Free Will, it’s major gift from the Soul. Oh well, sighs the Soul, the Oversouls can print out new body-minds and try again. No blame. But No Success, either.

So here I am, reminding you of the incredible opportunities you have to learn Tao methods that will assist you in creating your Highest Destiny. That’s the only reason I keep teaching – I want YOU to have that pleasure, and I know it will improve my world if you do cultivate yourself.

This is the Year of the Yang Wood Green Horse, a perfect time to get off our collective lazy ass and ride somewhere new – anywhere will do. If you missed that newsletter, get Horse Year details here: https://www.michaelwinn.qlogictechnologies.com/cgi-bin/articles.pl?rm=mode2&articleid=177

I hope some of you will review the wonderful opportunities outlined in this newsletter, take a seminar, go to a fabulous summer retreat in the Blue Ridge Mountains of North Carolina, or take the plunge and hop on a plane to a life-changing adventure in China.

I look forward to relaxing and sipping tea with you at the top of some mountain with gorgeous views and a mutual and deep sense of completion.

Blessings on your Creative and Loving Way,

Michael

After practicing Primordial Tai Chi for over 15 years, I am ready to share some of my secrets as to how to focus one’s intent before, during, and after the “Wu Ji Gong” Ceremony. It’s Chinese name literally means “Skill at Entering the Unknown”. It is what we bring back from the “unknown” that helps us manifest what we need in the “known”, i.e. our daily lives.

My two volume eBook will be coming out this year – I promise a master piece that takes you deep into this Cosmological Qi Gong form. Vol. 1 is being formatted now, delayed while we arrange ebook download capability on my new site. But as good as I feel this book is, it is not a replacement for live instruction and transmission.

This magical, powerful 800 year old lineage qigong ceremony integrates the grace of Tai Chi, the magic square of feng shui, the dynamic inner coupling of Taoist alchemy, the healing benefits of medical qigong, and the earthly transmission power of China’s original tai chi form!

Learn to gather the directional chi of Heaven and Earth in graceful spirals. This is one of my favorite forms, and only requires 15 min. practice length. If you’ve learned the form from the DVD, this will take you much deeper.

This weekend counts as a CERTIFICATION course in Primordial Tai Chi (if you have been praticing it previous to the workshop, from the DVD or from earlier live training).

For more about the form, and numerous testimonials about how amazing the form is, please see http://www.taichi-enlightenment.com

Michael Winn has 35+ years international teaching experience in medical, martial, & spiritual arts. He was two-term President, National Qi Gong Association; is founder of Healing Tao University, the largest Tao arts summer program in the West, located in the Blue Ridge Mountains near Asheville, North Carolina. He is president of the non-profit Dao Alchemy Research Institute, was nine years Chairman of the Healing Tao Instructor’s Association, and was a founder of the Council of 9 of the Universal Healing Tao foundation.

Michael has authored ten Tao home study video-audio courses, written dozens of articles, and presented papers at numerous international Daoist scholar conferences. He is co-author or writer with Mantak Chia of 7 books, including the classic Taoist Secrets of Love: Cultivating Male Sexual Energy. His ebooks include Way of the Inner Smile, Five Animals Qi Gong, and forthcoming Primordial Tai Chi: Way of Enlightened Love.

Myself and invited guest Tony Balistreri will be sharing our insights on how to use this Qigong for Abundance & Longevity. Tony has been doing qigong for ten years, and owns a private gold & silver mint.

We want you to start thinking about how to use the gift of living in a universe filled with unlimited Qi can be put to work more effectively in your life.

We know that some of you will feel inspired to come to our special seminar in Asheville on April 12 & 13 on the same topic. It’s at the Biltmore Hilton. There you will directly FEEL that wealth flowing in your Energy Body. (Details below).

A few of the amazing things you will learn at our April 12-13 seminar:

1. What is the Law of Attraction, how does it operate? Is it different than the laws of the Life Force (Qi field), so well described by ancient Taoists?

2. Why people who watched The Secret (bestseller DVD on Law of Attraction) only got a half-truth, and why its likely few of them got rich (except the author!). Why spiritually-inclined people are often materially poor – but unnecessarily so.

3. What is abundance? How does Qi (Chi) relate to wealth? What’s the difference between spiritual and material wealth? How do they relate to Taoist notions of worldly and spiritual destiny?

4. Why it is energetically good for your wealth to own physical gold and silver (apart from economic investment reasons). The historical role of gold and silver in internal and external alchemy.

5. How a sacred movement ritual like Primordial Tai Chi organizes your Energy Body into a coherent (unified) field that makes it easier to attract abundance.

6. Why all Qigong or Tai Chi forms are not alike. They generate different kinds of Qi. Improve your skill at managing your Qi. You can choose to focus on health or wealth or inner peace/wisdom.

7. Why there are often delays in manifesting what we sincerely need. The nature of Resistance, our Shadow Side. How Ego tends to disperse its wealth as a form of self-sabotage.

8. How a coherent personal Energy Body supports having radiant physical health and a happy long life. You can manifest whatever your soul truly needs.

