The Traditional Chinese Medicine theory and Qigong exercises taught on this video are very effective for men as well as women.
There are three parts to this video. In Part I you will learn the five elements theory of Traditional Chinese Medicine. This theory divides the body into networks called organ systems, which control the energy flow in your body and are responsible for keeping you healthy and balanced.

You will also learn Healthy Balance Qigong, a series of exercises designed specifically to correct energy flow problems.

Qi Gong exercises train the energy to move properly through the body as well as flush out blockages. When energy has been stuck or stagnant in a muscle for a long period of time, that area of the muscle will develop a physical contraction there. This could result in a knot in the muscle or a “trigger point” according to Dr. Janet Travell.
Qi Gong exercises can assist in flushing out these trigger points but may not be the quickest method when used alone. Stretches developed by Travell have been very successful in returning the functionality to these muscles in a very timely fashion. Changing the energy changes the tissues, and changing the tissues changes the energy.
The following clip from this DVD is of the Levator muscle stretch. This stretch helps with pain between the neck and shoulder blades, pain along the edge of the shoulder blade closest to the spine, and also with a painful stiff neck.

Traditional Chinese Medicine and Qi Gong Lecture Series
Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM) has a rich history of over 5,000 years. Through understanding its principles we can learn to decipher all the messages our bodies have been sending us and gain wisdom for tending to our own needs, physically and emotionally. Topics include: Yin/Yang, Five Elements, Lung/Large Intestine, Kidney/Urinary Bladder, Liver/Gallbladder, Heart/Small Intestine, Spleen/Stomach, and Pericardium/Triple Warmer.
This four CD set covers over three and a half hours of lectures on TCM from a Qi Gong point of view recored live in 2009 by Lisa B. O’Shea, Certified Qi Gong Therapist and Instructor and founder of the
Qi Gong Institute of Rochester.
Qi Gong Meditation Volume I
Four Tones & Enlightenment Meditations
The Four Tones is a chanted meditation that I first came across when studying with Master Hong in California. It uses sound and vibration to carry the listener to a place of balance and peace and feels wonderful. The Enlightenment Meditation, also known as the Upper and Lower Dantian Meditation, is a very special meditation developed and taught to me by Dr. Yang, Jwing-Ming. I have never seen any other meditation that builds energy to such high levels as this one. It utilizes specific meridian points and the breath to build energy in the body for longevity and enlightenment.
Qi Gong Meditation Volume II
Circulate Universal Qi & Buddha Mind Meditations
These two meditations were originally taught to me by Master Hong and I have further developed them to reach deeper levels of healing for our modern stresses. The Circulate Universal Qi Meditation uses visualization to carry us to the center of the universe, balance both sides of the body, and bring healing energy into ourselves as well as guide healing to others. The Buddha Mind Meditation brings us to a better state of balance between our physical body and our spiritual being by taking us through the process of releasing attachments to old thought patterns in order to allow us to open up to the possibilities our spirit would like to offer us.
The Dantian Meditation is a powerful and ancient practice that increases longevity and improves constitutional health. The Dantian is our body’s storage battery for energy and is located deep in the abdomen. This meditation will teach you how to deeply relax your body and breathe into the Dantian. Through a variety of beautiful and powerful guided visualizations you will bring universal energy safely into your Dantian for health and longevity.
The music on this recording has been specifically written for Qi Gong meditation. On track 8 you will find a bonus track (30 minutes long) with the music by itself without the guided meditation. Over time, as your expertise with meditation increases, you may want to try an unguided meditation of your own and you may find track 8 of this recording useful for this.
Daily meditation is an investment in your future as well as an aid in daily stress reduction.
The Microcosmic Orbit and 12 Meridian Meditations are two of my favorites and I have been teaching them for years.
These meditations will guide you to lead your energy through your meridians, the body's energy pathways and will enhance your wellness and sensitivity to energy to a very deep level. The Microcosmic Orbit balances your body's yin and yang nature and strengthens all of your internal organs. The Twelve Meridian Meditation clears out all of your energy pathways to allow your body to better heal and prevent illness.
