I was PMd to do a blogpost on practical qigong training advice.

 

I've given a few links in that post that people should find useful.

 

Have fun practicing.

Just a 'word to the wise' here buddy and please don't take this as any sort of admonition.

I've read your blog and it is most interesting, thank you for posting.

However I did have one concern in that I could not find a disclaimer/warning.

Those are legally essential ( in the UK and, I believe; also in the USA).

That legislation follows on case law involving injured cultivator-claimants.

All cultivation works have a disclaimer/warning right at the beginning along the lines....

 

"Some of these Qigong exercises may be contraindicated in people who are ill or in the wisdom years. If that might be you then you should take professional medical advice before commencing Any of the cultivations described here. The publishers cannot be held responsible for any injuries resulting as a result of cultivation undertaken without due care."

 

Best Regards.

Yeah my dad was the chief deputy attorney general of Minnesota so I'm familiar with the law. Thanks. Also I've been arrested 7 times for civil disobedience protesting against the U.S. Empire. haha.

 

No where in my blog do I say I'm a teacher - I say I'm a student! haha.

 

It's called "free speech" in the U.S. - our law are different than the U.K. regarding free speech but I realize in the corporate-controlled mindset people do self-censor more readily these days.

 

People can read my blog and do whatever they want with it. I never tell people what to do.

 

If they ask me for advice I give my opinion - freely - I never ask for money, etc.

 

But then all of that is self-explanatory on my blog.

 

What exactly did you think I was doing that I would need a disclaimer?

 

A search for case law on cultivators only turns up Deere tractors and farm equipment. haha.

 

Hilarious.

 

Show me some evidence my friend.

There I posted my warning for you.

 

Anyone got questions about the content of my blogpost instead of about the format of my blog? haha.

 

Hilarious.

Well, although I don't think your site needs a disclaimer, the US is more officious and litigious than Europe. I have experience with both (ok, by Europe I mean Germany, but how much more European can you get?).

 

Two examples:

 

• Running club in the US, members have to sign a waiver before every group run. Meet once a week for little 5 miler with friends? Out come the insurance forms. Every time. Try that in Germany and you'll get some very funny looks.
• Amusement parks in the US, same thing. Before every ride, the kid running the show reads an insurance disclaimer over the louspeaker. Last time I was there, they even did this on the freaking kiddie rides (not making this up), reading the same exact insurance disclaimer before every ride, to the three and four year olds sitting strapped in like astronauts. So, if you wait in line fifteen minutes with your kid, you'll hear the same announcement three or four times before they read it to your kid.

 

The US model of "Free speech" is, like most American clichés, a lot of hot air with not much substance to back it up.

 

haha, can a thread go further off-topic in a shorter time? So, to bring it back around, I read through most of your essay and recognize plenty of things that I basically take for granted, but also interpret differently. I coincidentally wrote up a short description of a standing exercise here just a few minutes ago.

It seems silly to me, too, that one should need a disclaimer, but these days people will file a lawsuit over a sandwich that's too short or calling an idiot an idiot

 

Anyway, GMP was just trying to be helpful. A simple "Thank you" would have sufficed, y'know?

haha, here's something you might enjoy, Drew. The disclaimer that appears before entering your blog, in German:

 

Inhaltswarnung

Der Blog, den Sie anzeigen möchten, enthält möglicherweise Inhalte, die nicht jugendfrei sind. Im Allgemeinen überprüft Google weder Blog-Inhalte noch heißen wir die Inhalte dieses oder anderer Blogs gut. Weitere Informationen über unsere Inhaltsrichtlinien finden Sie in den Nutzungsbedingungen von Blogger.

 

 

 

After that text, there are buttons to either 'enter' or 'cancel'.

 

It's like agreeing to be at least 18 years of age before continuing on to a porno site.

Sorry to have taken this off topic.

That wasn't the intention.

I read the blog and thought that it was pretty good stuff.

Your dedication shines throughout and you're sharing info free rather than selling anything.

Kudos!
