Firstly, it's "qi gong." There are many styles of qi gong. Wild Goose (Dayan), Dust Washing (Xichen), Heaven and Sky(Jiyi), Diamond(Jingang), Arhat(Luohan), Five Animal Play(Wuqinxi), Eight Brocade(Baduanjin), Carefree(Xiaoyao), etc., to name a few. Some are simple with only one posture, some are complex that even dictate sleeping patterns and eating habits. No one knows all of qi gong and none ever will. Even Taichi is considered a moving qi gong practice. What do you want to learn it for and how much time can you devote to it each day are the main questions. Liang Shouyu in Vancouver, Canada teaches some qi gong. He's pretty famous but I don't know how good he is first hand though. Checking out some his books may shed some light on whether he's stuff is for you.

No i don't do Shui Chiao but i practise Wing Chun. But i am wanting to study more of a grappling art such as yours. Or maybe chin na. But preferably Judo. I feel in a combat scenario people with a more grappling based art are more likely to come of well. You didn't mention whether you did Shui Chiao. Or whether you were just looking for a teacher. May i suggest something if you are looking for a teacher. Buy Robert W Smiths Chinese Boxers Masters & Methods. In there he states that Shui Chiao resembles an early ju-jitsu. And he had a test with a Taiwanese wrestler and won. And would have won easier if they hadn't restricted the moves he learn't in Judo. I know it doesn't sound as cool. But Judo sounds like a really effiecient type of fighting. Plus the conditioning is really intense. I work with a guy who was a big deal in Judo and he is really tough. Just thought i might let you know.

I asked a similar question a few weeks ago and really got very little feedback. Chech out my Q&A.\nbut as far as I know it is a peaceful practice, based on meditation and universal peace...which makes the whole question all the more bizarre!!!!\ngoogle for more info.\nThe Chinese government is communist therefor information is tightly restricted!!\nWithin China the Fulon Gong support has grown to outnumber the support offered the Communist party., Thus threatening the strength of the party.\nApparantly the attacks on Fulon Gong members are horrific.\nThere was a report in a recent news paper about Labor?/rehabilitation camps in China, where Fulon Gong and other "Prisoners of Conscience" were being held for short periods of time and then used for the harvesting of organs, for commercial use. The apparant profit of which goes in part to the government.. the called it in the article "factory of spare parts"!!!!! I will try to find the article and send you on details if you areinterested.\nI was sick to my stomach when i read this!\nTrying to find information over the web is very difficult!! the only thing i can suggest is to find local organisations in your area! You will be amazed by what you discover through them.\nThe Boston Information number is (978) 994 4234\nAlso you could join Amnesty international...and even though there is not much info available there either...by posing questions you can show your support for publicising and addressing the situation in China more thoroughly.\nP.s. I am also just an everyday person who having read a very disturbing article tried to follow up on the onfo and see what i could find out.

I practice acupuncture. My biggest disappointment in acupuncture practice is that nothing happens. I've never had a patient get worse after treatment. \n\nSome people are just not candidates for acupuncture. I also practice chiropractic, kinesiology, nutrition and clinical homeopathy - so I pride myself in finding the most effective treatment for each person and their needs. If all you acupuncturist does is needle, then the saying goes - if all you have is a hammer, then eveything looks like a nail.\n\nIn my clinical opinion, the most ignored back pain issues are dietary needs (too much sugar and/or caffeine in the diet and/or too much  cortisol/adrenal response by the body) and mental/emotional stresses. Research these topucs - the 30-30-40 Zone Diet by Barry Sears, the use of systemic enzymes like Wobenzym N on an empty stomach (caution: do not take if you have GERD or stomach issues) and dealing with subconscious mental/emotional issues, as discussed by Dr. Sarno in 'Healing Back Pain' and the 'Mind Body Prescription'.

