In reply to Victoirea. Just do qigong. Start out by just doing qigong. If qigong helps and you become healthier, whatever that means for you and you still want to do or try tai chi, then do or add tai chi.

In reply to Victoirea. Hi Victoria. Sorry to hear about the panic attacks. Where did you learn qigong and tai chi? From me?

I have been doing qigong and tai chi for a month and I honestly haven’t seen a positive change at all. If anything it has made my panic attacks worse as well as it has caused extreme exhaustion. I don’t mean any disrespect I kust think that perhaps ot isn’t for everyone

Sifu,

thank a lot for the tip and courage that you have email to.me.In fact i have had started practising Chi kong (qikong) in 2009. The reason.why i joined the Chi Kong course was that i have a cardiac problem in which all of my three main blood vessel was blocked.One was totally blocked and rist are 85% and 50%.it really giving me a lot of problem.i was hospitalize several time.i was asked to undergone a cardiac surgery but i refused.Seen then i do practice regularly twice a day.At less 15 minutes for session.thank God.i dont have much problem now.i feel much much better now.i really admired the wonderful power of Chi.Kong.

But don’t you see, Desyree. All those thoughts are just Monkey Mind. Ultimately, you can’t quiet the Monkey Mind with more Monkey Mind.

My upcoming book will cover some of these issues. In the meantime, my free download “The Secrets of Mind-Body Healing” discuss this in depth. If that doesn’t quiet your Monkey Mind, then no book will.

You’re a researcher. Do your research! Just practice. And follow the instructions, including letting go of the Monkey Mind.

Yes, that is me.
The reason I want to read the book is to understand how it works and why. Every time I think about practicing and sometimes during the practice, I keep thinking “but how lifting sky helps? what is with this specific movement that makes it easier for the qi to move? And the breathing? And the ending sequence? And how about other movements? Are they going to have the same benefits?”. And that goes on and on… That is why I decided to buy a book. If I know how and why, I will be able to be more into the practice without questioning everything…

Hi Desyree. Assuming that you’re the Desyree who took my class, then you already have everything you need to run your own Qigong experiment. The book won’t solve the equation; practicing will! Remember to use a progress chart too. http://flowingzen.com/1894/8-reasons-to-track-your-progress/

This post was written for me! I have been trying to get into practice and can’t… Then, I realized why… I am not sure all of it is true. I believe in qigong being good as a type of meditation, but not for healing. But it is in accordance with some things I believe in. So, I decided to study it better and if I can understand it, I will be able to do a daily practice. I read one review on pubmed.com, but I decided that it would be better to buy a book about it. So, I am just waiting for Amazon to ship it. Bought it last week. I am a researcher, so it is not easy to just believe in things that people tell me. But I am willing to give it a try!
By the way, for a while I was practicing it (only for about 3 or 4 days). At the time, I didnt realize, but I was feeling better, happier and more energetic. I am not sure if it was because of the qigong, but there is a good chance 🙂
So, I will let you know how it goes when I read the book!
