Qigong Tuina Therapy

Qigong Tuina Therapy is a combination of Tuina (a therapeutic approach basing on TCM principles), acupressure, qi balancing, acu-cupping, western medical systems, logic and Qigong.  The therapy is based on the acupuncture points at the 12 Meridians and 8 Extraordinary Meridians; the Viscera a general term for the internal organs (zhang fu); Yin and Yang theory; Five Element Theory and the concepts of Qi. If possible, I would like to have a look at x-ray and medical reports to ascertain the real problem. I also use western medical theories on functions of cerebral cortex (brain), organs and human systems.

Qigong breathing exercises has been used for thousands years to maintain and improve the health of the practitioners and patients by strengthening their immune system. Simple breathing exercises are taught to patients to help improve their health and mobility. Tuina means push and grab/hold with Tui (push) and na (grab/hold). It is guided by (TCM's principles) has been used to treat patients with all kind of health issues since the Ming Dynasty. It is especially useful for removing blockages in blood and qi circulation. 

Each treatment takes at least 1.5 to 2 hours to complete. With the consent off the patient , the treatment may be extended by a maximum 2 hours to speed up the recovery (as in the case of someone with 30 years of chronic back pain where he could not sit for even 10 minutes or other chronic diseases such as stroke etc). 

I have also adopted western knowledge of the cerebral cortex in scalp acupuncture (but uses acupressure instead) for treatment of stroke, Parkinson and other illness due to brain damage/malfunctioning. I also used qigong to stimulate the damage brain cells or problematic areas. I also can treat frozen shoulders, all kinds of limbs problems, neck problems , migraine, severe headache, lady period pain/cramp, back pain, edema, and etc. I am also capable of providing post accident treatments to correct misaligned bone, jutting bones, edema (condition of swollen limbs due to body fluid build up), internal injury due to accident, blood and qi circulation problems etc .

QI GONG - INTRODUCTION TO QI BALL, QI EMISSION, MEDITATION AND BASICS

QI GONG - INTRODUCTION TO QI BALL, QI EMISSION, MEDITATION AND BASICS

                     
       

Qi Emission 2                                           The Healing Qiball                                 Real Colorful Qiball

This article is in respond to those people who want to know more about Qigong or my videos on www.Youtube.com/user/tffoo7. This article will cover the all the basics loosening and breathing exercises; topic of qi ball;  qi emission (fa qi/ fa chi or in Cantonese Fart Hei) and meditation. 

Basically, Qi is a general term for breath, air bubble, energy and etc.  For those who want to know about Qi, please refer to my article, Chi - The Universal Energy.

What exactly is qigong/ chi gong ? Qigong is the art of harnessing and using qi. Basically, qigong is a set of exercises compiled by a master. Like in cooking, the chef will always add his style and flavor to his recipe, a master will have his own emphasis. For example Chen Tai Chi Chuan (Chen style Tai Chi) is the original modern day Tai Chi Chuan which suddenly appeared in the 17th century at the Chen Jia kow (Chen Ravine). After Yang Lu Sian learned the Chen Tai Chi Chuan, he made it more graceful (rou) and slow. He named it as Yang Tai Chi Chuan. Now there are so many new Tai Chi Chuan style with their own emphasis which are offshoots from Chen and Yang Tai Chi Chuan. The Wudang Tai Chi Chuan in the original moves was created by Wudang founding father Chan San Feng in around 1200. Similarly in Qigong, some master will prefer more physical movements while others will prefer more breathing. It is a matter of personal preference. For me there must be lots of breathing, movements and non movements (as in meditations). Then there is Qigong and Neigong (internal art).




If we want to be good at qigong, we must first have an open mind. Each of us has been given different abilities, play different roles, chosen different paths in life and have differing destinies. Before I started Qigong, I had been practicing Kundalini Yoga meditation since 1986. My chakras have long been activated but I still found myself saddled with all kinds of health problems such as psoriasis which the skin specialist said had no cure; cold limbs, sinus and etc. Please refer to my articles Self Healing with Qigong  and How I heal myself (Psoriasis and Dermatitis). 

I had thought that we all breathe all the time so why do we still need to learn how to breathe? When you look around in a qi gong class, the people are all either old or sick or both. Frankly, I had never really wanted to learn qigong.  The truth was I didn't know much about qi or how it function.  


Some examples of what Qi can do

 

 My legs recovering from psoriasis (which skin specialists claim there is no cure).

