SPRING FOREST
QIGONG
ENERGY HEALING
Qigong Energy Healing
Spring Forest Qigong Energy Healing is a powerful energy
healing system.

Qigong Energy Healing breaks down the old energy in your body
that is no longer needed and is creating blocks, removes it and
replaces it with Universal Source Energy, thereby creating a
healing from the wholeness of Source Energy (God).

The creator and teacher of Spring Forest Qigong is Master
Chunyi Lin who studied under very power masters in China.
“We in the field of nutrition and medicine have
much to learn from healing masters like Chunyi Lin.”

                                      How Spring Forest Qigong Works   
Since everything is energy that means you are an energy being. Your thoughts are also a form of energy. Sickness, whether it manifests physically,
mentally or emotionally, is also a form of energy.  

Energy can’t be created or destroyed but it can be transformed.  Simply put, Spring Forest Qigong healing is accomplished by manipulating and
transforming the energy that is the root cause of the sickness.

As an energy being, your body was designed to have its energy always flowing smoothly and in perfect balance. The energy flows through the many
energy channels or meridians in the body. (Acupuncture is based on the exact same principle but acupuncture requires the use of needles by a
skilled professional.)

You can think of your body’s energy system like water flowing in a river. When the water is flowing smoothly in the river, everything is fine,
everything is in balance. When something happens causing a blockage in the river that’s when problems start.  Upstream the water overflows the
river’s banks and there is flooding, while downstream the river dries up and there is drought. Remove the blockage and everything returns to its
natural balance.

More specifically, disease or dis-ease is caused by energy blockages in the body. Usually this means too much energy in one place or too little.
Either way, your energy is out of balance, creating an energy blockage. Energy blockages are caused by many things but most commonly by our
emotions or by stress. Energy blockages cause your body’s natural healing system to breakdown and malfunction.  (By the way, there is no such
thing as “good” energy or “bad” energy.  Energy is energy. Problems result only because there is too much or too little energy in one place.)

Remove the blockage or blockages, restore energy balance and the disease, sickness, or other problem goes away – not just the symptoms but the
root cause of the problem is removed.  That is part of what is so beautiful and powerful about Spring Forest Qigong, it gets at the root cause of the
problem not just the symptoms.

Spring Forest Qigong practice can help you remove the energy blockages in your body, restore your natural balance and keep your energy flowing
smoothly, enabling you to live the healthiest, happiest, most productive and rewarding life possible.    
“I think Spring Forest Qigong is basically the way much
of healing will go over the next 50 to 100 years.”
Bill Manahan, M.D., University of Minnesota School of Medicine
Understanding Spring Forest Qigong  
Spring Forest Qigong is based on the simple yet profound understanding that everything in the universe is energy. Many people think of energy in a
very limited way. They think of energy as being electricity or the gasoline that powers their car.  Electricity and gasoline are indeed forms of energy but
everything in the universe is also a form of energy.

Qigong began and remains a science – the study of how the universe works at its most basic, energetic level.  It all started more than 5,000 years ago
when Chinese scholars, studying the workings of the universe, first discovered and established the eastern scientific principle that everything is
energy.

Fast forward a few millennia to the early 20th Century, when a brilliant young physicist named Albert Einstein came to the same conclusion. Einstein
established the western, scientific principle that everything in the universe is based on dynamic relationships of energy. Again, everything is energy.  
As Einstein also recognized, energy can neither be created nor destroyed but energy can be transformed.

The ancient Chinese scholars called this universal energy Qi (pronounced chee).  In China, the study and practice of transforming the energy (Qi) to
live a life of optimum health, wellness and happiness came to be called Qigong. (Qigong has many other facts as well but it is the healing aspect we
are focused on.)

For thousands of years the practice of Qigong was a closely guarded secret revealed only to a chosen few. Even today, traditional Qigong techniques
can be very difficult to learn requiring years of rigid, disciplined practice to develop proficiency. Traditional Qigong Masters still withhold the most
powerful Qigong techniques from all but a select few.

After years of dedicated study with some of the finest Qigong masters in his native China, Qigong Master Chunyi Lin has taken away the mystery, rigid
discipline and difficulty.  In Spring Forest Qigong he has created a technique that is so simple anyone can learn it, yet it is very, very powerful. Spring
Forest Qigong is a revolutionary approach to the ancient Chinese teachings, revised and enhanced for the 21st Century.

