Sterling Heights Michigan - Qigong Classes with Gary W. Abersold

Late Summer - Autumn Qigong Classes

 with

 Gary W. Abersold

Introduction: There are new Tai Chi ~ Chi Flow Classes being held in Sterling Heights Michigan. By end of September I will have three teachers Certified whom after a 1 1/2 years practice and learning with me can effectively begin to teach the Energy Release, Chi Cultivation and beginner Flow Forms. So until then I am the only one that can properly teach this tradition. My goal is to be able to offer this abroad in Health Clubs, Community Centres, Gilda's Club, Youth Homes, people that are incarcerated, Military personal and Veterans. It's easy to learn and I have a vast amount of resource material for the serious student, that comes with the practice.    

    This is a perfect practice for anyone looking to truly have a Qigong routine that delivers and one can count on, each and every day. There are many practices that I have taught over the last 21 years of teaching; the Tai Chi ~ Chi Flow System is a genuine approach for beginners or experienced practitioners looking for something different. The brilliance of the tradition is that it is very tangible, new students feel their energy very quickly. This is taught in China and abroad even in Wutang Taoist Temples, Groups. A friend of mine that is a Monk teaches his version of it to all his personal disciples as a base for their Tai Chi Chuan understanding.              

Tai Chi ~ Chi Flow (太極氣流): Syncretic System of Tai Chi Chuan, and Healing Qigong practice, which has became very popular, over the past 40 years in China. Tai Chi ~ Chi Flow is not "Tai Chi Chuan" (Martial Art Tai Chi) , it is a healing form of Tai Chi, emphasizing Chi Flow - "life force energy". It is the best practice for anyone looking for health and wellness; and will prepare one better for traditional Tai Chi Chuan Systems as well. It's the Tai Chi training that almost no community centre class will ever offer, that are all so needed .

Tai Chi ~ Chi Flow has been scientifically tested and medically proven. The first entry level practice is designed to improve the general health and well-being of the practitioner. The gentle flow patterns and stretching movements improve circulation and digestion. The chest exercises and controlled breathing are good for lung conditions and asthma. And the overall effect of the exercise is to reduce mental stress and physical tension carried in the muscles of the body. What can it do for you:

• Improves health

• Increases energy, agility and flexibility

• Loosens and strengthens joints and muscles

• Normalizes energy congestion

• Rejuvenates body, breath, energy, mind and spirits

• Dissolves stress away

• Develops concentration

• Balances emotions

This Tradition is very effective and easy to learn. It is practiced throughout Asia, and is considered a national health exercise in Malaysia and Indonesia. Come learn about this unique system and my Master Teacher's related healing modalities. A DVD and two Audio Cd's are provided for home learning, away from class.

Participation in Life is Key - To Move Forward

Participation in life is key; Don't become the "would have, should have or could have person" one day in the rocking chair.  The important thing to do in learning and progressing in Qigong is getting practical experience. You cannot cultivate your Chi from reading a book, surfing the web or watching a video. It takes real practical experience; this is a big beginner tip. There are many benefits from being in a Qigong group such as learning faster, meeting like minded people who are into Qigong and hey how about mastering it! If you are reading this aren't you sick of being on the sidelines; get out of the drought and get your chi filled and activated.   

 It will take much effort and follow through in classes to begin to penetrate through the mystery of it all.  If you want more you have to participate for it. I have invested much personal effort in teaching various students on Qigong since 1994 and many now are certified in well rounded levels of qigong. one cannot go wrong with the teachers I have certified, they are all different and unique.

The following link can begin to get you started locally in Southeastern Michigan areas. Express your inner will and begin to reap the benefits from a timeless tradition that will add much quality and value to your personal and family life:

Update DVD Review: Qigong for Cancer

Recently did a viewing of the "Qigong for Cancer" DVD; the synopsis its a well put together program for anyone interested in Qigong. Its filmed in crystal clear high definition video, filmed at the Shou Yu Liang Institute in Vancouver. Directions are clear and Helen does different angles to emphasize alignment on exercises.  The exercises are laid out as follows:

Lung/Large Intestine
Spleen/Stomach
Heart/Small Intestine
Kidneys/Bladder
Pericardium/Heart/Triple Burner
Liver/Gallbladder 
Qi Channel Stimulation
Relation Method

There's a total of 15 exercises; which are modified exercises from her family's Taoist, Buddhist and Martial Art background, for helping people rejuvenate with Qigong. I learned many of these exercises at her fathers school with father but in more advanced forms. They have been although properly adapted for Health Rejuvenation and Maintenance Qigong for the common person, not expert level.

 The exercises use alot of visualization guidance and early intermediate technique that might throw someone really ill for a loop without a teacher. One may get frustrated, and not carry on because of the complexity of using intermediate mind intention visualization techniques. With that being said the practice is a great arrangement, for anyone with a little experience. The video footage is basically laid out "learn as you seem fit" for you. Take one exercise at a time, learn it and practice for a few weeks, to a month before proceeding.

 There is no discussion on disorders and using these Qigong exercises or how to apply them. It would have been nice for the newer student or someone ill to have a little info. It's also unclear if they have tested the method out on Qigong Cancer Support Groups; my personal view is it would have been better titled "Qigong Rejuvenation & Health Maintenance Method".

Don't Medicinalize Qigong, Tai Chi & Yogic Arts!