A few months later , all the above is no longer in sight. The scars while unsightly still remain but it is nothing compare to having to consume and apply antibiotics and steroids every few hours.

Breathing and posture
If we notice the babies when they are asleep, we can see their tummy heaving in (as they breathe in) and out (as they breathe out). As the babies grow older, their body postures changes and so do their breathing habit. Modern men would always try to have the v shape body. I was told by a body builder former collage mate that they cannot do jogging as this would make their waist grow bigger. So naturally it is breathing up to the chest level. You see even Bruce Lee would do anything to get the waist to be muscular and fat free. Wudang founding father Chang San Feng had lived well past a century when he founded Tai Chi Chuan while in seclusion. His body was slightly hunched and had pot belly. He teaches deep diaphragm breathing. He was exactly opposite to Bruce Lee's muscular v shape body. Bruce Lee died at 32 years 8 months. 

Professional soccer players are consider some of the fittest sport people with doctors, physiotherapists and health experts making sure they eat and train as planned. Recently there was this soccer player Muamba in English Premier League who lost consciousness during a game (Bolton V Spur) and was rush to hospital. He has since recovered well enough to leave hospital. An Italian soccer player also lost consciousness a few weeks later. However the Italian player was not so lucky and died on the way to hospital. So what modern science and medical specialists conclude as healthy might just be a death trap. Despite all the careful monitoring of nutrition, modern workout and training methods under the watchful eyes of specialists, these wealthy stars are more at risk than a hermit living in seclusion on top of Mount Wudang (who does not get or need any medical attention). 

Our doctors /specialists seems to group most diseases as incurable. You seems to get steroids, antibiotic and painkillers for everything. Painkillers does not cure / heal your pain, it only numb our nerve to mask it as if there is no pain. The pain (or even cancer) is a message from our body telling us that something is wrong with the way we are living our lives. This should not and cannot go on any further. We need to draw a line and get rid of all unhealthy habits such as not enough rest, eating too much or too fast and not enough proper exercises. If you want to be healthy, please click here. Bruce Lee had proper nutrition and exercises but he does not have enough rest. His immune system just broke down and he died while in a coma. These so call incurable diseases are mostly curable. I have healed many people who have to rely on painkillers to sleep. As long as you find the source of the pain and healed it, there is no need for painkillers. 

  Recently, a really muscular security guard in his mid twenties from Nepal (claim to be a karate black belt and body builder was gloating about breaking bricks /planks  with his bare hands) told me mockingly (Chinese soft soft, Nepalis strong strong) meaning  my flesh and muscle were soft and he was strong with big biceps. I smilingly asked him to poke at my soft tummy and then at the tiny soft fleshy area under my Adam's apple. He was surprised that the soft tissues suddenly hardened when he tried to push. The harder he pushed, the harder the flesh become. I wanted to push my index finger at his throat area but he ran off. As I am always loosened and relaxed, my flesh will always be soft like a baby. When someone poke or push me, then only will there be resistance. A former senior of mine claim one should be stiff all the time like in the hard qigong or martial arts (he was learning), which I totally disagree. If you are hard, if I were to punch you, you will definitely be seriously injured. If you are loosened, my punch will not be able to harm you as you move with the momentum. It is like hitting a balloon.  A punch will only make the balloon bounce away (unless the balloon is tie and fixed to a certain spot which will make it burst). A few days later, I met the same guard again and he requested my help on his sprained elbow/muscles (as a result of frequent body building training in the gym). Now all the security guards at that place know how strong I can be. 

The proper way of breathing is to breathe in through the nose. Hold it for 4 to 6 seconds and then very slowly exhale all the air from the belly for about six seconds for a start. You can later extend it to 12 seconds or even longer. This can help you build up your stomach muscles. It can also help to slow down your heat beat in tandem with your breathing. There are some people who can take some punches after learning this type of breathing.  Please be warned that you must also know how to cut off the pain before you try to take punches with your stomach. Obviously, many masters have techniques of receiving a hard punch. It is best for you to learn it under the proper guidance of a master. 

Proper Ready Stance Position

Before we begin, we must get into the right frame of mind by being quiet and relaxed. Shoulder slightly drooped and loosened. Buttock slightly tuck in like you are sitting on a bench. Hands by the side, legs slightly bend at shoulder width. The weight distribution is 60% on Yong Chuan and 40% on heel. Make sure the knees do not cover the toes. Use your Yi to focus on your Dan Tian. Please look at the picture below fot the correct stance.

