For me personally, when my spirit its are high I look forward to practicing Qigong and the benefits and sensations usually feel more alive.

When I’m in the pits of despair, the desire to practice is weak. In fact many times, when I’ve tried to practice in this state, knowing it will do me good, the Qi seems to drain out of me and I slump out of the session before finishing.

So I can’t fault the advice and suggestions Sifu, it’s just that I sometimes struggle to put them into practice when I most need them.

Hi Brian. Sorry to hear about the roller coaster. That sounds incredibly frustrating.

I’m glad you’re motivated to get your ass in gear. That’s what happened to me years ago. In a nutshell, I got sick and tired of my situation, and made a decision to do 2 minutes of Lifting The Sky every day, no matter what.

That decision changed my life.

Well this may be my turning point because I’m either going to be homeless and die or get my ass in gear, So listening to brainwave audios with headphones on youtube and laying on the couch all day hasn’t helped a bit. Yea I got toxified at my job and OSHA shut the place down temporarily… Me, I got a bill from the doctors to say I was just a bit under the limit of toxins to qualify for any compensation. Fifteen years of being on a roller coaster is taken it’s toll on my psychi.
I am going to the plasma donation in the morning to get some money for my cell phone bill and then career source. right after I Lift the sky.

This very cathartic,2001 Is when I injured my spine,spent 6-8 weeks in agony lying on the floor.Unable to walk effectively due to crippling pain.So when you are lying on the floor for so long,you have much time to think.
So after all this time,I made a decision to walk despite the pain.The tears welling up writing this,is a surprise.

My rationale was that I was in pain lying down or standing up,so it was that I would walk,doing laps around the clothes line,crying openly.I would focus on my posture,I found that if I maintained an erect posture,the pain was less,my left leg from hip to toe was numb,especially big toe.Sleep was intermittent,never slept for longer than two hours.

Anyway,using abusing only anti-inflamatorys andTHC,I was able to return to work,of course I would collapse in a heap once home,but I could function effectively at work,provided I didn’t talk about my back pain.2003 I requested a spinal scan,which revealed,herniated disc x2,L3-4 L4-5.No pain killers,as these would make me constipated which made back pain worse.Once I had received scan report,I also learnt to relax and let the body heal,I was then able to recover by2004,with only residual numbness below the knee.This also has dissipated since commencing qigong in January 2015.

There was no killing my six fingered man,it was more a case of learning to live with him.
Somehow feel relieved in telling my story.
Thankyou for listening,humbly Juls.

25 years ago I had a heart bypass, which has let me down. In an angiogramme 3 years ago it was found that the arteries grafted onto my heart had shrivelled up and disappeared. The cardiologist said I had six months to live, and severely limited the things I could do. But I said “not for me”, and started Tai Chi and Chi Gong, now I am stronger, fitter, and better – and Still Alive, which is a bit of a bonus. Now I teach both arts to others. Sorry six fingered man, you lost!!!
