More research on benefits

This was cliped from Ken Cohen's latest newsletter:   New Research

 

Harvard University Medical School has just published a report on “The Health Benefits of Tai Chi” that calls Tai Chi “medication in motion.” Since Tai Chi is a subset of Qigong, all of this information applies to Qigong as well. It cites research for “No Pain, Big Gains” including improvements in muscle strength, flexibility, balance, and aerobic conditioning. Under the category “Tai Chi for Medical Conditions” it recommends Tai Chi as complementary therapy for arthritis, low bone density, breast cancer, heart disease, heart failure, hypertension, Parkinson’s disease, sleep problems, and stroke. You can read the entire report at http://www.health.harvard.edu/newsletters/Harvard_Womens_Health_Watch/2009/May/The-health-benefits-of-tai-chi?print=1

 

As we would expect from a conservative publication, Harvard has only noted information supported by peer-reviewed publication or research. It is important to realize, however, that the range of effective applications far, far exceeds this report,...

Dear chi friends,
I have been quiet lately on the classes front (continuing to teach in the prisons) because I have been focused on ghost writing for our Qigong teacher Mingtong Gu. I have been really enjoying organizing his audio files into written materials and am just completing a 36 page booklet with two cd's to aid beginning students with the powerful emotional transformation Five Organ Integrative Sound Healing as well as simply beautiful chants and meditation practices that have engaged me so for the past years. All this material is coming out of the medicine-less hospital in China with its 95% effective rate of healing major illnesses. see www.chicenter.com

The debut of my new material and more importantly a powerful chi field of healing and joy will be September 25, 2010. At the Marine Civic Center, it will be hundreds of people gathered to activate each others healing and the healing of all, as we learn the sound healing and powerful movements (the spinal bone marrow cultivation for sure). There are other dynamic presenters besides Mingtong too. I have attached the flyer. There is both a day and an evening program. Go for both! We can shift the energy dynamics and move into a healthy kind society.  link: http://www.chicenter.com/Sept25

Julie, who has been coming into Folsom prison with me to help teach QiGong is taking a van down and has room for 5 more in it. Im happy to be a clearing point for car pools as well.

There is a two for one offer for any of my students as the purpose is to generate a lot of high quality intention energy towards helping all of society shift off their old stuck emotional and physical patterns that inhibit to patterns of free flowing energy, healing and peace. Email me for the code.

Sacramento Sound Healing offering: Because this practice is moving so strongly for me, I'll be happy to share it with you Monday evenings. Sept 13, 20, 27, Oct 4, 11, 18. Pay what you can afford. I'll share Sound Healing, Inner Smile, and some of the spinal opening movements that I have found so powerful. Email me to confirm attendance and get directions to my home.

Teaching in prison

Wisdom Healing Qigong activates our Ultimate Goodness. Through the practices, through the teachings, through the community and most importantly through the Chi field our Divine Purpose gets activated, energized and realized.

When I teach Qigong in our prisons, we are activating the energy of all creation, the Hun Yuan Chi, the oneness within all beings, in all of society. This energy of the Goodness of Life leaves no one rejected, isolated or abandoned. Together we are releasing the blockages and encouraging a very deep flow of the energy of freedom within the men’s physical cells and within their life confined to cells. We are cultivating a flow of integrated energy inside the walls where our society has abandoned and discarded those who have been broken and have broken the rules. Together we manifest and express our integral part of the whole fabric of society; a truth we must recognize to put an end to the cycles of crime and punishment.

If a person is willing, it doesn’t take much to activate this energy flow. If a person is willing to practice with dedication, old patterns of behavior and emotional trauma as well as addiction and other illness patterns are replaced with healthy new patterns harmonized with the divine potential within us all. This ancient science of healing and wholeness has been around for thousands of years, its time to apply it to the people living with daily trauma and repression, victims and perpetrators alike.

More Healing Stories and Videos

Wisdom Healing Qigong generates an amazing number of healing stories, because it is combines the science of transformation, with diligent practice and the activation of a very powerful healing Chi field.  Just reading these stories and imagining that the same could happen for you will bring you into this healing community as well.
My own inspiration was the book: 101 Miracles, stories from the medicine-less hospital in China.  From that book I taught myself the form and practiced everyday for a year.  That was more than 10 years ago, now I have met and studied with several Zhineng Qigong teachers and am loving the depth and integration that this Qigong is providing for my life and my abilities as a Qigong teacher no matter what form I am teaching. 

Be inspired by these healing stories.  The same is possible for each of us! Haola!