DAN TIAN

BAI HUI + HUI YIN + YONG CHUAN (MID POINT) = 3 POINTS IN LINE

READY STANCE FOR QIGONG

1)   QUIET  (JING)

2)   RELAX AND LOOSEN (FANG SOONG)

3)   SHOULDERS AND CHEST SLIGHTLY DROOP (HAN )

4)   SINK CENTRE OF GRAVITY (CHEN)

5)   FOCUS ON DAN TIAN (YI ZAI DAN TIAN)

6)   3 POINT IN LINE

Proper Deep Breathing

Breathing is the most important aspect of qigong. With normal breathing, qigong becomes normal exercises. Many qigong and tai chi practitioners having 20 to 30 years of practicing still look very ordinary and cannot even feel qi. Yet many people learning the 1^st lesson from me can feel qi. Please take note of the following:

1)   All inhale is through the nose

2)   All holding of breath is 4 seconds to 6 seconds.

3)   Exhale can be by blowing through the mouth (which is water). For meditation purposes all exhale is through the nose with tongue on the palate (metal).

4)   For a start exhale should be at least 6 seconds. You can extend it to 12 seconds or longer when you progress at a later stage.

5)   Always follow the hold 4 seconds exhale 6 seconds and relax 4 seconds.

Breathing Exercises

                                      

Hands by the side                                            Lift hands to eye level

This is a very simple exercise which most Chinese martial artist and qigong practitioners take for granted. From your ready stance, lift both hands to eye level. Breathe in and hold for 4 to 6 seconds. Slowly blow out and in tandem bring your hands downward (as slow as possible) until there is no air in your belly.

Few people realize the importance of this exercise. This exercise can strengthen your lung and stomach muscles, slow down your heart beat, reduces stress, help recover faster from strenuous works and lots of other benefits. Whenever I am exhausted mentally or physically, I would do this exercise at least 6 times (9 times would be even better). See my video on Youtube Free Useful Qigong Lesson 1 - Loosening Exercises.

Loosening Exercises

Hand Twirling with wrists                                                       Hands bouncing up

  

                                                              Hands bouncing down

                   

Hands Loosening

First place the hands by the side and stance in the ready stance. Turn the wrists of your hands like you are trying to unscrew and re-screw a light bulb. When you are quite fluent with the hand movements, you can add the breathing (mentioned earlier) together with the hand movements.

Please note that there are 3 joints; 1) shoulder and upper arm; upper arm and lower arm; lower arm and palm. When you are really good you should be able to move all three joints simultaneously. The next exercise is to bounce your palms upward and downward together with the breathing. The next exercise is the exact opposite where you flip your palms downward and then upward together with the breathing.

Some people would tell me this is real basic stuffs any qigong and tai chi practitioner should know. Unfortunately it is harder than most people realize. Most people do the exercises with normal breathing. I have not seen any person other than my students who can move all the joints simultaneously. If you do these exercises daily, you might be able to be free from problems of the hands.

             

Lift your right shoulder and roll backward bringing it downward. This will automatically lift the left shoulder which you should also roll backward and downward.

Shoulders Loosening
You should be in the ready stance. If you do this exercise daily and correctly, you will have loosened shoulders and be free from shoulder problem. Do not use the muscle strength, the elbow or hand to roll the shoulders. Just imagine as if you do not have any hands. Just lift your right shoulder and roll it backward. This will automatically move your shoulder downward and lift up the left shoulder. Now roll your left shoulder backward. As your left shoulder move downward, lift your right shoulder and roll it backward. Repeat the exercise for at least 10 minutes. Please watch my Free Useful Qigong Lesson 2 - Shoulders Rolls on Youtube. Those who are good in this exercise would also have a head start over others trying to learn qigong. It is a very important exercise which people choose to neglect out of pure ignorance.

Feeling and Playing with energies (Standing Meditation)

When you stand in the sun, you automatically absorb the sun energies whether you want to or not. That is why you can feel sick after walking in the sun, a trip to a crowded area, a strong gust of wind and etc. When the energies are not required or at the right place such as the Dan Tian, you might get sick. To really harness the energies, you need to store it at the Tan Tien (2 to 3 inches below the belly).

Stand at the ready stance and hands by the side. We can try to feel the earth's magnetic field with our hands. If you cannot feel it, you may close your eyes for better focus. Learn to be loosened and relaxed (soong). The breathing for meditation is inhale and exhale through the nose. The tongue should be on the palate. Remember to use the hold 4 seconds exhale 6 seconds and relax (while breathing in) 4 seconds). You may start playing with them like pushing the two palms to meet each other and feel the palms repelling each other. This is due to our own magnetic fields.  Remember the more you play with it the better you will become.

