Thanks for the kind words, Keith. And thanks for sharing your successes! Amazing!

More live workshops coming soon…but not yet. Until then, I hope my digital presence will suffice. 🙂

I am a LMT, a 1st Dan in Shotokan Martial Arts and teach a Qigong class for free in a HOA in which I live. I have a WUJI and YOQI certification. When I contracted Non-Hodgkins Lymphoma 14 years ago, after my chemo I had a hard time recovering, my Sensei who was a 4th Dan, empathized with my suffering and he introduced me to Qigong, needless to say, it was the very best thing that ever happened in my life (besides my wife and children).
Once again I was given wise information and was introduced to your website 6 months ago by a friend of mine who is also a Sifu of Qigong. I really love your simplistic and logical approach to the theory and practicality of Qigong, when I am not able to advise my Qigong students on some of their questions, I advise them to visit your site. Thank you for sharing and caring Anthony. I would love to do one of your immersion here in CA and get an associate certification, too expensive for me to go to your regular place of training up in the beautiful mountains of Costa Rica.
Wishing you comfort in flowing chi.
Keith Vincent.

Hi Chantal. I’m sorry to hear about your struggles. It must be so frustrating.

Obviously, I recommend trying my method, which I call Flowing Zen Qigong. This is my synthesis of the many different qigong methods I learned over the decades. I can tell you that many people have come to me having tried “everything” else, and still found deep healing with Flowing Zen Qigong.

I suggest that you start with my “Quiet Mind Healthy Body” course: https://academy.flowingzen.com/quiet-mind-healthy-body-qigong

Before I took medication, I tried for 20 years to heal myself but to no avail. Now the damage is done and I have limited range of motion especially with arms and shoulder and hand and wrist and the list goes on. What would you suggest? qigong and what kind? or tai chi?
thanks
Chantal

Ha! Ancient Chinese secret!

Just kidding. The camera is on a selfie stick and has image stabilization. And the leash is attached to my belt, not my wrist.

Yes, it’s also good to practice your least favorite exercises simply because you probably need them! But if you listen to your intuition, you’ll actually find that it tells you to practice these techniques.

The part about dosage and quality really makes so much sense and confirms for me that qigong is something you live and feel rather than ‘do’ a couple of times a day. I have learned more about qigong and energy since joining your Q101 class in January than I have for a long time – it just keeps getting better.
Thanks for sharing your knowledge and wisdom in such an enjoyable way – and I love the Walk and Talk sessions too!

I think that’s why I feel a resonance with qigong: what it’s taken Western medicine a few decades to rediscover (ie, whole body systems and treating the person, as in Functional Medicine) the Chinese have known for 5000 years.

I like the idea of knowing intuitively which Qigong practices to do – choosing favourites (I like Lifting The Sky). Also, occasionally doing ones I don’t like as much – so, that would be balancing on the one foot. Maybe because I need that more…

How do you keep the camera steady while walking, talking and with a dog fastened to your waist? Liking the walking and talking, btw.

Bandaids are what people expect. In fact, most Americans don’t understand the difference between a bandaid approach and a holistic approach.
