Qigong as Medicine

[Hendrik]

As always, I'm curious to the specific form of qigong, but it's a promising study.

In my opinion

Since the world is a causal system running with the law of cause and effect.
Qigong practice if it is the proper type will certainly deliver the result, there is no question on it.


One of the biggest issue on Qigong is most have never really cultivate it. IE just mimic the taiji chuan posture in the morning or standing post or talking Zen or Talking Dao doesnt do it.

However, There are so much ego in the western world
IE in this forum that everyone wants to be the "Master" or even Grand Master and preaching and arguing with tons of ridiculous ideas which is a totally nonsense which any real cultivator will spot out.



After Decades of study with different sifus, my bottom line is if one cant enter into the silence and evoke the Zhen Qi. Forget about it. disregards who one claim he is or his sifu is.....name droping or smart talking. They dont have it. and the best those stuff can work is work as a light excersice or entertainment talk show.

Sure, saying this is open a can and open for attack by some self proclaim Gurus in this forum. I careless because these people in one way they think they know it all, but even if they have a small sickness, they will certainly go to western medicine and totally drop the Qigong or Zen they makes so much claim that they are the master; instead of capable of using the Zhen Qi and Silence to heal the issue.

Let's face it. Do one really has it or not? as basic as Zhen Qi and as basic as enter into the Silence. Without these, the rest is garbage theory and fantasy.

Without the Zhen Qi and silence, one couldnt even heal a common cold, not to mention other sickness.


There is a standard in Qigong training, in generally for 100 days or longer one must enter into the silence and build up the Zhen Qi. Thus, no sex is a must for the sick in these 100 days or more (untill the Zhen Qi accumulate and later sex needs to be limited.)

Without attaining the basic how can one get the benifit? simply cant because it is a causal world where one needs to generate enough energy to change the couse of a certain manifestation. talking big surely wont get one those energy needed. not to mention even with the energy needed still there are different condition needs to be met to solve the manifestation....etc. IE if the mind subsconciously hold on it then the body will proceed as the mind command, thus, one needs to enter into silence to drop that subsconcious thought/program to take the root cause out. Yes, it can be done however human in general cant do these because there are only a few who have the condition and willing to do so.

IMHO,
Thus, before turn oneself to any scientific research or healing, first ask oneself what kung fu attainment one has ? doesnt one has the basic such as enter into silence, and further into growing of Zhen Qi, and further into balancing the internal organs.......etc without having those attainment, one knows the outcomes because it is a causal world. Do one willing to drop sex, drop smoking, drop getting angry...sleeping before 11PM.for at least 100 days? if not then there will be not much benifit.


With the Zhen Qi and silence capability, it certainly aid the healing even if one decide to combine the western medicine for the healing. Every aid is a good aid.

Finally, Qigong is not totally magic either IE it cannot replace food no matter how much one practice it.

And also, if one doesnt want to be heal or suspecious one can heal, one cant be heal no matter what Qigong one practice.