After playing with your magnetic qi for 1 to 2 minutes, you may bring your laogong (the white spot area at the centre of your palms) to face each other. You may feel the energies interacting between the laogong of your palms. Some students may feel sensations on their palms such as vibratory flow, heat flow, blood flow, neuro chemical flow and magnetic flow. However please remember that we are all differently constituted and will have differing progress. Some may be able to learn it faster than others. However, overall mastery comes with the right mind (yi) and willpower. After you have done it for around 5 minutes (you can extend it up to half an hour if you wish). Please remember to save the energies at the Tan Tien by placing your hands there. You can then release any excess energies to the ground or the trees. You may watch Free Useful Qigong Lesson 3 - Playing with Qi (magnetic flow) on Youtube. This is a type of standing meditation

Checking your Progress

When you practice, choose a warm place and practice with your friends. With friends, people tends to learn faster. They try to outdo/ outlast each other making difficult tasks easier. Feeling of qi is a sign of progress. Lots of people cannot feel it at all. For the breathing exercises, make sure you are following it correctly. You need to master the loosening exercises and shoulder rolls by doing them at least 30 minutes each day. Remember the more effort you put in the more progress you make. If you have been practicing the shoulder roll correctly, your shoulders would feel light and loosened. This will allow your qi to flow unobstructed. If you are doing the loosening exercises correctly, your palms should be very red and fill with warm qi after the exercise. If you are doing the breathing correctly, you will have stronger lung and stomach muscles. You would also be less tiring and be more calm and patient. If you have master the playing with qi, you should be able to feel the magnetic flow allowing your centre of palms to repel each other. Obviously you should train harder .Do not drink cold water or take a cold bath immediately after qigong. Rest for at least 1 hour.

 

  

Meditation
As mentioned above, our mind is a very powerful tool provided we know how to use it. Coupled with a strong will, many seemingly impossible things might become possible to be performed. For instance it is not logical for Master Zhou to break a brick with just a piece of newspaper or John Chang (aka DJ) to light up the newspaper with just his qi. Master Zhou/Jo appeared in Ripley Believe It or Not and many other shows, was able to bring his hands' temperature to almost boiling point as recorded by a thermal camera. This is only possible when one has done lots of meditations enabling the Yin (negative) and the Yang (positive) qi to be integrated. It is the bio electricity in our body. One must always be loosened and relaxed to allow the blood and qi to flow unobstructed. For more on meditation please read my article on Meditation. You may also watch my videos  Aura Expansion (close up version) and Aura Expansion Meditation  on Youtube. Advanced practitioners might be able to expand their aura/energies to cover a certain area.



Fa Chi (Qi Emission)
Fa Chi is the art of emitting qi. This comprises of Yi (mind/will power/intent) to direct the Qi. The purpose of fa qi is to send the energies to stimulate another person such as in healing. The people in witch craft can also use it for evil purposes. You can fa chi with your palm, fingers, eyes and mind. But everything would be useless if not directed by a focused mind and a strong will (Yi). How can you feel the qi if you are doubting its existence? How can you see qi when your mind reject the possibility? Just as the fish in the water does not realize the importance of water, the man in the midst of qi does not realize the importance of qi. It is only when the fish is out of the water that the water becomes important. Similarly, a man cannot be without qi. When the oxygen does not reach the brain, we get a stroke and might even die. 

By right we should have sufficient Yin and Yang Qi to achieve an equilibrium. However some people have more Yang Qi and vice versa. That is why some people's palms are warm while others are cold. Those with cold limbs can do with a dose of Yang qi.
We can Fa Chi to give qi to another person who is deficient in Yang qi. Of course if you learn qigong you will also be able to build up your qi level. For a person with too much Yang qi, we can help reduce the Yang qi by making the person sweat and also pressing the respective meridian points.

As mentioned, qi emission is via the fingers, centre of palms (loa gong) and eyes directed by Yi (the mind and a strong will). In my videos Real Colorful Qi Emission Part 1 & 2, you see qi emissions from my hands. In Colorful Real Finger Tips Qi Emission, you see energies from my finger tips. These energies are all drawn from my Tan Tien (Qi Storage Area about 2-3 inches below the belly) and directed by my Yi (mind and will power). It is not uncommon for a person to yell out loud to help push a bigger amount of qi out. So you will also see his hand vibrating violently. They are people who see my video and advice me to relax. Thanks for the nice gesture but you cannot draw a great amount of energy without a big effort.
I have seen videos of people being affected by qi but honestly most of it have to be connected with YI (mind and strong will). I do believe that we can feel a master qi and to some degree be affected by it. Some people feel warm while other feel a tingling sensation. Kindly refer to my article on Internal Martial Arts for more on using qi to affects others. 

