Iam privileged to have been part oftheir lives, and, in some cases, actual healing of sickness and pain. Qigong isa very personal experience. You will soor discover how practicing Qigong benefits you. I certainly hope you find ample benefit. Unfortunately some people. even those I work with individually simply do not experience the fall benefit of Qigong. “This is important to recognize for those experiencing a current medical condition encourage you to use Qigong as a complementary practice to any current medical treatment, [also encourege y hicalth care provider before you begin to practice Qigong—and before you make any decision to change any current medical treatment. 11 t consult thoroughly with your physician or other licensed Sometimes the benefits of Qigong are not apparent at fist; sometimes it takes time to experience the benefits, encourage you to continue to practice Qigong even when the benefits are not immediate, If you experience any medical condition while practicing Qigong, you should consult with a physician or other appropriate licensed health care provider—I do not want you to wait and see whether your continued practice of Qigong provides the healing you desire. How to use this Course Qigong is easly earned. Start by istening to the first four audio tapes. They introduce you to Spring Forest Qigong, You may listen to these anywhere, even while you are driving. ‘Then watch the video tape. You will meet people who practice Qigong, and you will learn the Active Exercises of Spring Forest Qigong. Consider watching the video fape multiple times to effectively learn the exercises. The remaining two audio sessions are for exercise and editation, The first, called Active Exercises, helps you with the active exercises that you learned on the video. Bach side is approximately 30 minutes. On Side A, I will guide you through these exercises: Beginning of the Universe, Forming of Yin and Yang, Moving of Yin and Yang, Breathing of the Universe, and Joining of Yin and Yang. On Side B, Iwill guide you through Harmony of Universal Energy, Seven Steps of New Life, and the ending exercise, Harvesting Qi. Ifyou choose to do just Side A, be sure to finish the session with the Ending exercise—it is easy to memorize. ‘The second other audio tape includes two 30-minute Sitting Meditations: Small Universe and Self-Concentration. Do not listen to the meditation tapes while driving, Use one or more of these sessions each day as you learn Qigong, Serious students will do one hour of the Active Exercises and one session of the Sitting Meditations each day. While that is optimal, you will also benefit with just ten minutes of Qigong. AAs you develop your practice you may continue with the tapes, practice in silence, or use other music in the background such as the enclosed CD titled Inner Beauay. This CD is meditation music for longer sessions or simply for your relaxation and enjoyment. ‘This course manual is a Qigong treasure trove.

The Essence of Qigong Qugong is a study of the energy of the whole universe, which includes physics, chemistry, psychology, biology astrology, electricity, and medicine, We focus on medical Qigong, the comerstone of traditional Chinese medicine. Qigong has been practiced in ‘China for over five thousand years and has been shown effective in the prevention and cure of many diseases. Today tens of millions of people in China practice Qigong because ofits great power of healing. Yet unlike acupuncture, acupressure, herbal medicine, or tai chi, Qigong remains a mystery to most Americans. This ancient discipline combines mental concentration, breathing technique, and body movements to activate and cultivate our “ital energy” as it flows through the invisible channels of the body. In Chinese philosophy, “Qi” or “Chi? (pronounced Chee) means air or breath, vital ‘energy or the Universal Force that forms all animate and inanimate Usings. “Gong” means work, the Function and benefit of this energy or self-discipline leading to the art of mastery. ‘We are born with the vital and intelligent energy of Qi. This complex energy substance, fundamental ro life itself, comprised of an informational message and its cartier energy Why do more and more people in the world, including dactors, scientists, psychologists and nurses, come to Qigong? Its effective healing power and simplicity of philosophy. Western medicine is « good medicine. It has helped hundreds of millions of people with their sufferings, but ic has its weak points * Teis not a preventative medicine * Ie deals primarily with symptoms, not the cause * Tr focuses on the physical body only, ignoring the spiritual body + Ithas side effects that can ereate more problems * It puts a patient into a passive position in the healing * Ttcam be very costly Qigong deals with the cause of sickness, gives the horly a perfect healing, and heals the body physically spiritually, and mentally, Qigong heals the body faster and more completely with fewer or no side effects, lower cost, and while actively. involving the patient. At the same time, Qigong prevents future problems, The Health Benefits of Qigong Here is a taste of specific health benefits that our practitioners have experienced. © Adjust and strengthen your digestive and elimination system for vitality at your ideal weight. * Clear away toxic build-up ard slow aging caused by blocked energy in the vital organs, * Reinforce your body's natural defense to illnesses. * Reverse shrinkage of tendons to eliminate discomfort and improve flexibility in the muscles and joints. * Increase oxygenation to your body's cells to balance blood pressure and relieve stress. * Calm the nervous system to feel peaceful, composed, and prepared for your daily adventures.

We are formed by two kinds of Qi-Yin and Yang. Yin means something female, passive, ane spiritual; Yang means something male, active, and physical. Examples of Yin would be ‘woman, water, and earth, Examples of Yang would be man, fire, and sky. Yin and Yang energy must be in a good balance. Colds, arthritis, tumors, etc, are simply the symptoms of the imbalance of Yin and Yang, This imbalance creates energy blockages. Once a blockage is formed, energy cannot flow freely in our energy channel: energy channels run throughout the body to keep it fully functioning, These ‘We have many energy channels in our body. There are twelve main channels and eight reservoir channels, Each channel serves a specific purpose, The main channels carry energy to wherever energy is needed in the body. Extra energy in the main channels flows to the reservoir channels, The body draws on energy in the reservoir channels when the main channels run low: Blockages in the main and reservoir channels prevent energy from getting to all parts, of the bod. Body finetioning slows down or stops, and we feel sick. If we want to get well, we have to remove those blockages and open channels. This rebalances the Yin and Yang energy We remove blockages and open channels when we take medicine and/or practice Qigong and other exercise.
