I've been practicing for about 2 months now (after having read most of this thread), and it's really cool to experience for myself what others have written about. Now I'm re-reading the thread and finding fresh insight the second time around. Thanks to all who have contributed!
What prompted me to post tonight though was all this stuff in the news about Ebola, Chikungunya, and the perennial West Nile virus. I'm curious to what extent Flying Phoenix would Imbue practitioners with immunity/resistance to these diseases.
It seems to me that an art with such a storied history as Flying Phoenix and the other Bak Fu Pai arts, one of the reasons a healing qigong would develop such renown would be that it fortified people against the waves of disease that constantly ravaged the world before germ theory.
That being said, I am certainly not volunteering to be a test case for Flying Phoenix practitioners' resistance to Ebola!
If SIfu Gary or Sifu Terry have any stories that were passed down from Grandmaster Doo Wai, or any anecdotes about Flying Phoenix's effects on viruses and bacteria, I'd love to hear them.

I ordered the flying phoenix DVDs yesterday, and before I get started, I really just wanted to drop by and say thank you to sifu Terry for being so generous with his time by answering all these questions. I'm reading through this thread (about 70 pages so far), and it is just such a treat to have access to all this knowledge being shared.
Looking forward to starting the meditations and postin my experiences!

Hello, everyone. I found this discussion forum searching for info on flying phoenix shen gong, and joined so I could participate in that discussion.
I also practice the various alchemy Mantak Chia teaches, and in my spare time, I enjoy studying Classical Chinese. Look forward to taking with you all!

Haven't posted in a long time, in spite of practicing, so I wanted to check in and share some of my experiences.
I started FP in June of last year, following the training regimen on Sifu Terry's website. I've continued and worked my way through the 2 intermediate forms, practicing every day with a few exceptions. I should add that I went ahead and bought volume 7, the advanced MSW, and have practiced those alongside the beginning and intermediate forms. I haven't started the long form or anything from volume 5.
So all together, I've been practicing regularly for about 10 months. April 1 is when I will begin practicing the long form every day, and I must say that I'm really looking forward to it! Here are some random observations, in no particular order:
I haven't read the past couple dozen pages of this thread, but I'm looking forward to taking some time tonight and catching up.
Special thanks again to Sifu Terry and Doo Wai for making these available!
