Sept 29: Qigong Sword Fingers

Hola, All! Qigong is a healing process developed by Chunji Lin, who says that the underlying cause of any pain/sickness is an energy blockage. It is a simple process to use but may not be as simple to explain. Let's say that Person A has a pain in her shoulder, and Person B is the healer. To make it easier for me, I numbered the steps:
1. To make the sword fingers, extend the index and middle fingers on one hand, then bend the other two fingers and hold them down with the thumb, making the cub scout salute.
2. Person A smiles (Start My Internal Love Engine).
3. P-A can sit, stand or lie down. Breathe deeply and relax, closing her eyes.
4. P-B, while visualizing healing engery flowing from her heart to her sword fingers, moves her fingers in a circular, slicing or chopping motion around the area of pain on P-A, but doesn't touch her. Do this for 1-3 minutes.
5. Then, P-B opens her hand, visualizing energy coming out of all fingers, while she visualizes the pain as smoke coming out of P-A's shoulder. P-B takes the 'smoke' in her hand and throws it away, repeating this jester for 1-2 minutes. She also repeats something like: the pain is gone, you are completely healed.
6. P-B then opens her hand, still visualizing the energy coming out of her hand. She moves her hand close to the shoulder, then backs her hand away, repeating this motion 9 times.
7. The last thing is that P-A takes 3 big breaths, rubs her hands together and massages her own face.
Last night at meditation Hefina asked me to use the Qigong Fingers on her, but she wouldn't tell me where her pain or discomfort was. After a minute of trying to figure out where her energy might be blocked, I settled on the area around her stomach. I wasn't prepared to do this, so didn't remember all the steps, but I got the most important ones. After I was finished, Hefina (who had her eyes closed the whole time) told me that her blockage was in her stomach and she could feel me pull the 'smoke' out! She isn't completely healed, but at least I helped her to feel better. Thank you, Hefina, for giving me the opportunity to start using some of the things that I am learning.
Chao for now!