 

This qigong training will be integrated with the master-manifesting skills of Tony Balistreri:

          

from Tony Balistreri:

I’ve come to understand by practicing Qi Gong, for over a decade, that it can prime the pump of our healing and self-alignment abilities. Once our “chi” motor is running, so to speak, we can then begin to sense, especially in our hands, what the energy feels like. We can then transmute the energy into a frequency and we’re off and running.

Things have been changing, have you noticed? There’s a new energy available to us. I believe it is new to the planet. We have moved into a time in our human evolution where this physical existence has become more malleable. This is an amazing opportunity for us to truly begin to create how we prefer our lives to be. Sometimes, it may feel as though we are stumbling through this existence, without being able to influence it.

I know you’ve heard this before: “No matter how hard we try, this life cannot be changed from the outside.”

Our preferences must take form from the inside for life to reflect it back to us. Simple as this may sound, it takes a bit of guidance and practice. I will guide you through specific meditations and give you practical tools to help you bolster your power of intention. You’ll gain unlimited, unfailing power to manifest your dreams. Even more, you will come away with a certainty, a clarity, a knowing, and a new confidence in your own abilities.

Michael and I invite you to explore:

Read SAMPLE TRANSCRIPT from Fusion 2/3 course lecture:
https://www.michaelwinn.qlogictechnologies.com/fusion2.html#faeb

Open the Macro-Cosmic Orbit by linking chi flow in the Eight Extraordinary (“psychic”) channels. These channels link your pre-natal and post-natal energy bodies, i.e. the deep structure of how you birth yourself each flowing moment. Source needs a pathway to flow into the physical body, and this is the pathway.

Learn to purify your aura & regulate your Energy Body with belt & thrusting channels. Give to and Receive chi from the environment with Positive & Negative Arm & Leg channels.

The 8 Extra Vessels connect the inner and outer chi field, and allow you to “dance” between your inner and outer life. The Wudang Mountain version of the macro-cosmic orbit will also be taught as the most powerful internal method I’ve found for integrating the 8  Extraordinary Vessels into a continuous flowing circuit.

The macro-orbit is the foundation for opening chi flow to 8 Original Forces of Universe (I Ching trigram-tones). Powerful “8 Extraordinary Vessels” qigong form makes this practice simple to remember. It heals deep psychic imbalances not reached by acupuncture. Many mysterious and chronic illnesses can be healed at this 8 Extra Vessels level, much faster than using ordinary 12 meridian acupuncture or herbs.

Another new practice taught is my recently developed “9 Spirals of the Energy Body” in the four directions to integrate the Five Vital Organ Spirits (Shen)  with the Five Directional Dragons. This practice connects the internal flow of your macro-cosmic orbit out to the edge of the universe – and back! A wonderfully empowering and healing journey.

This course lays a strong foundation for Healing Love and Water & Fire (Kan & Li) Alchemy.

        The 9 Major Benefits of Fusion of the Five Elements 2 & 3:

 

  1. Build a more powerful Energy Body by making conscious the deep energetic structure of your body-mind. You become far more powerful energetically in all spheres of your life. Everyone needs more energy; few understand where to find it and how to keep it balanced. Fusion 2/3 offers a template for a dynamic, flexible, grounded, and continuously flowing Energy Body.
  2. Activate the relationship between your 5 body-spirits and the 8 extraordinary vessels. Fusion 1 develops the pearl as the integration and purification of ego consciousness. Fusion 2/3 moves the pearl through the 8 channels. These 8 channels are the deep pathways the 5 inner “body spirits” of our heart-mind (“xin”) use to energetically manage our biology, our psychology, and our spirituality. Cosmologically, this is equivalent to hard wiring 5-phase and 8-trigram/8-cosmic force theory into one.
  3. Open chi flow internally in the Macro-cosmic Orbit. The Micro-cosmic orbit taught in Qigong Fundamentals 2 balances internal yin-yang chi flow. The Macro orbit adds in the arm and leg channels, which balances the chi flow between the environment and our body. It functionally integrates the chi flow between our inner self and our outer self/world. The macro orbit creates a wonderful feeling of deeper harmony with all that is around us. This Fusion 3 practice is made simple and easy-to-embody by use of the unique 8 Extraordinary Vessels Qigong form, which I custom-developed from years of practice.
  4. Gain a powerful tool for self-healing, especially chronic illness and “mystery illnesses” that don’t respond to other treatments. Since the healing with the 8 Extraordinary Vessels occurs at a deeper level, it dissolves chronic diseases that are hard to cure, and stubborn mental-emotional patterns that do not respond to standard medical or psychological techniques.
  5. 5.Learn to tap into the most effective secrets of Classical Chinese Medicine (CCM). TCM (“Traditional Chinese Medicine”, invented about 50 years ago) does not use the 8 extraordinary vessels. It’s because the 8 Extraordinary Vessels are deep meridians, mostly below the skin level, thus not easily accessible to acupuncture. These 8 deep ‘reservoirs and canals” feed the 12 superficial (vital organ) meridians. If the 8 deep channels are balanced, all 12 of the regular channels will automatically self-balance.

