A skeptic is one that disbelieves; but is willing to listen. You are not, so that makes you
a debunker.

I never accused you of saying that. I said you used that attitude.

Qi is experiential. you have to test it and prove it to yourself.

I have proved well beyond MY satisfaction that Qi is real.

Completely healed a mangled foot and was walking 28 days after the doctor suggested amputation above
the ankle. The foot had a partialy torn achilles tendon, and two broken bones. The foot was four
colors of the rainbow, and swollen three times it's normal size.

directing energy into Tammy F's injured hand for a few minutes and she was able to regain the used
of her hand. Tammy F was exactly like you. a complete disbeliever in energy work, and her expression
after she moved her hand for the first time in two days was "Damn! This is cool!"

directing energy into cheekbones and ears of Kelly C. and sheturned beet red from the top of her
head to her waist in minutes. She was complaining of a sinus infection and ear ache, and her health
problems were GONE.

I would suggest that you actually experience it for yourself. sign up for a class and do the
exercizes and experience the feeling of increased energy flowing in your body.

It is NOT belief. When I was 19 and my sifu started talking about Qi; my western trained mind could
not accept it either. As a matter of fact I thought he was the biggest crackpot ever to walk the
earth! I saw him do things that some people would classify as supernatural.

I am not bluffing. just trying to get you to open your mind and heart.

Physic professors state that 90% of the matter in the universe is dark matter that can not be found
and measured.

There's a very good little book called Between Heaven and Earth which talks about the five elements
and Chinese medicine. If you read the chapter on fire, you will see descriptions of excess heat,
which includes sensations of heat in the body. By the way, people who have this are also drawn to
metaphysical exploration, as you have described in your earlier posting. You should read this book.
No place in your body should be heating up. This is a sign of an energy imbalance, not of your dear
friend thinking of you. :)

Depends on what you mean by "heating up". A feeling of warmth during qigong practice in the dantien
is actually a good sign. When a TCM doctor speaks of "excess heat", he or she is talking about
something entirely different. Also, for those of us that practice Reiki, and I imagine for those
that practice external qigong healing, as well, it is not uncommon for the hands to warm up
considerably during a session, and this is quite natural and not an indication of an imbalance in
the practitioner.

I could not agree more.

There is a vast difference between a warmth from a Reikim Qigong, or HUNA healing session; and a
burning sensation caused by a blocked meridian.

There is nothing in this case history that identifies the problem as a "mucked up endocrine system".

According to Dr Shan's article, the majority of cases of qigong psychosis were among those who were
practicing from a book instead of from a teacher. Of 129 cases he studied, 100 of them were
self-taught, 23 had an individual teacher and 6 were in groups. So it might be that having someone
you trust and respect to talk to about what you're feeling may help.

He also notes that most cases were of short duration, like yours, but that simply stopping the
practice did not abate the symptoms.

Further, he notes that the people most likely to suffer severe reactions have pre-existing
psychological problems.

Dr. Shan concludes, " Hopefully, such culture-bound psychiatric disorders associated with Qigong
practice can be prevented if adequate psychological education can be provided to all Qigong
practitioners before and after starting such exercises."

I've cited a couple of articles on qigong psychosis, both from people who are doing serious
research on the subject in China. These are not just anecdotes, but samples from fairly extensive
research work.

You can read them for yourself and form your own conclusions.

http://kundalini-info.org/qigong2.html

http://www.hrw.org/reports/2002/china02/china0802-17.htm

As for whether qigong is "dangerous", I suspect it is not. It's my impression that qigong
"overloads" are a product of suggestibility, not some dangerous flow of energy.

I merely joined this thread in order to question a claim about damage being done to the endocrine
system due to the overuse of qigong exercises.

Crossposting often adds new points of view, as well as a certain amount of muddle. I didn't select
the groups, though. I'm merely responding.

Why would I want to contact the author. I would need to discuss the matter with the person that had
the incident.

So what? He had one perspective; I have another.

My overload was by practising a complicated Zhan Zhuang pose. The person that is on life sustaining
meditation; he practised over an hour a day in intense meditation trying to open his third eye and
attain clairvoyance and other paranormal abilities. The other three people created their overloads
by overdoing physical exercizes. They were not patient to allow their body to change gradually.

I have no problems with that statement several Qigong books contain both beginning and advanced
material (trying to appeal to beginners and more advanced practitioners) Now you understand why I
have two lists of recommended Qigong books.

