The Power and Magic of your Birthday

Sunday, December 12th, 2010
Share

Rituals are one of the foundations of Spiritual work
and the basis of all the internal arts.
This is the reason I always encourage you to PRACTICE,
to build a strong foundation and to embody the practices.
It could be the Recharging Qi Gong practice,
Flying Crane Qi Gong or any of the internal practices
that I teach in the Turn Stress into Power program or
any other discipline you choose.

The key is the ritual of practice.

In 2007 a group of Qi Gong and meditation students
came to my office and made a formally requests
of me.
They asked if I would take them on as students.

The Master’s that I have studied with over the years
have taught me that whenever a student formally asks
for the teaching it is a karmic obligation of the teacher
to give it to them, if they qualify.

Since that time the group has grown and requests have come
in from all over the world.
Thanks to modern technology I produce a DVD every month
for the group on practices and ritual work.

“If one truly wants to grow the ritual of practice must be a
way of life.”
-Dr Wu

I am on my way to the Desert for my Solar Return.
You may be asking yourself, what the heck is a
Solar Return?

First, Let me explain the importance of this practice, it ‘s
called by astrologers “The Solar Return” the day of your
birthday.
Most of us know the usual ritual. Ice cream and cake,
a drink with friends and maybe a few presents and It’s
a party “ Happy Birthday!”
But there is some real magic that can happen on that
special day once you learn the rituals of the
“Solar Return.”

A Solar return is when the Sun returns to the exact
degree and minute it occupied when you were born.

Basically astrologers use the Return as a way to
forecast the upcoming year.

Personally I don’t use astrology as an everything
forecaster,but it is a handy map to look at now and again,
to give you the best places to be and to know when
to travel,plan special events and avoid possible
bad situations.

Traveling on your Solar Return is a special ritual to
travel to a specific location that maximizes the
positive and reduces the negative factors of your
coming year.

I first heard about “Solar Return Travel” back in the
early Seventies.
Since then I make my birthday a magical day of
traveling to incredible places in the world.

Traveling for one day doesn’t work for most of us,
But when you turn the travel into a spiritual ritual
it has a lot of merit and will empower your entire
year.

“Take charge of your life! and receive the support
of the stars.
Travel on your birthday to the best destination,
location to energize
a positive focus for your current year’s “Solar Return”.
Empower your intentions, your goals, and your desires
for the year unfolding.”

That being said you are going to need to do something
with this election other than simply showing up!

I’ll spend some of the time to creature a special a
talismans, some would call it a good luck charm, created
at a particular moment that will capture the energy and
power of that moment and preserve it.
My day will be spent in setting goals, meditations and
intensive Qi Gong practices.

I wish you the Best in your Health, Wealth and happiness.

PS I’ll be sure to have a piece of cake and a drink too.

Don’t Lose your Pie in the snow

fallen pie

I was talking to my cousin Susie today.
She told me that she made two pies and brought
them to friend’s houses for Christmas.
Suzy, “I didn’t know you inherited that pie maken
gene from Grandma”.

I told her about a story that I heard years ago from
my Dad about pies.
It was back in the time of the great depression.
My grandmother was a great cook and an even better baker
she made everything. Home made noodles from scratch, cakes,
cookies and everyone loved her pies,they were the very best,
lemon,cherry,blueberry, pumpkin and apple you name it
Grandma made it.

The family lived in Michigan and one cold, snowy, winter
day just around this time of the year my Grandma made a
few of her famous pies and placed them on the windowsill
to cool.

As fait would have it, one flipped over and landed in the
new fallen snow.

What a Bummer!

In our lives there is so much we see spill, tip over, or break
and some of us see only the lost pie in the snow.

I had a patient call me and say.” I am going into the hospital
to treat my depression. It’s really bad.  Saw a shrink and he’s
throwing pills at me – but they’re not doing anything and he’s
a fortune. I have to go somewhere that can remedy this.
I feel that I am being stuck in the same place without the
tools to dig my way out.” I am not sure I can hang on.
I am really feeling hopeless.

Well I know from experience that our lives are a series of
lessons to be learn. If we get up-set, bent-out-of-shape and
it effects our health in all three bodies physically, mental
and spiritual.

If the lesson isn’t learned, most likely we’ll have to repeat
it over and over again, until we learn it.
When it feels like a “crisis of death”, it is most likely akin
to a “crisis in birth.”

There are always ways to dig your pie out of the snow.
All it takes is the right coaching and education.

My dad and both of my uncles ran out side with spoons
in hand and didn’t let a bit go to waste.

I wish you the Best in your Health, Wealth and Happiness

HAPPY NEW YEAR!

