Don’t Take Up a Tai Chi / Qigong Lesson Until You’ve Read This… Lifelong Health and Vitality, and Freedom
from Stress! Health is Wealth You’ve heard it again and again, “Health is Wealth.” Without health, you can have all the money in the world and you still won’t be able to enjoy it. And health, or the lack of it, is a big problem today. We’re living longer, but we’re also getting sicker. We have more advanced medicines, but they are very expensive and give lots of undesirable side-effects. We have advanced surgery methods that don’t do the job. Although we’re more health-conscious, it seems that whatever we do doesn’t seem to work. We read in the papers of super-fit athletes who suddenly drop down and die of heart attacks. We constantly hear of people who exercise regularly and eat healthily but still get cancer. We know cancer patients who are declared free of cancer but it comes back five years later. So what exactly can we do to enjoy excellent health and achieve healing from our illnesses and diseases? Each day, growing volumes of research show evidence that you, I, your neighbour next door and everyone else on earth have a hidden source of massive healing power. This source is called the healing system. For centuries, ancient cultures have known the human body’s amazing abilities to heal and repair itself. Our healing system is in-charge of healing whatever harm that is done to us by injuries or illness, and then restoring it to optimum condition. Is it then any wonder why the Bible describes that we are “fearfully and wonderfully made”? Our healing system consists of our vital energy. The Chinese call it qi. The Japanese call it ki. Whatever you call it, when this vital energy flows unimpeded through the body it can get rid of dangerous cells and repair any damaged ones in the body, not to mention rejuvenate the healthy ones as well. Do you know that modern science has shown that the smallest, tiniest living organism in the body, the cell, is actually powered by energy? Centuries ago when there is no such thing as modern science, the ancients have already said that the body is made up of energy, and today, modern science is only beginning to prove it right. Everything is energy. When you eat, energy is used to digest your food. When you move, energy is used to power your muscles. Even when you think, energy is used up. And when you’re ill, energy is used to fight your illness, repair your cells and restore you to good health. It thus makes perfect sense that to give yourself the best possible health you need to increase the vital energy in your system. Now, your healing system is more powerful than cancer. It is more powerful than diabetes. It even slows down the aging process. If you’re battling any illness or stress now, your healing system is working doubly hard to reestablish balance and order in your body. This ties in completely with ancient wisdom that an imbalance in the body’s vital energy allows illness and disease to affect us. Boosting the Healing System Tai Chi and Qigong are ancient Chinese arts specifically designed to boost the circulation of qi around the body. When the vital energy is flowing unimpeded, the healing system is free to do its work to heal and keep you in excellent health. The healing reputation of Tai Chi and Qigong is well-known. Stacks upon stacks of scientific and medical research prove the healing benefits of Tai Chi and Qigong. All you need is to perform these simple exercises every day and that’s all, nothing more. The body will automatically increase its healing system and the healing system will automatically do its job. It’s that simple. To put it another way, whatever ailment we have will disappear when our healing system is in order. Chinese medicine teaches that our healing system will not support a disordered condition, be it cancer, diabetes, heart disease, high blood pressure, whatever. Dis-ease is nature’s way of telling us that something is wrong. We do not have a problem to solve. What we do have is we have been making mistakes in the way we are treating our healing system. To correct this mistake we have we re-order our healing system. Once the healing system is restored, any dis-ease we have cannot remain. It’s that simple. In fact, done correctly, Tai Chi and Qigong will teach you how to: - Really relax and get rid of stress. - Pump your qi throughout your body smoothly. - Drain your lymphatic system of all toxins in the body. - Develop good posture and let the ground support you. - Let your skeletal structure do its job and minimise muscular tension. - Most importantly, use your mind to activate your healing system This Website This website is my medium through which I share what I know about the health & healing effects and methods of Tai Chi and Qigong, in particular Tai Chi. I’ll also share some health & healing tips from outside the Tai Chi field. Although Tai Chi can be the only thing you need for good health, but the fact is that in today’s world, we hardly have the time nor discipline to practise it like the old masters did, so we need every help we can get from anywhere and everywhere to help us keep disease and illness at bay. Periodically I’ll send out these tips via email to my students and friends. I’ll also put them up here. So please come back regularly to check on updates. Or, if you prefer, drop me an email to get on my list so that I can email the tips to you too. Final Words If you’re sick of getting sick and nothing else seems to work for you in your pursuit for health and healing, I strongly encourage you to give Tai Chi / Qigong a try. However, whatever exercises you pick up, the key to success is still practice! You can learn all the exercises to boost your healing system but nothing will work if you don’t actually practise them. If you practise as instructed, and depending on your existing condition, do not be surprised to find noticeable changes to your health in as little as 3 days. If you don’t practise, then there is no way anyone can help you. It is like giving you a treasure map, taking you to where X marks the spot, but you don’t bother to start digging! You don’t have to practise hours per day. No, all you need is half an hour each day. You must actually practise in order to see the results. And no, there is no such thing as cramming everything into 10 minutes a day like what the popular magazines and books promise the public. Sorry, those who promise that are merely people who are appealing to the human being’s inherent laziness to get results with no effort. In fact, no respectable Tai Chi / Qigong master or teacher I know has ever been able to get results without putting in time and effort. Yes, I know, we’re all busy people, but then, look around you. Anyone and everyone who is a success in their chosen field, be it sports or business, all spent time to practise and hone their skills, and the experts all estimate that it takes thousands of hours of diligent practice to become good in something, no matter what the field of expertise is. So, if a person cannot set aside time for his health and healing, then it only goes to show how important health is to that person. It also doesn’t matter how ill you may be today. Unless you’re already on your deathbed, otherwise it is not too late to achieve health and healing. As long as you set in motion the chain of events necessary to stimulate your healing system you will be able do something for your health and healing. As long as you are alive, you have healing power. The only exception is if you are already so terminally ill that you’re going to die anyway no matter what we do. If not, as long as you practise the exercises as instructed, the healing system will be boosted up automatically. You don’t even need to know or understand how or why it does. Think about it. Researchers agree that stress is the cause of more than 90% of all the illnesses and diseases we suffer today. Get rid of stress, and we get rid of 90% of our illnesses and diseases. What is stress? Stress is simply tension. Get rid of tension and we get rid of stress. Simple. However, doing it successfully is another matter. Most people can claim they are relaxed, but put it to the test and we find out that we’re not relaxed enough by Tai Chi / Qigong standards. Being relaxed is not just a physical thing, but also mental, psychological and spiritual (in the non-religious sense). When we have truly let go of tension, then we can say we have stress relief, we don’t get sick, our body’s natural healing system kicks into place to get rid of our illnesses and diseases, and very importantly, our aging process will be slowed down. Ever wondered why the Tai Chi / Qigong masters always lived beyond 80, 90 or even 100 years, and passed away without illness or disease? This is why I strongly believe that Tai Chi / Qigong can solve the world’s health problems. Tai Chi and Qigong have always been practical and very scientific disciplines, nourishing and nurturing the mind and body of practitioners. In that sense, it is the most unique pursuit in personal empowerment throughout the ages and still remains a most exciting personal pathway to greater fulfillment. You can get rid of stress… You can get rid of your illnesses… You can enjoy excellent health and vitality… You can prime your healing system for tip-top performance… … for life! It’s only a matter of
taking that step towards a complete rejuvenation of your health. If you have any more questions, please contact me here. “The Perfect Exercise.” –