Qiball
Qiball is normally an imaginary ball because the qi is so light in color that most people will find it hard to see. Only with proper contrast and a large amount of qi can it be visible.
In order for one to be able to make a qiball, one has to first learn to feel qi and play with it. Use your mind to feel the qi. Close your eyes for better focus and relax. Place your hand in front of your stomach with the centre of the palms facing each other. In my Real Colorful Qiball, someone ask me how  to feel qi. There is a magnetic field in all of us. Do not be surprise when you close your eyes and let go of yourself, you can actually feel the qi repelling each other. It is a pleasant feeling. Some have tingling sensation on their hands. Do not be too excited as everyone has qi. Accept it as something normal and you will be able to progress faster. Keep playing with qi even when you are watching TV or talking to someone close (as outsider will normally consider you weird). The more you train to use qi, the more you are able to feel and see it. 

When you are sufficiently good at feeling and playing with qi, you can now start doing a qi ball. A qiball is round therefore you see in my video Real Colorful Qiball that I keep moving my hands in circles to keep the qi concentrated and round. Keep in mind that it does not matter whether you can see it or not. Even if you cannot see it, you can imagine it is there. The more you use your Yi (mind and strong will) the clearer will the qiball become. Seeing energies is not something that is easy to master. Some suddenly realise they can see energies when they started meditation. There are some who will never be able to see energies. Some students will never be able to make it because they are not willing to put in the efforts required. Half hearted attempts will only attract half hearted results. 

There was a 20 years old boy who locked himself in his room and started to do qiball when he realised his limbs could move on their own. He wrote to me to take back my energies as he only believe in Christ. I told him not to panic and calm down. I did not gave him any energy. Being impatient and trying to learn without the guidance of a master, he had inadvertently activated the autonomous free flow of qi . There are masters who charged several hundreds to thousands of dollars for such courses. Instead of being thankful, he actually accused me of witchcraft, devil, etc. Later he wrote to appologize and offer some token of appreciation which I rejected. Qigong is a non religious art of breathing and mind control. 

In my latest qiball video, The Ultimate Healing Qiball  you will be able to see it in the form of a Naruto's Rasengan. Of course it is not for killing anyone. I use it to heal my patients and help them overcome their health problems. 

Make sure you watch it on big screen on your computer or TV and you will definitely like it. It is the best qiball I have ever made. There is no other qiball like it. See the incredibly clear qi circulating in a qiball between my palms. I have not seen anything like this anywhere.

Lastly please learn it from someone who is qualified to teach.  If you are interested you can watch all my videos on Youtube in my channel  youtube.com/user/tffoo7

Chi, the Universal Energy

Chi the Universal Energy



What is Chi / Qi ?
Qi, Chi, ki, bio-magnetism or whatever name you call it, is an invisible energy which is available everywhere. Chi is loosely translated as energy, air bubble or breath. There are all kind of Chi in our body or around us such as yang chi, yin chi, primordial chi, stagnant chi and etc. It can be either cold or warm energy (yin or yang). Yin and Yang are the duality of the universe as a pair of opposite action/reaction opposing yet complementing each other as the male and female. We get chi from our surrounding. In the grave yards and the moon we get "yin chi" (negative chi). In the Sun we get "yang chi" (positive chi). The chi on its own is neither good nor bad. When we are weak and fail to control the chi resulting in an imbalance, we will become sick. But if we are able to control the chi and direct it at will, we will be able to perform healing on others (even from a distance). Chi in itself is neither good nor bad. It is only good or bad depending on how it is being used. Therefore the negative or positive chi is similar to the negative or positive in electricity. We cannot see it but we can feel it. Of course highly trained people can feel and see Chi. When water boils do we not see the steam rises from the boiling water? Similarly in a very hot day we can also see air bubbles coming out of the walls. In the toilet where the wall is often wet do we not see air bubble coming out of the wall? Of course advanced levels masters in Yoga and Qigong cam see less apparent energies which normal people cannot.


It doesn't exist because scientist cannot measure it?

