What’s Cramping Your Style?
George wrote me last week that he was having a lot of trouble sleeping. It seemed that his leg and hand cramps were causing a lot of problems. Hear's what he said," Dear Dr. Wu, I been having cramps in my hands and feet for the last few months and they seem to be escalating. I changed my diet, increased the vitamins, I have been taking a close look at what I may have changed in my lifestyle. What I noticed is I have been working outside doing more gardening in the hot sun. Do you think it could be the heat?' Its more than I have been for a few years, but I never got cramps from that. What do you think I can do about it? Here is my reply: George, there are a few reasons for cramps. It could be that you are overusing your muscles, or dehydration, muscle strain, or simply holding a position for a prolonged period. In many cases, however, the cause isn't known for sure. Although most muscle cramps are harmless, some may be related to an underlying medical condition like narrowing of the arteries that deliver blood to your legs, compression of nerves in your spine (lumbar stenosis), lacking of minerals such as potassium, calcium, or magnesium in your diet. When I am seeing a patient who displays symptoms like you have, I start thinking about the tendons and their flexibility and agility. Are you practicing Qi Gong? How many days a week? I'd suggest you start practicing daily. This will help or completely eliminate the problem. http://rechargingqigong.com/flying-crane-qi-gong.html If you come to my office, I'll most likely start looking at a lot of specific things like some coldness or dampness in your body, or maybe it can be coming from blood or Qi deficiency. In that case, acupuncture and moxibustion can effectively suppress hyperactive muscles. In Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM), leg cramps are mainly due to coldness stimulation as well as improper blood and Qi activities of the legs. Acupuncture can play a role to promote circulation, loosen the tendons, alleviate cramps, and ease pain. But before you flip out with all the different things I'd, get a copy of The Flying Crane Qigong http://rechargingqigong.com/flying-crane-qi-gong.html and start practicing. Within a few weeks, you should be able to get a good night sleep and kick those cramps out of your body forever. I wish you the best in your Health, Wealth and Happiness. Dr. Wu Dhi
How to Accumulate Good Merit in this Lifetime
How to Accumulate Good Merit in this Lifetime
Whenever you get the opportunity, you want to
accumulate as much good merit as possible. It is
said that the path of enlightenment needs the
accumulation of merit to be complete, just as a
bird needs two wings to fly and, if left with only
one, wind will just make it flop on the ground. It
is said that one of those wings is your practice
and the other is the teaching.
There are practices that I learned from my master
years ago that I haven’t shared with you as yet
how to free yourself from a bad or undesirable
birth. This is one practice you should take up to
make a nightly offering to the hungry ghosts as
referred to in Buddhism and Taoism, also called
the “pretas” in Hinduism, spirits in
Confucianism, “souls in purgatory” in
Christianity, and “suffering souls” or in
other religions. Do they exist? You can bet your
sweet ass they do. They are suffering being reborn
with misshapen bodies for their cravings, desires,
and having done evil deeds. The realm of desire,
of which we are denizens, has many types of beings
that can be partitioned into six levels: hell
beings, hungry ghosts, animals, humans, titans,
and Gods. Hungry ghosts have it the worse, which
is why blessing food to make it possible for them
to eat it is performing an act of tremendous
merit. Every night you can make the following
offering so that they have food to eat and water
to drink. When you have dinner, have a small
portion of the food, bless it, and leave it
outside for the hungry ghosts. It will take you
just a few minutes and see it as an act of
kindness and a way of ending suffering.
Want more info on the six realms? Of course you
do. The Internal Mantra program will teach you how
to free yourself from suffering and avoid taking
birth in a lower realm
http://rechargingqigong.com/the-internal-mantra-program.html.
If you ask me, this is a paramount teaching and a
foundation in your spiritual growth.
I wish you the best in your Health, Wealth, and
Happiness.

How Monsters Can Affect Your Internal Practices
How Monsters Can Affect Your Internal Practices
When I was a youngster, my two uncles would tell me stories that would scare me so much that I
would sleep with the covers over my head and
always made sure that the closet door was shut
tight before getting into bed. I thought they were
just playing and having fun, but it really made an
impact on me in those early years. I liked going
to monster movies when I was a little older and,
although they frightened me, I was hooked. Maybe
it was the fear factor or the adrenaline rush that
kept me going to those Saturday afternoon
matinees. When I came home from the movies, I’d
always make up energetic webs to protect me from
who or whatever would be lurking in the shadows.
As I reached adulthood, I started studying
different cultures and found out that mythology is
filled to the brim with monsters, a
nd that monsters have been a part of human culture since
our earliest days. Through the many years of my
studies of mythology, religions, and spiritual
work, I learned many different protections and the
secrets of building, storing, and cultivating my
internal power. And in so doing, I have cultivated
my internal power as a Medical Qi Gong doctor
(China) and a teacher of internal exercises like
Qigong and Shen gong. The Recharging Qi Gong
program will build your internal energy and help
you to store and cultivate internal power you will
need to enhance your practices.

