Master Chunyi Lin: Seven hours later when I pick myself up, a miracle happened.
The swelling in my knees completely went away.
Master Chunyi Lin: By working with the qi you're working with the manager of the body
you know so you can help yourself to heal the body faster and more completely.
Master Chunyi Lin: Our body was programmed to move and when you move you help the qi
flow.
Master Chunyi Lin: It will help you to transform any energy blockages, any problems in the
body into something beautiful in healing.
Master Chunyi Lin: So that's what qigong about.
Master Chunyi Lin: Qigong.This is a Chinese word and qi means energy.
The energy or the force with the intelligence.
Gong means work.
Put it together and Qigong is a Chinese, the ancient Chinese scientific studies of the
force, of intelligence, the force with intelligence in our body and the Universe and how to use
this force with the intelligence to get all the aspects of benefits of and in
within us and in the Universe.
Now make it simple.
Now qi, this is a completely different system than what you are talking about energy.
When you talk about energy, energy like the light, electricity, and water the wind, right.
So you have all these different forms of energy.
But these forms of energy don't have intelligence.
Let me just ask you something very simple.
If there's a broken thing in the wire, in your electricity system in the house, can
the electricity fix the broken wire by itself?
No, right.
Very, very obviously you need to have a mechanic to come in.
But if there is an energy blockage in the body, in the veins and arteries and in the
meridian system, you know what?
The qi can help it to fix itself.
Master Chunyi Lin: So the qi flows in in the meridians and these meridians sometimes work
parallel with the veins and arteries.
Sometimes it comes across, maybe above, maybe under, the veins and arteries.
Sometimes it simply just penetrates the veins and arteries
and without making any physical connection.
But just simply, invisibly, penetrate that veins and arteries.
And this qi system to me in my study and my understanding is just like the
semiconductive chip in your computer.
And now it has the power and intelligence to monitor the qi, the energy flow in the
body.
And it knows exactly where you need to fix the blockage, you need to make the blood flow
better and so it has a lot of great wisdom there.
So in Chinese medicine people already, no matter who you are, people agree with this.
Blood and qi, these are the most important things in our body.
Besides the organs.
But between the blood and the chi, the qi governs the blood flow.
So, what, by working with the qi you can help to make sure the blood flows properly to a
certain direction in the body and also it will help you to transform any energy
blockages, any problems in the body into something beautiful in healing.
And you can fix it in time.
So that's the power of qi.
So what you do in qigong practice, you activate this intelligence of the energy of the force
in the body to help you to clear any, any wrong information in the body so that all
the systems are working properly and make a good balance.
Yin and Yang balance in the body, so that the body heals.
So that's why by working with the qi you're working with the manager of the body you know
so you can help yourself to heal the body faster and more completely.
So that's what qigong about.
Master Chunyi Lin: I had arthritis in my knees and had bone spot in my lower back and neck
and lot of pain.
I tried everything, nothing really worked.
Sometimes it worked a little bit, for instance, when I did like injection or acupuncture.
It worked for a few days, but when the pain came back, it became even worse.
So one day when my colleague and friend told me there was a qigong master coming to town
and that was 40 years ago.
And people said just by sitting in his conference practicing the techniques, qigong techniques
he told us and you could literally help you to heal your very challenging illnesses or
problems.
Master Chunyi Lin: So I went into that conference which was held in a soccer field.
There's already, had a few thousands of people sitting on the dirt ground.
The conference started, actually, it was a workshop, started around noontime and it lasted
until 7: 30 in the evening.
So, I follow this master's guidance to practice and then on a sudden I feel this qi coming
into my body.
And also started from my body to radiating throughout my entire body.
And then I had all the reactions, we call qi reactions, in my knees, in the lower, back
in the upper back and all over the body.
And seven hours later when I pick myself up, miracle happened.
The swollen in my knees completely went away.
And the pain in my knees and the lower back and neck, eighty percent gone.
I was so happy.
I was able to jump to, to walk, pain-free.
And so I continued to practice what I learned
from him for another two more months.
To my great, great surprise my suicidal depression also went away.
Master Chunyi Lin: Lots of people said you know when you want to do healing on yourself
simply just do meditation.
So, that is not true.
And meditation is powerful and please don't misunderstand me, but the physical part of
the body is also important too.
The body has Yin and Yang.
Yin means is something you don't see, right.
That's the meditation part.
The physical part, that is the Yang part.
That's how the body works.
So you, the body get sick, that means the Yin and the Yang are out of balance.
So in Qigong practice, you need to bring this Yin and Yang back to balance too, through
the qigong movements.
The Qigong movements you honor the formation of the body.
And for ins for instance, if you have a bleeding nose, the bood comes out from the
right side of the nose, you put up your, I mean the left side of the nose, you put up
your right hand and stay there for a few seconds, the bleeding stops.
If a blood comes out from the other side, you put up your left hand above your head
and the same thing happens.
So, well, of course, if the blood comes up from both of your nodules and you can put
up your hands above your head, and the bleeding stops.
Master Chunyi Lin: Our body was programmed to move and when you move, you help the qi
flow.
And if you don't move, you sit all the time meditate, actually, you overuse the mental
energy that will weaken your digestive system.
That's why a lot of people who do long, long, long, long meditations without physical movement,
many, many of them got diabetes.
Because that weakened the stomach energy
Master Chunyi Lin: So this is a very, very important reason we need to do the movement.