Scientist can accept Quantum Theory and String Theory (as the mother of all theories) but it can only be proven correct mathematically. The theory talk about us having 10 copies of ourselves in other parallel universes. Of course it cannot be proven but it is the most perfect of all theories. If western scientists can accept so far fetch thoughts as the mother theory (which cannot be proven), I cannot see why they cannot accept chi. I know they would have to change lots of their theories but is it not better than believing in something more ridiculous like the String Theory?

Fish in the water is unable to feel the water (Yee Chai Sui Chung Kan Chieh Pu Tau Sui) , Human in the midst of Chi does not feel chi (Ren Chai Chi Chung Kan Chieh Pu Tau Chi). Fish need water (Yee Si Yau Sui), Human need chi to stay alive (Ren Si Yau Chi Lai sern Huo).

We can accept the electricity and even use it in our daily life yet no one can see electricity. Similarly, you use your car which run on fuel such as petrol. Your mobile phone need a battery to keep it running. Surely you do not expect your life to exist without a fuel/energy source such as chi. It is your parents' primordial chi that set up life for you. Without your parents, there can be no you. If you are to equate food as energy then fat people should be full of energy. How is it that fat people cannot run with so much energy in them? There is a limit to what our body can convert as energy. The rest is stored as fat.

There are many people with blocked blood supply causing the chi to be blocked as well. I have a colleague whose mother could not sleep for several days due to pain in her left shoulder and her fingers were stiff and cringed tightly together. She went to a clinic but the pain remain and no one including me have a clue. The area around her shoulder was swollen and painful to even light touch. I just massage her arm and hand to allow the blood to flow. I use my chi to stimulate her swollen shoulder. When she becomes more relaxed and the blood started to flow better then only I begin to massage the swollen areas. Before long her hand was already much better and no longer in pain. Upon questioning, I found out that she had a habit of leaning on that left shoulder whenever she sleep. I told her not to lean on that shoulder or she might get it blocked again.

While western medicine is good for curing certain diseases, it is hopeless against chi related illness.

Qi has its roots in Chinese Medical Science

Chinese medicine has been in existence for thousands of years. Traditional Chinese Medicine is based on the Viscera a general term for the internal organs (zhang fu). There are five yin viscera (zhang) and six yang viscera (fu). The five yin viscera are heart, lung, liver, spleen and kidney. The six yang viscera are gallbladder, stomach, large intestine, small intestine, bladder and triple warmer. The viscera are linked by meridian points (nadi for Indian) to help the body function. The Five Yin Viscera main characteristics are to generate and store chi. The Six Yang Viscera main characteristics are to receive and transport food and waste.

The Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM) is a system of healing based on Viscera incorporating the Five Element theory, Yin and Yang theory and the concept of Chi.

The Yin and Yang theory is the duality in nature as opposite and conflicting yet harmonious and attracting each other. The Chinese since more than 5000 years ago believe in the duality of nature. There is Man and Woman; the Sun and the Moon; the day and the night and etc. The man is by nature masculine while the female feminine. We cannot say which is better as everything in this world serves a purpose. In the ancient Chinese book Nei Ching states that “In Yin there is Yang and in Yang there is Yin”. The Chinese believe that in every male there is also some feminineness and in every female there is some maleness. The male force is called Yang and the female Yin. Accordingly, mankind is Yang and the underworld or ghost is Yin. Instead of using Yin or Yang, we can also substitute them with – (negative) or + (positive) as in electricity. In this context the negative element is the Yin element and the positive element is the Yang element. In the context of the body, the Yin Qi is at the perineum between the anus and the sex organ. The Yang Chi is stored at the Tan Tien about 2 inches below the belly. This positive and negative chi must be combined by way of meditation in order to gain access to a higher level of chi mastery.

In Traditional Chinese Medicine, a person’s Chi of both yin and yang must be in equilibrium in order for him or her to stay healthy. If a person has too much Yang Chi, he/she is short of Yin Chi (such as when a person has fever). The opposite can also happen (such as when a person got cold). At times, our body releases too much yang chi, could not sustain it, causing the fever to change into a cold and vice versa. At certain time our body produce certain type of chi and therefore affects our health when the chi is not in equilibrium.

Each of us has our own equilibrium Chi level above or below which we might fall sick. We cannot have too much chi or too little chi as this will make us unwell. Basing on this, I am inclined to think that as long as we decrease the chi level of those with too much Chi and increases the Chi for those in need for more Chi, most of the Chi related illness can be cured. Of course we must know where and how to add or subtract or else the patient might get worse.

