Sifu's help with growth in neck

[gusty]

Subject;myself. 48 yr old male.A year and a half ago a rather large lump arose on the left side of my neck.Medical friends and my doctor said it was probably a infected salivary gland and operation too risky for reward.I enjoy great health due to my Chi gung practise and wasn't worried.Last year when Sifu came to New York i went to all his courses including internal force course.Only noticed a few days later it had reduced greatly in size [50%].In the insueing year i have just continued my practise without giving it much thought but family and friends were concerned.I told them i will wait till i see Sifu again and ask him if he would look at it.I got a few eye rolls,but people know i stay in good health with the practises i do even though they don't understand them.At a break in the second day of the Kung Fu course Sifu graciously gave in Brooklyn 2 weeks ago,I respectfully asked if he would have a look at it,he was very kind and in seconds had me stand before him.He stated of course it doesn't matter to us what the bump is,the treatment is the same.As i closed my eye's and let go of thought all i saw was his sword fingers pointing at the bump and immediatly the inner experience was my whole awareness.It felt like first the bump ,then my being turned to water,very pure water.Then i could feel a coolness eminate to my spine,split out to each of my arms and out to my fingers.[can one have a single line of goose bumps?it felt like that on the outside of the arms]Then kind of a blast at the point in my spine directly behind the heart and very quickly down to pelvis and back of each leg to heel and to big toe.Then a kind of gap,no awareness really 'of' anything, just aware.Then just a feeling of all is well, or well being.I thanked him and he told me it may be 6 weeks before it's totally gone,but just continue my practise, adding something he told me to do.[very simple,gentle instruction].I decided to take a walk during the break across the Broolyn bridge.By the time i got back to the park,less than an hour, my brother called on my cell.He didn't know i was in NY that weekend,but was asking about the lump in my neck.I reached up to feel it and it had already quite noticeabily decreased in size and had moved a bit.Strangley i had forgotten about it already and was simply very much enjoying my walk.Two weeks later it is almost gone,and strangly has moved over by my adams apple.How can a gland move, i don't know, and honestly don't care.I don't know for certain what it was ,AND it doesn't matter.The Master says don't worry and continue your practise, i endeavor as best i can to be a good student.Thank you to the Masters before, To Sifu , and Thank you to Eugene for facilitating this great opportunity for those that attended.I have much more to be thankful for that occured at the course and will report it in other posts.In Gratitude, Gusty

I too doubt glands will move about.

Blockages, however..

Thank you for sharing.

Thank you Gusty for describing this powerful experience. I have also had chi transmitted to me by Sigung and can very much relate to your description.

All the best

Thank you all.It is such a pleasure to share my experience with others who understand.I feel so blessed in so many ways.As a martial artist i am having a ball.Little a-ha moments happen all the time.The joy of actually experiencing what the classics speak of.The smallest correction from the Master can change everything.And i have no feelings that i wasted my time before,it feels more like i was just getting ready for meeting Sifu.I would like to relate something that happened at the dinner at the end of the course.This is more on the spiritual level.In itself to dine with Sifu is a great privelidge.And he graciously agreed to answer any question we had.I asked him a fairly lengthy question regarding my own karma.His answer was in one sentence,or at least thats all i heard.The Zen of it went straight to my core.All I could say was 'I"m dissolving".And it went on for hours.I could function and talk ok[after a little while],but the process continued.It became clear it wasn't ME [the real me] that was dissolving, but an identification,a structure at the bottom of my solar plexus,and it had greatly affected my hearts capacity to stay open.It was made of guilt and shame of a lifetime.Not that i'm a bad person,just the guilt that most people accumulate it seems.With Sifu's Zen ,like a sword straight to the heart of the matter,I could forgive myself in way i couldn't before imagine.It's magic.And i am thankful.I wish the joy that truly feeling thankful can bring for all beings.So physical health,martial art, and spiritual joy.All in a long weekend.Priceless.The 'Platinum card' is a very good analogy.Thank you all for your support, Gusty

Hey Gusty,

Glad to hear that you're doing so well. I was there when you ask him for help and by the time I turned around all I saw was Sifu slashing his sword fingers a few inches in front of your shoulder & chest area and then standing next to you with both hands covering his dantian area asking you to go into chi flow. It's pretty amazing to an untrained eye that such powerful healing was taking place with such seemingly effortless motion.

I too in the week prior asked Sifu to help me with an energy blockage right behind my neck on my spine area and Sifu graciously did something to that affected area. I'm happy to say that after sitting at my desk for a long period of time the blockage no longer bothers me. I still feel something after a long day sitting at my desk but it's more of a dispersed sensation rather than the intense glowing pressure that I've had before.

Thank You once again Sifu for your generosity and profound teachings.
