I've done a good amount of Chi Gung (everyone spells it differently) as part of my Kung Fu training. It made a HUGE difference in my wellbeing . Good stuff if you've got the right teacher.

I agree. It can make a world of difference in your own healing and others.

Chi Gong Healing

I would add that Chi Gong practice, combined with Reiki, is a powerful combination for the practitioner.

I practice Qi Gong (yet another spelling) and Gung Fu and can also attest to it's healing powers. I think if you practice Qi Gong long enough, it becomes part of everything you do. There are specific Chinese Qi Gong healing arts, like External Qi healing/ Wai Wi Zhi Liao (precursor to Reiki), but I believe it's also something that can be integrated into any art to take it to another level.

I highly recommend the book "the Way of Qigong - the Art and Science of Chinese Energy Healing" by Ken Cohen. It touches on so much yet there is ample depth to go back it to over and over again.

Excerpt from the section on External Qi Healing:

"EQH is also the most accessible form of Chinese medicine, the easiest for anyone to learn. Although it may be applied as an adjunct to acupuncture therapy, it can also be practiced by those unfamiliar with Eastern philosophy. It does not require knowledge of meridians, acupoints, or Chinese medical theory. Unlike many qigong instructors, I do not believe EQH is only for the advanced. I do not accept that one must wait ten years before attempting it. On the contrary, we are emitting qi all the time, with or against our will. We need to learn how to use this innate capactiy effectively and wisely."

I'm a new MT student, but because of my Gung Fu practice I've noticed I approach many things from a different perspective. If nothing else, Qi Gong practice will get you comments on how warm your hands are .

chi kung is an on going lifestyle practice that require frequent practices and fuse it in daily life. you train your mind and body to fuse. it's not something that you take once and you know all about it such as american way of reiki. somehow transference of healing energy skills just don't cut it for me. especially if it involves faith and no intent. don't that sound silly? i lay my hands and the reiki energy goes where it is needed. duh!!! we call that osmosis. energy goes where it's needed to balance out. especially that high price associated with it when you want level 3 can discredit the whole system. you can heal people without requiring others to tune you. i see reiki as a pyramid scheme in america. anything that is skill base is ongoing practice. not to say reiki doesn't exist. just discredit how it's taught in america. in japan it's differently taught. year of apprenticeship with daily meditation and energy sensing, absorbing, projecting skills practice. as well as a mind/body/spiritual lifestyle transition. yes. america is the fast food of everything. reiki is an eastern art that has buddhist roots. most people are learning it with western influence. did you learn it the eastern way incorporating the culture beliefs?the correct way that is pure?

I have tried it, and I do this type of healing. The healer is a chi kung practitioner themselves, and works with the energy within the meridian system, specific points, organs, etc, to create balance, open blocks and remove foreign energies. At least this is what I do with Chi Kung healing. Usually chi kung practices are then taught to the client so they can continue to heal themselves. It is a wonderful technique.

Unless someone has patented the name, i can add a little here...

First a definition of chi-kung. Chi as most here probably know it, is usually referred to as life force or energy, which while correct, is a little vauge. The character for chi is made up of air and rice, so we can think of chi as the energy or nourishment we receive from the air we breath. Kung is work, time and skill. So basically anyone doing energy work is doing chi-kung, whether for yourself or others. Reiki, pranayama, and lomi (aloha) are all chi-kung therapies.
