Qi Gong Exercises That Can Help Cure Your Asthma

There is an age-old Chinese saying that says, “Your lung is not well if you have nose congestion.”

According to Chinese medicine in Fremont, each organ should be balanced in such a way that the life force or Chi of the body can attach to the other organs making the entire body as one holistic system. This means that there is no way to consider one body part or organ as an isolated condition without taking into account the entire body system. The Chi or life force is in the blood and requires blood to feed it, blood, in turn requires Chi to mobilize it. Hence, you will need to enhance the Chi in your blood in order to boost the flow of your blood.

One ideal way of increasing your Chi is by performing the ancient Chinese therapeutic art of Qi Gong. Qi Gong is mostly made up of breathing and relaxation exercises and meditation using certain standing or sitting postures, as well as light movements to perform an internal exercise.

When your body suffers from pains and aches, you may have a part of your body that contains blockages in the flow of Chi or that you have negative Chi in that area. It might be necessary to boost blood flow to release the blockages in your body. These obstructions increase when your body’s loaded with stress. Whatever area is weak in Chi, that area may contain blockages and can also be the underlying cause of your illness. A person afflicted with breathing difficulties such as asthma may suffer from Chi obstructions in the nose, trachea, or lungs. He needs to clean out the negative Chi in his insides. Health starts to improve and their body feels better when this negative Chi is expelled from the body.

Western medical science has studied how Qi Gong works, and over the years, several video documentaries have been aired on TV revealing the manner in which Qi Gong is utilized to treat a slew of health conditions.

Based on medical studies, the capillaries of a normal body are functioning at around 50 to 60 percent capacity, or at the most, 70 to 80 percent for people if they’re in good health. This is the reason the facial color of some people turn pale-white – they’re capillaries aren’t wide open. We can increase blood circulation if we can widen the dilation of our capillaries. During a Qi Gong exercise, the body parts that usually get less blood will start to get more. This will increase the supply of T-cells, antibodies, oxygen, and nutrients to all parts of the body. This increased flow of blood is at the center of Qi Gong practice. All health problems start in the flow of blood inside the body. Any illness will profit from any increase of blood flow.

The lung inhales oxygen, which is an indispensable element that the body needs to exist. The body can only survive with a constant supply of oxygen. The heart needs oxygen to pump blood. A normal individual inhales about 16 to 18 breaths a minute. Qi Qong newbies learn to work, relax, and breathe slower by breathing four breaths a minute. These slow breathing exercises allow them to inhale in more oxygen into their lungs. Veteran practitioners perform even slower breathes such as two breaths a minute.

Aside from helping breathe in more oxygen into the body, a Qi Gong exercise also helps accumulate more Chi energy that is stored in the body. We can say that we are “generating” Chi within us.

People are actually surprised how much heat they can generate by merely doing a few hand motions. When performing typical physical activities like swimming, basketball, running, or even walking, we deplete a significant amount of physical energy and this indirectly affects our internal organs. The return of Chi is few. On the other hand, when we perform Qi Gong exercises, we exhaust very little physical energy. Our movements make us relaxed and so, we derive lots of Chi, which brings direct benefits to our organs. We’re required to conserve our Chi when we need to our body to heal. We utilize our Chi to heal ourselves physically, mentally, and emotionally. People with extreme health conditions really need to conserve their Chi and sometimes, perform less physical exercise in order for their body to catch up with the healing. You can participate in physical exercises again, once you get better.

If you have asthma or know one who has, you can get it under control with the right Qi Gong exercise, which you can learn from a Master of Qi Gong. Hopefully, by practicing Qi Gong everyday, this will put an end to those difficult days when you have an asthma attack all of a sudden and you are struggling to find the inhaler in order to ease your breathing. The symptoms of asthma are mucus buildup, shortness of breath, coughing, and wheezing/ they tend to lessen gradually with time.

Make the practice of Qi Gong an everyday part of your life. It could be the best thing you can do for your health.

