Session 1 – Deep Healing All Day Long

Pete Bissonette: This is Pete Bissonette of Learning Strategies.

Chunyi Lin: And this is Chunyi Lin of Spring Forest Qigong.

Pete Bissonette: You’re listening to the Deep Healing program and the first session called “Deep Healing All Day Long.”

Chunyi Lin: And my friend, the purpose is to help you with your Spring Forest Qigong practice so you can help heal yourself quicker and so you can go deeper into the emptiness and experience more peace and happiness.

Pete Bissonette: Each session will begin with a 60-minute conversation with Chunyi so he can share his wisdom with you. And if you’re listening to the session live on the Internet, you can type in questions any time during the session. After the first hour Chunyi will answer the questions, and we’ll do our best to get through all the questions for you. If you have any questions in-between sessions, you’re welcome to email us, call us at our office at Learning Strategies, visit our online discussion forum, or even leave a post on Facebook for us. A recording of this session will be placed in your online library tomorrow. You’ll find instructions in your reminder email for today’s session. And then between now and the next session, we’ll also place in your library any handouts or charts we create for you as well as transcripts of the sessions.

So as an example, today Chunyi will talk about the 100 days of Qigong. Tomorrow you’ll find in your library the 100 Days of Qigong chart. Chunyi, it’s time to turn the session over to you.

Chunyi Lin: Alright. Thank you, Pete. And let’s get started with a two- or three-minute meditation, so please get ready. And I want you to close your eyes and relax.

Put a big smile on your face and feel how happy you are at this moment. Now you close your eyes. Drop your shoulders, feel how good you feel, and you know, at this moment, you own this moment. You’re going to have this moment solely for yourself. Let all the concerns and worries, any thoughts, any things you need to think about be put aside. And then focus on your lower Dantian. See there’s a beautiful light shining right there in your lower Dantian, which is deep in behind the navel. And then you take three gentle, deep breaths. While you’re taking the deep breath you notice your physical body is there. And then you notice your mind, your heart, your spirit are right there with you, and you feel you’re so grounded.

And at this moment, you feel your heart is so open. Every cell of your body is vibrating with this joy, with this peace. When you come out from this session, you will feel so satisfied. You will feel


you’re downloaded with wisdom from the universe to guide you through the day, helping you to heal quicker, helping you to feel the deep joy from your heart.

While you’re listening to me, you can invite anyone you love to join us in this call. And feel you’re so grounded, and now you see the light in your lower Dantian; it’s getting brighter and brighter. Feel how wonderful you feel. With each deep breath you feel your mind, your heart, your spirit, and your physical body are really joining together as one. And you start feeling this nice warmth from the head to the toe and then you feel so ready for this session. Take a deep breath, and now you can open your eyes.

Integrating Qigong into Your Daily Life

Alright, let’s begin our Deep Healing Session “All Day Long” with Qigong practice in your everyday life.

Lots of people have been asking, how can I practice Qigong every day—while I’m walking, while I’m talking, while I’m watching TV, while I’m traveling? Because Qigong, it is a meditation, even when you do the active exercises. And let’s say you have to focus very, very intensively so you can get the best benefit—well, this is in most people’s minds. Actually when I created Spring Forest Qigong, at the very beginning I went through the same process of mindset. Qigong started in China, and a lot of people think Qigong is so mysterious. When I went to Qigong I had my physical challenges, and in my book Born a Healer and level one of the course, you learn so many of my stories.

I tried everything; nothing could help me. Then I went to Qigong and practiced these simple exercises and expected nothing to happen, but something so deep happened in my heart. It opened my heart; it helped me to get rid of my suicidal depression and also helped me to get rid of the pains in my knees and my back and my neck. So from that moment on, I knew Qigong was very simple, and it was very powerful. I followed my intuition, and I practiced. I followed my master’s guidance, and I practiced. And now I realize every day, everybody does Qigong without noticing it. It is a joy and the whole world should know about this. That’s why I created Spring Forest Qigong, a simple form of Qigong for everyone—for you.

When people ask, well—Spring Forest Qigong, is it for somebody specifically? My answer is always no. Spring Forest Qigong is for you. You are the one. You are the master of yourself. Now why did I say that Qigong can be practiced while you’re walking, while you’re watching TV, while you’re sleeping and doing any other things during the daytime? First of all, the message I always give to people is everybody was born a healer. The mission of Spring Forest Qigong is a healer in every family and a world without pain, because you were born a healer. You were born with this beautiful gift. You can help yourself to heal and you can help others to heal too. And so number two, the most powerful healing energy in the entire universe is love—is unconditional love. As long as you remember, you’ll bring this love energy to come out to help you any place you go to, in any situation. You can help yourself to heal.


Breathing

So now when we come to the specific techniques, the first one is the breathing. No matter what, every minute you have to breathe, right? And as long as you have to breathe, then you got a key to help yourself to open the channels in your body. So no matter if you are working—you are working at your desk, you are walking, or you are running—you focus on the breathing. Breathing slowly, gently, and deeply—remember this. Breathe slowly, gently, and deeply.

Every day the rhythm we do with our breathing is about 20 times a minute, so if we can slow down our breathing to 10 times a minute, dramatically we can help ourselves to reduce our stress, to help to bring the high blood pressure down. We know stress is the number one cause of any energy blockages in the body. So when you slow down your breathing just like that, now you can help yourself to reduce your stress that much. And now if you follow Spring Forest Qigong techniques to breathe, you can help yourself to bring the breathing rhythm down to even six times a minute. When you do so, every cell of your body is going to get more oxygen, the basic energy fuel for your body.

The techniques we teach you to breathe is to use the whole body to breathe. I had a conversation with Pete the other day. He said, “Well, you know, literally you can breathe through your skin.”

I said, “Yeah, so can I.”

And he said, “You know this, and now many people thought it was only a metaphor.”