    Private studies show that 8 Extra treatments work faster and have a higher success rate of healing than regular 12-meridian acupuncture. 8 extra acupuncture treatments are slowly becoming known in the west, using ion-pumping cords and master-coupling points where the channels begin and start. But these channels are much more powerful when opened internally and in conjunction with pearl of inner will refined in Fusion 1.

  6. 6.Grow deep wisdom with “psychic alchemy”. Fusion teaches you to become a “Living I Ching” (Book of Unchanging Changes, 3000 year old classic that is foundation of Taoism). Learn the connection between the 8 deep core channels in your body and the 8 trigrams of the I Ching as symbolic system for mediating the 8 cosmic forces that hold form in place and dictate all patterns of change.

    This pattern of “8” is not just some Chinese myth – it is found in biological cell division, in DNA structure, and in sacred geometry of the 8 points of the cube/earth element. The 8 trigrams of the I Ching are used for divination. When you activate 8 deep channels awareness in the body, you become a highly intuitive or psychic person. You begin to spontaneously receive more information from the larger chi field of the environment.

  7. Supercharge the spinal cord, its physical nerve plexus and its subtle energy wiring with the Fusion 2 method of wrapping the spine with golden light (chi) of your inner pearl. This intense practice is like changing your body’s internal communication system from slow dialup to high speed internet.
  8. 8.Learn numerous practical ways to interface your physical body and your Energy Body. The two most important are using the belt channels for grounding and psychic protection, and activating the left, right, and center thrusting channels to clear internal blockages and extend your awareness deep into earth or high into heaven. The pearl can be extended like an antenna above the head or below the ground to receive cosmic chi frequencies without static. When core channels flow in continuous yin-yang circuits, they form an energetic torus (donut shaped aura) that is self-recharging.

    The purified chi of your pearl can clean your aura and spine if used to “slice” through energy blockages. Pearl is also used to rejuvenate your senses (especially helpful for eyes of computer users) with internal figure-8 spiraling techniques.

  9. Open pathways of communication between your Original Spirit, pre-natal self and your post-natal (physical) self. The pearl and the 8 Extra Vessels are like half-way meditators between your physical body and your formless inner self. Thus Fusion internal technology can be used to heal trauma that occurred in your mother’s womb. It facilitates downloading whatever our body-mind needs from the infinite, formless sea of chi within. Every human being was born from this dark ocean of potential energy. But more important is to realize we all carry that ocean of chi inside of us, and learn how to use it.

Pre-req: Fusion 1, live or by homestudy. Learning the energy channel work of Fusion 2/3 without doing the emotional body/inner pearl work of Fusion 1 is also possible, but not optimal. Email me first.

Retreat 2c. Qi and Creativity: Michaael Gelb’s Da Vinci Qigong

Retreat tuition is only $495. for entire week! Tax deductible 501c3

Week 2: June 27 –  July 2 (Fri-Wed)

2c. How to Cultivate Creative Qi: Leonardo DaVinci Qigong

Gelb-by-Michael-Mahoney-2011-No3

Michael Gelb, best-selling author of How to Think Like Leonardo Da Vinci; 30 year qigong enthusiast with a new book on How to use Qi to enhance your creativity coming in 2014. Be sure to read the amazing testimonials for Michael at the bottom of this page.

Leonardo da Vinci is the greatest genius in human history, renowned for his unparalleled accomplishments in art and science. Leonardo is also renowned for his exceptional poise, power, and grace of movement. He was a unique conduit for Divine Qi.

Creativity is my passion. I’m especially passionate about helping people develop and express their creativity. It’s my profession, but it’s also my life. Nothing gives me greater pleasure than helping someone realize his or her creative potential. Whether it’s helping an aspiring author to write her first book, guiding a company to develop a more creative culture, or assisting a young friend in discovering his creative purpose, there’s nothing that pleases me more. I do this by teaching tools for creative thinking and by a transmission of creative energy. That’s what I want to do for you in this sretrat.

“What if” questions are classic keys to unleashing creativity, so consider:

• What if there is a source of creative energy that is inexhaustible, easily accessible, and free?

• What if the people we call geniuses, such as Leonardo da Vinci, Hildegard von Bingen, Nikola Tesla, and Marie Curie, had an intuitive understanding of how to connect with this source?

• What if this retreat could teach you to apply that wisdom to raise your baseline of creative energy and insight?

• What if we combined this practical wisdom on accessing creative energy with an exploration of the most powerful methods for understanding and applying the creative process in your life now?

The answers are: There is. They did. It will. And using my special Leonard Da Vinci Qigong, you will discover that you are more creative than you’ve ever imagined!

The international best seller How to Think Like Leonardo da Vinci introduced 7 principles to help you learn to be more creative. More than any other figure in history, Leonardo da Vinci represents the fulfillment of all of our creative potential. He serves as what Jung would call an archetype of human potential. In Da Vinci Qigong you will embody the principles and align with them energetically so that you may bring them to life in a profoundly powerful way.