Only in China can a surgery be performed without any form of anesthesia. In fact they used to talk to the patient who is fully conscious and can converse normally as if nothing is happening. All they do is poke some acupuncture needles on the meridian points relating to the areas they operate on, perform the operation and close the wound.

The Practical and Logical Path

God give us lots of tools to carry out our activities. It is we who limit ourselves by placing placing obstacles on ourselves. It is so much easier not to try to understand Chi (and you do not need to know what chi is). Human beings are very complex people who would fight over trifle matters. Yet the chi that has been the foundation of Chinese medicine is never place in high esteem. Most western educated people might not even accept its existence.

We are all born unequal. Some are born into wealthy families while other have to be contented to be just alive. Our fingers are never of the same length. If it were of the same length we would probably not able to use them. Each of us are given different abilities and roles in life. Not everyone can be a president, a doctor and etc. Our destinies are never the same. Some are bound to achieve greatness while others are hardly noticed in the ocean of humanity.

Yoga masters, Chi Kung masters, Martial Arts masters and healers have cultivated chi to quite high levels. However, many of them do have all kind of health problems. How is it possible you may ask. It is simple, learning chi to a high level does not guarantee you perfect health. A master must also learn to look inward and learn to give up worldly possessions. Automatically you have less needs. A sexy girl is another human being. Food all look the same as you eat only what your body requires. Even I cannot eat much due to the large amount of chi circulating around the Tan Tien and the belly. I can eat one meal per day and still wondering why my tummy is so full. At times I would like to eat but I can resist them since there is no need for me to eat for the sake of eating. If a grandmaster cannot control himself of such greed, he will suffer like normal people. We choose the appropriate response and consequently pay for our follies with our own life.

Then there is this tale of a Malay spiritual master teaching his students to walk across a river. He taught his students some mantras telling them to have faith and everything would turn out fine for them. So the students went to the river to practice and all the students managed to cross the river without getting wet. Finally the master himself try to cross the river but got himself wet. The thing with some masters are they taught things they themselves does not believe in. The students' faith in their masters enable them to achieve what their master cannot.

Many of these masters can do seemingly impossible acts such as pulling a Boeing 747 with his hairs, have a double deckers bus run over his body and etc. In Taiwan, there are people who trained their penis to be able to withstand / lift up weights of hundreds of kilos. Some are even able to pull a bus filled with passengers. It is another version of chi kung (Chiew Chiew Sern Kong also known as 99 Chi Kung ). These things take lots of years of training and mind control. It is certainly not for ordinary people.

Normal people cannot see energy. If we have never heard of ABC how the hell would we be able to read or write in English. Similarly, if our mind have never being conditioned, we would not be able to perform any kind of visualization or meditation. Some people give the impression that such things are sacred and mysterious. If magician do not practice their hands regularly, their acts would easily being seen through by the audiences. If we do not practice the mind, the mind will not be able to respond to our instruction.

Of-course not all these masters are genuine. Many of the claims pertaining to kundalini yoga and the exercises that provide you with eternal youth are all over exaggerated. We will all get older whether you do "fountain of youth" exercises or not. Look at the swarmi, none of them ever get younger. If they are ninety years old, they would probably look around 80 years old. They cannot be looking like 40 years old. Similarly the claims of achieving psychic abilities by the activation of the kundalini shakti (fictitious dormant serpent at the base of the spine) is not true or so simple (at least not for me). There are also claims of appearing more attractive to the opposite sex which I personally doubt it. There are people who practiced Yoga for twenty to thirty years yet still have asthma. I had running nose, dermatitis induced psoriasis and cold hands even with all my chakras opened more than 20 years ago. Please refer to my article on How I heal myself of incurable diseases. The chakras are opened but the internal organs were extremely weak. 

There are "masters" who take advantages of those most in need of help. Some masters claim cure for all illness and ask for legal documents with lawyers where a big portion of your properties would be given to him when you happen to get cured. These are scavengers not human! Then there is the famous Chakra Alam Grand Master Ustad Arif which was exposed by a magician name Randy on the Korean Television. He claimed that his Chi was so strong that the test pen lighted up. There are several types of test pen. The sensitive type will light up regardless whether you have lot of chi or not. He would also roll an egg on the body of the patient. When he opened the egg, there is traces of blood either red or black. The trick here was to insert color dye in the egg before he rolled the egg. Then there is the lighting of a long fluorescent tube with his chi. The trick here is the wearing of a slipper inserted with an electrical device capable of emitting low dosage of electricity. With due respect to Ustad Arif, I am sure he is a good martial artist and have high healing abilities but using magic tricks to cheat patients and give them false hope is unethical. I have watched several videos on Youtube where the masters can create fire to burn newspapers with just mastery of chi. There are also masters who can create heat almost to the boiling point. You can watch them at youtube.com/user/tffoo7.


