Hi Jeff,

Part of your confusion here lies in that
you are not getting a complete teaching
on the breathing methods via questions
that just address pieces of it. More
details, of course, are covered in QF3 audio.

However, in lieu of that, let me just summarize
the practice of the 3 breathing methods from QF3.
It will perhaps…[Read more]

you put the web address of the picture
you want inserted into the section below
the text area called “Insert Image”

I don’t know how much detail you want, so I’ll
give you some choices . . .

In short:

With reverse breathing, it is the *abdomen* that
moves in opposition to the breath, not the qi ball.

With more detail:

Reverse breathing (mechanics)
inhale=abdomen contracts
exhale=abdomen expands

The qi ball, on the other hand, moves in…[Read more]

Yes, you are exactly right about the counterforce qigong on QF4.

It’s good to hear about your experiences with
the QF2 package and the QF4 DVD. It’s all good stuff.

Spending the time that you are on the physical qigong
will only help you regarding the meditations. It is
vitally important to get embodied.

It sounds like you have a…[Read more]

Hi Jeff,

Do natural breathing: inhale, and abdomen expands;
exhale, and abdomen contracts.

What makes it different from natural breathing
is the internal energetics.

Internally, you become aware of a qi ball in your lower dantian.

While you do the natural breathing physically (as described above),
the qi ball also expands and…[Read more]

>>>I think here Steven too firmly promotes sleeping in too bulky blocks.

Not true.

How a person gets sleep, whether it is in one big chunk, or
whether it is segmented is irrelevant. What matters is that
a person is getting adequate sleep for their body’s needs.
Too many people are sleep-deprived–trying to function on too…[Read more]

Your kids are important, and they should be.
A lot of time spent there is not only reasonable,
but understandable. It is one of the
sacrifices/joys of being a parent.

This is not what I was referring to as
inessential activities.

Maybe an example with reference to inessential
activities might be in order . . .

Referring back to…[Read more]

>>>Many seem to have problem not having
>>>enough time for their practices
>>>outside their studies or work.

This is an excuse, I feel.

We all invest our time into the things
that we want to. If we didn’t want to,
we’d do something else.

There are usually plenty of things each
of us does, each day, that are really
quite…[Read more]

Interesting . . .

Typically my feeling has been that–seeing the possibility
of radical, transformational changes–we feel inspired
toward action, i.e. “Hey, maybe I could change my
life too! I feel inspired to try.”

However, I just realized that, like anything else,
this powerful message can be hijacked by the shadow side.
It can…[Read more]

Tap Water Pesticides Linked to Allergies

As food allergies become increasingly common, a new study offers the first proof that they may be linked to pesticides found in tap…[Read more]

Hi Adel,

I have the triple fluoride filtration system
that I mentioned from Crystal Quest in the kitchen,
attached to the kitchen faucet. All my drinking water
and cooking water comes through that.

As far as shower/bath/bathroom filters, I’ve
haven’t pursued that yet.

I’m sure I wouldn’t notice any drop in water pressure,
but…[Read more]

Hi Jeff,

>>>Yes Steven, I know I have years upon years
>>>of not getting enough sleep.

Somehow I intuitively knew 😉

>>>Currently I don’t have much choice
>>>unless I want to come in to work later,
>>>but then that means less time at home

Boy, I can’t tell you how many times I heard
that from my former…[Read more]

For more information about the true
story of fluoride, and why its addition
to our drinking water is a terrible scam
that is destructive to our health, please
watch “The Fluoride Deception”. It is
highly educational, and deserves repeated
viewings–even if you’ve seen it before.

There’s probably some truth here.
My grandfather smoked his whole life, until age 90, when he quit.
After a year, he developed dementia, and died with
severe dementia at age 92. Of course, that could
very well be coincidence, but my intuition suggests not.

It has been shown that patients with Alzheimer’s disease
have an accumulation of…[Read more]

Hi Frechtling,

I’m going to start out by telling you what you don’t want
to hear, so hopefully you won’t be too angry. 😉 . . .

You say “besides taking a nap or getting more sleep at
night, “–but in all honesty, getting more sleep at night
IS the most effective way to prevent sleepiness at work! 🙂

I had a girlfriend who was always…[Read more]