1. Curiosità -embrace infinite curiosity.

2. Dimostrazione-develop independent thinking.

3. Sensazione– sharpen the senses.

4. Sfumato -embrace ambiguity and change.

5. Arte/Scienza– integrate logic and imagination.

6. Corporalità – balance body, mind, and spirit.

7. Connessione – discover new connections.

                                                   yin-and-yang .gif

A few years ago during an intensive qigong retreat, I realized that it would be possible to help people experience the power of the Da Vinci principles through a series of postures and movements that evoke and magnify this universal wisdom.  I’ve been evolving and refining this practice and it has become much more than the sum of it’s parts.

In this seminar, you will embody the principles and align with them energetically.  You will experience a profound awakening of your creative qi.  I will also share insights and methods from my experience as a teacher of the Alexander Technique, aikido, Wu style tai chi and qigong to help you enliven and enrich your practice.  The seminar is perfect for beginners, masters and everyone in between.

Based on a synthesis of 40 years of research into the creative process, the Alexander Technique, martial arts and Qigong this practice enhances creative energy dramatically. You will learn the seven movements of this form and how to share the form with others.

Seminar Benefits

• Raise your baseline of creative energy.

• Learn the 7 principles of genius and how to apply them in your life now.

• Apply the Alexander Technique to improve all of your Qigong and Tai Chi practice.

• Experience a creative breakthrough!

• Obtain certification to share this unique and powerful form.

PRAISE FOR MICHAEL GELB AS TEACHER AND WRITER

“I love Michael Gelb’s unique perspective on Qi. It’s genius! This great book is a treasure chest of ancient wisdom made accessible for the modern world.  As a teacher of Qigong, Michael’s charisma and creativity make traditional movements feel like exciting discoveries. His classes are engaging, inspiring and fun.” ~ Lorie Dechar, Senior clinical supervisor at the Tri-State College of Acupuncture and author of Five Spirits: Alchemical Acupuncture for Psychological and Spiritual Healing

“Michael Gelb embodies the archetype of the Creative.  Through his immensely popular seminars and writings he transmits state of the art knowledge of the nature of genius, the working of the brain, and the quickening of creative energy. A master of the art of creative thinking, Michael will guide you in an exploration of your mind’s potential that is uniquely entertaining and illuminating. “ ~ Jean Houston, Ph.D. Author of The Possible Human

“Michael Gelb has taught on seminars I’ve organized since 1979. He is the real deal!  An innovator in the field of mindfulness in movement, Michael has an uncanny ability to synthesize and bring to life the essence of Qigong, Aikido, and the Alexander Technique. My students consistently give his classes rave reviews.  It is always an honor to study with him and an opportunity not to be missed.” ~ Michael D. Frederick, Director Alexander Technique Workshops International

Before your seminar, I thought that the world was divided into “creative” people and the rest of us. As a reluctant former engineer and accidental marketing professor, I considered myself firmly in the latter camp – a terminally left-brain-dominated automaton to whom the world of inspired creativity would forever remain a mystery.  You led me to a revelation. For the first time in my life, I realized that I had unique gifts to give, and that my life and work could rise above merely making a living to actually making a difference. Looking back, I mark this as the beginning of my own personal renaissance, a joyful journey of growth and self-discovery. – Professor Raj Sisodia author of Firms of Endearment and Conscious Capitalism

Michael Gelb is a man of infinite energy, bursting creativity and huge enthusiasm for life. He is a model, in short, of everything he celebrates and teaches. — Tony Schwartz author of The Power of Full Engagement

Michael Gelb is an astounding individual whose skills span a surprising and wide array of disciplines.  All journeys of innovation must begin with – and include throughout – the skills and principles that he espouses.

Creativity on Demand is the result of a lifetime devoted to facilitating creativity in people and organizations. Whether your own interest is in cultivating the creative potential of other people or connecting more deeply with your personal talents and possibilities, it offers not only the inspiration, but also the practical guidance to help you make it happen. ~  Sir Ken Robinson, Ph.D. from the Foreword

Michael Gelb has a special gift for making complex, challenging subjects simple and accessible without compromising the essence of the topics he explores.  In previous works he has provided original insight into the genius of DaVinci, Edison and other great minds, revealed the secrets of strategy through the metaphors of martial arts and chess, and taught us how to juggle, enjoy wine and improve our minds as we age. Now, in this, his most compelling work, he demystifies the ancient wisdom of China and shows us how to apply it to bring more verve and creativity to our lives. Brilliant   ~Grandmaster Raymond Keene, OBE, Chess columnist of the Times of London

“Do you want to know how to fill your cup with sparkling, juicy creative energy every day? Then read and rejoice- Creativity On Demand is a unique, practical, transformational resource for all who are passionate about living a great creative life!”  ~SARK Author, Artist, Succulent Wild Woman

“Are you hoping to make creativity a daily practice, but feel that what you’re doing just isn’t working? In his latest book, Michael Gelb shows us how to tap into a creative energy that’s been recognized and cultivated for millennia.  With examples drawn from a rich array of sources, both contemporary and ancient, this book might be the something different you’ve been looking for.”  — Daniel H. Pink, author of  To Sell is Human and Drive

Creativity on Demand is a highly original mixture of inspiration and executive coaching that will help you claim the creativity that is your birthright. Michael J. Gelb has generated an outstanding wellspring for creative thinking and practical problem-solving – you’ll find yourself reading it again and again to discover success and satisfaction in everything you do. And you’ll be thrilled with the results!  ~ Marshall Goldsmith, a Thinkers 50 Top Ten Global Business Thinker and top ranked executive coach.

