We learned and practiced these natural self-healing techniques:

-Hun Yuan Qi and Yi Yuan Ti theories & their functions

-Deep Qi practices and healing with Zhineng Qigong techniques

-Organization of the Qi field (for practice & for healing)

-Chen Qi, La Qi & Wall Squats

-Individualized Practice for after the retreat

-Mind Qi Practice
(Grandmaster Pang says that good teachers don't need
to use their hands)

-Lift Qi Up, Pour Qi Down
(deeper work with Qi – Zhineng Qigong Center criteria)

-Body & Mind Method & Three Centers Merge (deeper work with Qi)

-Profound Healing Techniques Used at the Center in China (taught by a Hua Xia Zhineng Qigong Teacher who has taught thousands of people at the Hua Xia Center

We worked on a deeper level of Zhineng Qigong, experiencing the essence of the practice. We learned Zhineng Qigong in the way it is taught in China, teaching through the Qi Field. We experienced deep personal healing or effective techniques to help others in their healing.

Travel

The trip included sight-seeing to many famous places in China:

In Beijing:
The Summer Palace
Heavenly Temple
The Gre

In the Sichuan resort area where we traveled by plane:

Hot springs with herbal baths
The largest Buddha statue in the world at Leishan
Tian Shi Dong, the Daoist Qigong Temple at Mt. Qingcheng

(We stayed at Tian Shi Dong for one night and two days. This
is where the Daoist qigong practitioners have practiced Qigong for a
thousand years.)

We practiced Qigong while we are touring these areas,
incorporating the practice into all of our activities.

After 2 days in Beijing, we flew to Chengdu, then to Meishan where the major part of the retreat took place. Meishan is a town of about 3,000 people. There are virtually no foreigners there, which makes it a wonderful place to experience the real China without the changes many cities have made due to tourism. This retreat was like no other, with the opportunity to travel in small groups exploring the city without the restrictions of having to stay with a large tour group. The retreat took place during the Full Moon Festival, so there will be many extra things to see during this time.

In the Words of the Students

I loved China too. It was an awesome experience, and something happened to my extra sensory feelings since I was there. I came back changed. I have been having success with distance healing. I can bring some of the energy of the people, whom I want to help, to me, and work on their energy in my room, or wherever I am. I can feel their energy vibrations and where they need to be revitalized, or have an energy exchange. I hope that makes sense. It is all new to me and I keep learning from the experience. Love, Janice Vivian

I had practiced Zhineng Qigong for 9 years and had taught it for 8 years prior to attending the China Qigong Retreat this past Sept & Oct '06. Our first morning we walked to the river to do our practice and Master Liu led us in 3 Centers Merge Method for about 35 - 40 minutes. There was so much more to this form than I had ever experienced or been taught and my personal experience just blew me away in terms of the amount of chi coming in to my dantien and my whole body & spirit being so vitalized. This continued throughout the retreat as we were given so much information & experience by exceptional teachers. My qigong practice and my life will never be ther same. Many thanks to Deborah Lissom, Eva Helleblad and Liu Laoshi for organizing and providing such a wonderful experience.

The China Retreat was one the best investments I‘ve ever made. China was beautiful, the people were charming and friendly, and the sightseeing excursions were exciting, educational, and mystical. Master Liu (Liu Laoshi) and his teaching team gave us active training and correction that brought our Zhineng Qigong practice to a new and higher level. He gave so much new and in-depth information that I am still trying to assimilate it all. Many of us also got to experience on-site Qi healing by Master Liu and and other Master teachers.. I came back feeling better than I have in years. I‘m more energetic, more flexible, and I lost some of the weight that my family doctor has been pushing for. My blood pressure is the best its been since I was in high school and that was over 40 years ago. Everyone left saying how much they wanted to return and learn even more.

This retreat was the best practice experience for me so far. For the first time I could fully participate the whole time. I joined almost all practice sessions with ease. I could stay clear late at night for the lectures. I also enoyed so much the interaction with all the other participants. The wholeness of this system's teachings continues to amaze me and I am so grateful that we have such knowledgeable teachers who are willing to share this trasure with us.

I could make such a long list of the healing that I experienced at this retreat!
*Two vaginal squamous cell skin cancer tumors dissolved during the retreat.
*My fungus toenail completely cleared up, and that was after having spent one year applying every natural and alternative external and internal treatment that I could find. I had finally given up on the toe, knowing that it would clear up when that meridian unblocked, and that‘s what happened!
*I was sustained by the incredibly strong qi field to do 1 hour of 3 Centers Merge, one hour Body Mind Method, 30 minutes of Chen Qi, and so many other practices that a person diagnosed with total kidney failure should not be able to do, or even to be not on dialysis and physically active at all!
*Improved emotional balance of the 5 organs