I said, “Well, no. It is real.” So when I opened my arms, and I mean I lifted up the sleeves of my arms, and I have him look at my neck, and so when I breathe, wow. Goosebumps all over my body—that is the moment I am sucking in the energy from the skin all over the body.

The skin has to function, and you focus on the skin, and the skin can breathe naturally. And if we focus on the skin to breathe, we help to activate this ability of the skin to balance the body much quicker. And when every pore of the skin gets the oxygen, gets this energy, and every part of the body can get this energy so evenly—that’s why you can help yourself with a better look on your skin, and you’ll look younger, and every cell of the body is having more energy. And then when your body has more energy, then the messages in the body can travel much better. And you can help yourself to heal faster.

Walking

So while you’re walking you can focus on the breathing—inhale, collecting the energies through the skin and then putting it into the lower Dantian. When you exhale, you see the extra energy, the tiredness, the sickness, the pain, and anything you don’t need in the body coming out from every part of the body, shooting to the ends of the universe. Do that kind of visualization. It is just so, so solid, helping you to balance the body quickly.


Traveling

And while you’re traveling you can do the Small Universe, alright, and the Small Universe can help you to balance your jet lag. And I know I travel very often, and so when I go back to China and come back, I don’t have any of these challenges at all while I’m traveling. And so I just sit in the airport, and sit in the airplane, and either way, do my meditation. And then I open my eyes and I watch TV and enjoy it and breathe slowly.

Loving Yourself

Then the other thing is, every day when you start the day no matter what you do, you feel happy, feel joy in your heart. When you look at yourself in the mirror, you talk to yourself—“I’m happy today”—and you put a smile on your face and look at yourself. And you make sure you got that smile—a true smile on your face—and you love yourself and you love your eyes and love your head and love your feet—any part of your body. And tell them you love them to start the day. That takes only one or two minutes. And then during the daytime, no matter how busy you are, you just remind your body and you remind yourself, I am happy. I love myself. By doing so you’ll put yourself in such a beautiful healing environment, and the body listens to you. When your body feels happy, your body is constantly producing this basic energy, the vitality—good balancing energy to help to balance the acidic energy in the body.

And at the end of the day, you won’t feel that tired. And then if you have any challenges—physical challenges, emotional challenges—send this message in your mind when you start the day. All the pain in my body will be gone. I’ll be completely healed. Or all my depression will be gone. I’ll be completely healed. If you have something specific you want to say and you want to heal, you say it aloud, three times. For instance, you’ll have a knee pain and you say, My knee pains will be gone. I’ll be completely healed. I love you my knee. My knee pain is gone. I’ll be completely healed, completely healed. And when you repeat that with your heart, you put this message from your conscious mind into your subconscious mind, even during the daytime. You’re so busy meeting your deadline and working so hard—your subconscious mind still is doing that for you. Isn’t that beautiful?

You might not notice it right away. Doing it for a while, you’ll feel Wow. That works. And you’ll send your love—you’ll send your blessing to that particular part of the body once in a while. You don’t have to do it every minute, and you don’t have the time to do it in that way, so you just focus on that like one or two or three times during the day. And in the evening before you go to bed, say it one more time. That is such a profound healing for you.

Watching TV, Other Activities

And then when you stand—and when you watch TV and you can stand—you’re bouncing. While you’re watching TV that is a great time to exercise. I will talk a little bit more about, you know, standing a little bit later. Then you—and if you got like five minutes during the daytime and you close your eyes and do the Small Universe—so in any of these events and situations you can do


Qigong. And one minute over here and one minute over there—at the end of the day you will find wow. You got almost like a one-hour time to practice your Qigong.

Sleeping

And now Qigong can help you to improve your sleeping significantly. You know why people have a hard time to fall asleep? Because you have so many things to worry about, and you are afraid of so many things. Look at babies. They don’t have that many things to worry about. They get fed and then they just fall asleep. And then they get up and eat and fall asleep and laugh, and when they’re hungry again, they just cry for food. Alright, it is just too simple.

So Lao Tzu said, “Can we live like a baby? Can we breathe like a baby?” That is just so simple. So first of all you let go with your worries. Let go with your concerns. Look at yourself. How many worries and concerns you have every day actually come true in your lifetime? Not that many, right? So let go with that and at least when you sleep, you tell yourself, I’m going to take this time solely for myself. I appreciate you, my worries, and my concerns. I want you to go to sleep too, until we wake up and we can—we can talk to each other. How about that? Right? You have a conversation with your worries and with your busy mind, right?

Focus on Body, Feelings

And then the second thing is you do Qigong, like doing this simple movement, actually you invite you to bring your focus back to your body. Everyday you’re going here and there. So much work, work, work—many things you have to do. Now you have to go to work. You have to make the phone call. You have to cook. You have to do this and that. And how many things do you say you don’t have to?

Well, here, Qigong brings you back to the focus on your physical body, and you feel the moment your body is there doing this movement. So in Qigong practice you feel the presence of your physical body. You feel the tingling sensation, you feel this nice breeze running through your hands and your face and your torso and any other parts of the body. When you feel this feeling in your body, you bring the focus to your body and you nurture your body. That’s the time the body feels peace. The body feels relaxed.

When the body feels peace, feels the relaxation, every cell in the body gets rejuvenated, and then you have more energy to run. So when you do the Small Universe, do the Butterfly meditation, do the Self-Concentration meditation, actually, you are doing this for your body. And focus on the lower Dantian. You bring the focus in your lower Dantian. See the light in your lower Dantian. That is the center of your vitality.

You don’t allow the energy running all over anymore, which is depleting your energy in the body. And so you get the energy back to your lower Dantian to center your energy. Then you know when you’re ready to go up and you have more energy to run.


