Guest guest Posted September 9, 2006 Report Share Posted September 9, 2006 Greetings, I often give Qigong exercises as homework and my clients have reported good results with regulating blood pressure, palpitations and arrhythmia's. Assuming you do not have any transplanted organs the only contraindication that comes to mind is if you are doing Qigong exercises that aggravate an existing energetic pattern/imbalance. An example would be if a person has high blood pressure it's probably best to avoid Qigong exercises that build energy in the upper burner or are design to build yang energy because they could aggravate the condition further. To fully answer your question one would need to know what Qigong exercises you are doing and what your current energetic imbalances are (pulse and tongue assessment). The Qigong Institute has many published medical studies from China regarding Qigong and a portion of them can be accessed for free on their website (qigonginstitute.org). Hope this helps.

Guest guest Posted September 10, 2006 Report Share Posted September 10, 2006 Thanks Manu and Chris for your kind answers to my question. I am a lonely practitioner of some classical Chigong exercises taken mostly from Daniel Reid, Ken Cohen and Lam Kam books and tapes; those exercises are the Great Taichi Circle, Ba Duan Jin, Embracing the Tree, and some " passive " Chigong visualizations. I have had two heart surgeries to implant a metal mitral valve and recently I received a pace maker. By all means I want to stop this progressive invassive approach to my condition by dedicating ALL the needed time to a Chigong practice addressed to the improvement of my heart condition. There is not a single doubt in my mind that a dedicated Chigong practice can produce outstanding results in addressing the chi energy wherever is most needed, because I have seen enough dramatic evidence on the workings of this energy. But I need to go beyond the general practice I am doing now to shift into a " taylor made " set of exercises taking into account the specifics of my cardiopathy for instance as both of you pointed correctly, by cooling off everything related to the heart and stimulating the working with the kidneys and low dan-tien. This realm of the interconnections of the inner organs is foreign for me and in this area I wish I could find the knowledge and the couching I am missing now. My problem is that I live in the country side, 3 hours away from " civilization " and I rely largely on computer communication. There is little chance for me to have a personal trainer or teacher because of my remote residence settlings. Let me tell you I have never had a trasplant neither am candidate in the foreseable future. About my tongue and pulse specs I wonder how could I provide this information, living where I live, but I guess I can make a quite acceptable digital shot of my tongue. The pulse is another thing..... for detecting all the different pulses TCM deals with I don´t know how could I help you. This is all feed-back I can send now. If you elaborate more on the possibilities of an specific practice for my heart improvement this will be always appreciated. All the best, Chinese Traditional Medicine , Chris Leininger <proloboy wrote: > > Greetings, > > I often give Qigong exercises as homework and my > clients have reported good results with regulating > blood pressure, palpitations and arrhythmia's. > Assuming you do not have any transplanted organs the > only contraindication that comes to mind is if you are > doing Qigong exercises that aggravate an existing > energetic pattern/imbalance.
