  1. Flying Phoenix Chi Kung

    I watched the interaction between Sifu Terry and GM Doo Wai. Having worked in my career with people who have had brain dysfunction due to one reason or another I can understand that Sifu Terry was trying to keep GMDW focused on the questions. Otherwise, his mind would have wandered all over the place and there would be no answers. I have had to use similar ways to communicate with my brain dysfunctioned clients over the years to create some kind of organization that their brains were lacking. It is amazing that GM Doo Wai is able to speak at all considering the number of strokes he has suffered. And I did not detect any rudeness in the tone of Sifu Terry's voice. Sifu Terry was applying the external control that GM Doo Wai's internal mental status currently lacks. That is how I perceived it.
  2. What became of Qigong Master Yan Xin?

    I don't think he was a fake because Chunyi Lin talks about going to a soccer stadium where this master was transmitting Qi and Lin's old basketball injured knee suddenly was healed. The subject of this thread was the master there.
  3. Sifu Dan LaRochelle and the Rizzo brothers

    The above complaints about Sifu Dan La Rochelle surprise me because over the last 5 years he has always replied to any questions I had about what he offers on his website. The Rizzo brothers have also always replied to my questions about their products and they were the ones who informed me of Doo Wai's health issues with the strokes. As far as Flying Phoenix taking too long to do, I totally agree with that. And that is the only shortcoming I find in that system. The quality of those dvds by Terry Dunn is beyond what most other qigong dvds look like. The question about if there are any qigong methods out there which do not take as long as FP but are equally or more beneficial can only be answered on an individual basis that would take a legitimate medical clairvoyant to determine. That is how I determine which qigong methods I currently practice. Each method is relative to other methods and is always based on your individual condition of your nervous system, energy blocks, etc. There is no way to determine this on your own. As for the crazy high prices for some of Doo Wai videos, I was told by a few of his students that the price relates to how powerful the claimed benefits are for that particular qigong method from the Doo Wai family lineage. That is why 690 AD method costs $300. Some of the Doo Wai students were charged $30,000 for Doo Wai to make them a video of a certain qigong form. PT Barnum said it best.
  4. Flying Phoenix Chi Kung

    Well said Sifu Terry! What you have shared does sum up our situation. During these times of entropy that occurs before a phase transition in Nature that takes us to a more organized state, I find myself spontaneously going back in a nostalgic mood to my memories of childhood during the 1950's when even to a young child it did feel like America was great. My master, Maharishi Mahesh Yogi, taught that the mind always spontaneously goes to a field of greater charm. He also taught that the current head of state of a nation reflects the collective consciousness of the governed. That is especially sad for this nation. That this great country has so many citizens with such low consciousness. Fortunately, at least 2 percent of the population has chi kung and meditation to hold onto as a life preserver during these strange times as the eroding cabal tries to hold onto to the old power while Nature is bringing in the real power. Darkness vanishes in the Light.
  5. Rasa transmission from ausar.org?

    I used to automatically assume that any spiritual method that charged a super high amount of money was just a scam. But then the organization that I have belonged to for the past 45 years, Transcendental Meditation, one day raised their initiation fee to the crazy price of $1,500. In 1973 I paid $75 to learn T.M. So the method being taught by Ausar has to be evaluated by something other than his very high price. For $30 I know of a medical clairvoyant that I have used for over 20 years who can tell me whatever I want to find out about this method.
  6. Flying Phoenix Chi Kung

    Thank you Sifu Terry for sharing your experience with angels. From that I would conclude that angels can appear in various forms but perhaps regardless of their visual appearance, the constants with each experience with them is the Divine Light/energy and the feeling of Divine love?
  7. Flying Phoenix Chi Kung

    I think I saw this video several years ago. All that comes to mind about why it is different is that Doo Wai made many videos of advanced chi kung forms and this fellow might have been able to learn from them. What I liked about it was that he did the movements slow enough so that you could follow what he was doing. When I watch Doo Wai do movements he does them so relatively fast that I am not sure what he is doing.
  8. Flying Phoenix Chi Kung

    As far as the airliner goes, those who have true sight claim that angels do not have wings but are seen as light. People who have had NDEs also report this. But a great photo anyway.
  9. Wu Wei Qigong and Falun Gong: origins and differences

