chi gung and Deep vein Thrombosis

[sgant80]

Dear Readers,

Ive been prqacticing chi gung for around 2 years now, after attending an intensive chi-gung course with Sifu in Sungai Petani.

Last week i was diagnosied with deep vien thrombosis in my upperarm/ chest, currently im on lots of bloody thinning meds and havent had any tests run yet to find out the cause, personally i belive its just a one of, well thats the only way i should look at it as healing starts in the head so to speak, however im at a dilema as to the best way to go about practicing chi gung specifically to combat this current problem, right now even the lifting the sky, seems to worry me due to the location of the clot, and also the doctor saying not to stretch my arm.

Any suggestion as to how i can continue to practice, and it in what way would be a great help.

Also if anyone else has had this problem who is a wahnam member who maybe has beaten this or could advise in any way. this would go a long way in booasting my moral and confidnece in get over this small hurdle.

many thanks

Simon

Dear Simon,

Sorry to hear of your current problem. On the intensive course, I'm sure you learned the skill of "Tapping Energy from the Cosmos with just the Mind". If so, this may be your safest bet for now i.e. remove the physical level (except Chi Flow) from your practice.

If in doubt, though, please contact Sifu directly.

Best regards,
Andrew

Dear Andrew,

Many thanks for the reply, ill try and find Sifu's email and write to him.

Failing that a couple of friends will be heading down to sungai petani for new years and ill ask the to speak to Sifu at the Chi Gung course.

With regards to tapping into the cosmos energy, i need a small reminder as to that, as when ive been practicing its basically been simple relaxing lifting the sky and not trying to complicate things. i found i wasnt enjoying it as much as my mind was to active trying to think if i was doing it correctly. i hope ive made that clear?

Kind Regards

Tapping Cosmic Energy is a skill and not really a technique. Please write to Sifu via his secretary: shaolin (at) pd.jaring.my

My advice here can only be provisional as I don't have all I would need to give you definitive advice.

If in doubt, practice safety first -- i.e. avoid anything you may feel to be risky.

Im going to follow your advice and email Sifu.

And im sure it will be sorted out in no time.

Kind Regards

Simon
