Hi Al, I believe this to be a program that will actually work, and ur right movements should be customized to my body, I realized this from the first lesson u sent me. And I noticed that i was more comfortable with it than the uncomfortable feelings that came from with following other tai chi teachers and making my movements look exactly like theirs. So i would like to say thank you. But I do have a question. It has been said that meditation will also help with chi development, what meditations do you recommend that i use with the chifusion course and should it be done before or after ? Thanks

When you get to the advanced training course, we have a number of meditations that are already included. Some like our Level 1 Falling Water meditation and Level 4 Centering Elements can be done sitting, standing, or lying. Some of our other meditations are specifically standing Qigong meditations. In addition, the advanced training also includes some bonus audios you can download to your PC or MP3 player that have guided meditations on them. They use a combination of brain sync technology with NLP and hypnosis to help your relax and to improve your Chi development.

Can this tai chi help people with Parkinson's disease. If so - how??? My partner and another relative both have parkinson's. Are there specific lessons for specific problems--like kidney, liver, digestion, etc.? Could me and my partner work together to solve different problems?

I usually try to keep these blog answers short and to the point, but I think your question deserves a fuller answer. ChiFusion Tai Chi is about customizing Tai Chi and Qigong to fit each person uniquely. It's about making it fit your unique mind, body, and energy system. So I can't say "ChiFusion is good for Parkinson's" or any other disease, because "Parkinson's" isn't a person. Two people with the same disease and symptoms are still two unique people. A personal story - about 20 years ago, I had severe pain in my wrists. I went to a doctor who diagnosed me with tendonitis/carpal tunnel. He had me wear wrist braces and take various muscle relaxants for about 6 weeks. The pain persisted, so he suggested injections, followed by surgery. Instead, I went to an acupuncturist (my first visit ever to one). She gave me three treatments. The pain still persisted, so she realized that the problem probably was not tendonitis or carpal tunnel, despite the symptoms. After a thorough examination, she found a vertebra misaligned in my neck. She suggested I visit a chiropractor. The chiropractor adjusted the vertebra (which was pinching down on the nerve that ran to my wrists), and after one visit, my pain went away almost over night. The point here isn't whether medical or acupuncture or chiropractic is good for a certain problem. The point is - two people can have the same symptoms such as wrist pain. For one person, it's tendonitis. For the next guy (me), it was a pinched nerve. Each person is unique, even if they have the same symptoms. It was my acupuncturist who taught me that. Chinese Medicine, the foundation of Tai Chi and Qigong, looks at people as individuals, not as belonging to "disease categories" or "symptom categories". I know some teachers say Tai Chi "is good for" this disease or that disease, but I consider an instructor who says that poorly trained. They've missed one of the most important health aspects of the art. So, yes - you and your partner can work together to solve different problems, because you'll be customizing these practices to each of you. By the way, Level 1 of our advanced training is primarily concerned with improving chi meridian and organ functioning. It works on all the major organs. Because of the inter-relationship among the organs, you don't want to do just the exercises for that one organ. If you have a "bad liver", you don't want to work on exercises just for the liver, but for all the internal organs - to make sure they are all supporting each other. But I do, at the beginning of each lesson, tell you exactly what organs we are targeting. One final recommendation - if you get a chance, make sure you take my Complete Chi Health webinar the next time I offer it. I think it will help clarify a lot of what I'm saying here. I wish you, your partner, and your relative the best of health.
