Hi Anthony,
Thanks for your reply, these links are very useful. The world as a classroom, hat a life! I hope to meet you soon, online for now. Good luck developing your range of courses.

Best,
Sjoerd

Hi Sjoerd. I’m not yet teaching the Small Universe online, but I’m offering more and more of the building blocks online, specifically the 101 and 201.

You can see the curriculum of the 101 here: https://academy.flowingzen.com/qigong-101-class-of-2019

And you can see the curriculum for the 201 here, although I’ll be expanding it soon: https://academy.flowingzen.com/qigong-201

I imagine that, in the near future, students will be able to learn all of the fundamentals online. At that point, the Small Universe could be taught in a weekend workshop.

By the way, I don’t live in Florida any more. I’m a nomad. I’m in Greece right now, and soon I’ll be in Costa Rica. The world is my classroom now.

I have been exploring your blog for a while now and this is one of the most intriguing posts. Since I do not live in Florida but in Europe, I wonder if I will be able to learn this from you. Is it part of your Qigong 101 course?

More generally, what is it that you will teach in the 101 course? While there are plenty of Qigong teachers in my area, only very few teach Yi Jin Jing and Xi Sui Jing. I would be very interested to – ultimately, over time – learn these classics and the Small Universe from you, but I am not sure this would at all be possible given the distance.

Greetings from Europe,
Sjoerd

I have been doing the Small Universe for a decade, and I can’t do that.

My feeling is that such things might be possible, but that YouTube videos are often faked. It’s hard to tell real from false. Be skeptical, but remain open.

Many Thanks,
Leonard

Hi Mohammad. Are you healthy and pain free?

I like reading your posts. They’re wonderful.
I had only heard the name of Qigong before visiting your website, but I’m a practiced meditator and I see that I grab what you say easily.
I had done similar techniques to The Small Universe in a Kriya Yoga setting.
My Qi is not substantial but I can direct it quite well.
But lately, when I move it upwards from my perineum up to the fontanelle, it ascends a bit to the right. Like, it moves in a parallel path, but an inch or so to the right of where it should really be moving.
What can I do about this, in your opinion?
Thank you.

My only health problems have been seizures since i was 3 until age 11 when i had brain surgery which took away my seizures(except at night sometimes but rare and usually its when i just get careless with supplements and diet) but gave me hemiplegia. So the past 16 years ive spent my time learning to control my emotions(since they use to run ramped do to brain trauma) and regain my strength and balance in my left side. Ive regained around 85-90% of my leftside back so far.

The reason i asked about improving zen state is because ive had many times especially when im sparring and sometimes training where i go into this kind of trance(i think its the theta wave state) almost where im completely relaxed and my minds empty and each body part moves on its own while sparring (far stronger, more accurate and faster then i could ever go when fully conscious). I also have times where i have almost unlimited energy(even though im training physical hard 3-4 hours a day) for between 1-3 weeks.

Is this anything like experiences with false su? Or something different you know of?

Thank you for all your help. I get you cant do much without meeting me(which i wish i could do) nut i really appreciate your help and advice.

Have a great day

For example, if the person asking me the question is a 55-year-old with a history of manic episodes and also a history of dabbling in internal arts — then I’d say the risk is much higher.
