The four kinds of people in our lives

It was a great relaxing afternoon at Santa Barbara Health and Wellness Tea-Connection with Dr. Tim Schultz (Doctor of Osteopath), Dresden Holden (acupuncturist), Shaina McPhetridge (psychotherapist), massage therapist (Shelley Verses) and other important people (I am not sure if they allow me to post their names).

It is a time to create and support our healing community in Santa Barbara.

In China, we often say in one’s life, one will meet four kinds of people: A teacher/master who guides and shows you “the Way”; An honorable being who supports you and provides unexpected help; A family member /relative who has trust in you; and a person who irritates you all the time😂

Dr. Tim Schultz, a great teacher and Doctor in town is definitely an honorable being for Taoist Light Wellness who has been kindly sending people to Taoist Light Wellness before I even met him. He heard Taoist Light Wellness from Mary McMurry (an intuitive massage therapist) 20 years ago; and Dr. Elisa Lottor in recent years. The two are honorable persons too for Taoist Light Wellness, and Dr. Elisa Lottor has recommended Taoist Light Qigong in her new book<The miracle of regenerative medicine>

It is a blessing to have our honorable being in our lives; it is also a blessing to be the honorable being who supports others who come on the way...

Please stay tuned and welcome to our next Tea-Connection, so people can be the honorable beings for each other.

The Ultimate Rest Stop

The journey of life can be tedious and stormy at times, especially we constantly use our energy/Qi all the time without even think about it, thus I would like to invite you to think about the concept of Qi and it’s cultivation- Taoist Light Qigong.

Qi/energy is our life force, which keeps us alive, vital and healthy.

When I was a young girl, my father and I hiked on the trails on Zhong Nan mountain in Zhou Zhi county, Shaanxi, where is about two hour drive from Xi’an city, China. Then it started to rain heavily, the sky was covered with dark clouds. Father suggested we went into Lou Guan Tai Taoist Temple for shelter. Lou Guan Tai Temple has been believed in tradition where Lao Tzu composed the famous Tao Te Ching. So 2600 years later after Lao Tzu was there, a Taoist monk came out and smiled at us but without saying a single word. He looked at the dark clouds and started to move his arms to push the dark clouds away… and indeed, the dark clouds were moving to the other direction and a round opening of blue sky reappeared and the threads of golden light from Sun warmly shined upon us.

Over the many adulthood years, I often replay that part of “movie” in my head: how a Taoist monk provided a rest stop for us and helped us to move the over-hovering dark clouds away, so we could regained our energy at Lou Guan Tai Temple and got on our road again.

In June 2019, a few Taoist Light Qigong cultivators revisited Lou Guan Tai Temple, and again in a such raining day where we were walking peacefully in the same Temple and soaked up with Taoist Light life force , then brought it back to Santa Barbara.

I have hoped to create a space for people to come to heal, rest and recharge on their journey of Tao (a natural and peaceful way of life). This Space has been manifested as Taoist Light Wellness…people from different countries and directions come here and carry Taoist Light Qigong practice home.

Private Healing session and Cultivation for self

Our Healing center welcome people who are interested in Taoism philosophy (drawn to peace, harmony, simplicity and willing to let go of fear, drama and controlling energy so to be healed and fully recovered) and we often hope people can have an understanding the importance to practice/cultivate for themselves before they decide to take on Taoist healing journey.

There is a saying that: to give someone fish is not as good as to teach one how to fish.

Fishing is not my thing, so I will not teach others how to fish. I am talking about to give people Qi/life force in healing sessions and to teach people how to cultivate their own Qi/life force.

For most people both are important, since private healing sessions can make a big shift and smooth out the tangled or blocked energy very quickly and efficiently so to support people to keep on their healing-cultivation journey.

Learning how to practice Qigong is about to empower oneself and awaken the potential to heal from inside. If one only reads books and not practice, it is like someone only read books on how to swim but never get into water. The best way is to read the book and practice.

The goal of our wellness center is to empower people how to cultivate/practice with this authentic and pure lineage because ultimately people need to heal and live peacefully and become their own master of Tao.