My Quest To Find Chi

The early 70s were a period of frenetic changes. At the center of these changes was a martial arts icon who became a legend around the world due to his incredible combat skills. Of course, we all know this legend’s name: Bruce Lee. Although his skills were unique and unmatched, he showed that ordinary people could defend themselves by knowing and mastering the martial arts of Kung Fu. And, underlying this art is the energy that Bruce Lee and other shaolin masters have tapped in to produce incredible feats and skills with seemingly little effort. This energy is called Chi and by drawing from it, women could overcome attackers, and children could defend even themselves from bullies.

I grew up in this decade, and although I did not take up kung fu, my interest was in the Japanese defense arts of Judo and Kenpo. In the beginning, I found scant traces of this mystical energy. You simply stood about and strike the air; I started to think that chi might be less of a reality and more of a myth. But, I watched shows of people smashing thick woods and bricks with their hands and head. Many of them were not even muscular. When they were interviewed, they touted this elusive energy called Chi.

I persevered on my judo and kenpo practices and as years passed, I began to feel something strange in me. I started to see the world without using my eyes and began to feel the world beyond myself. My intuition improved, and a sense of self transcended beyond my body. I slowly started to comprehend this chi, and to be aware that the movie stunts were the icing, and enjoyable, but that Chi was something else.

Wanting to know more about this Chi, I embarked on learning Tai Chi and Aikido and other internal arts. These techniques got me more excited since this strange energy began to feel growing and increasing within me, and I started to enjoy a profound sense of well being that made me feel more energetic and vigorous even during my youth. I started to realize certain aspects about Chi, which should be learned and experienced, if one really wishes to explore this subject.

In a spiritual sense, when people do certain forms of Tai Chi, they must lower their center of balance and hips, since this will give them a greater connection to earth. A greater connection equals a better perceivable energy that passes through your legs and into the tan tien, which is nothing more than a simple generator of energy.

If through the use of forms, you can activate the tan tien, then you can help the energy go upward through your body, which will activate the mid tan tien in your upper body, which in turn, activates the upper tan tien, in your head that will allow you to view your body from the outside looking in. Therefore, your body can be filled with energy until it becomes a battery that’s fully charged with supernormal energy.

You can use the energy of your body in various ways, and this offers a whole new field of learning if you’re a student of the defense arts. To delve into this understanding, you should try not to use your muscles, for your muscles have energy that is locked, which will stop the body, and will halt the intention that drives the energy, which stops the discharge of Chi. Rather, when striking, you would want to be like a noodle that eventually drives the energy through the attacker while not even tightening your fist and occupying the space of his body.
Whether it is called pneuma or prana, Chi is both an internal and external energy, which everybody possesses and can always be strengthened through a healthy lifestyle and practice of the internal arts. It is not hard to find. Whether you’re into Judo or Tai Chi, this energy is available for you, and it is The Way of The True Art.

Qi Gong For The Cure Of Anxiety

Pronounced chee-gung, the ancient Chinese holistic system of Qi-gong, is a combination of two words that mean:

• Qi: vital energy, breath, air, life force

• Gong: work

Therefore Qi-gong means “working the vital energy”.

Qi-gong practice incudes breathing, visualization, and gentle movements of the body to work (gong) the qi (vital energy) inside the body. It has its roots in China and is performed by millions of people throughout the world to enhance mental, emotional, spiritual, and physical health.

Chinese hospitals have adopted Qi Gong as a form of treatment and important Chinese universities are teaching it to their students. Qi Gong is a nationally recognized medical form of therapy in China. The healing art of Qi Gong is made up of exercises that are good for the body as a whole and exercises that are aimed at certain bodily systems. It can aid in the restoration and balance of the digestive, lymphatic, cardiovascular, and nervous systems. Aside from their self-healing and personal benefit, practitioners of Qi gong also use it to treat other people.

According to Taoist philosophy, physical and emotional disorders are tie to blockages in the flow of energy in the body. Based on this standpoint, Qi-gong is able to treat mental and emotional problems because it balances and removes blockages to energy flow in the body. Practitioners always benefit from Qi-Gong regardless if they believe it or not.