Focus on Beauty

Well the other things I’d like to you remember are don’t read those very exciting stories and novels or watch those scary movies, exciting movies, before you go to bed. Don’t do that because the images you take in your mind—it’s just so active, and so you have a hard time to fall asleep. The best thing to do is to find a beautiful poem to read, to recite. So pick up a wisdom messages book and read the wisdom messages for the day—aha. And then you think deeply about the message. You know, for instance, life is good. Do you feel that? Hmm—you think about this one, right? Life is good. Yeah, many things are so good in my life. Although I have a few challenges, but most of the things are so good. The sun is shining, and you know, the breathing, and the moon, and the nature, and the food. Wow. So when you focus on those beautiful things in your body, and your body tends to relax more and more deeply, that can help you to bring yourself deep into sleeping.

So these are all parts of Qigong. Then the Qigong meditation, the Small Universe meditation, Self-Concentration, and the active exercises, and whatever you like—they can all help you to bring your sleeping so deep.

Best Time To Practice

Now people also ask me many times, now what is the best time to practice Qigong? Well, the best time is, you know, whenever you feel good, that is the best time. Alright, so that is the bottom line, and if you feel morning is good for you, then do it in the morning. You feel afternoon is better for you, then you do it in the afternoon. So follow your body; follow your time schedule.

Now this is a very basic guideline you can follow. Now first of all, why we need to follow—I mean, different seasons and different times of the day the energy is different in the nature. And the body’s energy is following the same philosophy, the same law of the nature. So if you can follow the law of the nature to do your work, to do your exercise, to help yourself to heal, then you spend less time and achieve more benefit. So first of all, let me talk about the seasons.

Spring, summer, fall, and winter—four seasons, different seasons. The sun and the energy and the moon, they are in different positions. And then the body lives in this environment, so the body has to follow the same law of the nature. And like in the spring, you know, that’s the liver times, the wood time. Well you see the leaves are all coming out and getting ready to blossom in the summertime. And everything is growing so quickly and flowers are getting ready, you know, trees produce into fruit and animals are busy working outside. And the energy in the earth is great and is wakening up.

And in the fall now it’s the—after all this excitement of the day, of the month—now the energy starts going to the harvesting time. So then the body follows the same philosophy too, and so now in the wintertime all the energy goes back to the root, to the earth. And the body, the liver, is the wood, is the springtime. Summer is the heart. And then in the fall, that’s the lung system. And the winter, that is the kidney energy system.


In the springtime and the summertime, in the morning when you see the sun coming up, it’s so strong, so powerful. So in the morning the yang energy is stronger—in the afternoon up to 3:00. And then the sun goes down, and then the yin energy starts kicking in. So now the yin energy is getting stronger and stronger starting from 2:00 or 3:00 p.m. in the afternoon. In the fall and the winter, in the morning, the yin energy is stronger. And in the afternoon after 12:00 p.m., the yang energy starts kicking in and getting stronger and stronger.

So if you can do these active exercises in the morning during the spring and summertime you are going to get more benefit for helping yourself to cultivate the qi to help you inside and outside. You can help yourself to cultivate, to bring in more qi from outside to benefit inside.

Now in the fall and the wintertime, if you can find some time in the afternoon after 3:00 to 9:00 p.m.—this period of time—to do the active exercises, you’re going to get more benefit than in the morning, generally speaking, because at that time the active exercise is a yang energy. In the fall and the wintertime in afternoon, that’s the yang energy—it’s very strong. And then if you seize this time to practice your exercises, I mean the active exercises, then you’re going to get more benefit.

Energy Channels – Help Detoxify, Gain, and Balance Energy

And then here about the daytime—generally speaking, first of all you look at your body—how the body receives energy and detoxifies. Now in order to help the body to detoxify, first of all we need to know a little bit about the body. Two channels in the body are mainly in charge of detoxifying. That is the stomach channel and the bladder channel—those two channels. And then the energy channels to help the body to gain energy—that is the liver energy channel and the kidney energy channels. And the energy channels that help to balance this too—the heart energy channels. So generally speaking, we’re talking about three parts—detoxifying, energy gaining, and energy balancing. So now the body, if it needs this, now we know how to use the time better to balance, to gain energy, and to detoxify for the body.

So during the daytime, morning from 5:00 to 9:00 a.m., these are the times the body is detoxifying and gaining energy through the stomach channels. And first of all—at 5:00 a.m., right—that’s the last part of the large intestines when in the morning you get up, you need to go to bathroom to detoxify.

After that, now you need to eat. That’s the stomach channels kicking on. If you, generally speaking, eat a breakfast and eat lunch before noon—especially before 11:00 a.m.—if you eat, even if you overeat—it’s very unlikely you’re going to gain that much weight because the stomach channel is so strong-working. It has all the energy you need to detox, to digest all the food you take in. And then it gives the energy to the liver. It gives the energy to the kidneys. It gives the energy to the heart. So the stomach channels—that digestive system—is working so beautifully at that period of time.

Now in the afternoon, the stomach channels stop working. And if you eat more in the afternoon, now it’s—you know, people tend to eat in the evening, and you have a big meal. Actually that is


a mistake, I’ll tell you. Please forgive me. If you eat a big meal and are very full in the evening, your body doesn’t have that kind of energy to digest all the food properly, so a lot of waste gets cut out in your system and it turns into fat. So then at noon time, that is the heart energy channel working, and in the late—in the evening starting from 7:00 to 11:00 p.m.—that is in the heart energy channel also working, too. That is mainly for the lymph system, for the heart protection. The channels, you know, they’re working. So if you can find the time during the noon time and in the evening after 10:00 p.m., especially 11:00 p.m. to 1:00 a.m.—at that time, if you can meditate, that is the best for meditation.

And in the morning—5:00 to 9:00 a.m. to do the active exercise. When you do the active exercise, you help to enhance the energy flow in the stomach channel. And the stomach channel not only helps you to detoxify, it helps you to get more energy to the digestive system. So on one stone you have two birds, you know. I don’t like this eating, right? And that means do one thing and you get so many benefits at the same time.