Why Practice?

Jerold wrote  and asked me to explain to him what he can
expect from doing Qi Gong and internal exercises.
He said he did a weekend workshop and thought it was all some
Big Hype.
He said he felt that the instructor was more filled with himself and had no real Qi.

Jerold, some Qi Gong masters and teachers have the real goods and others have a good
intensions.
I don’t judge them but it takes more than a weekend to get the goods.

“Keep on Practicing”

There two keys

1. The teaching

2. Is the practice

If you don’t do both, It ‘s like a bird who only has one wing. It doesn’t fly half the distance, he will just flop along the ground. You need both wings to fly.

I have been practicing for more than 30 years.
When I first learned Qi Gong, most of my friends and fellow students never really took
notice of of the practice.
The hard core Martial Arts people thought it was BS.

They looked at me like I was crazy – practicing so many hours a day and not showing any
outwardly visible skills.

Were they wrong.

I have no health problems, I look at least 10 to 15  years younger than my peers and I take no medicine.

Why? The key is the practice.

Every time I run into an old Martial arts person all they talk about is how much pain
they are in, their knee injuries, shoulder injuries and how beat up their hands
and feet are from breaking boards and bricks.

They really didn’t really get what internal exercises would have given them.
Twelve  important benifits for your health and longivity  that you can acheive  by practicing
The Recharging Qi Gong exercises.

1. Helps dissolve stress naturally

2. Calms high blood pressure without drugs as it balances cardiovascular system.
Also it will normalized blood pressure, and lower bad cholesterol levels.

3. Promotes health and longevity. Your vital capacity, hormone levels, kidney function,
mental acuity, vision and hearing, skin elasticity, bone density, immune function,
digestion, and libido will perk up.

4. It releives chronic pain, people report significant pain reduction from all causes, including injury,
surgery, arthritis, fibromyalgia.

5. Improved flexibility, strength, musculoskeletal development, great posture,
balance, and stamina.

6. Slimming effect on body and spinal toning

7. Promotes relaxing as it calms the body and mind

8. Clears out mental troubles as it balances the mind

9. Encourage a better respiratory rate, improves gaseous exchange, significant benefits
for asthma & bronchitis

10. Circulation improves, micro-circulation, prevents vascular spasms, very helpful for
angina, migraine, and Reynaud’s Syndrome (cold hands & feet)

11. Builds a strong Immune System, with a significant
anti-cancer effect

12. Brain improves cerebral blood flow, less incidence of stroke; reduction in frequency
and intensity of seizure disorders; slow, high amplitude brainwaves suggest relaxed
and integrated state of consciousness.
These are just a few of the health benefits, if you build in the habit of regular practice.
There are also many major benefits in energy,meditation practices  and the Payback

you’ll get in the  Martial  practices are too awesome to talk about at this time.

Don’t Get Bit by The White Tiger

White tiger dance in China

White tiger dance in China

Gung Hei Fat Choi!

Happy Chinese New Year!

This is the beginning of the year of the metal Tiger.
Metal is one of the five Taoist elements.
It’s the white Tiger year and it’s Valentine’s Day.

Sweet!

The Tigers in Chinese medicine is the animal ruling
the metal element, the organs are the lungs and the
large intestines, and the color is pure white.
People born under the sign of the Tiger have
personalities that are associated with creativity,
doing lots of projects, loving children and are
protected by the Archangel Michael.

It’s said that people born under the sign of
the tiger unusually makes people feel at home
and are good protector, have qualities of royalty,
wealth, inspiration, and are fearless.
They bring good luck to people and they have bounds
of sexual energy, with a large sexual appetite.
But be careful as they are very territorial and
will bit if you mess with their mate.
A Tiger demands a lot of attention from a partner,
but when given enough love and support can turn into
a gentle pussy cat. They are winners; their model is
“I will finish first”.

The people I know that are tigers have great strength
are extremely smart, and straightforward.
If you were born in 1914, 1926, 1938, 1950, 1962,
1974, 1986, 1998 or 2010 you’re a tiger
and one of the most compassionate and kind signs
in the Chinese zodiac.
According to tradition a tiger year is associated
with massive change, so get ready.
Flexibility is the Key here.
This year we can look forward to a dynamic year of
sudden opportunities and bold actions.
Expect massive social change, political rebellion,
and military coups all over the world.

It’s the perfect time to detoxify your lungs and
large intestine. Do your breathing exercises every
morning and stay away from junk food.
Eat organic as much as possible and drink lots of
clean fresh water.