I really love the way this book is written. It is clear, simple and very meaningful. The teachings are conveyed with remarkable precision and understanding. This work is wonderful! – Master Robert Peng, author of The Master Key

In this unique synthesis of Eastern and Western wisdom, Michael Gelb applies his expertise in the field of creative thinking to make ancient Chinese energy arts more accessible. At the same time, he shows how these ancient arts can help you become more creative.  – Sifu Robert Tangora, author of The Inner Structure of Cloud Hands

“This wonderful book is at once delightful, compelling, practical, funny and informative.  Reading it creates a feeling of excitement and possibility.   Rich with helpful historical references, stories and inspiration, you will also find detailed practical exercises that give you the ‘how’ of living more creatively and embodying your full potential.” ~Wendy Palmer, Aikido Sensei and author of Leadership Embodiment

“Michael Gelb’s ability to inspire creative thinking and esprit de corps is unparalleled.  In this unique and extremely valuable book he explains how he does it, and how you can too.” – Gerry Kirk, former Managing Director of Merck Sharp & Dohme Central America

EIGHT PSYCHIC CHANNELS INNER MEDITATION    July 4 – July 9, 2014

Incudes Orbit, Macrocosmic Orbit, Fusion 2 review & Fusion 3

This meditation is a journey in the Eight Psychic or Extraordinary Channels. These channels are the link between the inner and outer, the prenatal and postnatal and the yin and yang apsects of our life. The energetics of these channels influences the deepest aspects of our life; including Jing and Yuan Qi. And they are the locations where chronic illnesses and emotional patterns collect and are stored. This is a profound deep healing meditation that can free us from old, deep, chronic patterns and conditioning and the blockages they create, opening us to our yuan condition, our natural spirit.

During this retreat we learn about the Eight Extraordinary Channels from Taoist medical, healing and spiritual perspectives. We open the Macro-Cosmic Orbit by linking chi flow in the Eight Extraordinary (“psychic”) channels. These channels link your pre-natal and post-natal energy bodies, i.e. the deep structure of how you birth yourself each flowing moment. Learn to purify your aura & regulate your Energy Body with belt & thrusting channels. Give to and Receive chi from the environment with Positive & Negative Arm & Leg channels.

The 8 Extra Vessels connect the inner and outer chi field, and allow you to “dance” between your inner and outer life. The macro-orbit is the foundation for opening chi flow to 8 Original Forces of Universe (I Ching trigram-tones). It heals deep psychic imbalances not reached by traditional healing methods. Many mysterious and chronic illnesses can be healed at the level, much faster than using acupuncture or herbs.

This course lays a strong foundation for Healing Love and Water & Fire (Kan & Li) Alchemy.

This retreat contains three Qi Gong treasures that work together to cultivate the three treasures of your life: Jing, Qi and Shen or the physical, emotional/mental and spiritual. I hope you will join me exploring these Qi Gong treasures in the magical Blue Ridge mountains of North Carolina.

 

4c.           Tai Chi Qigong #1 Rooting + #2 Fast Fighting Form – Steven Sy  

Week 4: July 11 – 16, 2014

TAI CHI QIGONG 1-2

Tai Chi Qigong Short Yang Form – Slow Rooting and Fast Fighting versions
Taught by Steven Sy

NO PREREQUISITES
No previous Tai Chi background or prior Healing Tao coursework required.  This course is suitable for both complete beginners, as well as advanced practitioners already familiar with the Tai Chi form(s) who are looking to refine their skills.  Individual attention during practice periods will facilitate all skill levels.

Tai Chi.  What is it?  It’s China’s most famous “internal” martial art, even though most people learn it for health rather than fighting. We’ve all seen or heard of older people doing Tai Chi in parks for their health. It has a long history and tradition in China, but now it has become more and more popular here in the United States as well. In fact, it has become so popular that  many “hard” or external style martial arts schools,  senior centers and even local community centers now have Tai Chi classes!

What makes THIS Tai Chi class special?  After all, there are so many different Tai Chi classes around.  You can learn Yang style Tai Chi, Wu style Tai Chi, Chen style Tai Chi, etc. . . . each having a multitude of different forms, and variations on how these forms are done.  In short, there are no shortage of these classes.  You could spend a lifetime, even in just one Tai Chi school, and not run out of things to learn.   HOWEVER, in the Healing Tao, there are only THREE official Tai Chi forms.  Out of the sea of millions of Tai Chi forms, the Healing Tao has selected just three.  IN THIS CLASS, YOU WILL LEARN 2 OF THESE 3.