All people regardless of sex, age, and health status can practice this healing art lying on the back, sitting down, or standing up. One goal of this practice is to attain a calm and tranquil state of mind. You can do this by focusing on your breathing or focus on one point of your body. The more profound your peaceful state of mind is, the less you will be distracted by light, temperature, or noise. The body and mind is transformed into a sea of peace and tranquility. Its’ very hard to find someone who has reached this state of tranquility, but with perseverance and patience, you will be able to go deeper and deeper into it.

As with most things in life, a person should practice Qi Gong on a daily basis to obtain optimal outcomes. Majority of individuals do Qi-Gong in the morning, before they begin their everyday activities. This is excellent since this is the time when your body and mind are at their most relaxed making it much easier to focus on the exercise; in this time of day, Qi is at its best and air is at its freshest. People perform Qi-Gong at other times of the day. In the end, it will be up to figure out what time you feel is best for you.

Qi Gong exercise can take as short as just a few minutes (at least five) and take as long an hour to finish. Over-an-hour practice and you would have overdone the exercise. This healing technique is not meant to be a replacement to standard medical treatments, although it can be used as an adjunct to it. Your mind relaxes, your body slows down, your breathing slows and you get more focused. These outcomes get resolved by themselves with the decrease of anxiety. Consistent Qi Gong practice leads to a peaceful mind, and more vital energy in the body.

In combination with other therapies like visualization, physical exercises, and meditation, Qi Gong can result in a powerful way to curing anxiety attacks.

The Importance Of Integrity In Your Life

A person may develop mistrust in someone if that someone promises something and does not follow through. This loss of trust may go beyond the individual who have broken the promise and the betrayed may wrongly project that mistrust to other people. Based on this logic, the fabric and health of a society can be affected.

The lack or loss of integrity is therefore, a double-edged sword where it cuts both receiver and the giver. Depending on the strength of the word of the person who promised, the person who got betrayed may no longer trust, work or trade with the giver of the promise. Both people have lost As a result. If the repercussions of the betrayal are felt beyond these two individuals, several people may be affected.

When it comes to personal relationships, a broken word may extend beyond the loss of trust, it may come with a deep hurt inflicted on the person who was misled. The vows of marriage, for instance, are alleged to be sacred. The emotional and personal cost for breaking these vows can devastate one or both parties, depending upon the level of love they have for each other, which is actually the heart and soul of all personal relationships and not the vows. But I digress. If an estranged couple has kids, it can be potentially devastating for these children. Lives will be affected by a family breakup, or may at least create an atmosphere of mistrust between the heads of the household. Sadly, things like this happen all the time.

In the world of business, the word of a person carries a lot of weight. If a person fails to be true to his word, it is very doubtful he can continue to conduct business successfully with others. Personal contacts will be severed and credit lines, which are so valuable in the business world, can be lost. 


At every aspect and level of society, integrity is very important. The very fabric of a society will start to collapse without integrity. What is a human being without integrity? A woman without integrity would be like a cheap woman, who gives herself to someone who made her feel good at the spur of the moment while someone she previously gave her word to, who stuck with her through good and bad times over many years, doesn’t even know he is being betrayed. Without integrity a person might as well die. If that person is not a psychopath, he or she eventually will feel a loss of respect for himself or herself. That person may even begin to believe herself or himself to be worthless when the light of truth dawns on him/her.

Integrity, therefore, is a very important trait that should be cultivated. Try to be a truthful and good person.

Integrity is, in fact, a virtue that has been taught throughout history. In the modern age, the founder of Falun Dafa more commonly known as Falun Gong, which is a form of meditation practice, has been promoting the virtues of Veracity, Empathy, and Tolerance for several decades. For him, integrity is an all-important trait. This is to be expected since anyone can find the importance and concept of integrity a shared aspect of all positive philosophies throughout history. Didn’t the most honorable people hold integrity as the most important part of their character?

Integrity is way more than a concept. It is an important and required character trait if you want to have any lasting success in this world. Unfortunately, there are some people who manage to become successful through an extreme lack of ethics, morals, and integrity. However, their lives are like a house whose foundation is built on sand, which is bound to collapse sooner rather than later.