    ,You won't find a thread about Wu Wei Qigong anywhere. The little that is disclosed about is found on the site that sells the dvd, Purple Plum Pubications. Their series is called Chinese Living Treasures and they carry Master George Xu's dvds. He is a well known martial artist in the San Francisco Bay area. To ask questions about Wu Wei Qigong you could direct them to his senior student, Susan Matthews, since Master Xu usually does not reply to inquiries. From what Susan told me, Master Xu learned Wu Wei Qigong years ago from a Master in Shanghai and this was before Falun Gong was introduced by Master Li. And I prefer Wu Wei Qigong to Falun Gong because the static postures are not to be held anywhere near as long as Falun Gong requires. Falun wants you to hold a static posture for as long as you can. I found that the more I practiced the form the longer I could hold the postures and it was becoming 25 minutes for each posture but I had a life to live and could not devote that kind of time to qigong. With Wu Wei Qigong 5 minutes was fine and no more than 10 minutes per static posture. And there was no prohibition against doing any other type of Qigong like Falun Gong warns. Both systems automatically install an energy wheel which spins in your lower dan tian acting to bring in Qi, and also to expel bad Qi on a 24/7 basis. So doing the form serves to keep the wheel working at maximum capacity. My medical clairvoyant reported that Wu Wei Qigong is more powerful than doing Falun Qigong and the wheel from Wu Wei has a different appearance than the wheel from Falun Gong. I think the name of the form, Wu Wei, is what confuses some people. I just ignored the name rather than racking my brain about what it had to do with the form. So that is all that I know about this subject. And Wu Wei being considered to mean "nothing", would be like saying the vacuum state of quantum physics is empty. Or that the Tao contains nothing or that outer space is just space.
  10. G.M Doo Wai San Gong meditations

    Yes, that is the correct dvd. I own that one but at the time some years ago when I got it I was not able to figure out how to do them since they are demo only and not instructional. Someone now might be able to learn them by using VLC player to get rid of the mirrored image and by slowing down the speed. When Doo Wai says something is high level, it is not an exaggeration since Eric over the years has confirmed that. And thus some people are just not ready for the high level meds of Doo Wai since their nervous system does not yet support some of the energies from his advanced stuff.
  11. Wu Wei Qigong and Falun Gong: origins and differences

    The above is truly a conclusion based on lack of knowledge and experience of qigong and Traditional Chinese Medicine. I will admit that it is clever in terms of semantics. It also shows a true lack of understanding of the meaning of Wu Wei. I would suggest that the person making those comments read the Tao Te Ching as a starter and also learn qigong.
  12. Potent Systems

    I recently stumbled upon the methods of young Jason Quitt of Ontario, Canada. Super highly evolved soul probably from far, far away originally, considering the knowledge, abilities and energy/spiritual methods he has brought here for sharing. He has a unique form of qigong that is a result of studying the various different postures as seen by the ancient Egyptian statues and then taking them to some qigong masters which resulted in creating a level one Postures of Power qigong book/dvd, and a level 2 form. This guy is super sensitive to healing energy so he is able to have some great experiences. He also has a brilliant and creative mind. He also has great experiences using the fairly new to the market Shungite Rods which are the same principle as the Egyptian Healing Rods that I own but they are made of Shungite stone which is supposed to have some amazing healing abilities for mind, body and spirit. Jason spent about ten years doing Chinese qigong but really things opened up for him as soon as he used these Shungite Rods. They are so powerful that you are only supposed to hold them up to 10 minutes twice a day and stop after 2 weeks, and wait a month before using them again. This sounds way beyond the Egyptian Healings Rods that I use. So I have ordered his Postures of Power Egyptian qigong book and a pair of the Shungite Rods. I got the rods at half price from ordering from the manufacture who ships them from Russia with free shipping. They cost very little and the Egyptian Healing Rods that I have had for at least 10 years are quite expensive. I am looking forward to having my energy sensitive wife using them. My energy sensing still remains blocked. I am hoping the Egyptian Qigong and the Shungite Rods will help with that problem. Jason's website is thecrystalsun.com.
  13. Redemption for Reiki

    I think that it is more a result of who is learning the healing method, rather than what the healing method is. Some people are naturally born healers just like some people have incredible experiences right off the bat from qigong while there are others who after years can only feel sensations from qigong in their hands. It depends on the condition of our nervous system. That is my opinion after 26 years of Reiki and 11 years of Qigong and 44 years of daily Transcendental Meditation.
  14. Iron Body System level 1 -garry hearfield

