medicine has not yet discovered. When<br />
people do Qigong for the first time,<br />
they are often surprised to see their fingers<br />
pulsate <strong>and</strong> fill up with blood. The<br />
warmth people feel in the navel is also<br />
from the increased blood flow.<br />
You speak about<br />
euphoric highs that<br />
can be attained from<br />
breathing techniques.<br />
What is the value of<br />
this in practical, real-world terms<br />
Everyone wants to feel good. Alcohol transforms our mental<br />
state, but also destroys the liver. Qi has no side effect,<br />
except making you feel full of vitality. Its highs are beyond<br />
words. Sometimes the qi will vibrate throughout our body<br />
in such a blissful way as to feel we are being touched by<br />
God, all without chemicals or manmade products that cost<br />
money. The qi being free, abundant, right under our nose<br />
makes it the ultimate ally to rise above life’s obstacles.<br />
Once you get the hang of the breathing techniques, there<br />
comes the ability to have a natural high anytime. Sometimes<br />
euphoria is so profound that it can erase negative emotional<br />
patterns presently going on. The ability to drop bad<br />
qi quickly trains the student to be without heavy emotional<br />
vibrations.<br />
Can you give a brief<br />
overview of the Qi<br />
Revolution seminar<br />
People generate energy in graceful Qigong<br />
routines. The entire audience feels<br />
a profound electromagnetic qi energy<br />
in its h<strong>and</strong>s. In addition to movements,<br />
spine-tingling breathing techniques are<br />
employed, yoga, food-healing principles<br />
from naturopathic medicine, <strong>and</strong><br />
an extraordinary healing-breath-prayer<br />
circle. The seminar gives the ultimate<br />
“activation” to one’s internal energy.<br />
Once the c<strong>and</strong>le has been lit (a metaphor for overflowing<br />
the qi energy center or “dan tien”), it is easy to maintain its<br />
radiance. Simply practice Qigong. All ages <strong>and</strong> fitness levels<br />
can participate.<br />
