Comment on What would you ask a Qigong master? by Lama Tantrapa

Lama Tantrapa — Sun, 10 May 2009 20:43:46 +0000

Thank you for posting a great question. I agree that the mainstream society would benefit greatly from integrating Qigong into its midst. The regular practice of one Qigong method or another already keeps millions of the Chinese healthier than they might have been with all the pollution and malnutrition prevalent in that country. I believe that even in the US and other developed countries, millions of people also suffer from such issues. They could prevent and nip in the bud many health issues that cost billions of dollars through the practice of Qigong.

I would say that we need to educate the public and the insurance companies about the tremendous opportunities to save lives and billions of dollars that the practice of Qigong has to offer. Why the insurance companies? Because, unlike the medical establishment, they make more money off of healthy people and lose money when their clients are sick. Who would be more interested in preventative care than the insurance business?

I agree that the success of psychoneuroimmunologists and other Complimentary and Alternative Medicine practitioners needs to be celebrated through the National Tai Chi Day and other events. In fact, just two weeks ago, people all over the world celebrated the World Tai Chi & Qigong Day. An entertaining and enlightening interview with the founder of that event Bill Douglas is available for download at http://www.blogtalkradio.com/qigongmasters.

As of late, the psychoneuroimmunologists in the depts of integrative medicine have been latching onto qigong principles like mindfulness meditation and experiencing success with their patients. CAM oriented doctors and even NIH is recognizing the importance of qigong as a healing modality by instituting National Tai Chi Day.

Before this, the more esoteric researchers like Dr. Wilhelm Reich in the 1950’s were studying the phenomena of cosmic energy and its occurence as living bioenergy in the body; they learned that function creates form, an early precept of “forging the body in the fire of your spirit.”

What do you propose is the next step to integrating qigong as a healing modality for advancing humanity into mainstream society?

Thanks in advance. I wish all of you the best.

Thank you for your interest in Qi Dao, Chip. I am currently located in Portland, Oregon, where I used to live for a number of years before a two year long stay on a little tropical island of Guam. Now, ice I am back on the Mainland, I take every opportunity to visit different interesting places and meet with interesting people. I do so both for business and pleasure, as I often interview different Qigong experts for my Radio talk show The Secrets of Qigong Masters that you can listen at http://www.blogtalkradio.com/qigongmasters.

As to Los Angeles, I have been there many times, but have not plans to visit your city in the near future (unless somebody invites me to present a workshop there or to interview an interesting Qigong master). If you are interested in learning Qi Dao, the best way to do so is through the Qi Dao Practitioner Certification Programs offered by Academy of Qi Dao. The next such program is coming up next month, so you are welcome to register. For more information or to enroll, please feel free to email academy@qidao.org.

Namaste,

Lama Tantrapa

Comment on Summer 2008 Qi Dao Events by Samantha Smith

I have bought the Qi Dao home study course and have to say it is quite good. I have no previous experience with this sort of practices, but learning this system turned out to be easy and enjoyable using this course. Besides, the customer support is great: Lama even offered me a Qi Dao Coaching session for free. I am glad to be involved in such a supportive and enlightening community of like-minded people.

Comment on Free Tibet by Jane Monroe

I found this post on Amazon.com where a few Tibetan lamas sell their books. Yet, Lama Tantrapa seems the only one brave enough to wave the flag of Tibet in support of the fellow Tibetans suffering under the Chinese occupation. Bravo, Lama Tantrapa!
