Unfortunately, there is no video clip sample
at this stage. However, I strongly recommend it.
I’ve attached a link at the end of this post
to the Deep Healing Qigong video. It provides
a description of the form, and will give you more
insight. I feel that doing some standing practice,
if only for a short period, and trying to increase…[Read more]

>>>Cattleya and I have Chronic Fatigue Syndrome,
>>>so though we may be able to stand and walk a bit,
>>>I don’t believe it’s healthy for us to do so.

For starters, I’d suggest changing your thinking.
The human body’s natural state is one of health,
and to be able to walk and stand is a healthy behavior
for a body. I would not…[Read more]

Hi,

In my view, it sort of depends on how strong and/or deep
the emotion is . . . as to how long one needs to do the
Healing Sounds etc., or whether the Healing Sounds
will even be sufficient. By this, I mean “it depends
on how deep the underlying emotion goes”.

Consider the following examples (anger) to
illustrate what I…[Read more]

Hello Antonia,

Many times the people who are the most sick
and can not get out of bed, still do if only to get
up to use the bathroom/toilet. For these people, I would still
recommend trying to do some qigong while upright, if
only they can do so for 10 minutes and then go back to bed.

Being able to do this, even for short periods,…[Read more]

Hello,

Regarding Five Animals:

Michael’s Qigong Fundamentals 1 DVD contains the Five Animals practice.
It is a 2 hour DVD that demonstrates how to do the movements
along with some theory behind it.

Regarding Fusion 1:

Fusion is one of those practices that sometimes takes multiple
attempts at, before it sinks in . . . both with…[Read more]

It’s great to see both you and Linda posting your
questions/responses again after the snafu earlier
surrounding the server malfunction/reset.

The thing about blissful phenomena from doing practices
that I’ve found is: once you start to expect or
anticipate a certain response, then it changes.
Once you start looking for a particular…[Read more]

Very interesting collection of articles, Michael.
Thank you for sharing.

The big question for me whenever I have read
anything about this topic before, is that “death”
as indicated or decided upon by the medical establishment,
is defined by the stopping of the heartbeat and respiration.
However, we know that once that happens, most of…[Read more]

>>>I feel under this theory, there is nothing

>>>From this view, there can never be early heaven

>>>What is Jing? Pre or post?

Good question.
I’ve never heard of it described in these terms.
According the model given above, I suppose that
jing, which corresponds to substance, would not
exist in the formless.

But again, this is just a guess.
I don’t understand his model fully.

And, of course, there are different models.

>>>Its good you state they are your views.
>>>I think adel was trying to understand MW’s view.

No, I don’t think adel was trying to understand
MW’s view in this thread. It was the other thread
entitled “I’m confused” where that was the case.
In this thread, Adel gave an opinion after reading
an article, and I followed with one of my…[Read more]

Note: My understanding of Michael’s explanation may
not be totally correct. So you need to take
that as a caveat as well as differing views
amongst different people.

Again, my understanding would be that the
pre-natal energies that are given to you
from birth are being pulled in from the void
on “autopilot”. They are been drawn…[Read more]

>>>Can you define the soil. And how it is different than spirit?

I assume you meant to say soUL. 😉

In any case, in my post, I was not using the term “soul”
in any kind of rigorous fashion. I was being quite
colloquial, trying to appeal to intuition.

Since discussions of this type tend to revolve around
which world-view a person…[Read more]

To add on to what has already been mentioned . . .

To my understanding, the way Michael uses this
terminology is as follows:

Pre-natal = Early Heaven = Formless realm
Post-natal = Later Heaven = Realm of form (Here)

As for “yuan qi”, there can be pre-natal yuan qi
or post-natal yuan qi. The post-natal yuan qi
would be that…[Read more]

Hi,

No no. You’ve done nothing wrong.
I would be glad to see your post.

A few weeks ago, you made a great post about Lesser Kan & Li,
and was looking forward to responding. Unfortunately, the guy
that administrates the system was in the process of rebooting the server,
and the post ended up getting deleted in the process.
There…[Read more]

I think there are probably some aspects that are local.

E.G. lower dantian gut brain has different perspective
than the heart, which has a different perspective than
the head

E.G.#2 If a person’s liver gets poisoned from alcohol,
the liver might not know why the person is drinking.
There may not be sufficient communication amongst…[Read more]

Hi Adel,

What you say, makes sense to me.

To expand further:

Another issue is that some people have weak boundaries.
They get asked to do things, and they don’t know how to say no.
Then they have too many things on their schedule, and not
enough time to do them in.

Then they end up being late for two reasons.
One, simply not…[Read more]

I don’t know anything with 100% certainty.

Since this is your second post on the same topic,
let me give you some things to think about.

The Healing Tao practices are designed to improve
one’s health, one’s flow of energy, one’s groundedness
in being a spiritual being living in the real physical
world. This is all beneficial, regardless of what
“enlightened state” a person…[Read more]