    Seated and moving postures to build health. It is not a martial art body building form.
  15. Flying Phoenix Chi Kung

    If my memory serves me well, when I bought the San Gong dvd some years ago the seller told me it translates as "seated meditation". I would say a variant would be "seated cultivation" since I think of the word gong as work but in the case of qigong, work involving the cultivation of inner energy/alchemy. And to me, the highest purpose of that cultivation would be for developing shen which I think of as higher consciousness/spiritual experience.
  16. As a result of clairvoyant testing of forms I have changed my Qigong routine at the start of the New Year. I do Fragrant Qigong by Master Tian, along with using that tradition's method for making Fragrant Qigong water. And my other form is One Finger Zen Qigong by Ken Cohen. There is no mistaking the Qi that is put into the hands from this one. Keep in mind it is not done just to be able to eventually heal others with Qi, it creates much Qi that circulates in the entire body for your own personal benefits, per Ken Cohen and per the recent testing by Eric Isen. I also do a total of 30 minutes of La-Chi method from Chi-Lel. And Awakening the Soul form from Sheng Zhen Qigong.
  17. Yes, most people do not understand that the qigong method has to fit the person. One size does not fit all. That is the value of having methods tested by Eric.
  18. Xiang Gong - Fragrant Qigong

    I want to reply to these posts about Fragrant Qigong. It is something I learned about 2 weeks ago and the first day that I tried it, a health condition that I had symptoms of for over 20 years, maybe even 30 years, healed in a major way literally over night with the combination of a very simple qigong method from a different form. This was the first miracle healing I ever experienced. And my experience includes 44 years of daily TM meditation, and 20 years of consulting with a top ayurvedic medical clairvoyant and all of his recommended herbs and supplements, 26 years of Reiki, and trying at least 80 different styles of Qigong. So obviously I am indebted to Master Tian for teaching this form. I learned it from the online videos of his daughters teaching the form which I have to assume is the correct way. Earl Grey was kind enough to tell me how to get in touch with his teacher who visits the Tian family. I then exchanged emails with Earl's teachers and read about Fragrant Qigong on his website and then obtained his book on Qigong. Few Westerners have accomplished in TCM and qigong what this teacher has. Therefore, if he has said that he has visited Master Tian who is alive and well, then that is good enough for me. And my guess would be that Master Tian would prefer to have a group of 5,000 to learn Fragrant Qigong because that many people creates a strong Qi field and the stronger the Qi field, the stronger the healing for the participants. That is also when people can smell the fragrances, in very large groups. The Chinese government does not allow large groups to gather to practice qigong, but they do allow large tai chi groups because that is a martial art and not qigong, according to their paranoid thinking. Fragrant Qigong was eventually banned because of the large crowds filling soccer stadiums. So just like the large numbers of Falun Dafa people were a threat to the Communist Party, so was the large numbers from Fragrant Qigong. The Chinese government is known to use propaganda to discredit whomever they fear. I also want to say that many people on this blog have probably wondered over the years why I have tried do many different qigong methods. I often even questioned myself about this. But I finally realized the reason after the healing I had from Fragrant Qigong. In spite of the great test results about what each qigong method was doing for me according to what my medical clairvoyant was seeing each of them do for me, I still had this strong sense that I am not really experiencing that many benefits in daily life other than more energy. So my search for the right qigong method for myself has really paid off. Now I am glad that to my own self I remained true. As Grandmaster Doo Wai says on some of his qigong videos, the proof of the method is if it gives you results.
  19. Flying Phoenix Chi Kung

    The harder work required by TTP is one reason I stopped doing it. But when I did it briefly even just doing the first movement resulted in so much stronger sensations of chi coming from the few other styles of qigong I was doing. But these days I am not into harder work.
  20. Flying Phoenix Chi Kung

    Not all Kundalini practices create problems. That is one reason people engage in Kundalini practice. Another reason is not so widely known. Awakening, which is a stage of higher consciousness different than Enlightenment, is achieved when Kudalini rises to the upper chakras, the brain, and remains there. It is that simple. It all depends on who is teaching you the kundalini methods in order to know if they are safe or not. That is how I view it. The Kundalini experience I had 40 years ago resulted in the most normal functioning of my brain/mind/consciousness that I have ever experienced. Thus, it was completely opposite any negative effects whatsoever. As I said, it depends on who is teaching what. And I practiced the short form of TTP without any problems. It was taught by someone from the Lew K. Share lineage.
  21. Hi Johnny,

    Did you have a link of Master Tian's daughter demonstrating Fragrant Qigong? I watched it the other day but now cannot locate it. If you have the link could you please send it?