How To Build Yin Energy In The Summer Heat
How To Build Yin Energy In The Summer Heat
It’s really HOT in the USA, and some idiots are
still claiming that there is no global warming. I
have lived in South Florida for over twenty years,
and this is the hottest summer I can ever
remember.
Your body just starts acting weird. Your
balance is affected and wobbles from side to side
like you are drunk. You can start losing your
equilibrium all together. Your muscles can start
to cramp up with just a temperature increase of
one or two degrees and can affect you even if you
have been drinking water to replace what you
sweated out. When you get overheated, your blood
vessels dilate to release as much heat away from
your system as possible, causing blood to pool in
your ankles which is not good. According to
the U.S. Centers for Disease Control, if you are
exposed to extreme heat for a prolonged period,
you may stop sweating altogether. This is
potentially fatal leading to heat stroke. Also,
brain fog is common from heat exhaustion and you
are apt to make unwise and unsafe decisions. It is
a real hazard for workers who need to keep their
concentration. Aside from increased irritability,
you start losing the ability to do skilled or
mental tasks. As your core temperature rises
further above the body’s natural temperature, you
can get nausea to the point you start to vomit,
and diarrhea may set in. Those muscle cramps I was
talking about earlier may happen more frequently,
you’ll experience palpitations, and tingling or
numbness of the hands or feet.
After work today, I came home and decided to work
in the garden. I was removing a fence post and,
after only twenty minutes, my strength started to
falter and I sat down for a few minutes. That’s
when I started to get somewhat nauseous, and I
knew I had to take some action. First, I moved to
a cooler, shaded location, went in the house
and removed my clothes including socks and
shoes. Then, I applied cool, wet cloths to my
head, face, and neck, and started to drink water
with just a little salt in it to replace the
electrolytes. If this happens to you, you’d better
do this fast. Without treatment, you may find
yourselves in the grip of potentially deadly heat
stroke. They say that heat stroke takes you to
death’s door. If you think you’re seeing signs of
full-fledged heat stroke, all medical authorities
say to call 911. It is that serious. If someone is
at the stage of heat stroke, their core
temperature is at 104 F or higher, and their
body’s mechanisms for handling the heat have
failed. That can include the loss of so much body
fluids that sweating stops altogether. Here are
some signs of heat stroke or heat exhaustion to
watch out for: hot, dry skin, profuse sweating,
confusion, loss of consciousness, seizures, and
very high body temperature.
As soon as I cooled down, I started to practice
the; Flying Crane Qi Gong
http://rechargingqigong.com/flying-crane-qi-gong.html
to regain my balance and to add more yin (cooling
energy) back into my body. This time of the year
when the temperature soars, it’s best to practice
your Qi gong early morning before the sun comes up
and a few hours after sunset to gather more Qi and
to cool down the body/mind and spirit. I am really
doing the Flying Crane Qi Gong set both early
morning and after the sunsets. Try it for thirty
days and you will notice the energy shift without
a doubt.

If the Walls Could Talk
If the Walls Could Talk
If the walls could talk, what stories would they
tell about you and the way you live? Our homes and
possessions have energetic imprints that can
affect how we live on a daily basis. You may be
living in a home with stale energy or, even worse,
sick energy that will affect you and your family’s
health mentally and physically. It is important to
clear and resolve energetic imprints from past
situations in your home, office, and property as
soon as possible.
http://rechargingqigong.com/house-cleanse.html
This is an area that I have always found quite
interesting and have been researching for over two
or three decades. You would be surprised how much
influence your home and possessions have over the
type of life you live. The vibrations
of past owners are also imprinted into your home
and your property. This energy will hang around
until you do something to clear it. Some of it is
good, and some no longer serves you or the way you
want to conduct your life.
When I bought my home, I had thoughts about how
the home will fit into my lifestyle. Is there
enough room, is the structure sound, and are there
any roof leaks – stuff like that. I even hired a
house inspector to look over every nook and cranny
on the physical level. But house inspectors don’t
feel the energy of the house and have no idea what
vibrations have been embedded into the walls.
Anything that you happened to pick up at the
antique store or the flea market or a garage sale
could have picked up sick energy, which you don’t
want to bring into your home without clearing it.
How can you determine if something has good
energy, or stale, sick vibes? You can see if there
is an imbalance by noticing that there is no one
coming to visit, or there is never a rest and
people are always knocking on your door. Do you
have issues with your neighbors? It may not even
be your fault. It maybe something from a past
owner and, energetically, it just keeps going on.
They call this an energetic footprint.
Many times, when we get a new home, we only look
at the specific features a home offers and forget
to check the much more subtle, quiet things that
really make the house a home. It is a perfectly
valid question to ask if there has been anyone
that died in the home. You may be quite aware of
the presence of spirits in the house but choose to
overlook it if it matches all of your physical
criteria. Are there ghosts or poltergeists in the
house and how would you know that? Does a property
have to stay this way forever? No. Many of those
issues can be cleared energetically. A property
clearing can identify and clear those issues for
you. This can make selling your own home easier
and also make your current home a more pleasant
place to live in.