Then in the afternoon from 3:00 to 7:00 p.m., in this true period, if you do exercises, that will help you to strengthen your kidney energy. You’ll get more energy taken in for your kidneys, for your vitality. So that’s a great time.

Now something specific for you—for yourself—if you have a liver or lymph system problem, healing with a cancer, healing with any tumors and autoimmune system problems, find morning time to practice the active exercises. You’re going to get more benefit by doing the active exercises than doing the sitting meditation. Now here I’m telling you that basic rule, alright, and some people like to do sitting meditation. That is absolutely beautiful, too. And if you feel that is the best time for you to meditate, especially people that do the night shift work. And, you know, it’s not convenient for you to do exercises in the evening. So you can do that in the morning, too.

And then the kidneys are, the kidney’s energy—you do it (active exercises) in the afternoon between 3:00 to 7:00 p.m., for people who have diabetes, like insulin situation and kidney failure—that kind of thing. That is a very great time to practice the active exercise. And for the lungs, absolutely in the morning—between 5:00 to 9:00 a.m., if you can find the time to practice half an hour—and the longer, the better. And for heart, do it at noon. Do it at midnight. And take good rests because the heart really wants a good rest.

And when the heart energy channel is opening up and on duty, if you do the active exercise and a little bit of active exercises and then the sitting meditation at noon time, that will help the heart to balance the energy so beautifully. And no matter what, go to bed before 11:00 p.m., for longevity, alright, for the beauty of your face, and because at that time, you know, your liver and your gallbladder channels open, and it helps to detoxify. It helps to balance the energy and heal the body, and if you can do so, that will be so beautiful. Absolutely no—don’t stay up until 1:00 a.m., and don’t drink alcohol during that time. Don’t eat anymore, even if you feel hungry. You can drink some water; just don’t eat anything, and it will be better for your health.


Good, Better, and Best

Alright, now what we do when we talk all about this—and some things you can do and some things you cannot do—you’ll have a lot of questions in your mind. And here in Spring Forest Qigong we constantly remind you—we’re always coming from good, better, and best. There’s not any judgment in doing Qigong at all. There’s no right, no wrong; it’s only good, better, and best. Find the time which is good for you and practice. When you practice, that’s good. When you do more, you make it better, and from the better, then you make it the best.

When I went to college the first English poem I learned was Good, better, best—never let it rest until good is better and then better, best. I really love that so, and sometimes in my practice they can say, “Oh, you know, so yesterday I felt so much, and my hands, tingling, and my hands were warm, and my face and I turned red, and I just felt this energy flow, and now today I feel nothing. But then I doubt, you know, whether I was doing the right thing. But you know what, now this little poem got me through the day. Okay, Good, better, best—never let it rest until good is better and then better, best. A-ha. Then I came to where I am now, and so every day I’m living in joy. I’m living in peace. I’m harvesting this qi from the universe, and I just feel so much joy every day within.

Alright, so as long as you do it, it is good. Remember that, alright? And Qigong is not like a one- time deal. It is your lifetime philosophy. It is just like when you exercise. And can I exercise 10 hours today and then the rest of the year I don’t need to exercise? No way, your body was not built, was not programmed, in that way.

From ancient time to nowadays, our ancestors already programmed our body and we had to work. We have to exercise and we have to get on our feet to walk, to run, to exercise. We have to use our hands. In our hands, in the body, we have 12 major energy channels—six end or start from the hand and six start or end in the feet. So when you move your hands, when you move your feet, you help to energize the body by giving the body more energy because you have to activate the energy channels in the body.

Now the thumb is the lung energy channel. The index finger is the large intestine. The middle finger is the heart. The ring finger is the pancreas and the triple heaters, and now the little finger—the pinkie finger—has two channels connected—another heart channel and then the small intestine channel. So by moving your hands and your fingers, you help yourself to strengthen your energy channels. You help your body to gain energy from the hand and flow the energy to the internal organs. So you got to move your hands. Qigong is such a profound way to help you to move the energy. You open your fingers slightly and move your hands gently from different directions, and it depends on what movement you’re doing. And then automatically you’re going to gain that energy, no matter what, alright?

So find the time to do it. When you do it, you’ll feel good, and when you do it more, you’re getting better, and from the better, you’re going to get the best.


100 Days of Qigong

And now because of that we have that 100 Days of Qigong practice chart for you, and you may say, Oh wow, 100 days. That is difficult for me to do. Well if you’re thinking that this body is your body, you are helping yourself to nurture your body. Then you’re going to make time. Everybody has 24 hours a day; you have 24 hours there. If you think you want to live a longer life, you want to enjoy your life better, you want to taste the food better, you want to see more people in the world, you want to have the flexibility and the energy to travel more and see more in your lifetime, then you’ve got to have a good, strong physical body—a healthy body, right? So if you think that way, hey, 100 days, that is not a big deal at all. So you make time for yourself.

You find the time in a day to practice either active exercise or sitting meditation or both. And then the best is to, when you make time for yourself, the best is to find the same time of the day. Here I’m telling you the best. If you cannot do it, that’s okay. Again, it’s good, better, and best, alright. If you find the same time to practice during these 100 days, you will find this is so amazing later on in your life. One day when you’ve finished these 100 days, one day you are so busy and got caught up with so many things and you simply just don’t have a minute for yourself at all, or you don’t have two months to practice Qigong at all—your body still does that for you, Qigong.

That is still an amazing thing of Qigong; it is not like other things where if you don’t practice, then the energy level is going to drop, and you’re going to start from the zero ground, from the beginning, where you started—no, not at all. When you’ve finished this 100 days practice, your energy stays in the level forever, for the rest of your life. I experienced that, and many, many masters have said the same thing. So the way you time your 100 days is like this; practice 49 days, and then take one day off. And this day you don’t do Qigong at all. Just enjoy yourself laying on the beach and listening to the waves and a bird singing, you know, whatever. Just be silly for that day. And then after that, continue another 49 days practice, and then take another day off, then you’ve finished these 100 days of Qigong.

