He recently spoke with Jennifer McLean on Healing with the Masters, Series 12. Snippets of his experience follow:
- Qigong helps transform energetic expression (pain to feel good).
- Everyone is born a healer.
- Flow or energy (love) has four basic elements:
- Breathing to connect the heart, mind and body.
- Power of mind.
- Gentle simple movements.
- Sound/vibration of voice to help open energy channels in the body.
- Most of the energy we get each day is from breathing. Take 15 minutes per day to breathe in/out 10 times per minute to this reduce stress and blood pressure.
- Normal breathing only exchanges 60% of air in lungs/body. Take slower deeper breaths to activate the love energy in your heart.
- Qigong is about you; it is not a religion although qigong techniques are used in some religious practices.
- Breathing includes the lungs and the skin.
- The voice is a powerful tool (chanting, singing, humming) because over 80 energy points in the mouth connect all over the body.
