Qigong is well known for its power that can not only make us healthy physically and mentally, but also can improve the immune system or self-healing power, and also has an excellent effect for disease prevention and treatment. Because when practicing Qigong, we can maintain our brain to function at a high level.
As we meditate, our body’s secretory function will be greatly improved, and in this state, it will have many effects, some “unexpected” a beginner might find. Qigong can play a good role in the prevention and treatment of new coronary pneumonia, too. For many people, beauty and rejuvenation are topics of concern. In fact, Shaolin Qigong also has good effects on weight loss and beauty. However, this essay will mainly focus on some effects concerning common health issues.
Around 1995, a young married couple came to me for advice. They said they were desperately wanting to have a child and had been undergoing fertility treatment at a hospital to no avail. They started coming to my class to practice Qigong under my guidance every week. I asked them to practice every day even if they were busy with work. After a few weeks, they said they could feel energized. And in one year, the couple came to my office together and said they were expecting a baby.
In 1999, a 45-year old man came for a consultation with me. He had been going through fertility treatment for more than 10 years and felt quite defeated. He and his wife were also trying for vitro fertilization during the period with no good results.They said their doctor told them he would do just one more try of insemination. If that won’t lead to pregnancy, he suggested they should give up. The whole process weighed very heavily on the couple psychologically too. After a few consultations I gave both the husband and wife several sessions of Qigong treatment. Then the couple went for the last try of vitro fertilization, which turned out to be a success.
A breast cancer patient, in her 50’s. Her doctor had already told her that she would only live one more month and there was nothing much he could do for her. She said my Qigong was the last resort. When she came to me she looked pretty bad in shape. Her cancer was in the left breast and her left arm was swollen to the size as her thigh. She couldn’t lift the arm. She was sensitive to what others think when looking at her arm and for that reason didn’t even want to take public transportation (which is commonly used in Tokyo). She lived very far from where I perform Qigong, so I could only teach her some certain set of exercises that she could do at home. She started exercising regularly at home and ended up surviving for 6 more years. In the 6th year, I couldn’t see for her because I was busy preparing for a big conference. She decided to go to a hospital because she wasn’t feeling very well, and there she passed away. Afterwards, her mother told me she said thank you and thanks to Shaolin Qigong she enjoyed the last 6 years she could live to the fullest.
In 2009 a man who works for a skincare products manufacturer came to my office. He said that he had been receiving fertility treatment for more than 10 years, and then all failed. His doctor told him that because his wife is 45 years old, he didn’t see much chance. So the man wanted to see what Qigong could do to improve his health. The treatment he was going through at the hospital was very expensive and he was burdened financially whereas Qigong is not. It’s a physical exercise to improve his overall well-being. He came to exercise for two years in total. His energy and rigor came back. I asked him to give his wife some sessions of external Qi as well, then after his body has fully reached the level of fertility, and after reaching this level, then he will give his wife two external Qi.
The couple was successful in pregnancy. But then, their doctor told them that his wife ‘s physique had some deficiency that made her more prone to miscarriage. In fact, she had a case of miscarriage at 4th month as the amniotic fluid burst suddenly. The doctor told him that it is happening again, and that they should be giving it up. The couple came back to me to please save the baby, I wasn’t 100% sure if I could, but did my best to give the wife Qigong treatment as best as I could. They came for treatment regularly until the pregnancy reached 10 months. A healthy girl was born by caesarean section.
So these are just some examples of what Shaolin Qigong can do. It doesn’t cure in the same way as the western medical practice. Shaolin Qigong rather help re-energize and re-vitalize or boost one’s self-healing power that each one of us is naturally equipped with. And therefore when people practice it, they can improve their immunity and health by themselves. And it works greatly on both women and men.
Thank you.
