as a disabled person 25 years of chronic health not helped by western medicine..the last 5 years have gone down hill quickly..I used to aspire to do qi gong, now I heard your story I feel hope. I lost my inspiration though. family grief loss distance pain and my own pain loss and body betrayal. apartment habitability air quality/breathing/ immune issue from neighbors smoking making me sick for a year and being ignored by landladies that want to double the rent. my body is too senstivity to smoke and I am afraid to do practice in my apartment..even with air filters I get effected. I feel unvalued by society or even where I pay my rent for 13 y ears. I dont feel worth it anymore. How do I cultivate a practice when my core being is telling me I am not worth it. ?? I do believe in the miracles of this art. I just dont know how to get out of this toxic smoke / shame / long enough to get the 21 days of new habit. I dont have the stamina or focus to go outside to practice any longer. thank you for the hope.
Thanks for reaching out friend, and trusting me with your thoughts, your struggle and your process. May I say that many people want to talk about belief and motivation and perhaps hope and inspiration. These are all good. Simultaneously when you are feeling down and broken and ashamed (which is the bottom of the barrel) most people don't know this but this is a time to exercise dis-belief. Let me explain - not dis-believing that you have the power to heal yourself, BUT rather dis-believing the thought that you don't have the power to heal yourself! Dis-believing meaning withdrawing your faith (faith=power) in your inner and outer conditions. How does that work you might ask. Well one draw of the bow - the Qigong exercise - and done with focus and intention and you become more powerful than you were a moment ago. You build resilience. Ten times and you will feel more power. When you feel more power you feel bigger! You feel slightly bigger than your problems. If you say yes to even one qigong exercise than you are saying no to the idea that your circumstances own you. Or that your circumstances can keep you. This is a form of withdrawing your faith and belief in littleness. You don't need to know how to do it - you just need to try it and try it again and try it again. Practice being bigger. Shame essentially means that one is unloveable and worthless. It means one is a failure. Failure is part of the growing process and everyone is worthwhile, every human being is valuable. Ok so what to do? Draw the bow ten times a day. Create greater Wei Chi, protective energy. This alone will begin to change your attitude. Next - which is a meditation - "whatever all of this is, it cannot hold me, I'm moving on." There is a reason that Lao Tzu said follow the path of least resistance. And a reason that the more modern teaching called law of attraction says "that which we resist persists." And a reason why Jesus said As you give (forgiveness) so shall you receive it. Forgive them (the crazy ones) for they know not what they do. When you do that - even with little faith - watch what happens. It's called mini miracles. You are not helpless my friend..and you don't need to fix it all in a day, nor can you. But you can begin right where you are and you have nothing to lose! Check out some of my David J Coon Qigong Healing VLOGS you may find them helpful. 💞🌈🍀🔥☀️🙏🏻
@@QigongAwarenessThis is one of the most profoundly helpful replies to a comment I have ever seen. So helpful to those of us who feel stuck in physical, emotional, or spiritual dead-ends. Life-changing, powerful & amazing. And incredibly generous. You must have spent a lot of time composing it & years living & learning it. Thank you, so much. ❤
Enjoyed this very much, and the summit. Any way you could invest in a microphone of some kind, so you don’t need to raise your voice for the demo? The sound bounces all over your big empty room.
Many studies show that it takes 21 days to break any habit and form a new one. We do have a specific course for sale on our site that is called the 21 Day Qigong challenge. The program is set up to be practice 10 minutes a day although it could be practiced longer. So this is one specific answer to your question it requires a somewhat concentrated effort over a period of time with consistency. Essentially it takes a little bit of time to develop any new habit regardless of what it is. Once a habit has been created it is much more difficult to break whether that is a good habit or a bad habit. So although motivation seems to play a role here and it does on the level that it does it is really about habits. Another way of saying it and another way of recommending an approach would be to practice for a period of time such as 21 days or one month or two months to the best of your ability being as consistent as you can be and then what happens is many people will go away from the practice for a while but that contrast between what they're like when they are practicing versus what they're like when they're not practicing usually motivates a fair number of people to actually come back to the practice because they felt so good when they were doing the practice and then they felt like crap when they stopped doing it. But in order to have that kind of reference one has to practice enough over a period of time to actually have some kind of experience that's different than their everyday normal. Most people will not practice one time and then just practice then for the rest of their life. Most people need to experiment with it and then some people will get hooked on it. Qigong depending on how you practice it of course but it can become quite a high that heals many mental emotional and physical aches and pains of life. It can then become a practice that is incorporated into your lifestyle and it becomes a way of being. 🤙
You definitely can begin to both feel and also visualize energy. Simultaneously with Qigong practice it is like juggling balls when you first start out it's best to juggle two balls as opposed to eight. Little by little over time you can begin incorporating different practices within the practice. And as I mentioned in my other comment to you just a moment ago a practice like this could be done for 21 days right in a row and as you dedicate yourself to the practice for 21 days you start to give birth to things that you have never experienced before. And then from there you can build upon those.
I like everything this great guy says, I just don't like the CGI cartoon background behind him, because most people who love the truth prefer to see what our eyes actually see, as well as from the eyes of all the cameras helium raised. balloons at 120,000 feet altitude, not to program us with Religious Computer Graphics or with convex distorted horizons made with wide-angle Fisheye cameras!
What a great interview, and an amazing session afterwards. I'm so grateful to both of you. 🤗

Great practice
Enjoyed this very much, and the summit. Any way you could invest in a microphone of some kind, so you don’t need to raise your voice for the demo? The sound bounces all over your big empty room.
how do you not lose motivation to continue?

do you also visualize energy when you do those movements?
You definitely can begin to both feel and also visualize energy. Simultaneously with Qigong practice it is like juggling balls when you first start out it's best to juggle two balls as opposed to eight.
