Qi was: FOCUSING POINT NEW APPROACH

[Guest guest]

Hi all, there is " precedent " for Nam's suggestion, the most recent one I know

of coming from Tom Tam, who does a new - fangled type of Qi Gong where most

everything is reduced to Qi block, and Cold Qi. Qi Gong practitioners also tend

to look at everything as being qi and have less interest in " more physical "

manifestations such as phlegm or blood stasis. It's just a focus on the

Qi-dynamic that puts little importance ont he particular gears that might be

involved. After all, we all know what Liver Qi stagnation leads to, and we don't

always have to " get into it " to treat it.

Re: FOCUSING POINT " NEW APPROACH "

 

 

 

Dear Dr. Alon Marcus,

 

 

 

We apply our treatments based on Qi alone. Eventhough

 

we are using herbs or acupuncture, we should not get

 

our sight out of Qi. If there is stagnation, phlegm,

 

heat, cold, dampness, dryness or combination of all, I

 

strongly suggested focusing on Qi. This will help us

 

tremendously. ...

 

HOW DO WE GET QI AND HOW WE USE THEM ???

 

Qi ( energy, life-force ) is giving us by nature,

 

is everywhere. They are foods and air.

 

HOW TO ACQUIRE THEM ? Depend on our diagnosis !

 

What do we need ? What do we want to get rid of so our

 

body can function properly ?

 

ACUPUNCTURE regulates Qi and enhances Qi. This

 

methods can treat and cure a lot of disease... Oh! By

 

the way, my daughter is free of stuffy nose after 1

 

treatment. This encourages everybody.

 

ACUPUNCTURE is not used to tonify Yin nor Yang, but

 

it is to regulate our body energy.

 

If our energy is strong enough and works properly ,

 

it can receive ( absorb ) proper energy foods and

 

transform them into whatever we call it " Yin or Yang,

 

cold or heat, dryness or moisture ... "

 

IN THIS CASE WE TONIFY YIN OR YANG INDIRECTLY.

 

Please correct me if I am wrong. I am learning just as

 

you all.

 

HERBS ARE TRUE SUPPLEMENTS for us to strengthen our

 

body, but it is no used if our energy is unable to

 

absorb them nor transform them into useful energy, the

 

needed energy.

 

 

 

ARE THESE HELPFUL ???

 

 

 

Thanks for spending time to view these things with me.

 

I am still learning , guys !

 

 

 

GOOD LUCK !!!