Ancestor Practice To Keep You Healthy
I sent my granddaughter a string of pearls that belonged to my mother. Her great-grandmother instructed me to give each one of her grandchildren a set of pearls that she wore and treasured which my father bought her on their trip to China. All families have heirlooms they hold dear. This is a tradition in our family and many families all over the world - to pass down their treasures or heirlooms that were in the family for many years from one generation to another. I treasure the candlestick holders of my great-grandmothers and the pocket watch collection of my father, which I will pass down one day to my children. I hope this tradition will continue on to many generations. Heirlooms are special treasures of the past that make you feel good when you look at them and bring out memories and stories of loved ones. Although we hold on to our families treasures for many years, most people in the West don't have a clue of any ancestor practice. Ancestor practice is a ritual that is based on the belief that deceased family members have a continued existence, takes an interest in the affairs of the world, and possesses the ability to influence the fortune of the living. Its goal is to ensure the ancestors' continued well-being and positive disposition towards the living, and sometimes to ask for special favors or assistance. The social or nonreligious function of ancestor worship is "to cultivate kinship values like filial piety, family loyalty, and continuity of the family lineage. When I was in acupuncture school many years ago, I went to the grave site of my ancestors and asked for their help to move me into a passion to be able to help more people. My Qigong practices are one of the ways that I help people reach their full potential. Open up to your full potential and get going on your Qigong practices. http://rechargingqigong.com/qigong-video-bundle.html I wish you the best in your Health, Wealth, and Happiness. Dr. Wu Dhi
What’s the Meaning of this New Moon?
The New Moon on Monday, 4th July 2016, is in
Gemini. It represents the end of one cycle and the
beginning of a new 28-day cycle; we have 12 moons
in a calendar-year. This is the ideal time to make
a fresh start and declare your independence. Make
a list of the things you want to get done in the
next two weeks before the Full Moon. You wouldn’t
start a trip if you had no idea where you were
going. Your to-do list will give you a map of what
needs to be started now and what needs to be
finished. The New Moon is the perfect time to get
the ball rolling in the right direction.
The next Full
Moon is on the 19th of July, it’s called the Buck
Moon or Thunder Moon by the early Native
Americans. Bucks begin to grow new antlers at this
time. On the other hand, it was also known as the
Thunder Moon because thunderstorms are so frequent
during this month. The Native Americans did not
record time by using the months of the Julian or
Gregorian calendar, but kept track of time by
observing the seasons and lunar months.
Many cultures throughout the world have Thunder
Gods and strongly believe around thunder and
lightning. Some Japanese parents tell their
children to hide their bellybuttons during
thunderstorms. This is due to a folk belief that
Raijin is sometimes credited with eating the
navels or abdomen of children when it thunders.
This year, the 4th of July, the Independence Day,
and the New Moon all arrive today. Set your goals,
begin your new projects, and declare your
independence from procrastination, laziness, and
sloth.

The Best Way To Stay Hydrated All Summer
The Best Way To Stay Hydrated All Summer
It’s HOT all over the USA, and Florida is hot and
humid. This is the time of the year that people
get dehydrated.
Water makes up at least two-thirds of the human
body, hence, if you are not watering it look out.
Water plays a large part in your normal bodily
functions, such as lubricating your joints and
eyes, keeping your skin healthy by eliminating
toxins, and proper digestion. Once the water in
your body is reduced, it needs to be replaced. An
imbalance between the salts and sugar in your body
can affect your health both mentally and
physically. If your body has lost one to two
percent of its entire water content, you will feel
thirsty, a sign that you need to replenish the
lost liquids.
Dehydration happens when you have lost too much
water by working in the heat, playing sports, and
even lovemaking, if it’s too hot. I am not a fan
of hot yoga, reason being too much heat injures
the heart and the fire-water yin-yang balance.
Mild dehydration can easily be treated but, if it
reaches extreme levels, it can be life-threatening
and will require immediate medical attention.
Signs and symptoms of dehydration include
tiredness, dry skin, headache, constipation,
irritability and confusion, sunken eyes, and fear.
When we get dehydrated, we lose minerals, and then
our muscles cramp which causes pain and loss of
sleep. When you are over-heated, you have to stay
hydrated even if you hate drinking water. I hear
that just about every day, “Doc, I hate drinking
water or I know I should drink more water.” There
are many foods that you can start eating daily to
keep your system hydrated. Apples have an 86%
water content and tomatoes even more. Strawberries
also have a lot of water in them as well as
watermelon, cantaloupe, zucchini, celery, and
cucumbers. In Chinese medicine, we use the white
part of the watermelon rind and that really helps
to keep you hydrated and it is good in salads. I
also recommend peaches, plums, pears, and sweet
potatoes. Chronic dehydration may affect your
organs and result in kidney stones, cholesterol
problems, constipation, and liver problems as well
as joint and muscle damage.
If you are not aware of it, Qi Gong will balance
your yin and yang. Get a hold of the Flying Crane
Qi Gong program and start practicing today.