Even if you are a person who doesn’t believe in a life after death, the commonsensical reasons for integrity are evident in everyday life. If you act with integrity, people will definitely notice. You will reap rewards in your personal life and business dealings. For those lacking this virtue, a world of pain and a loss of status await them.

Relieve pain, migraines, tension and let go of stress with craniosacral therapy

A form of gentle touch therapy, Craniosacral therapy (CST) is used to assess and enhance the flow of the cerebrospinal fluid. This technique eradicates the adverse influences of stress and can fortify the body’s ability to take better care of you.

Craniosacral therapy is used to treat dysfunctions and alleviate pain and tension enabling the body to rectify itself automatically and help it relax. Whether you are suffering from neck pain, chronic pain, back pain, or you want to free your central nervous system from blockages, craniosacral therapy can improve your health holistically as well as your performance and eliminate stress and pain in a natural way.

In the 1930s, it was Dr. Sutherland who developed cranium osteopathy. According to him, in early childhood, the skull or cranium do not completely fuse and retains some flexibility.

In the 1970s, it was Dr. Upledger who formulated the Craniosacral therapy technique. He discovered the fluid that protects and nourishes the membranes enclosing the pulses, sacrum, spinal cord, and brain known as the cerebral spinal fluid. For him, osteopathy and craniosacral therapy are two totally different approaches since he considers the former as being ” bone-oriented” rather than “membrane-oriented” (enclosing the spinal cord and brain) and “soft tissue-oriented,” which CST is all about.

When you come in for CST treatment, your therapist will first evaluate you. Afterwards, he will sense the rhythm of your cerebrospinal fluid and determine if there are blockages that impede the free movement of your craniosacral system. This system is checked for symmetry, rate, quality, and amplitude. The evaluations are important factors in determining whether there is dysfunction in the various regions of your body.

The client is comfortably and fully dressed when undergoing craniosacral therapy. He or she is told to lie down on a massage table in a quiet environment.

Every day, your body encounters and absorbs all kinds of strains and stresses. These stresses can be both external (from the environment) and internal (from within, guilt, fear, anger, strong emotions, etc.). Over time, the body’s ability to cope with stress decreases and the tissues begin to tighten up eventually affecting the spinal cord, brain and the function of the systems of your body.

Relieve your pain, migraines, tension and let go of stress with craniosacral therapy and enjoy life to the hilt.

La-Jing Therapy For Treatment Of High Blood Pressure And Physical Pains

A Chinese exercise for addressing shrunken tendons, La-Jing is used to address various ailments such as spasms; leg pain; back pain; waist pain; neck pain; hard to do physical activities; soreness or numbness of the knee, elbow, and hand; leg length inequality; and difficult kneeling or bending. Famed Hong Kong master and practitioner of TCM in Marlton, Cheng-Chiang Zhu, established a simple La-Jing technique based on 50 years of clinical experience. This technique is very inexpensive so much so that almost every person can easily avail of its use. It produces immediate results, easy to practice, and safe suitable for all people (female, male, old, or young) to practice. You can perform it at the office or home, maintain health, treat ailments, or prevent illness.

  1. Place a couple of flat and steady chairs at the side of a door or beside a wall.
  • Sit at the edge of the chairs. Move your buttocks close to the door side or wall as near as possible.
  • Lie down face up. Raise your right leg up against door support or wall pole while you bend your left leg at the knee with your right foot touching the floor. Raise your two arms flat on the chairs for 10 minutes. Let your left foot perform cycling exercises during this time. This will help loosen your hip joints.
  • Transfer the chairs to the opposite side and do the same exercise this time raising your right leg up against door support or wall pole while bending left leg at the knee and left foot touching the floor. Do the cycling exercise for another 10 minutes.

Standing Up La-Jing Exercise

  1. Go to a door threshold. Raise your two arms upwards stretching your arms as much as you can on each side of the door support.
  • Then bend one leg to the front while bending the other leg behind.
  • Your body should be parallel with the door, with eyes looking ahead and your head straight and parallel with the floor.
  • Maintain this posture for three minutes. Then change your position with the leg that was previously bended leg to the front now bending behind and the other leg previously bending behind now bending to the front. Maintain this posture for three minutes also.

