Michael Lomax qigong DVD's: Stillness-Movement and Gift of Tao still available or anyone still has??

Recommended Posts

Hi there! I wish to practice Michael's stuff for health and growth, but I can't find the DVD's that used to be available. All I see is workshops and expensive $600 memberships. I am out of work and have very little money and can't afford this. 

 

Does anyone still have these DVD's / videos they want to get rid of or sell? I don't see anything on youtube either. I don't see them online at all.

 

I think I get the gist of stillness-movement from his book. You essentially relax and keep attention  / awareness on the LDT and allow your body to move in any way that comes up. Is that pretty much all to it in simple describing? Too me, it looks kind of similar to kunlun in that you let whatever happens in the body to happen (minus the raised ankles and arm / hand placements). I will read up more here on this site to see if I can find out more about it.

Gift of the Tao is another thing. I don't understand the movements from the book. Why are the videos / dvd's no longer available for people who don't want to or can't afford to buy a course / membership?

 

If anyone has any info or access to the DVD's, I would greatly appreciate it! Thank you!

I have been contemplating on it too, and came to the conclusion that stillness-movement makes no sense without transmission. Sure it makes sense to do it, but then you are doing just a random sitting meditation, like from any other source. Transmission is what makes the difference, to speed up progress.
Without that, you might be better of learning some basic zhang zhuang or sitting meditation with LDT, as there will be likely more content than in the s-m ebook, from most sources.


Gift of the Tao is taught on the dvd as a pretty much loose form, movements are shown without any stress on precise execution. If you have a book with GOT movements (I wasn't aware there was one, but I am not up to date about S-M or GOT at all), IMHO you might be able to do it by the book. It is more like "loose shamanic movements" than qigong, at least first level.