A certified, international Qigong Master, Chunyi Lin broke from ancient traditions because of his strong conviction that “Qigong is such a powerful tool
for healing the whole world needs to know about it and benefit from it.” Indeed, Qigong has been called the most powerful healing technique the world
has ever known.
General Research on Qigong  
The art and science of Qigong, which is the foundation of all Chinese Medicine, is over 5,000 years old. Much research has been conducted over five
millennia on Chinese medicine, but only recently is it being conducted using the scientific paradigms of the West.

At the Fifth World Congress of Qigong held in 2002, Beverly Rubik, Ph.D, a biophysicist, President of the Institute for Frontier Science USA, and member
of the Advisory Council of the National Center for Complementary and Alternative Medicine at the National Institutes of Health, suggested that scientists
and Qigong practitioners develop clearer terms for basic theory to bridge the gap between Western and ancient Chinese medical concepts. “Nothing is
fresh in the scientific terminology,” Rubik said. “Even the term ‘energy’ has been mechanized. (But) Qigong energy is a special kind of intelligent
information that facilitates healing.”

The opening speaker at the World Congress was Dr. Deepak Chopra. Chopra said: “There has been a fundamental shift in the premise of science. The
essential nature of the material world is that it is not material….The human body is as proportionately void as intergalactic space….We are not in the
world, the world is in us.” Chopra has given a positive endorsement of Master Lin’s Spring Forest Qigong.

Over the past 15 years, there has been significant concentration of research on Qigong. Studies have been conducted on the effects of Qigong on
hundreds of diseases.  

Dr. Kenneth Sancier, a PhD chemist and founder of The Qigong Institute, has conducted an extensive review of Qigong research. The following are
excerpts of some of his published findings.
After extensive review of numerous qigong studies, Kenneth M. Sancier, PhD presented the following findings in a scientific report, “Medical Applications
of Qigong,” published in Alternative Therapies Vol. 2, No.1, PP. 40-46 (1996)

Stroke and Mortality Rates Decrease
In a study of hypertensive patients over a period of 20 years, the mortality rate in the group that practiced Qigong was nearly half of the group who did
not practice Qigong.

Blood Pressure Stabilizes
Over a 20-year period, blood pressure of the Qigong group stabilized, whereas that of the control group increased.

Sex Hormone Levels Improve
One consequence of aging is that levels of sex hormones change in unfavorable directions. Studies indicate that this trend [including Estrogen
imbalances] can be reversed by Qigong exercise. In an auxiliary study, changes were accompanied by improvements in symptoms such as soreness,
dizziness, insomnia, hair loss, impotence, and incontinence associated with kidney deficiency hypertension.

Bone Density Increases
Bone density increased in men who practiced Qigong for one year. It is likely Qigong therapy would also help restore bone density in women as well.

Cancer and Drug Treatment Improve
Patients with “medically diagnosed malignant cancer” were divided into two groups. All received drugs, but one group also practiced Qigong. “Both
groups improved, but the [Qigong] group showed improvement in strength, appetite, freedom from diarrhea, and weight gain four to nine times greater
than the control group.”

Senility Symptoms Improve
After six months, eight of the 14 main clinical signs and symptoms in the Qigong group had improved more than 80%, whereas no symptoms in the
control group had improved more than 45%.


Bloodflow to Brain Increases. Memory Improves. Insomnia, Numbness, Vertigo Headaches , and Cholesterol
Decrease
Qigong exercise has been shown by rheoencephalography to increase bloodflow to the brain. Two studies show Qigong increases bloodflow to the
brain.  Subjects with cerebral arteriosclerosis who practice Qigong for one to six months, improvements were noted in symptoms such as memory,
dizziness, insomnia, tinnitus, numbness of limbs, and vertigo headache. During these studies, a decrease in plasma cholesterol was also noted.

The following findings were presented by Kenneth M. Sancier, PhD in a scientific report, “Therapeutic Benefits of Qigong Exercises in Combination with
Drugs” in the Journal of Alternative and Complementary Medicine, Vol. 5, #4, PP. 383-389 (1999).

Combination of Qigong and Drugs is Superior Drug Therapy Alone
Research shows “Qigong is believed to relax the body, promote the flow or Qi (energy), blood, oxygen, and nutrients to all cells of the body, and promote
the removal of waste products from cells. We may assume that Qigong also promotes drug uptake by tissue and cells.”