And now once you’ve finished these 100 days of Qigong and your energy level stays right there, if you want to continue, that’s of course beautiful. And actually, you know, you’re already programmed, and now every day, automatically you’re going to find the time to practice. That’s the beauty of it, and that already becomes part of your life. Just like in the morning you like a cup of coffee, and hey, you take time to make coffee, right? At the very beginning you might feel Ah, this is just so inconvenient. Well after you now make it for two months and three months, you know, you love it, and you love to do the morning activity—making coffee and making tea. Well, I don’t drink coffee, but many Westerners love coffee. That’s why I pick up the word coffee.

So find the time to practice. And then allow yourself to be programmed, and once that’s set, then you’re done—that is it.


Length of Practice

Now when you find the time, how much time is the best length of time for you to practice Qigong? That depends. Generally speaking, half an hour to start; that is a very good amount of minutes to begin your practice, because the body takes about 30 minutes to have the energy to run one cycle. The best is two hours, because the first half an hour works as spring and the second half an hour works as summer and the third half an hour, fall, and the fourth half an hour, winter. So you form a cycle, a complete cycle.

Now if you don’t have that much time—say I only had got five minutes or ten minutes or fifteen minutes—even one or two minutes, you know—what should I do? And in Level One Qigong you’ve got so many exercises there. Now which movement am I going to take, right? So let’s say you got five minutes, I would encourage you to just focus on one movement and bouncing the body, bouncing the body. That movement (Qigong bouncing) is very good. You’re bouncing for five minutes. And when you bounce and you move your legs up and down a little bit by focusing on your knees, you help to form a lot of vitality from the feet up to your head. It helps to balance the body quicker.

Then Moving of Yin and Yang, that is a very good exercise for you. If you got 10 minutes, I would encourage you to do slowly one movement like Moving of Yin and Yang. That is the priority of Spring Forest Qigong for active exercise. You focus on the column of the energy right in the middle in the torso, see the light traveling up and down, observing how the energy flows inside, and feel the feeling in your hands, the tingly feeling sensation; it is just so beautiful. And in these 10 minutes you can bring the focus from outside into inside. And you notice this moment you are doing the exercises.

Simply you just notice it. By noticing it, what you are doing in these 10 minutes, you help yourself to rejuvenate every organ, every cell, so quickly. Your mind might take off here and there up to a few seconds—focus and it takes off. Well, when that happens, just simply, gently, friendly invite your mind back. Focus upon that moment—feeling how good you feel, feel the energy flow, you know.

And then if you have 15 minutes, I would encourage you to do the Harmony of the Universe. That one helps you to balance your brain energy—your left brain, your right brain, the balance of the nerve system and the digestive system, the liver, and the coordination of the legs and the hands and the body. And that is a very good exercise for 15 minutes.

Then if you have only two minutes, I would do the spinal exercises (that are part of the Harvesting of Qi or ending exercises) like dolphin the body and dolphin the neck, and hold your arms at the shoulder level and swing from side to side, and balance the energy in the spine, because the spine is very important. All the nerves, the central nerves go through the spine and then go out, connecting to different organs. If the spine is not straight, if the spine—or each piece or even one piece is not in alignment with the whole spine—it makes a pressure to the nerve. When that part of the nerve is pressed, the information cannot travel through that part to the appropriate organ, and then that organ doesn’t have a good communication with the rest body—with the headquarters. Sooner or later that part of the body is going to get sick. So constantly give yourself


a chiropractic work in helping yourself to balance your spine. Swing your elbows from side to side and dolphin your neck spine and dolphin your whole torso. That is a very good exercise to do.

And then another exercise is tapping the tailbone. The tailbone is the gate of vitality. When the tailbone is pressed for too long by sitting, you don’t have that much energy to flow up to the waist, and you don’t have that much energy to flow up along the spine to the base of the head, and it ends up that you feel tired easily. And if this happens in an organ, then you tend to gain more weight. And then a lot of things we know about a tailbone, right? I talked a lot about that in the self-learning course.

So find the time to tap the tailbone—five seconds—you just need five seconds. And of course if you got five minutes, you know, that’s a great thing, too, especially for those people who have problems in their reproductive organs and the bladder. If you find five or ten minutes every day to tap your tailbone, that is such a great healing for your reproductive organs. So tap the tailbone gently.

If those people who have damage—a lot of soreness in the tail bone—you don’t tap on the tailbone itself. You tap on the side of the tailbone, the muscles on the shin area and the butt, you know, tapping. And use the vibration to go to that part of the body, and I mean the tailbone. That vibration can help to open up the channels in the tailbone and then drive the energy from the tailbone up along the spine, balancing the spine and nurturing the spine, and then bring the energy up to the head. That could help you to improve your memory. That is a great, great benefit. I do that every day many times from five seconds to thirty seconds, and that’s the amount of time I’m doing it.

The Harvesting of Qi, the exercises—they’re very, very beneficial, and you can use those little movements. Break it out to help yourself with different parts of the body from five seconds to ten seconds to one minute. And again, use your mind to do the exercises. That is another part of Qigong. If you get so busy you simply—you just don’t have one minute to do the active movement—well, use your mind, alright. Put a smile on your face and relax yourself. While you’re listening to a lecture, and you think you can take a minute for yourself, just close your eyes and run the Small Universe and feel how good you feel. And drop your shoulders and focus on your lower Dantian and breathe deeply. Even three breaths can help you to bring that energy back.

Sitting and Standing

Now, one more thing I’d like to talk about is at work a lot of people are sitting and a lot of people standing. For those people who are sitting for too long, that actually will deplete your vitality. And people standing too long, that will also deplete your energy and gradually you’re going to develop spider veins.