*SIGH*  It's amazing how twisted people's views are on telekinesis... \n1. You say: No one can move things with their mind and modern science agrees.\nThis is a pretty broad one. The thing that made me think twice about it was the experiences of others. Just me here, telling you that I have personally seen it in action, should spark a little something. If you do a search on the Internet, there are a lot of message boards and sites dedicated to "psychic" stuff. Why would there be such a huge thing about it if it was all fake? Can people be really that dumb (heh, don't answer that )? Seriously, you're trying to say that there is a scientific explanation for everything out there? No way... There is a lot that science can't explain. Also, are you saying that every person who has had a TK experience is crazy or it was some weird coincidence? I don't think so. Sure, you got your crazies out there who don't know what, and I'm positive there's a couple fictional stories out there, but every one? Eh, chances are slim. There is something going on we can't explain it. You have to admit that.\n\n2. You say: Physics says it's impossible.\nPhysics. Hmmmm. Ever hear of Quantum Physics? It's the study of energy and how it gets around. Pretty interesting stuff... but not explored fully yet. Plus there's the magnetism theory for TK. Basically, electric magnets are stronger than normal magnets. Guess what our brain is? Yep, electrical impulses. Can you see the connection? Plus there have been studies (just do a search, you'll find them) - baby chicks have used micro-TK to affect the outcome of a RNG (random number generator) so the light (guided by the RNG) would be close to them, keeping them warm. Maybe common sense at first says it's impossible, but if you look close - it's not really that far fetched.\n\n3. You say: Maybe it is possible, but then it's a freak of nature and only happens with gifted people. \nHeh. Yeah, maybe. All I can say is that I have taught people who have asked me and I taught myself. If it is only possible through "mutants" then I guess I'm a mutant along with anyone else who was taught by me. Hmmm, if we're so rare, that's an amazing coincidence .\n\nAs you can see, there are a lot of angles to take. Be logical - and have an open mind. Read about experiences of others online and go into chats and ask around. Try Yahoo chat - under the Religion category there is a "Paganism" room - check it out. Sometimes we have meetings in #psipog for all you IRC users (any austnet server).

Tai Chi like most martial arts has gone through a series of evolutions and changes.  The more recent history of taijiquan has taken what was once a very effective form of martial art and turned it into merely a form of exercise for some.  \n\nThe short forms came about as a way of introducing the basics of the various forms (Chen, Yang, etc.) to the general public.  The idea was to make the whole of the form easier for beginners to learn.  For example, I believe the Yang style long form contains 108 postures and was altered by Yang Cheng-fu removing the vigorous fajing movements to the slow moving form most know today to accentuate the health benefits.  A student of his, Cheng Man Ching who lived in New York City, introduced this form of the art to America and shortened it to a 37 posture form by removing certain postures and repetitive movements from the longer form of his teacher.  Both men's efforts were to make the art more available to the average person.    \n\nOther styles of taijiquan have developed short forms for similar reasons.  Unfortunately, some of these efforts have only served to "waterdown" the art.\n\nAs to which form most Chinese do daily....  Don't know.  But there aren't just two forms (long and short), there are many various styles of the art as well.  \n\nIf you're looking to begin learning, I suggest you look for a teacher who's focus is both on the health and the combative elements of the art.

I suggest seriously looking into Sherman College of Straight Chiropractic. Its in South Carolina.\n\nAmong everything else, it still focuses on the philosophy of chiropractic... and that's essential to understanding the ideas behind it as well as how to get the most for your patients!\n\nSchools like Palmer have lost a lot of the philosophy side and go a lot on just their name at the moment, so I wouldn't recommend it.\n\nAlso.. pay no attention to the above answer... anyone who calls it chiropracty obviously has no idea what they're talking about!

I like this one I heard about the watch. If you found a watch on a rock in the middle of a field, how do you know someone made it? If you are like most these days, you'd point to the manufacturing mark on the back (or inside the cover if it was a pocket watch). So, how do you find proof of God or the Mother Goddess? If she is a creator wouldn't she continue to create? What on earth continues to create through a means which they really don't fully control? Life of course. So, we ourselves are the watch. Now what about ourselves proves that there must be an intelligent creator? Maybe our own intelligence (or lack there of at this moment in history) and maybe own uncanny ability to 'hear' inner wisdom. This wisdom has led many to extraordinary things. So, I disagree with Carl (Goddess I never thought I'd ever do that) that claiming the existence of Goddess is extraordinary. I have seen her work miracles in countless lives and there is record (yes, verifiable record) of millions more. I think the real miracle of this age isn't in finding Goddess, but in realizing how common she really is. Just as common as every watch still built with a crystal movement. I'm sorry, I think it is a small miracle that a tiny quartz crystal would be willing to vibrate that regularly so that we can all keep time.

