The Key to the Qigong Meditation State by Tianjun Liu Pdf

Exploring classic Qigong meditation from the perspective of modern psychology, parapsychology and cognitive science, Dr. Tianjun Liu defines the mental state of 'still' Qigong in new terms, identifying a specific mental state, Rujing. He examines the psychology of meditation, showing what happens, both mentally and physically, when a person is in a meditation state. Dr Liu shows how the mastery of Rujing is a fundamental skill vital to the practice of Qigong, and presents a new type of Qigong exercise which takes the achievement of Rujing as its primary goal. His scientific approach to meditation is a breakthrough in this area and will be of interest to practitioners of Qigong and related practices at any level, in addition to anyone with an academic interest in meditation.

Super Neigong of Ancient Monks by David Teng Pdf

Drastically Upgrade Your Internal Body... More Effective Than Yoga, Exercise, QiGong, Taichi, Weights, Meditation, Hypnosis... A Monk's Quest for Enlightenment There was a Monk hoping to reach enlightenment (he was already close) who also heard about the Walking Meditation and is ready to start. He set up a pole that span across a temple and hooked his hair onto the pole. He would then walk back and forth within the temple and would not be able to lie down or sit down. When he got sleepy, he would nap only a little by resting against the walls of the temple. A Devotion Beyond Measure He did this for 30 continuous days. During the process, his legs and feet swelled beyond imagination. Puss and blood started to come out from lumps on the swollen feet and legs. No doubt it was painful. But people from the ancient times had a simple mind and their drive to achieve enlightenment was none like others. So it is really us that have deteriorated in the modern times. He didn’t really think much about the pain and just pushed on. If it were someone in modern times, a little pus would send him/her into a frenzy of fear and into the hospital to ask for treatment. The Ancient Wisdom Unveiled Eventually, the puss and blood stopped, and the swelling went away. The legs and feet returned to normal. But the legs are now like never before. The skins are like those of new-born babies. And not just the feet. The rest of the body too. His hair and face have also rejuvenated. It turns out the body was just casting out the toxins long stored within his body – even the toxins he was born with. The Moment of Enlightenment After a month of walk, he thought to himself, “I think I’ve done enough, and I really do need a good sleep”. So he untied his hair and start to lay down on a pillow. Just as he head touched the pillow, he did it. He attained enlightenment. So he attained enlightenment and got a much better-looking physical body. Pretty good deal, right? The Core Inner Energy Method When you practice the core inner energy method of Neigong, the inner energy generated is hard and hammer-like. It breaks down the major energy/physical blockages in your body. This is because Neigong is at the center of Qi cultivation. The Order of Qi Cultivation The important order of your Qi cultivation. The order is Wu-Gong (武功) Qi-Gong (氣功) Nei-Gong (內功) Tao-Gong (道功) Zen-Gong (禪功) The latter two, Tao- and Zen-Gong, are more geared toward spiritual enlightenment, which comes naturally after Neigong… Everyone is trying to do "Zen-Gong" (禪功) before all of those previous 4 steps. The reversal of this order dramatically slows their cultivation development. Nei-Gong: The Gateway to True Health Once the Neigong step is complete, one will progress into the four Levels of Zen meditative states easily. The hammer-like practices (no, it's not intense exercise) are the basis of "Nei-Gong" or "Internal Kung Fu". This will give back a truly healthy body. This cannot be done with Wu-Gong (sports, exercises, or muscle workouts) that strengthens your physique and Qi, but not focused on clearing the internal blockages. Only after all the blockages in your body are cleared can you be called a truly healthy person.

Chaoyi Fanhuan Qigong Healing by Yap Master Soon Yeong,Chok C. Hiew Ph. D. Pdf

Chaoyi Fanhuan Qigong Techniques for Healing Self, Healing Others Renowned Qigong healer Master Yap Soon Yeong and psychology professor and Qigong trainer Chok C. Hiew team up to release the quintessential guide on the ancient art of Qigong Chaoyi Fanhuan Qigong Healing: Healing Self, Healing Others (published by iUniverse). In Chaoyi Fanhuan Qigong Healing, Yap and Hiew detail the meditative movements and practices that allow individuals to begin to heal on a physiological and psychological level. Readers are guided in how to rid the blocked negative energies that is often the root cause of pain, trauma, disease, aging and various chronic issues. Qigong, a centuries-old Chinese system of physical and mental training, has seen a rise in popularity as other Eastern codifications, such as yoga and martial arts, continue to spread in Western societies. Yap and Hiew understand the attractiveness of alternative health care approaches. Chaoyi Fanhuan Qigong (CFQ) Healing stems from the esoteric Qigong tradition in which one actualizes one's inherent self-healing mechanism to free the mind and body from pain and disease without any external input, the authors write. It is a therapeutic approach whose effectiveness in sustaining and extending life and overcoming most known diseases and genetic disorders has been demonstrated. Conventional medicine explains and treats diseases from a physical basis. Eastern holistic medicine goes deeper. Master Yap Soon Yeong & Chok C. Hiew, Ph.D. In Qigong energy medicine, the most fundamental principle is that life is the consequence of the presence of a harmonious mind flowing smoothly in the body. Problems arise when mind is separated from the body, a state that robs precious life energy from the body blocking the inherent self-healing mechanism responsible for homeostasis and healthy physiological functioning. Chaoyi Fanhuan Qigong (CFQ) is the primeval life science of re-connecting or keeping mind in the body to become more alive and to live a long and healthy life. The book's authors, the Founders of CFQ, introduce state-of-the-art healing methods based on authentic internal or energy exercises and meditation techniques. They are original easy-to-learn healing techniques to train on how to remove the common antecedent of disease the stale energy forces or blockages to restore life and for self-repair. Psychological and social trauma, chronic pain, disability are rapidly eliminated. CFQ training harmonizes mind, body and spirit holistically instilling a state of deep relaxation and peace as a form of reality. The ultimate purpose is to deepen healing ability for self-care and for healing others.