The following are excerpts from an article titled, “Medical Applications of Qigong and Emitted Qi on Humans,
Animals, Cell Cultures, and Plants: Review of Selected Scientific Research,” written by Kenneth M. Sancier,
Ph.D., and Bingkun Hu, PhD,  that appeared in the American Journal of Acupuncture, Vol. 19, No. 4, PP. 367-
377 (1991).

Tumors Reduced or Eliminated
Researchers suggest that emitted Qi damages tumor cells, inhibits their growth, promotes the regenerative function of the lymph system, and increase
anti-tumorigenic function in rats. ... Therefore, such studies provide support for the numerous claims that emitted Qi and personal Qigong exercise can
cure or inhibit cancer growth in humans.

Qigong Effects Cancer Cells
Researchers conclude that Qi-treated lung cancer cells tend to lose their neoplastic character, but they exhibited less of this tendency than liver cancer
cells, which they also studied.

Qigong helps cure disease and promotes health
We observe that the emitted Qi affected all the functions of cell-mediated immune systems that were measured, not just one part of the system. Thus,
the study offers a mechanism by which Qigong helps cure disease and promote health in a holistic way.

Helpful with HIV and AIDS
Qigong was hypothesized as being helpful to HIV-infected individuals. Anxiety, depression and T-cell counts were measured. A statistically significant
increase in T-cells and a statistically significant decrease in anxiety and depression were found.
Research on Spring Forest Qigong, Depression Study  

General Research

Spring Forest Qigong found "highly effective" in treating Depression
A study conducted during the summer of 2002 found that Spring Forest Qigong "is a highly effective complementary and alternative treatment modality
for depression and should be considered as an adjunct to psychotherapy treatment."

The study was conducted over a period of two months by Frances V. Gaik, a doctoral candidate at the Adler School of Psychology in Chicago, Illinois.
The study findings were included in Ms. Gaik's dissertation. She subsequently was awarded her doctorate in January of 2003.

After in depth research into qigong techniques, Dr. Gaik selected Spring Forest Qigong techniques for her study. A total of "39 subjects suffering from
DSM-IV diagnosis of Major Depressions, Dysthymia or Bipolar Disorder" were taught the Level One Spring Forest Qigong techniques by Master Chunyi
Lin in a one-day training session at the end of June 2002. Master Lin met with the subjects again at the end of July and the end of August.

Each subject was also provided with SFQ Level One videotape, manual and audiotapes including the SFQ Small Universe and Self-Concentration
meditations. The subjects were directed to practice either the Level One Active Exercises or meditations for at least forty minutes each day and to keep a
log of their practice sessions.

Dr. Gaik found that "all subjects improved over the treatment period" and "a very significant level of improvement in the majority of the subjects who were
measured at serious levels of depression."

The following are excerpts from Dr. Gaik's study: "A Preliminary Study Applying Spring Forest Qigong to Depression as an Alternative and
Complementary Treatment."

ABSTRACT
A pilot study with 39 subjects suffering from DSM-IV diagnosis of Major Depression, Dysthymia or Bipolar Disorder were treated with the Eastern
Traditional Chinese Medicine technique of qigong. Treatment included qi emission treatment by qualified practitioners, and subjects were required to
practice qigong exercise for a two-month period. Significant improvement was observed, especially in the first month on the measurements of Beck's
Depression Index-Revised (BDI-R) (.0000) and Symptom Checklist -90 R (SCL-90-R) Depression Index (.00003), Interpersonal Sensitivity (.00003).
SCL-90 Somaticism indexes as well as three criteria from DSM-IV guidelines are also reported on indicating an overall trend of improvement over time. All
subjects improved over the treatment period and it is determined that the qigong exercise is a highly effective complementary and alternative treatment
modality for depression and should be considered as an adjunct to psychotherapy treatment. No significant difference was seen in those subjects
treated with qi emission.