Similarly there are people who practiced Chi Kung / Tai Chi Chuan for over thirty years and yet achieved nothing significant. I have heard of grand masters getting heart diseases and all sort of ailments. Of-course they can only blame themselves for not doing enough exercises and eating excessively /unhealthily. People come to learn Yoga /Chi Gong to get healthy. The instructor /master would always ask people to be dedicated yet these masters cannot resist woman, wine and food. In this context I do not say we must abstain from sex or food but be moderate in everything. The Chinese have always taken the middle path knowing too much or too few of anything is not good. Even at my level I can understand why Buddhist monks can survive on one meal per day. It can only mean the master cannot resist the temptation of good food etc. It is self discipline. Then there are masters who try to get famous by doing highly dangerous things such as pulling a busload of passengers with the penis, pulling a Boeing 747 with his hair and being run over by a double deck bus weighting 9.3 ton. Some might never recover from their performances. From the outside there seem to be not a scratch but we do not know the pain such people endured in the name of mastery of chi. Likewise the western scientist would advocate jogging, walking and lot of exercises. Doctors are perplexed by the death of an Indian marathon runner in his forties with no bad habit. Then there are people who get injured playing tennis, badminton etc. Even people who does not know how to jog properly can get injured. You must have a proper running surface and suitable running shoes for such surfaces. Therefore things are not as simple as we think it is.


Do not question the existence of chi, work hard and you will be able to get to feel it. It is more mental than muscle. I might be a novice in chi gong but I am ahead of many people because I have more than 25 years in Yogic meditation. I have many masters with exceptional abilities. I have trained very hard, much harder than most students. My instructor thought it was impossible for me to become good in chi gong. He used to tell me I was doing it the opposite way. Recently he told the class that as long as your chi moves, the movements are not important. This means you must be able to use your Yi (mind/will power) to direct the chi which is exactly what I have been doing. Do not think a UK trained accountant will accept anything my masters tell me. In fact I am very sure some of the advices from them try to scare me and might be a good advice for beginner. For instance I was told giving chi to others is not good as you might not have any chi left. His assistant also tell me how she gave chi to her grand mother for only 5 minutes and she was exhausted. I have been a chi healer for more than 20 years and have healed all types of people from baby to old people. Some patients took a lot out of me but I always recovers after a short nap or meditation. I know more about handling and releasing chi than most normal people. Most people are unaware that we absorbed each other's chi even though there is no contact. Chi moves around freely and unobstructed. It is energy and therefore no touch is necessary. Therefore it is possible to affect others without them realizing it. While chi is everywhere, the chi from a novice and a master are different. A master can accumulate lots of chi and has better ability to use them. The body's internal organs' natural functions is to generate and store chi for the six Yang viscera to use. A novice's chi is quite basic and he does not even know how to gather or use the chi. Similarly, mastering chakra meditation as in Yoga does not guarantee you are healthy. In fact with so much chakras activated, it is like a generator functioning well but the homes that it is suppose to supply electricity to are in the dark due to the faulty connection between the generator and the homes. Similarly, the chakras are activated but the internal organs and meridians are all not functioning properly. How do you explain 20 over years of chakra meditation and yet infected with all kinds of incurable diseases diagnosed by specialists/ doctors who does not have any clue on how to cure them. It only took me less than 2 years to get these diseases permanently cured without the need for medicine. Please refer to my earlier articles on How I heal myself with chi part 1 & part 2. I also become stronger mentally and spiritually. I noticed that I can become stronger if I incorporate my chi in whatever I do. For instance I also try experimenting it with my friends and staffs like a normal handshake. Without the knowledge of using chi I probably would not be able to defeat people with arms twice that of mine and half my age. With chi, nobody would want to try because I make a big dent in their hands and also their pride. Many people half my age and have lower arms twice that of mine cheated by sinking their thumb nail onto the back of my palm. Or how do you explain how my soft palm is able to squeeze the hell out of most people who are not only younger and more muscular than me? It is just being able to use chi.  I have also heal many people with just warm water and my chi therapy.