Why are these 3 forms special?  The reason is this:  these forms are not just Tai Chi, but they are considered Tai Chi Qigong.  The Qigong (aka “chi kung”, pronounced chee-gong) means that we get much deeper into the energetic flow of qi (i.e. lifeforce energy) than what is normally done in “regular Tai Chi”, which is often called Tai Chi Chuan.  The actual differences between what is considered Tai Chi Chuan and Tai Chi Qigong (and what these mean in an academic sense) will be discussed more in our class.   However, the important take-away for now is that these 3 Healing Tao Tai Chi forms (of which you will learn 2 in the class) go beyond basic Tai Chi; they create a deeper profound energetic flow of qi throughout one’s body.  Thus these forms are worthy of special attention.

Moreover, the Tai Chi Qigong forms taught in this retreat are actually easier to learn than the “regular Tai Chi forms” found outside of the Healing Tao.  So, in short, you need to put in less learning time, but yet get deeper results.  Moreover, due to the fact that the learning time is reduced, complete beginners can expect to own a solid practice when they leave this course.

ABOUT TAI CHI QIGONG 1

Tai Chi 1 is a slow-moving, meditative, relaxed, short form.  By doing the Tai Chi 1 form, you will be able to calm your mind, reduce your stress, increase your energy levels, and improve your overall health.  Tai Chi 1 is a very grounded exercise.  We will focus on deepening our connection to the ground, learning to sense how we distribute our weight between our feet, and feeling the stability that we generate.

This serves to increase safety in our everyday life, as slip-and-fall accidents (especially among the elderly) are a common cause of serious injury.  Much of this is caused by improper distribution of weight.  So this creates the benefit of having better balance in our everyday lives.  By learning to move from one rooted position to another, this stability training will also translate to stability with one’s emotions.

In our fast-paced world, with a lot of things calling to us, and many people projecting negative emotions, it is crucial to be able to maintain stability and not have these outside influences take you off-balance.  In short, by deepening our relationship to the ground, we will find more stability in our emotional body as well.  Physically, the simple transfer of weight from one rooted position to another will also serve to strengthen our bones, tendons, and ligaments.  Those concerned with effects of osteoporosis can reverse these effects through regular practice of this Tai Chi form.

As we move from one rooted posture to another, we will do so a relaxed, graceful, and flowing way.  In so doing, it becomes a fluid dance that moves qi throughout the body and makes you feel more alive.  By activating this qi flow, it can create a profound healing . . .on the  physical, emotional, mental, and spiritual levels.  In short, doing this Tai Chi form makes your whole body feel vibrant.

Unlike many other Tai Chi forms, the Tai Chi 1 form spirals both counter-clockwise and clockwise, so it helps to balance both hemispheres of the brain.  Yet, at the same time, the Tai Chi 1 form does not take very long to do.  It is a short, 13-movement form that one can reasonably do in its entirety in only 7-10 minutes!  In our fast-paced lives with little free time, one can easily take a short 10-minute break, do the entire form, and feel rejuvenated immediately.

So one does not need to have a set “practice time” to be able to squeeze the form into your day.  Moreover, in this fashion, one can do the form almost anywhere because it does not up much space. Most Tai Chi Chuan forms move back and forth along a line. This Tai Chi Qigong form moves in a small circle, turning left and right around the central axis point of the circle.  Oftentimes, even a hotel room–or a break room–will have the space you need.

People who have background or interest in the spiritual techniques of the Healing Tao can also explore those aspects within the Tai Chi 1 form itself.   One can connect into the 5-element phases, Yin-yang polarity, the 8 directional forces of the Earth, higher level cosmic and universal forces, you name it!  Some of these aspects will, in fact, be introduced in the course.  In particular, along with teaching the Tai Chi form, we will introduce and/or review some basic sitting meditations of the Healing Tao.  No former Healing Tao background is required.  These sitting meditations will allow us to have ample time for rest and to digest the Tai Chi material.  Moreover, these meditations will provide additional material to take the Tai Chi 1 form even deeper.

ABOUT TAI CHI QIGONG 2
(Note:  Tai Chi 1 is NOT a prerequisite.  Tai Chi 2 is simply a different form.)

Tai Chi 2 is a fast-paced and fun Tai Chi form.  It is very unique.  Most people think of Tai Chi as a very slow-moving exercise.  However, Tai Chi 2 is a rare, little-known, FAST version of Tai Chi.  Not many people are aware of this form, and it is not taught that often here in the US.  It is my pleasure to introduce this form to you.  Note:  Tai Chi 2 only takes 3 minutes to do, so the form is not overly taxing, even for people with weaker constitutions.

Tai Chi 2–since it is one of the few forms that is actually done fast–is one of the few forms in the Healing Tao that really activates the cardiovascular system.  Consequently, it is one of the most effective for improving one’s blood circulation and strengthening one’s blood vessels.  Moreover, blood is the carrier for qi, so by improving one’s blood circulation, the ability to transport qi throughout the body is increased.  This not only energizes the body, but it also increases one’s metabolism.  Any excess body fat will naturally begin to dissolve just through minimal regular practice of this form.

