In reply to Ron. The short answer is: What I teach is safe. I respect John. I don't know if he's familiar with Flowing Breeze Swaying Willow or not. If you scroll down on that page, there's a comment from a students who actually practices it.

Sorry I never was alerted you replied to me back then! I read about it in a couple places online but here’s an example from this article:

I’ve read in other QiGong articles that Spontaneous QiGong can be dangerous. Is Flowing Breeze Swaying Willow the type that could be on the dangerous side?

In reply to Dee. Hi Dee. I have offered 2 teacher training programs in the past. Covid sort of put a damper on that. But now I'm working on an online version. Have you taken my 101 or 201 programs yet?

In reply to Carol Long. Hi Carol. This post wasn't meant to teach the 5-Phase Routine. It's an overview and a review for students who have already learned it.

You say the free online courses are effective, but the key routine described here–the five-phase routine –contains an essential element–# 4, “Flowing Stillness”, which is completely unexplained in this post, and your sole answer (in the comments, above) to several inquiries about it is a link to the $99 course, “Quiet Mind, Healthy Body”, which is also about the Five-Phase routine. So is the 5-Phase routine as taught in this post not meant to be used as is? Without all of the phases explained, it doesn’t seem possible. It seems that if you say you are teaching the Five Phase routine here in the free courses, they should include all of the essential five phases. Please let me know if “Flowing Stillness” is described or taught in the free courses you offer, as I would like to make a start with those before committing to the paid courses.
Another question is whether # 1, the Opening Sequence, and #3, Flowing Breeze, Swaying Willow can be done sitting or even lying down. ( I sometimes want to practice while lying down, to maximize my use of time even while I am resting, a necessary activity for many hours every day for me.)

Thank you your answer and for all of this wisdom.

Hello.
At first, I actually didn’t believe in Qi, Ki or Chi. For me, it was just a child’s fantasy. I like reading manhuas which is Chinese Manga or Comics, and you have mentioned everything that you have mentioned. But what I want to ask is, Is there really realms like Qi Gathering Realms or Internal Qi Realm, etc,…? Because I already feel my dantian, it’s like a spinning spiral circle, in my lower belly. And sometimes when I meditate, after I focus the energy in my dantian, I feel somewhat hot and also it feels like the energy will burst out, like it really wants to come out. Is there a really what they call a “breakthrough?” And also, “How can I see these energies?”
