  1. Rudi is a natural teacher and is infinitely patient.

     

    His style is very casual yet based in deep knowledge and he made all feel welcome and included.

     

    The time seemed to zip by and his instructions and plan for future learning was cohesive and engaging.

     

    There was ample time for questions and all in all I thoroughly enjoyed the event and can recommend it to anyone. The zoom format worked well and ongoing support and discussion means you are not left confused and we can share experiences with fellow students.

  2. I thought you could get a text message and then use it on your desktop. However it is very misleading and I had to get an old smartphone to make this work. However many times I asked for an sms nothing arrived and then it locks you out for several days for making too many attempts. The message is actually sent to the telegram app which you have to download first, therefore I needed a smartphone. Maybe it is just me but this seems to be a common issue.

  3. This is exactly the sort of thing that someone like myself has been looking for. I am unable to travel and this presents a rare opportunity. The price seems more than reasonable when you consider what many people charge on a monthly basis. I have no connection with the OP but his videos seem very reasonable and grounded.

  4. I have been disabled with M.E for the past 7 years. I recommend that you visit

     

    http://www.hfme.org/

     

    and also the private doctor I have visited in the UK but has plenty of information on the site and a book you can download free:

    the forums here are very active, divided into topics and very helpful:

    Qigong wise - the Flying Phoenix DVDs have been useful as has gentle Tai Chi ruler sets

     

    I hope this is a start - I have extensive experience of many varied and expensive treatments so PM if you want more info...


  5. I would certainly recommend finding a teacher if you intend to learn Wild Goose Qigong. I have Dr. Bingkun Hu's DVDs and the first 2 encompass 128 moves to memorise. You also require quite a large space to practise this form. The supplementary DVDs are shorter but still good. I believe there are many levels beyond the DVD series. I have practised the first 128 move form for two years and while I don't experience the accumulation of energy of other forms it is very invigorating, including the stretching and stimulatiuon of merdians and jumping/shaking. The DVDs are also available to download as well as hard copy.

    Hi Bill,

     

    As you said and as I wrote previously, the two internal systems (GM Share Lew's Tao Tan Pai and GM Doo Wai's Bai Fu Pai) are completely different in almost every way, so the similarity in the "L" postures is only on the visual level...a superficial resemblance. How each system works that posture is totally different.

     

    The TTP seated "L" exercise--the last of the 31, or the 4th exercise in the abbreviated "Power Yoga" involves breathe retention five times with each retention lasting as long as one can manage.

    In contrast, none of the Flying Phoenix Qigong uses breath retention. There are numerous BFP meditations that utilize the seated "L" posture (also with no breathe retention), and they have very different breath sequences, upper body postures and mudras, and therefore very different energy effects.

     

    'Really cannot compare the two systems because they cultivate internal energy, strengthen immunity and promote self-healing and facilitate healing of others  very differently, and they apply martial energy (i.e., energy that dis-integrates organs and organic life systems).

     

    Best to all,

  7. that's a very moving article thanks.

     

    Yes Lightning Process and Reverse Therapy

     

    I have had Mitochondrial function tests which show i am only operating at 5% efficiency.

    Also my cell free DNA levels are similar to someone undergoing chemotherapy which indicates my body is actually attacking itself, hence the fever.

    My Doctor, Sarah Myhill has said these are in the worse 5 tests whe's ever seen which led me to consider some form of energy work/healing

     

    thanks again for your help


  8. Hi

    I'm new on the forum and my first post is to ask for help which i guess is a bit cheeky but here goes:

     

    I have been disabled with CFS for 5 years and have tried almost everything I can think of this includes:

     

    Environmental Medicine/Allergy desensitization

    EFT

    NLP

    TCM inc acupuncture

    Bowen

    Reflexology

    Reiki

    An endless list of expensive supplements

    Various diets including candida regimes

     

    My symptoms are extreme fatigue and meningitis like fevers/delirium that lasts weeks on end.

    I practice qigong when i can but this has had no affect in 3 years.

     

    I really feel like I need "jump starting" and as i live in a remote part of Northern England and find travel difficult

    I would really appreciate any suggestions re any new ideas / reputable healers / distant healing

     

    many many thanks in anticipation
