External Qi Healing Training part 1

What an enlightening and educational weekend!

There are 26 of us from all over the country that signed up to receive training from Master Chen in his External Qi Healing method.  I think I can safely say that everyone in the group will admit Master Chen is extraordinary.

It is hard to believe, but due to the political atmosphere in China, Master Chen would not be allowed to teach a lot of what he is teaching our class here in America.  We students are extremely lucky to be receiving instruction of a teacher of this caliber.  First off, there are not that many Taoist priests on the planet, and the majority of them live in China.  Of these few priests, little have had the extensive training that Master Chen has had.  Although I’m pretty sure he would not admit it, he is among the elite of his community.  Also hardly any of the Taoist Masters speak any modicum of English.  So for an American, who does not know how to speak Chinese, learning anything from a Master of Wu Dang is an absolute rarity.  But because of his command of the English language, Master Chen is easily understandable as a teacher.  He cracks jokes.  His style of lecture is animated, and he is easily approachable for questions.  The man is a walking library of Taoism, Chinese culture and Traditional Chinese Medicine. And the best part, he is more than willing to teach those who wish to learn from him.

And learn we did!  Most days Master Chen lectured for at least ten hours.  It was an amazing amount of information that I will likely be spending the next couple of months digesting.  We were also taught forms of Qi Gong that are not taught anywhere but at Wu Dang.  Needless to say, I have a lot of work ahead of me in memorizing these forms and putting them into my daily routine, but I look forward to the challenge.  When I get them learned, I guarantee that my own health and energy will be improved.

I am looking forward to learning more from Master Chen in December. This weekend was mind-blowing and we’re only getting started on the journey.  I will be sure to keep my blog readers posted on how I am progressing in this training, my struggles and my successes.  But I honestly believe that I will become a better practitioner through this training.  This of course means that my treatments will be more effective and I will be able to help more people.  That is the ultimate goal.

Anyhow, as I’ve said, I will be keeping you posted.  Please keep me in your prayers and positive thoughts, and I will continue to work hard so that I can be of better service to you all.