 It's a trend to sell Qigong as Medical, for Cancer etc. to attract the common citizen; which can often be misleading kinda like a marketing angle. People are more well served if it's presented as "Healing", which eludes to anything that can make one whole again. I also personally thinks it's a mistake to push Qigong as Medicine, Medical or even worse scientific; which does not even coincide with Traditional Chinese Medical Philosophy. It should stay to its roots of "nourishing and nurturing life", and personal spiritual cultivation or even simply "Therapeutic" would be a better idea. The closer it gets entangled in Science/Technology, the more removed from it spiritual intrinsic value it will become in the public domain. It then might not even be East Asian Qigong for that matter.

So at any rate I give this program A+; it's well put together and great video quality - if you go slow and with a little guidance one can have a great practice set. Helen's testimonial and experience I feel the most important part of the DVD, it will encourage anyone going through illness that there is hope and Qigong can for sure help reblance your body/mind. Shes another living example that Qigong integrated with other method's works real well.

Health & Wellness, Cancer Prevention Through Qigong

Qigong for Cancer

  By

 Helen Liang

There is a new DVD available for purchase by Master Helen Liang, entitled "Qigong for Cancer".  Helen Liang is a Master in her own right, comes from a genuine family lineage. She is a Cancer survivor and has detailed 15 key real good exercises, Meditations and other insights that anyone looking into Qigong would appreciate. Perfect for beginners, and experienced alike. Filmed in crystal clear high definition video by YMAA Publishing. I wrote an  article about her with many links on my video page:

http://www.qigonghealingcenter.com/apps/videos/videos/show/19018570-qigong-healing-for-cancer   

Those that know me know I generally don't beat the drum to push products, market items in the name of Qigong. I am promoting this with no recompense involved for the sake of helping the community at large. It's a wonderful story as well, one cannot really go wrong with $40.00 investment, especially if going through Cancer Treatments or Recovery. They really did a fine job of keeping character in the video production, not a sterile boring video and her heartfelt testimonial of what she went through is of much welcomed value. I will also say that in a weary world at times its great to have these kind of story's to come across your desk.

Master Ling Guang Ming aka... "Guolin"
 

 Her story is reminiscent of the landscape painter "Guolin", whom created her own system of Qigong, due to a terminal Cancer diagnosis and  nowhere to turn. Guolin was not given much chance to live and created essentially what is often called Guolin Qigong, New Qigong or Therapeutic Walking Therapy. Guolin Qigong is also a complete system in itself; a relatively unknown system to Westerners, but really popular in Chinese Community's. They are both great success story's of how Chinese Medicine and Qigong worked in these hard to deal with Cancer cases.   

Below is a Snippet of the Video; and it can be purchased very easily on Amazon.com:

Otto Warmbier: A Tragedy for Everyone.

Otto Warmbier

 December 12, 1994 - June 19, 2017

 

 Update 6/19/2017 8:47pm: Otto Warmbier has passed away late today. My heartfelt condolences to Fred and Cindy Warmbier, family and loved ones. Although I donot know the family or Otto; he reminded me of myself and many friends I grown up with. I do think this was a ethical post to fuse like minded caring people together and use their ability's for the good of one of our own. The parents had expressed that his facial features began to lighten up as time went on since he returned home. 

 I would like to thank the outpouring support of the many people who connected with energy healing, prayers, questions and comments etc..my insight tells me that this was the proper thing to happen, to exit his damaged body and move on to his next journey. Death is just a dead body; but the spirits and soul remains it never dies.  

 I truly hope that the current administration will follow through with their statements of "determination to prevent such tragedies from befalling innocent people at the hands of regimes that donot respect the rule of law and basic decency". 

Sincerely, 

Gary W Abersold    

      

Original Post

As we know North Korea is a Feudal Empire, lead by a completely insane leader which could become worse than Mao Tse Tung ever was in China. The world should get serious and boycott this country and maniac, hopefully his own people will get sick of it and remove him from power one day soon. North Korea is like Pandora's Box just waiting to open. It truly is a serious world problem on so many levels.

The story of Otto Warmbier is like most 21-22 year old's, looking for experience and adventure in life. He obviously is a brave adventurous person to go to North Korea in the first place. What young man does not like a challenge? As well all know he was persecuted and prosecuted for removing one of their propaganda posters off the hotel wall (give me a break!). Typical young guy move in the moment of fun. Every guy I know in life and I for sure am guilty of this - has pulled stunts like this if not worse. Unfortunately it was videotaped and we know the rest of the story. Truly a tragedy.

I call this a tragedy for "everyone" because this should have never happened. It is not going to go away either; there will be other Otto's this is for sure..remember Kenneth Bae. We failed Otto by not being more vocal for his release, where were the protest, media coverage beyond a snippet video and outcry for one of our own? Where was our leaders and so called representatives? So it's water under the bridge now what done is done. A damn shame for someone with so much promise and hope; I am sure Otto would of stood up for one of our own; he seems like a person with integrity.  

  It is very plausible that Otto experienced an extreme Panic Attack, which could of induced some sort of cardiac arrest or torture ala..foul play that was involved. His life will be forever changed; hopefully he has a miracle recovery at some level. It is a true heartbreak of a story; a person who looks like most 20 something's. To all Energy Healing Practitioners, People of Faith and Belief Let's send  prayer messages and healing energy to Otto and his family. Hopefully he will have some kind of turn around at some level. Everyone deserves a fresh start, a second chance in life. Anything is possible to those with unshakable faith.
