Thank you for sharing... I also know about working with pain... and am grateful to my daily Qigong practice to keep this in check in my own body - from aches that from the many bone breaks in my body to the creeping arthritis that runs in my family... The deepening of my personal practice has certainly been enriched by my work with dedicated Masters that I have had the honor to study with, but I trust that the "deepest" transformations all came from the quiet I allowed myself. It has been in these times when I've gifted myself silent retreats all alone or sitting quiet, breaking my busy routine, where all that entered my awareness intellectually through Qigong study became "known" on a cellular level. The group trips that I lead to China and Thailand have helped hundreds of people over the 15 years I've sponsored them and I know that so many have told me that these two weeks have helped them deepen their study. They provide deeply focused time of healing immersion - both studying AND receiving daily treatments - and leave us with experience that we can take home and take within during our quiet time of personal development. Thank you again for your good energy and I wish you well on your healing journey in this life... Peace... Francesco Greetings!

Many diffferent opportunities have arrose in order to deal with it, though none have worked, I have never given up. I have always felt the deeper energy within struggle due to pain and illness. After many years, I have finally begun practicing energy work. Your Qigong "Beginning practice" routine is something special. The kindness and compassion of you two seeps through the screen, and even amongst all the turbulence in my life it seems to be able to sneak in. Thanks for that. I wanted to know if you have any advice about furthering Qigong practice. Teachers are far and rare, and choosing seems a journey in its self. Dear Garrpoli’s,

Qigong is about listening... I have always referred to it as "sensitivity training"... so watch and listen... see what this "weak" feeling you experience after your morning practice is telling you... there is always a gift waiting when you observe with an open heart... you may also consider having a warm tea and piece of whole wheat toast and butter or jam before you practice... nothing heavy, but something to stabilize your blood sugar first... enjoy the unfolding and listening to your body/spirit wisdom... Peace... aloha!

I do it in the morning before breakfast. Am I doing something wrong? I follow your tape and I love it. But I doint feel energize right away. Is it ok to feel weak when you finish qigong.

I turned your Qi Gong into a prayer containing; praising, recieving, and sharring. I say,"I don't understand what is happening", you say, "Trust." UNKNOWING + TRUST = FAITH, faith is were i have been operating most all my life. Thank You for your imput. I will proceed, because like you i want to help others find thier way. Peace, Hope, Joy...

Thank you for sharing your experience with doing the Qigong For Cleansing and Strengthening (Zhang Fu Gong) also known at Qigong Detox. The DVD gives a lot of information but of course is nothing like coming to a workshop where we have more time to explain theory and talk about experiences such as what you are feeling. This is wonderful and you are fortunate to feel the affects of Qi flowing in your body. Many people practice for years without having your experience. Qigong is all about listening... observing... and proceeding with grace and an open heart. No one has definitive answers about Qi or the healing affects of Qigong. This is for you to discover. It is your own, inner healing potential at work. This Qigong form is a powerful one that helps you wake up that potential. Trust. Most of our life keeps us asleep to our potential. These feelings you are get are signs that you are listening and waking to your natural abilities. I send you supportive wishes on your path to personal empowerment and deep healing and growth. Peace... Francesco Dear Kathy,

Like my knees my ankels the bends of my arms over my pelvis. And even for a few days after that when i was tring to explain it to people if i put my hand over the point there would be a vibration a force. I dont understand if i should continue.

Your heartfelt energy flows! Thank you for your openness and caring. Each effort we make - every thought we have - contributes to the world as we know it. Whether we create an epic documentary or whether we help a neighbor, our efforts are essentially "equal." What we put out into our "dreaming" flows infinitely in ways that we can barely comprehend. I pray that every inspiration we receive can help us to remember this and continue to send good Qi out into the world, out into our "dreaming." In ease and abundance... and gratitude. Peace... Francesco Dear Rose,

All I can say is "WOW!" The documentary is fantastic, and just filled with information, that I wish everyone in the world could see. I just did the practice session of the DVD and I feel great! I also really appreciated the interview section, and your personal story brought tears to my eyes. There are many great teachers in our world today that are doing so much to raise consciousness on our planet. Your DVD is so powerful that I will be sharing your contact and Qigong information on my web site, Facebook, and in emails to friends and family. I can think of so many people who can benefit from your simple, yet outstanding practice DVD. It will be my pleasure to try to send as many people as possible your way. I believe that we can change the world, just by sharing information, and trying to raise awareness of all the wonderful tools we have at our fingertips. Thank you from the depths of my heart for what you are doing! Many blessings to you! Yours very sincerely, Rose Winstanley-Trefz www.livingintune.com rosetune@yahoo.com Dear Mr. and Mrs. Garripoli,

I've only been doing it for a few weeks, but it has been great! I appreciate the fluidity of the movements, that you don't overexplain things, and the music in the background. I can already tell my body is "harnessing" chi in a different way.