(Tao- the Way. Taoism founded by Chinese greatest philosopher Lao Tzu. Please read <Tao Te Ching> to understand Lao Tzu’s work.)

It’s said, when students are ready, the teacher will come. Are you ready?

A consistent and persistent Taoist Light Qigong Cultivator

On Oct. 27, last Sunday, I have gathered a few cultivators who have taken Taoist Light Qigong training to come back for practice check-ups.

When K from Los Angeles walked in, people who knew him in the past were all in a good shock!

He looked amazing! His energy is happily glowing; his skin was shining and smooth, it seemed he had removed at least 10 years of age; his spirit was uplifting, centered and expanding; He is healthy, strong with good circulation. It is truly very different from the first time I met him: beaten up by life, tired and frustrated.

He showed us his note on his practice journal and kindly gave us the permission to show people his secrete of consistent and persistent in practice which is hard for some students.

On his own book of Tao, mostly it records how much time he spends on practicing ten sections (he had also received level II, I-Ching Qigong training). It indicated that he studied Taoist Light Qigong on June 4, 2018; on June 13, he could sleep better; June 15, his sciatic pain was improving; on June 23, his sciatic pain is 95% better which is 19 days after he started the practice.

He also expressed that his foot pain were gone and his life flows more miraculously.

The most impressive thing is that he only missed practice five days in the past one year and half. He gets up in early morning and practices within 5-7am outside even when weather is cold, but he gets warmer and warmer through Taoist Light Qigong.

He is kind of students any master would wish for: respectful (to the linage), reliable (show up and do it) and responsible (to his own health and well-being); It is natural that how much work one puts in then how much result one can receive… Then you know it is all worth it!

I hope we can be inspired by him to keep a journal of Tao, and will be consistent and persistent with our own practice.

What is Qi (life force) State?

Qi state or Qigong State, it is spelled as “Qigong Tai” or “Gong Tai” in Chinese.

The term Qigong state was first named by a renowned scientist Qian Xuesen, or Hsue-Shen Tsien (1911 – 2009), who was educated in the U.S. as an aerospace engineer, then was regarded as the Father of Chinese space program. In the later years of his life, he had studied Qigong in depth and done profound scientific research and practiced for his own health benefits. He lived to 98 years old and stated Qigong scientific research will give birth to “a new scientific revolution” in the future.*

Qigong State is an outstanding and extra-ordinary brain functional state neither in sleep nor awake state. It is in highly and mostly enjoyable mental state where the potentiality from cells/body can be awakened for healing and maximum performance of the body.

For example, a stroke client from Santa Ynez could not move his left arm normally, but in Taoist Light Qigong Level I group transmission training, he entered into Qi State , and quickly his arm was moving freely. Another person did a head-stand without any previous yoga training; and a woman spoke a foreign language happily which she had never learned (in this life time); Recently, a new returned client told me her cyst on her face was gone through Taoist Light Qigong practice. Other report like the high blood pressure immediately going down after they entered into Qi state, etc.

The Qi state can be also used for transmitting Qi to a client. For example, I need to enter into Qi state before I started to heal a person who was paralyzed. Right after the first session, his mother shared that his paralyzed legs were moving for the first time after two years since he was severely injured. And of course, that was the way Taoist Light Practitioners to remove energy blockages including pain/aches/frozen areas, cleanse dirty/infectious blood, clear out heavy and depressive energy, bring brain to clarity and heal many health conditions successfully.

Most Qigong masters started to learn and practice Qigong because of an adversed health condition, but that was not my case. when I was a teenager, I found that to enter into Qi state simply has an amazing and most satisfying sensation from head to toe. Sometimes, I feel like my body is so light which can almost float in air and sometimes my brain is so quiet but highly aware with knowing. The relaxation, healing effect and blissful Qi state make me can not wait to get into my practice everyday.

If anyone has an excuse on not practice Taoist Light Qigong such as 30-60min practice is too long, I can assure you that once you truly enter into Qi state, you will find Qigong is not a hard work at all, and one hour can feel like ten minutes.