    Master John replied to my request and I then ordered his dvd for Fragrant Qigong. I want to see how I do with that before I arrange a Skype session with him. If I read his website correctly the other day, his Skype session was $28 AU which is even less than US $. So that would be great. Either way, I think his rates are affordable. I just want a little more experience doing the simple method and then what stories he shares and tips via Skype will have more meaning.

    I appreciate you telling me about him. When I first stumbled upon his online videos a few years ago I had no idea who he was and how much training he had in China when he was young. Looks like you found a good master. If you are originally from Australia, have you heard of Master John Douglas? He has those series of CDs that are supposed to do great things for you. Eric has tested them for many people over the years and they always tested good but when Eric was given the whole series of CDs as a gift, he said he did not experience much from them. Very ironic. I have most in the series and have never felt anything. But my friend had great experiences using the CD that is for the chakras.

      Hi Steve,

       

      I believe it's posted in one of the threads here on Fragrant Qigong, which are these links: 

       

      and 

       

       

      I'm actually from the United States originally, but serendipitously met Master John and trained with him during one of his travels to Bali and was supposed to do the same in China recently. 

       

      Unfortunately, I don't know much about Master John Douglas, so I can't comment on that. 

       

      Enjoy Xiang Gong! I have dreams about practicing it at times even though I haven't done it for a long while and wake up feeling healed. Very powerful for physical and psychic healing. 

  22. Flying Phoenix Chi Kung

    This is off topic but to end it on this blog with disparaging a teacher of a different qigong method I think might be considered to be lacking in virtue. I did practice Jeff's qigong method several years ago and had no problems with it. And as far as overpriced, his 4 day workshops are the lowest price qigong workshops in the United States. It was 4 days for a total of $99 and I think it is a little bit more now but still the best price anywhere. And to compare EST to a Jeff Primack workshop makes no sense. There is tremendous energy in group practice. Just look at the research on what has been called the Maharishi Effect which I was part of that study on what group consciousness can do at the individual level and even effecting world events. So I think we can enjoy the Grand Master Doo Wai methods while accepting that other people may be drawn to different teachers but that does not mean there is something wrong with other qigong methods. A little tolerance goes a long way, especially when we have not experienced first hand the methods of someone we are critical of.
  23. Potent Systems

    Unfortunately, the qigong forms that I know of that are holistic and develop the mind, body and spirit, such as Falun Dafa, take too much time to perform. So instead, I do multiple short forms. Probably not the best thing to do in terms of giving the system mixed energy signals, but I find it to fit my lifestyle.
  24. Potent Systems

    10 minutes to do the Eddie Chong form. But he told me it is best to do it 3 times a day. Chi-Lel is the same as Zhineng. I am impressed with the way Mingtong Gu teaches in comparison to Luke Chan so I have ordered Gu's dvd for Zhineng called Wisdom Healing Qigong. I have arranged for one of his teachers to teach me the basic form via Skype since there are 2 Flying Crane like arm movement that cannot be learned correctly via a dvd because the movement is done with the shoulder blades and not the arms and done in a circle but it does not appear that way when you see it performed. So needs to some instruction to make the dvd valuable after you learn it correctly. So Zhineng for health, 690 AD for health and spiritual, and Sheng Zhen Qigong Awakening the Soul form for Spiritual. Along with Longevity Qigong for health and spiritual. At least that is my latest plan.
  25. Potent Systems

    I recently had Eric Isen do a comparison testing between Eddie Chong's 5 Petal Plum Chi Kung and Chi-Lel/Zhineng to see which one would be better for my health. Eric saw that there was no comparison, Chi-Lel was far superior as it mainly works on the first 3 chakras which is the seat of health. So I have ordered Mingtong Gu's dvd version of Zhineng Qigong called Wisdom Healing Qigong. I am also learning Awakening the Soul form as part of Sheng Zhen Qigong since Eric recently told me that the heart is the area that needs some work now in me. He meant the emotional part. I was not enjoying the Eddie Chong form as it was like a very mild form of isometrics.