While our focus in this retreat (both for Tai Chi 2 and Tai Chi 1) will be on the healing and spiritual aspects of the practices, both of these Tai Chi forms will serve martial artists as well.  In particular, Tai Chi Qigong 1 contains many of the basic elements of “regular Tai Chi” (which has martial applications).  Some of these will be pointed out to the interested attendee.  For the martial artists, the Tai Chi 2 form will provide an opportunity to see “Tai Chi in action”, as the fast-paced nature of the Tai Chi 2 form mimics the real-time speed of actual Tai Chi combat.  Through the activation of the fast-moving blood flow and its associated transportation of qi, the martial artist will be able to train the technique of “Fa Jin”, which is discharge power, i.e. the ability to explosively emit qi in a defensive application.

In total, I look forward to sharing Tai Chi Qigong 1-2 with you.

Retreats 5b. 9 Palace Bagua, and 5c. Northern Wu Taijiquan

 

Week 5: July 18 – 23, 2014    (Friday dinner & class through Wed. noon lunch)

5b.        9 Palace Bagua Zhang: Martial Art meets Mysticism & Magic    – Frank Allen

Nine Palace Ba Gua Zhang Retreat

 

frank.allen.pose

Frank Allen: 40 years experience shows itself in amazing range of movement and perception.

1.5 minute video on 9 Palace Bagua:

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=udt0pjbedJk

For the first 35 years of my training in Ba Gua Zhang I searched for the point where the different aspects of the art would converge. Then 5 years ago, while training with Grandmaster Liu Jing Ru, in Beijing China he offered myself, my partner, Tina Zhang, and our most senior student in Ba Gua Zhang an opportunity to learn the 9 Palace Practice of B Gua Zhang.

The exoteric aspect of 9 Palace training is the epitome of Ba Gua’s famed multiple opponent defense practice, often illustrated by a practitioner circling around a pattern of 9 poles, but Grandmaster Liu quickly explained that this was only the outer training and on the inside 9 Palace practice presented the foundations of Chinese mysticism. The study of the phenomenon of change as presented by the classic Yi Jing enters into the study and as the basic stepping pattern is of the ancient star pattern walks of the Chinese shamans and Daoist magicians, the practice is ultimately a profound magic ritual.

Traditionally 9 Palace Practice has been taught Only from Master to senior inner door students and disciples in one on one training. This summer I will offer 9 Palace Practice training in a public format for the first time at Healing Tao USA Retreats. Serious practitioners of Ba Gua Zhang and Chinese mysticism should not miss this opportunity…..

LAO SHI FRANK ALLEN’S BIOGRAPHY

Frank Allen has studied and practiced the Internal Energy Arts since 1973. He was an early student of Master B. P. Chan from whom he learned the Internal Martial Arts of Ba Gua Zhang, Hsing I Chuan and Tai Chi Chuan as well as the healing art of Chi Kung. Frank began to study with Master B. K. Frantzis in 1976 and over the next two and a half decades studied Frantzis’ Internal Martial Arts, Nei Gong and Taoist Meditation. He has also studied the Internal Martial Arts with Master Jiang Jian Yee and with Master Zhang Sheng Li. On his current journeys to Beijing Frank studies Cheng style bagua zhang with Grandmaster Liu Jing Ru as well as Classical Northern Wu style taijiquan with Grandmaster Li Bing Ci.

Since 1984 Allen has been the disciple of Western Boxing Master, Verne “The Bulldog” Williams. Frank was the first person ever certified to teach the Beijing Lineage Ba Gua of B.K. Frantzis and has been certified to teach Ba Gua and Tai Chi by Jiang Jian Yee. He is also certified by Master Zhang Sheng Li to teach the Dragon Shape Ba Gua Zhang.

In 1979 Allen founded The Wu Tang Physical Culture Association of New York City which has branches in Southern California, Middletown New York and Frankfurt Germany. Over the years the Wu Tang P.C.A. has produced many tournament champions and a core of competent instructors.

Frank Allen has authored over thirty articles for the major energy arts related periodicals in the U.S.A. as well as a self published philosophical manuscript entitled “Celtic Taoism”. Frank and his partner Tina Zhang have co-authored the North Atlantic Publiciations book, “Classical Northern Wu Style Tai Ji Quan: The Fighting Art of the Mdanurian Guard”. He and the Wu Tang P.C.A. video production crew have produced eleven instructional videos covering the subjects of Ba Gua, Tai Chi, Taoist Philosophy & Meditation and The Fighting for Health System.

Allen teaches workshops around the U.S.A. and in Europe as well as his regular classes in New York City. He has been the Internal Martial Arts Instructor of Healing Tao U.S.A.