Anecdotal Reports
Specific reports of somatic and symptom relief were reported which deserve to be mentioned: 1) one woman stated that the ringing in her ear had
disappeared immediately after the first qi emission treatment. She reported that she had consistently experienced this ringing for a period of nine years;
2) another woman stated that she had reduced her insulin levels; 3) another woman with numerous physical problems stated that she no longer needed
to take Vicodin to sleep at night, and she began a job after a long period of not working; 4) another woman stated she had cut her anti-depressant
medication in half; 5) another woman stated that she found she could get answers to her problems while doing the qigong exercise.
("A Preliminary Study Applying Spring Forest Qigong to Depression as an Alternative and Complementary Treatment," Frances V. Gaik, Psy. D. pg. 81)


Research Results
The results were most successful in that the subjects reported significant and substantial relief of symptoms connected with DSM-IV guidelines and there
were no reported negative side effects of the treatment.
The researcher and all three practitioners noted that physical presentation and appearance of the group was markedly different and improved at the end
of the treatment period than when they first presented two months earlier. There was a noticeable difference in the affect and presentation of the
subjects. The practitioners commented on their original concern at the first meeting about how "serious" and sad the subjects looked. By the last
session, the subjects displayed an enthusiastic attitude and their affect was markedly changed to a more responsive and animated level. They were
genuinely curious about the qigong technique and made inquiry about advanced levels of practice. Although the study treatment period lasted only two
months, the trend of improvement may continue to be experienced with continuation of the exercise as length of practice indicates that greater change
can occur over time, especially after 12 months (Kawano, 1997; 1998).
(Ibid. pg. 83)


Clinical Implications
The health care system is currently in a state of crisis with more than 41 million people uninsured and mental health care is, in reality, a non-issue with
insurance carriers. The current accepted mode of treatment for depression, the most commonly diagnosed mental difficulty, includes cognitive
behavioral therapy and medication. The perspective that we are interconnected through an energy field and that this energy can be enhanced and
ultimately exchanged in human interactions, whether they be through thoughts, emotions or physical action, is a major shift in paradigm which is not
addressed in the current accepted therapies. The qigong exercise is believed to enhance the human energy system of the individual over time, building
upon health and a sense of well being. According to qigong principles, the individual subjects learned to cultivate, store and manipulate "energy" or qi
which activated symptom relief. The subjects could indeed have learned to mobilize innate healing potential and reverse the negative effects of
depression, as well as taking personal responsibility for their health.

An energetic approach to depression offers the opportunity to change our perception about human relationships and how to modulate our own response
to "toxic environments" and their effects upon our own energy field. The subjects in this study were not removed from their everyday difficulties, nor were
they given psychotherapy; they were trained in how to better cope with and balance their emotional world and to develop a sense of self mastery. A
balanced control of their response was the goal rather than a dependency upon medication or the need to see a therapist. This is the first study to apply
qigong as a curative in depression and significant results were observed over the short-term of two months. The subjects learned a technique which
offers a lifetime modality for dealing with stress and the negative effects of depression. If the trend continues as expected, they may have learned to
mobilize their own healing potential. The technique is cost effective (the price of the video and audio tapes) and there were no reported side effects of
the exercise.

The results provided a significant improvement in all subjects. In applications of a new treatment, only a few events of sufficiently high significance can be
enough to assert that a new phenomenon exists with a high level of confidence; this study indicates a very significant level of improvement in the majority
of the subjects who were measured at serious levels of depression. The qigong exercise has been differentiated from meditation and visualization
through EEG activity (Ueda, et. Al.,1997), which cannot merely account for the significant levels of improvement seen in this study. The qigong exercise
is not comparable to physical exercise, in that it is not exertive to the levels necessary to release endorphins.

Given the theoretical acceptance of the concept that the human system has energy transformers called chakras and that we are affected by the flow of
this energy through the meridian system, speculation on the results may be considered in light of energetic theories posited by Kunz and Peper (1983).
Dora Kunz was one of the originators of Therapeutic Touch which is widely taught and used by nursing staff.

A decrease of energy is a common factor of depression and there are complex factors involved. Normal mood changes of anxiety, disappointment and
sadness may be an incipient factor in shutting down or closing of the solar plexus chakra, responsible for the main energy flow intake, according to Kunz.
As the whole system is energetically recharging at a lower rate, the individual is expending more energy through dealing with turbulent feelings, and
consequently less energy is available. Anxious and depressed individuals tend to breathe in a shallow pattern, and this will also affect the flow of oxygen
and energy into the body. The qigong exercise encourages a deep and measured breath, increasing oxygen to the organism.
