Guest guest Posted April 21, 2005 Report Share Posted April 21, 2005 Hi Thank you for your quick response. When I mentioned the whole problem, I was referring to the underlying reasons (mental/emotional) as to why I have this condition. I have been offered surgery and the western doctor is of the opinion that would be sufficient to resolve this problem. I on the other hand feel that if: 1. the virus (HPV) is not dealt with through the strengthening of my immune system (appart from cutting out the damaged tissue) a reoccurence is highly probable. 2. My mental and emotional state needs to be addressed as well through meditation, yoga qi gong etc. I would like to practice qi gong could anyone recommend a dvd. I know this is perhaps not the best way to discover qi gong, but I am feeling quite delicate and am living in a foreign country where my knowledge of the language is limited at the moment and don't feel upto the stress of taking a class in a foreign language. I suppose I find it quite disturbing that most western doctors forget to consider the Whole person! Thank you for your help.

Doing Qi Gong in community is a factor. You'd be surprised how much of a class is nonverbal. For the explainations in English, you could try Kenneth S. Cohen's book " The Way of QiGong " . A down side of a DVD is there is no community feeling. You can close your eyes and still be receptive to that feeling in community. It comes from deep inside. A DVD forces you to keep your eyes open and pay too much attention to the externals rather than the internals. Not relying on verbal communications in the class might also make what visual communication you catch mean so much more. Some times our experience is limited to the boundries of our known verbal and cultural language. A good movie that explains the concept is " What the Bleep Do We Know? " As for doctor visits et cetera, next time you consult anyone on this for an assessment take a premade and thought out list of everything you want to ask. Bring a tape recorder for the replies. I usually tape record the whole appointment with Western drs. Tape record at least the assessment with the Asian practices. With them you can also ask for it to be written out and remember to ask for homework. A good place to look for a qi gong teacher is to ask your accupuncturist. If they are or know the teacher they might be able to suggest some expersizes that apply specifically to your balance of energy.

And since Chi Kung is working with energy, it would be very effective if you have the correct postures allowing the uninterrupted energy flow. As for the language barrier, I had the same thoughts when I started as I am also living in country where the language is not my native tongue and after a certain age learning a new language does become harder. Yet to my surprise it is not a barrier at all. " I am the seasoned traveler of the Labyrinth. I overturn barriers and boundaries, opening new paths and portals for innovation.