5c.      Northern Wu Taiji Quan: Final Refinement of Classical Taiji Quan – Tina Zhang

Week 5: July 18 – 25, 2014 (Friday dinner & class to Wed. lunch at noon)

tina.taiji.bookcover                Tina.zhang.wu.taichi.pose

Tina Zhang is National Women’s Wu Style Tai Ji Quan Champion and author of “Classical Northern Wu Style Tai Ji Quan”
The Northern Wu tyle of Tai Ji quan was the last refinement of classical Tai Ji Quan. All further refinements thereafter were focused solely on the health aspects of the art. The Wu style founder Quan (Chuan) You was an officer in the Imperial Guard and learned Tai Ji Quan directly from the founder of the Yang style, Yang Lu Chan. Quan You’s modifications further softened the movements while adding the short range power of the Ox Plow stance, and increasing the flow of movement and energy. As with all the “classical” versions of the art, ALL of the health aspects are intrinsic within the movements of Northern Wu style and actually offer improved health benefits beyond the later modifications. Tina Zhang is a formal disciple of Northern Wu Style Grandmaster Li Bing Ci

tina.sword

Tina will teach the foundations of Northern Wu Tai Ji, both form and the famous Northern Wu Sword Set

Serious students of the art of Tai Ji Quan should not miss this chance to study the last of the great classical styles with a true master of the art.

Tina has hunted all over China to find the greatest masters of Tai Chi and Qigong.

Tina in interview with Taiji Magazine: “We should pursue the experience of practicing Qi Gong or internal martial arts constantly as a healthy life style. A healthy life is not going to come to you automatically, nor is it guaranteed that you will be healthy forever because you take a taiji or Qi Gong class occasionally.

“It is a continuous work that will takes years and years, maybe a whole life for the wisdom to be stimulated into your mind and body which becomes the power that you need for good life. Try to learn Tai Ji Quan or/and Ba Gua Zhang. They are both beautiful internal arts and their martial aspects can be great fun and everyone likes to play. Enjoy what you have in your life and be happy about who you are.”

Open to Everyone, without prerequisites, regardless of background or age. Students who wish to eventually teach may apply for certification under the Healing Tao University Instructor Certification program.

Tina Zhang is a well-qualified professional Internal Martial Arts instructor, who is bilingual in Chinese and English. Her classes are guaranteed to energize your soul and improve your internal energy. Whether you have Tai Chi or Qi Gong experience or not, you will be amazed at how easy this unique form can be learned through Tina’s teaching methods. This art will stay with you for your whole life!

The next China Dream Trip will not be until August 2016, and wil include Mt. Changbai and probably Mt. Hua, the two most powerful mountains I’ve found in China. We’ll go in August to get the clear weather over the volcanic lake on Mt. Changbai, the root mountain of the Healing Tao lineage.

We’ve got a new teacher this year, famous author and creativity expert Michael Gelb. He is a long time qigong enthusiast and teacher. He has embedded his deep knowledge into a special qigong form — Da Vinci Creativity Qigong — that breaks new ground. His new book includes a section by me on using the Inner Smile to tap into one’s creative potential. Michael is a terrific addition to our faculty and I urge you to explore his novel perspectives on ancient methods of self-cultivation.
                                  

In addition we have a new multi-level Tai Chi Qigong retreat with Steven Sy never before offered. This is a short form, easy to learn (only 13 movements), but very grounded and very powerful for health or self-defense.

Minke de Vos is one of the best Medical Qigong teachers in America, and has synthesized many different systems together over her 30+ years in the Tao. Her Healing Love: Taoists Sexual Secrets co-taught with Michael Winn is a perennial favorito.

Andrew McCart‘s Tao Yin (Chinese yoga) will open any practitioner of any yogic style to new depths and power of Qi flow. He teams up with Steven Sy for a highly praised Fusion 1 & Iron Shirt 1 course, and teaches the higher levels of both practices as well.

Jampa Stewart is one of the most advanced Chi Nei Tsang teachers and teaches both levels 1 and 2 back to back. This is an extraordinary opportunity for healers of all kinds to keep their hands on skills of deep internal organ and channel work.

Frank Allen is revealing his “inner door” transmission of his teacher’s 9 Palace Bagua form.

Tina Zhang is a many time champion tai ji teacher who this year is including Wu Sword moves for the students of her Northern Wu taijiquan long form. For those able to absorb the extra practice.

Michael Winn is offering a deep integration of qigong and Taoist internal alchemy (neidangong), a progressive training that moves through Sexual Alchemy, Sun-Moon Alchemy, Planetary alchemy, Star Alchemy, and Heaven & Earth Alchemy. The courses must be taken in sequence, and alternate year teaching schedule means possibly learning some by homestudy.

Our Blue Ridge mountain setting is very special, the courses are wonderful, and the other folks are fabulous people. This is YOUR community. All at an amazingly low price.

The key thing is that retreat prices have been kept low – unchanged for the 9th year in a row!!!   Tuition is still only $495 for a week. Wow! The live transmission is worth the extra travel cost.

Commuters still welcome ($100. facility fee). They have the option of eating with the folks who are staying on campus.

Our low prices only possible because of generous subsidies from my non-profit organization. But low prices relies on getting a sufficient volume of signups. So the best way to support your Taoist ideals and stay in touch with a wonderful spirtual community is to signup for a retreat or two. The people you’ll meet at these retreats are as fun, inspiring and valuable as the retreat itself.