So how you can help yourself with that? Well, first of all, about sitting—and when you sit, you don’t sit on your tailbone. Once in a while, move up a little bit, or you can roll a towel, a bath towel, and put it on the back. Keep the spine straight, and that’s a very good thing to do. And then the other thing you do while you’re sitting at your desk and working on your computer,


take a moment to lift your heel up—the toes touch to the ground. You don’t need to lift them up too high; you know, just a little bit that’s good enough. And you can give it a try at this moment. When you lift your heel up like that, the muscle in the stomach is working, right? And when you get tired, then you switch. And then you lift your toes up and the heel is touching the ground. And constantly, you do it. Hold it like five minutes and then switch, you know. By doing so, you help to calm the energy to your stomach, and it helps you to strengthen your digestive system. It helps you to detoxify better, and it also helps you to gain more energy to your kidneys. And also, in a certain level, it can help you to control your weight.

Then when you stand—especially those people who stand a lot—and most of the people when they stand, they stand with the knees locked. When you lock your knees, the energy from the legs cannot be pumped out to the upper part of the body, to the head. So then later on you feel a kind of numbness in your feet—you know, the numbness in your legs—and especially those people who have diabetes and that makes it even worse. But you know what, if you bend your knees a little, once you bend your knees a little, the muscles start pumping. The little pumps are pumping the energy, slowly moving up. And now that is such a great thing for the entire body. If you bend your knees to cook, if you bend your knees to answer a call, that helps you even in the bone marrow level, to balance the energy.

So this is why in all these exercises, I mean active exercises, I ask you to bend your knees a little. If you want to lose weight, you bend your knees more. When you bend your knees like that—if you hold it like 10 minutes to half an hour—so very slowly and deeply you activate that vitality. And this vitality goes to the bone marrow, goes to the muscles, goes to the skin—to activate the energy on one level and then the other, slowly up to the top of the head.

So it is a very, very solid and good healing for the entire body and it helps you to strengthen your kidney energy, too, because the kidney energy—strong or weak—depends on the strength of the legs. A person’s kidney energy—vitality—starts going downhill. The first place is your legs. So if you strengthen your legs standing like that, every minute you are strengthening your vitality, you’re going to live longer, and you’ll have more energy to cope with any virus and flu and colds and energy imbalance in the body—anything. So it is such a great gift that God gave to us. So bend your knees a little, put a smile on your face, do your exercises, do your meditation, let go with the worries, activate the love energy from your heart starting from your good and make it better. And then from better, you’ll harvest the best, and you can make it through.

Now hold the healing for your entire day.

So now that’s what I’d like to share with you in this session. So Pete, you have any questions?

Pete Bissonette: Chunyi, we have a lot of questions. So I’ve been trying to sort them in different categories and different groups of people, so let’s just start at the top. And what we’ll do if we are not able to get through all of them during the session—we’ll figure out how to get to people individually in-between the sessions with answers or maybe even we’ll end up recording a separate question and answer session.


So the first question is from Angelica and she says, “Dear Master Lin, you said that the best time for the Small Universe meditation is between 11:00 p.m. and 1:00 a.m. On the other hand you suggest in the winter to go to bed early. So can I then meditate earlier and even get better results?”

Chunyi Lin: Oh, yes. Absolutely. So up to like 10:00 p.m., the body is really, really going to settle down. So if you do the Small Universe earlier, absolutely. And you’ll help to open up the channels, like getting things ready. When you sleep and in your subconscious, the energy starts running even better, so you know, if you can, you can do that. And also before you go to bed at like 10:00 p.m. or even 9:00 p.m., you know, you start doing the exercises, and that will be just so beautiful.

Let me tell you one more thing over here is when you look at the Chinese symbol about this time, it’s high. You know, that’s the Chinese sign, right? And the symbol is a husband and his pregnant wife holding each other sleeping. So that symbol tells the yin and yang energy and then it is also a symbol of giving hope, giving balance, giving beautiful outcomes of this time when you go to bed. So that is the symbol. So if you find the time at this time to practice the Small Universe, then when you are soundly asleep at 11:00 p.m., your body continues to do the movement for you. Because at that time—11:00 p.m. to 1:00 a.m.—the front channel and the back channel, the governing channel and the yin channel, automatically connect, so you’re going to have more energy. So thank you.

Pete Bissonette: Chunyi, Sharon is asking, “Does meditating from 2:00 a.m. to 3:00 a.m. have an advantage over meditating during the day or before going to bed?”

Chunyi Lin: Um, 2:00 a.m. to 3:00 a.m.?

Pete Bissonette: Yeah, so it sounds like she’s asking, “Should I get up in the middle of the night to meditate?”

Chunyi Lin: Well, I would encourage you not to, and I would encourage you to just, you know, sleep at that time unless you are doing very special training for yourself. Like the time when I was in a cave and I was doing that kind of intensive meditation and training—yes. And I trained myself to do that, but in the daily life I don’t encourage you to do that. And then another thing is from 2:00 to 3:00 a.m.—at that time, you know—the liver energy is working. If you meditate, that’s okay if you have liver problems. If you meditate very deeply, that helps. If your meditation is not deep, that doesn’t help. People who have anemia, you know, if you do meditation at that time it actually is not good for the body because your liver needs to be very, very quiet so it can help to detoxify and generate and maybe collect more blood and make better use of the blood, especially for women—that is ever more critical, alright?

Pete Bissonette: Chunyi, a couple of people are asking about when you do brief meditations or short periods of active exercise like maybe 5 minutes or 10 minutes. Should you still wait 20 minutes or so before going to the bathroom or before eating? And should you still do the ending exercises when you do a real brief meditation or practice?