This technique can pull the back and the connected ligaments and tendons, the shoulders, and shoulder blades. You yourself can use it at home to treat joint inflammation and pain, frozen shoulders, shoulder pain, etc.

La-Jing can even cure high blood pressure and arm pain.

Cautions

You can perform La-Jing in the area surrounding your back and its connected ligaments and tendons and the area around your shoulder and shoulder blades. This activity can also address shoulder inflammation and pain as well as frozen shoulder syndrome.

  1. If you are suffering from chronic physical weakness, osteoporosis, heart problems, or high blood pressure, you may first need to consult with your doctor to see if La-Jing is right for you. This may be necessary since La-Jing exercise can initially cause pain before its benefits can be attained. While you experience pain, your blood pressure may rise, and your heartbeat may also beat faster. You need to avoid break or bone splits if you have osteoporosis. People who are physically weak may faint from the pain. Sick and elderly should take it easy when performing La-jin. To prevent blood from rush to your head, you may need to put a pillow below your head. The benefits may manifest soon enough if you continue on a long-term basis.
  • During the exercise, if you experience hyperventilation, cold sweats, coldness, numbness, or if your face starts turning blue, the best way to overcome these issues is to use a plastic or paper bag and breathe into it with your mouth or nose. The symptoms should be gone after five minutes, and you return to normal once again.

To ascertain whether you need La-Jing, bend typically and determine yourself whether your hands reach the ground. You definitely need La-Jing if the gap between the ground and your hands is more than 15 inches.

You can perform La-practically anywhere but its best if you practice it near your office wall, near a tree trunk, or on a park bench. You practice it without chairs on a room floor while elevating one leg straight on the wall and the other leg sliding to the side floor against an object for support.

La-jing is a holistic type of TCM body healing. It is quite dissimilar from the Western medicine approach of treating the feet for feet pains” or “treating the head for headaches. The La-Jing technique doesn’t require any understanding of acupoints. It is simply used to move and relax the energy channels. “There is blockage if there is pain. There is no pain if there is free flow.” La-Jing is a natural form healing that doesn’t have side effects and can eliminate various forms of pain naturally.

Stomach Cupping Therapy For Abdominal Problems

Constipation is a problem people don’t really like to talk about, and like to experience even less. In the realm of stomach problems, constipation may be just the tip of the iceberg. Other frequently occurring issues like diarrhea, distention, and IBS can all be addressed using stomach cupping. People will do all sorts of things with varying levels of success just to avoid these discomforts. The fact is many of these issues stem from avoiding certain foods, changing their diet, and adding other foods. On a case-by-care basis, some of these things can be good, but if you regularly consume caffeine, chocolate, sugar, meat, or processed foods, you may want to consider a safe and efficient therapy such as cupping that can enhance your digestion significantly.

All forms of cupping treatments have a few things in common. It involves the use negative suction or pressure that draws your skin away from your body. It increases blood flow to the treated areas, removes toxins in the body, breaks up fascial adhesions, and in the case of stomach cupping, boosts digestion. During a session of stomach cupping therapy, the practitioner will first apply oil to your stomach, then cups are placed and slid clockwise over the stomach where the intestines are located. This stretches and expands the organs in your stomach, and you may feel some discomfort and weirdness in the area of treatment, but pain is very rarely felt. In addition to increasing the movement of waste, the therapy also improves bile flow and encourages regular bowel movements.

How Does Stomach Cupping Work?

As you digest food, the process known as peristalsis enables it to go through the intestines. Peristalsis is a wave-like contraction of the muscles that moves waste. Massage can imitate this process by the administering a wave-like motion massage on the colon or large intestine. The massage may also involve compression, which isn’t always comfortable for the client. So, in addition to being very helpful, one can imagine how cupping can improve that movement by opening up the intestine to create more space. This is what stomach cupping can do.

Whether you’re in good health or not, if you regularly struggle with IBS or constipation or if you’re simply looking for a way maintain a healthy stomach, talk to a qualified Chinese medicine practitioner or acupuncturist in Cleveland to see if stomach cupping is appropriate for you.