Your Roots are the Key to Your Practice
Your Roots are the Key to Your Practice
Father’s day was all about love,health and fun. I have returned to the land where I was reared. This is the land of the Chippewa and Ottawa Indians. You probably have heard of Chief Pontiac and, to my surprise, a tribe called the Miami Indians. Miami Indians are the Algonquin people, how interesting to me, now that I live in Miami. The Miami Indians believed that Manitous roamed the world and could take the form of humans and animals. The source of the Manitou’s power was known as the Kitchi Manitou, and was often equated with the sun, although the Kitchi Manitou was apparently not considered to be inanimate. From youth, women and, particularly, men were instructed to seclude themselves, fast, and try to contact a Manitou in a dream. Once contacted, a Manitou became the individual’s guardian spirit, giving the person power in return for respect and sacrifices. Feasts were given and public and private sacrifices of food or tobacco were made to gain power from or appease specific Manitous. The Shamans were considered to be closer to Manitous than ordinary people and could gain power from them either to heal or to kill. Shamans also participated in the Midewiwin and in unabashed displays of their strength: they would fight and kill each other using supernatural power to throw bones, shells, and other charmed objects into the adversary and then try to bring the dead back to life. As I walked through the woods amongst the huge oak trees, I found a clearing to practice my ritual Qi Gong. I dropped my energy and got in touch with my roots internally and feeling the physically energy, the power and strength of the forest, the lakes, and the energy of the native people. Want to tune in more to your roots and inner nature? Get tuned in. I have put together a downloadable Qi Gong bundle that you can get instantly. http://rechargingqigong.com/qigong-video-bundle.html I wish you the best in your Health, Wealth, and Happiness.

I believe that ancient tribal cultures
have important lessons to teach the

simple fact that our very existence is

Summer Solstice Self-Love
Summer Solstice Self-Love
It’s June 22nd and summer is here. The summer
solstice just happened, and the days are getting
longer. I am just returning to South Florida, and
it’s HOT and humid here. I guess I’ve forgotten
for a moment how hot a Florida summer can be. I
was in Michigan last week, and it was in the
mid-sixties, perfect for doing my Qi gong
practices. I visited my kids and went to a
beautiful summer day wedding in the park. The
reception was a fun picnic with music, dancing,
and the celebration of love and happiness to the
newlyweds and to everyone who was there.
Recently, one of my students came to me, and said,
I am no longer in love with my husband, and I
feel ashamed and guilty for not loving him
anymore. She asked me to tell her what love was
to me. I had to think about that, and I looked it
up on the Internet. Here is something that I
found.
For
example, we may care for our partner as long as we
feel that he or she makes us happy. When we no
longer feel our partner is able to give us
happiness, we find fault in him or her and lose
our caring mind. This mind that wishes for
happiness from others is called attachment, and
causes a lot of problems in our romantic and
personal relationships.
When our personality is dominated by desire, we
are never satisfied with what we have. She asked
me, What should I do now? I told her that she
first needed to love herself. Make a list of all
the things that you like about yourself: what
makes you happy, what makes you feel good about
yourself, the things you like about your physical
appearance, what have you accomplished in the last
ten years, what education you have, what are your
best qualities, how many friends do you have, how
many people love you, why do you think they love
you, what are you grateful for, what is funny to
you, what makes you laugh and smile, who are the
kind people you know, and who are your heroes.
All these questions will start to redirect the
mind back to balance and love of oneself.
Sometimes, we forget that if we want to be happy
and in love, we have to love ourselves first. If
you don’t love you, why would someone else love
you? I get up every morning and practice my Qi
gong and practice my meditation. Who do I do it
for? ME. It’s a form of self-love and gratefulness
for who I am and what I have.
Practice gratitude. You, yourself, and all you
have, and you will love yourself more and more. I
suggest you start with an easy-to-learn Qi gong,
The Flying Crane Qi Gong. It will change patterns
and habits, and this is a form of deep self-love.