Chunyi Lin: Okay, so we got the ending exercises, so you can do it any time and yes, if you can do


one or two movements, you know, to end your meditation that will be great because the ending movements can help you to wake up from the meditation and bring your energy to the right position for you to function for the rest of the day. So, you know, I encourage you to do that, and you don’t have to do the whole thing.

Now about the time and how much time you need to wait, here’s what I prefer between your meditation and active exercises, and going to the bathroom and to eat. When you do the exercises, no matter how much time you do them, you collect a lot of energy to your kidneys, to your lower Dantian. And when you use the bathroom right away, more or less, you’re going to deplete the energy. So if you have to go, what should you do? Well, now, here is a technique, and it’s very simple.

When you use the bathroom, at that moment you focus on your heart. You don’t focus on the lower part of the body. You just let the extra energy go out and then you focus on your heart. You even focus on your throat now at that moment. So then a good energy is going to stay and only the extra energy you don’t need in the body goes out.

And then the other thing is you can lift your heels a little while you’re using your bathroom and that can also help you to protect your vitality. You know, these exercises you can do any time, even when you don’t do Qigong, alright? So anytime when you use the restroom, you focus on the heart, you focus on your throat, and then you don’t lose that much vitality. And this is one of the Taoist practices for longevity for the daily life.

So about eating, and absolutely—up to the meditation exercises, you don’t eat right away. And the best is to wait like 20 minutes, otherwise 5 minutes will be fine if you eat something warm. It’s not cold, not even room temperature, okay? Take in something very warm. If you don’t have anything warm like that—you know, like a water thing—you can take the water in and hold it in your mouth and warm it up a little before you swallow it. That’s the best. And otherwise, you know, the energy is so busy working inside, so warm, and all of the sudden you have something so cold getting in it. It interrupts the energy flow in the body and some people might feel a kind of upset stomach. So I don’t want you to feel that.

Pete Bissonette: Chunyi, Wendy is asking, “What do you mean by the 30-minute cycle?”

Chunyi Lin: Well, the 30-minute cycle and the energy start in the body at one point for instance—from your knee, right? So it starts from over there; it runs through every part of the body. It goes to visit every part of the body, and it comes back to the same place. That takes 28 minutes and 40 seconds—about that. So it’s about like a half an hour to make a cycle.

If it starts from the heart and comes back to the heart, it takes the same amount of time. So that’s why when you do Qigong, you do half an hour to start. It forms a complete cycle of the body, so that is a very good thing to do.

Pete Bissonette: Chunyi, Mark is asking, “What is the visible burst of light that accompanies your healing practices?”


Chunyi Lin: Can you repeat that question one more time?

Pete Bissonette: What is the visible burst of light that accompanies your healing practices?

Chunyi Lin: The burst of the light of the accompanied practices? I don’t quite understand. Can you explain a little bit for me?

Pete Bissonette: I think he’s asking when you’re practicing Qigong and you’re doing meditation and you see the light inside of you…

Chunyi Lin: Uh-huh. Oh.

Pete Bissonette: And he’s asking what that is.

Chunyi Lin: Oh, okay. Now when you see the light, actually that is your third eye opening. When your third eye opens, you have more confidence, and you have more energy, and your energy is more focused. In other words, now you’re—the frequency of the vibration of your energy is in another level. You’re able to connect with a divine energy better and you notice it. Then you use this light to help yourself to balance the body, to heal the body, and it goes much faster to do so. And everything—everything is from light. When you talk about a bottle of water, and your heart, and your fingernails, and you know, they all can interpret into light.

Alright, so when you experience the energy in the light level, that means you are coming to the origin of that form of energy, to experience the messages and information and everything from the origin. So you are able to, you know, get into that moment. If you have your life goal, if you have a purpose, in this light you’ll ask your God, you’ll ask your master, to help you with the healing or anything you want. And this light is going to help you. But once you see this light, you need to trust it. When you ask what you want to do, you need to trust it. If you ask for a small thing, for instance, like heal my pinkie finger paper cut, you know, that takes a couple hours, even a shorter time. If you order a bigger order and just like, you know, you want to build a much bigger house, then that will take a year to do so. So it depends on what purpose you ask the body to do for you in the light. And the bigger the order, you know, the longer time it takes.

Pete Bissonette: Another question about light: “Is it okay to give the light in the lower Dantian a color?”

Chunyi Lin: Oh yes, absolutely. And in any color, you know, you can get different colors and different energy frequency and different vibration and different levels of penetration. And generally speaking, some of the people can see one color first and then another color, you know, from white or yellow and to green to blue and red and purple and then gold. And so in different levels, the power of the energy is different. So if you can see all these colors, hallelujah—you’re good. Just keep going, right? If you don’t see colors, that is also fine, too. If you are doing meditation, if you have confidence in what you’re doing, even if you don’t see the color you’re still at that level, too. The trust is very important and the surrender is very important, alright.


Pete Bissonette: Chunyi, Sally is asking, “What’s the best exercise for overcoming shyness and increasing self-confidence?”

Chunyi Lin: Aha, the exercises. The Small Universe is a very good one. Breathe deeply, and invite the universal energy to come in, and then the active exercise the Moving of Yin and Yang—that exercise is very, very good. While you’re doing these exercises, you say the password. This is very important. I am in the universe. The universe is in my body. The universe and I are one. When you constantly are telling yourself and reminding yourself you are part of the universe and the universe is part of you, hey, now anything you do, it’s only part of you. You have everything under control. So when you go deep and feel this connection with the divine and with the universe, now you are going to have a lot of support.

And now this is what happened to me a long time ago. And actually when I was in high school and even up to when I came out from high school, I was so nervous standing up to speak in public in a, you know, in a small group of people and in front of the class. I was shaking, you know. And now every minute I have fun enjoying the people and hundreds of thousands of people. More people, more people, and I feel more joy.

