It’s a Guy Thing?

I talk about Qi Gong with anyone who will listen. I am a Qi Gong 18 Style advocate. I am enthusiastic about Qi Gong 18 Style because I have witnessed the transformation of many students and friends. They have cured or relieved all sorts of “disease”.  So when anyone asks me about Qi Gong and what it can do, I always tell of my own personal experience of curing a bad back which I had lived with for 15 years or so. Or, I relate the stories of the chronic pain patients at Kaiser Permenente, the heart by-pass patients at Lutheran Hospitals, and the students who gained energy, strength and flexibility.  These stories seem to lead people to believe that they must have some “problem” to practice the Qi Gong 18 Style Ritual.

I have been enlightened.  I have always known that Qi Gong 18 Style is for everyone who desires to have or maintain good health. I simply focused on the cures and not on the fact that Qi Gong 18 Style brings balance and harmony to all who practice it regularly. If you are not “suffering” from a disease, you will still have benefit from a regular practice. It will keep you in balance. Your life will flow. You will LIVE HEALTHY.

It’s a guy thing to talk about what he has ‘fixed’.  I need to share that even if it wasn’t in need of fixing it can be maintained and improved. Even if you are in Good Health you can still benefit from Qi Gong 18 Style.

Share Your Qi Gong Experience

Share Your Qi Gong Experience. As I do my daily ritual practice of Qi Gong 18 Style, over time I seem to modify the movements just a bit.  I wonder if this shift is my body telling me I need to move differently or is it that I have become lax in the discipline?  I do not know the answer, however, I feel it is more a matter of my not staying focused on the movement.

The Qi Gong 18 Style Ritual has always been my best teacher. When I have the awareness of not doing a movement as it was originally taught I make the assumption that I have drifted off course and make a conscious effort to perform the movement as I was taught by my Master.

I do find that when I have an adjustment in my body, the movements seem to be “different”, but they are still correct and only feel like they have changed because I have changed.

Comments from a Qi Gong 18 Style Video Student

My friend, Ann, and I had our first session with Tommy’s Qi Gong 18 Style Video.  At the end, when Tommy says, “How do you feel? Wonderful?”  Ann exclaimed, “No!  I feel Tired!”  I had to laugh – I agreed.  How could something so seemingly simple and easy give you such a great workout?  After just three sessions, though, we were feeling more “wonderful” than tired – and that surprised us, too – how quickly we had started feeling the benefits.

I was thrilled when I advanced enough to do the session along with Tommy on the DVD in the “Ritual.” section.  The quietness of it, and being able to flow with the movements is so peaceful, it just makes my day.

I don’t know the movements well enough to do them completely on my own yet, and although I very much enjoyed my trip out of state to visit family for the holidays, when I got back I realized that I was glad to be home and to get back to doing Qi Gong with Tommy’s DVD.  I’d really missed it.