One list with books such as "The Way Of Energy", "Chi Kung: For Health And Vitality", "8 simple
Qigong exercizes", etc for beginners, and "Ch'i: The Power Within", "The Art Of Qigong", The Root Of
Chinese Qigong", etc for more advanced practitioners.

There are some exercizes that are absolutely unsafe until the person has learned the basics, and
know how Qi is supposed to feel when dome correctly.

A teacher is a lot of help by spotting the problems early, and can help the person get themself out
of trouble.

If a person gets a good beginner book ("The Way Of Energy", and "Chi Kung: For Health And Vitality")
are two good beginner books, and follows the directions; they are great; but then another person can
go to a Qigong master, and not follow the instructions when they practise at home and get themself
into trouble.

> He also notes that most cases were of short duration, like yours, but that simply stopping the

What I experienced was a one time overload of Qi; not Qigong psychosis.

Stopping the practise alone is not enough.

Stopping the practise and going for a walk, or stopping the practise and eating something to start
the digestive juices flowing will aid in stopping the symptoms.

This I have no first hand information to confront it.

But qigong psychosis is alleged to come from inappropriate qigong practices. Are you saying there is
no such thing as an inappropriate or improper qigong practice?

Before concluding that this is indeed the case, you should be aware that the variables that govern
the size and shape of a kirlian photo image include the voltage and current discharge, current
density through the sample, discharge frequency, pulse shape, overall resistance in the plate,
sample, and emulsion surrounding it, the electrical field configuration, point-plane, high-voltage
plane, grounding shape plane, and the pressure of the sample on the plate. Any or all of these can
and often do vary widely from one photograph to another, even with the same equipment. In addition,
results can vary due to atmospheric humidity, the moisture content of the sample, and different
chemicals which happen to be on the sample which could affect conductivity.

If you have some specific studies in which your claim about the increased size of the kirlian photo
images of qigong masters or other energy workers, we might be able to check to see if these
variables were properly controlled.

If memory serves; on page 20 (if memory serves) of "Empowerment Through Reiki"; it shows kirlian
photos of the authors hands normaly, and when she was directing energy. I'm sure the front of the
book tells to contact the author, and Ms. Horan; may be able to fill you in on those details.

I am saying there are thousands of different variants of Qigong.

The only improper Qigong practise I am aware of is to practise and disregard the subtle signals
coming from our body.

And the point is that dark matter cannot be found and measured because the only influence it exerts
on the visible portion of the universe is gravitational. Gravity is the weakest form of energy, and
since it's attraction falls off as the square of the distance, the effect of all the dark matter on
the whole universe on your endocrine glands is less than the effect exerted by the gravity of the
coffee cup on your desk.

You can't invoke dark matter as qi or any other "energy" affecting the human body. The human body,
including your endocrine glands, follows the same rules of physics as the rest of the universe and
is not likely to be capable of detecting and responding to influences that are not detectable with
scientific instruments. If you believe there is an energy form that is thus far unknown to science,
then the burden of proof is on you to prove it and describe how it interacts with the known
universe. Then sit back and wait for your Nobel.

Rich: I that you need to work on your reading comprehension.

No where did I say that Qi and dark matter were in any way related.

I KNOW Qi is real from first hand experience.

Physicists postulate the idea of dark matter.

Neither can be detected or measured by science.

I beg to differ. Dark matter has been detected by the gravitational influence it has on the matter
we do see. It is measured the same way. Qi cannot be detected or measured, and your "first hand
experience" will be insufficient evidence to earn you that Nobel.

So, you have designed and carried out experiments, or read reports of experiments designed and
carried out by others (perhaps something similar to the Michelson-Morley experiment that disproved
the idea of an ether for explaining the behavior of light), that demonstrate that qi cannot be
detected or measured? Interesting! Could we have the publication information or a URL please?

If you have not, then please refrain from making unscientific proclamations in the name of science.
You are held to the same standards as others if you wish to do science.

Wrong. They guestimated the amount of matter that should exist to enable the theory of an expanding
universe; then they calculated the amount of matter in the visible universe., and the two numbers
were not even close.

As someone correctly said that the influence decreased according to the square of the distance.

I postulated the theory 12 years ago to a college professor friend of mine that there were black
holes at the center of every spiral galaxy, so I think the dark matter is black holes.

I will take first hand experience over a second rate opinion every time.

I am not trying to earn a Nobel for two reasons.

1. I have no impressive degrees where people will listen to me.

2. I would have to deal with airheads like you and Tom. I am quite happy using universal lifeforce
energy on a daily basis to heal myself and friends.