I do believe they have a lot of credit to them.  I have done reiki and other healings for many years.  The most amazing thing I have seen was when reiki was used to fix a person's broken hand, which was documented by x-ray.  A reiki master, in front of me, did his healing for about 2 hours and at the end, he could move his fingers to the point the nurse order another x-ray and this one showed he had no broken bones in his hands.  SO yes reiki may not always have these huge miracles but it does usually help many illnesses.\n\nFor crystals i have accounts from doctors in worcester ma hospitals who have seen some very effective results when crystals were used alone and with other sources.  The one that stands out the most is this woman who just lost her son or daughter I forget, anyways the doctor gave her a piece of crystal and left her alone, after 2 hours, instead of sobbing her head out she was manageable to talk too and felt a lot better and she attributed it to the crystal.\n\nThen of course there is straight herbal healing which I think combines both scientific with folk remedies to produce very effective cures.  I use the nurses guide to herbs, which is college level to train them in herbs but then again that is the best resource to use. hope this helps

Yes!  I've gone through all the DVDs, CDs and the manual.  When I was first learning it, I thought, "This has got to be the silliest thing I've ever looked into." I get migraines and I do EFT every time I feel one coming on.  It works very well!  I haven't had to take my migraine medicine for a few months now.  I try if for Everything.  I get pretty darn good results.\n\nFeel free to email me about this.

Please let me know if he actually gets to learn to play the guitar from a book. I´d like to learn as well but have no much time and I have an erratic shcedule that won't allow me to take lessons.(P.S. You must really love your husband to be willing to endure constant headaches for the next few months; my wife would probably recommend I take painting lessons instead)

I was in rehab for 6 months and my working with the horses got me thru.  Made friends with the ladies running the program and  actually moved in with one of them for 3 years.  Any kind of work with horses is awesome.  Thru my years here I'm seen the benfits.  Not only with me and the gang I went through rehab with but also with physical, mental and emotional issues.  We had a woman that had a stroke and very little range of motion when she first started coming.  The last time I saw her she was able to stand with assistance in the stirrups.  I've seen the calming effects on austic kids and kids with adhd and how a 30 minutes session with the horses and all the animals out there and with some turoing how much calmer and more attentive they were.  And then to seen their grades inmprove.  There are programs out there that are really good.  Contact me at jleblanc904@yahoo if you want to chat some more and maybe I can but you in touch with my friends for their experiences.

whoa! that was wierd and a bit stinky. but seriously, tai ju kwon is one of the 7 schools of tae kwon do that were started after WWII. before WWII japan had taken over korea and killed all of its master after rapping the style Tae kwan (one of the main styles in korea at that time) and calling it karate. after training the koreans in this flawed style to fight in their WWII the few korean masters in japan returned home to rebuild thier lost style. many dissagreed with the countries ideals of what taekwondo should be. because of this the masters went off and started their own schools (all of them i can't remeber but some are tai ju kwon, chi gong kwon, moo duk kwon, and sum jul kwon [kwon means school bye the bye]). it wasn't till the 70's did korea unify these styles into taekwondo under four federations. kta(korean taekwando asso.) wtf (world taekwando fed.) ata (american taekwando asso.) Ita (international taekwando asso.). but many still reconize the original schools like the one you mentioned.

I went through the Silva Mind Control course 35 years ago. I was in grad school, learning artifial intelligence, very skeptical of belief systems, wanting to know if ESP was possible or only a hoax. So I got interested when I saw an ad for a course that guaranteed you'd have an ESP experience or your money back. The course took 4 days, and on the 4th day, I was tested and answered specific questions that I could not possibly know the answer to. In one case, I knew the answer 20 minutes before the test was given! I was not interested in the self-improvement aspects of the course, which seem similar to other systems of meditation. I used the techniques after the course and achieved similar results. It is tough to accept ESP with a scientific mind, but it's either that, or some amazing ability to communicate through subliminal gestures and through time. I recommend the course.
