Kuan Yin Healing Exercise

The above painting is of Kwan Yin the Chinese Goddess of Mercy. A small copy of this painting
was given to me by my first chi kung teacher, Master Hilton Tam about sixteen years ago. I have spent a lot of time with Kwan Yin or Quan Yin since then. I have tried to give all my sincere students, copies of this Kwan whenever possible.
I tell my students and friends that this Quan Yin card is not about religion or worship. It is a medicine picture that can be very helpful when you are in physical, mental, emotional or social difficulty. Just look at her for a minute now.
Quan Yin is riding on the back of a dragon on a dark night, in a stormy sea. She is perfectly balanced and holds a stalk of grain in one hand and a bottle of oil in her other hand. She has a gentle smile on her lips.
The dark night and stormy sea represents any difficulty we are going through.The dragon represents our movement through whatever situation challenges us. Kwan Yin represents the highest and most beautiful aspects of ourselves united with the most beautiful and protective aspects of Heaven and Earth. Kuan is confidently guiding the dragon with her loving intention through the dark stormy night. She carries grain in one hand to sustain us through or painful experience and oil in her other hand to calm the troubled waters of our thoughts and emotions.
I tell my students that when they are in trouble, try to remember this picture. To see Kuan Yin guiding the dragon through the dark stormy sea. Look how calm and serene she is as she carries her grain and oil with a gentle peaceful smile on her lips.
I ask them to imagine this Kuan Yin is in your heart and let her spread throughout your body/mind/spirit. Ask yourself, " How would it be, what would it feel like, if I were that calm and serene in this situation?" Soon you will find your body/mind/spirit will start to relax and synchronize with the healing, calming energy in the painting.
As you feel your being relax and strengthen and harmonize with the powerful peace of the Heaven and Earth you might find you are, like Quan Yin, smiling. You might ask yourself, "What would Quan Yin do in this situation?" And you might find yourself doing as she would do.
This medicine painting is very powerful if you learn how to work with it's energy and intent. Try it.

One Hand Near One Hand Far Healing Technique.

One Hand Near One Hand Far is a very powerful healing technique developed by a chi kung master named Dr Zia Gang Sha. You can find more about him by clicking the tiltle of this entry and it will take you there. I posted this information a couple of years ago but I think it is time to do it again. Start by being aware of the lower dan tien. Move your awareness from lower dan tien to the laboring Palaces. If you have a place in your body that hurts or needs help place one of your hands, we will call this hand the near hand, about 4 to 7 inches away from the painful area. Point your first two fingers of that hand at the painful area. Imagine that energy is flowing from your lower dan tien to the Laboring Palace of the near hand. Then guide the chi from laboring palace out through the two pointing fingers into the area in your body being treated. This is One hand Near. Now take the other hand which we will call the far hand, and place it about 12 to 20 inches from your lower dan tien. Aim ...

Congratulations You Did It!!!

I say this to you my student/teacher/brother. You are of the Hawk and Crow People now. The Hawk and the Crow fly with you, now and forever. I salute you my brother. I salute your courage and determination. Congratulations. I celebrate and sing this song. My student/warrior/friend is out of the hospital and eating. His story can be found in my blog sections "When Pain Comes Try This." and "You Can Cower In The Corner Or You Can Stand And Fight." When he was faced with his own fear and pain and uncertainty he chose to stand and fight. When you must chose, chose to stand and fight. Remember we are never alone. Remember that and smile. He has passed one of his initiations with honor and pride. Many others are doing the same even as you read these words. Let all the warriors of the Heaven and the Earth who stand and fight with honor and determination give you courage and strength when you need it most. Remember, you are not alone and smile. A new adventure now opens to...

In Search of the Miraculous. Chinese Medicine

Remember, God treats you like you treat your lover. Being a good lover is the highest form of humanity as far as I am concerned.Sometimes being a good lover means letting go of each other. Such is life. Before I share the first chi kung exercise it is important to understand a couple of fundamental differences that separate Chinese and the western medicine. I am going to be a bit repetitious but as they say " Education is repetition." Western medicine understands and relates to a human being as a physical/psychological/social organism. Chinese medicine understands and relates to a human being as a radiating field of energy that exists in and as a series of interrelated fields of energy all of which exists in an all encompassing field of energy. A human being has a physical/psychological/social manifestation but the key in Chinese medicine is the energy field not the manifestations of the field. If the energy field is strong and balanced health will manifest. If it is not...