I remember at the very beginning I gave a speech to three classes when I was in high school. I was so nervous, and I almost passed out. And my teacher came and said, “You look so pale.” And I said, “My teeth are just fighting, you know, making all this noise.” And I used the bathroom every five minutes. Then my teacher said, “You sound very nervous, huh?” And I said, “Yes, yes.” Then he said, “Well, drink some ice water; that will help you.”

We didn’t have ice water at that time. He went to the well to dig a whole bucket of water and I drank it until my stomach felt full. Then I felt better.

So through all these years of Qigong practice, aha, my energy got grounded, and so now I feel people really appreciate you if you speak any time from your heart. And you appreciate them, too. This is an information-sharing, this is a love-sharing, and you know, together we can make this world to become a better place for everyone to enjoy. When you look at this and then you look at yourself—I’m in the universe; the universe is in my body—you know, I’m here for a reason, so now here is the reason. So you look at yourself in that way; a-ha you have the confidence. You have your own contribution to your company and, you know, for your family and for your friends and even for the world. So when you look at yourself in that way—hey—that shyness, that nervousness, it will start going away. So I hope my story can help you. Thank you.

Pete Bissonette: Chunyi, Debbie wrote, “My question is about when I send energy from my heart to the water during your healing phone calls, once I actually felt the rays beaming from my heart. I never felt it again that way. Does that mean it only worked once for me?”

Chunyi Lin: Very good question, thank you. Well, when you focus better and you feel that and when your focus is not that good and then you might not feel that much, but that’s only a feeling. Once you think in that way, once your mind is there—you think you know the energy coming out from your heart to the water—it works all the time. Wherever your mind goes the energy follows—always remember this.


It is just like when you practice Tai Chi—and I don’t know whether you have experience with Tai Chi or not—and when you do Tai Chi, your Tai Chi masters and teachers say your eyes follow your fingers, and your mind focuses on your heart or focuses on your lower Dantian. When your mind follows your fingers and follows your movement, then the energy flows that direction. So that’s the beauty of Tai Chi. So when you do your energy-charging into the water, if your mind focuses on the water, the energy is already in the water. Don’t worry about that, alright? It works all the time, and whether you feel it or you don’t feel it, it is always there.

Pete Bissonette: Chunyi, Candace asks, “I started practicing last year when I was in a lot of pain and I was motivated. Now I feel better and I’m finding it more difficult to continue my practice. Any advice?”

Chunyi Lin: Yeah, most people do the same thing like what you do, and that is so natural. And when you feel good and you feel you have so many things you want to do, and Qigong is like an oh man stuff and I don’t want to sit over there so bored and doing these movements. You know, your mind does take a new thing, right? So again it’s all up to you, and if you feel this is your call, this can help you to gain more energy and can help you to balance your energy quicker and help you to live a longer life—hey, then you’ll have the time to do it, you know?

And when I look back at my life and the past—in this past like almost 30 years now, I only have a few colds—sometimes I got lazy too, alright. I said, “Oh gosh,” I said, “I’m so busy I don’t have time to do my active exercises.” Once I have that, then I just feel so uncomfortable. Okay, so then I get up on my feet and I, you know, I stand and do my work—even for two minutes—I just feel so good because my body already got programmed.

So it is all up to you. So remember, my friend, and find the time to do it. And Qigong is not like a one-time deal shot. It is your lifelong philosophy, and Qigong is a way of life. When you do it consistently, actually it teaches you a lesson. Anything, any difficulties, any hardships you go through, you’re undertaking at this moment, if you don’t give up, every day you’ll face it bravely no matter what. You do it. You never give up, and eventually you are going to have a big, a bigger, even a bigger success.

I know many people when they help themselves to better health, and actually if they continue one more day, one more hour, that blockage will completely get broken down, you know? So just at the last minute they say, “Okay, so I give up.” Well so, I have a lot of people who have cancer. At the very beginning when they do the exercises, they get better and better and better. They feel good and they feel so motivated and then, at the last minute they say, “Oh, okay, this is just so hard, and I’m going to give up.” Once they thought in that way, that negative energy takes over so quick. Alright? So never, never give up, and Qigong teaches you that lesson—that beautiful message.

Pete Bissonette: Chunyi, Leslie asks, “Is there any reason for me wanting to move in a different direction while I’m practicing my active exercises? Is it better to stay in one position?”


Chunyi Lin: Aha, okay. Yeah, the best is to stay with one position. And especially as a beginner, stay in one position. Feel the stillness and move the hands gently until you really, really feel the energy. And then one day—let’s say six months, or one year, or it depends on how many hours you do every day—then when you go so deep in your meditation, your body might intend to move a different direction to do the movements. That is okay; then you listen to your body. That is called simultaneous Qigong. And simultaneous Qigong, it has a lot of benefit. It can help you to direct the energy to a place where the energy is really needed. And then the other thing is, if you go too often with this simultaneous Qigong, you can’t go so deep into the stillness, the oneness, the void, to experience the highest level of frequency you want to experience.

So stand still and do the posture in one position, and once in a while do some of the simultaneous Qigong, and I think that is a good balance.

Pete Bissonette: Chunyi, it’s hard to believe but we’re out of time.

Chunyi Lin: Alright.

Pete Bissonette: But we do have a whole lot of questions, so we’ll figure out how to get those answered, and we’ll get the answers out to folks. And our next session is coming up and that one is called “Deep Healing through Breathing.” That will be coming up in February. So Chunyi, thank you; thank you very much for sharing your wisdom and your love. I know anybody who listens to this session, they’re going to get a lot of benefit if they put into practice what it is that you’ve been talking about. And I think that’s going to be cool. I can’t wait to hear what people are saying when they start to use the advice that you gave them today.

Chunyi Lin: Oh sure, absolutely. That’s why we’re here doing this—to help everyone, to help you experience the deep healing in your life. And thank you, my friend, for being here today, and I will hold you in my meditations until the next time. Thank you, thank you, thank you, and goodbye for now.