I am doing more of the percussive breathing
and the internal stomach lifts.
In fact I am going to make a short video and put
it on “You Tube” so you can see what I am talking
about.
http://www.youtube.com/drwudhi
But if you want the real goods, pounce like a Tiger on
this great opportunity and become a member of the
Qi Gong Inner Circle. Make it I gift to yourself
in celebration of the Tiger Year
 www.Qigonginnercircle.com .
For a limited time It’s still only a $1 to join
and if you don’t dig it, nothing lost.
Join today and you’ll be on the conference call
tomorrow night with the members.

I usually only share the Top Secret info with the members,
but today is Chinese New Year, so here’s a bit of inside
info.
According to legend,sacred tigers live 1000 years.
Half way through life at age 500, they turn pure white.
Tigers scare off thieves, and ghosts.
The Fearless Tiger is a powerful totem animal to
contact in the shamanic realm to assist in
banishments and purifications.
Tiger magic is luckiest for those born in Tiger,
 Horse, Dog, and Pig years. Only the clever Monkey
is not compatible with the ways of the Tiger.

I have big plans tonight to welcome in the year of the
White Tiger with meditations and ritual foods.
I’ll share more on the call tomorrow night at 8:00 EST
only with the members.

 bone marrow production, temperature regulation, the
function of brain and spinal cord, controls the strength

problems, decreased sexual drive, brittle bones,
teeth problems, sore back and knees, frequent pale
urination, incontinence, high blood pressure, low
sperm count, infertility, hypothyroidism, asthma,
impotence, difficult bowel movements. 
You can see why the kidneys are so important to keep strong.
One of the keys to longevity is to keep the kidneys strong.
 
I have been telling you about Shou Wu Chih in my blog.
You know the Chinese tonic to keep your kidneys warm.

(Look at November 19th, 2009
 “Keeping the Kidneys warm all winter”

1 pieces of dried ginger
2 or 3 pieces of garlic
½ package of the thin ginseng root
(they look like thick twigs and come
with a string around them)

Seasonings:
2 tsp sea salt

Directions:
1. Wash and clean the black chicken
( I soak the chicken in salt water

My entire body is warm. I Train Hard and I am Chocked
 full of energy.

Six Day Ritual

Friday, September 11th, 2009
Share

Although it seemed like just yesterday, it was
about 20 years ago when I was living on a small
island in the middle of the South Pacific.
Maui.
Every Autumn, the Asian community observed
a six-day celebration the Higan-e.

For three days before and three days after the
Equinox, the Six day ritual is used to recognize
the six perfections
• Generosity
• Observance of the Precepts
• Perseverance
• Effort
• Meditation
• Wisdom

There is a saying in the Orient that,
a person needs all six before he
goes from this shore of Samsara
(The endless cycle of suffering caused
by birth death)
and re-birth to the further shore or Nirvana.
(The transcendent state free from suffering
and individual phenomenal existence),
the literal meaning is ‘other shore.’

The ritual includes repentance of past sins
and prayers for enlightenment in the next life.
The Performance of positive deeds, which are superior
to those practiced at any other time and
making offerings to ancestors. These good deeds
become a great blessing enabling us to reach
“the other shore.”

The Autumnal Equinoxes,
are the most temperate times of the year.
Ideal for reflecting on the meaning
of life.

Ancestral practices aren’t part
of Western Culture, but
when trying to shift directions
in my life and things seem impossible
to accomplish, I focus my meditation on
my ancestors and call on them for help
and guidance, to put me on the right path.

Autumn begins on September 22, 2009 @
21:34 GMT when the day and night are equal
in length.

In the Chinese system it symbolizes the element of
metal and represents the lungs,
large intestine and the skin.

Emotionally speaking, this phase is about letting
go of grief, sadness, old attachments and
emotional baggage.

On the positive side the metal element brings
in Valor, Courage and Moving Forward in ones life.

That’s exactly what I am focusing on.
I have some new and exciting products to
introduce that you’ll be able to get this fall.

•#1. “Crane Style Qi Gong” DVD.
A Qi Gong style I have been practicing for over 25
years. It builds your immune system and keeps you

package consists of manuals with exercises,
meditations and formulas to
Turn Stress into Power. It comes with
a DVD showing you how to do all the exercises

•#3. The book that my students and patients
have been asking me for years.

Five seasons, how to prepare the power foods,

Alert Stillness

Saturday, December 22nd, 2007
Share

Last night I came home after sundown and the whole house was completely dark. Instead of turning on the lights I lit a candle. I never do this sort of thing but the house seemed so quiet and peaceful I wanted to just sit.

I spent the majority of the night in contemplative meditation.

We are in the Winter Solstice and it is an excellent time to take time to be quiet and reflect on the past year.

I recommend doing this for yourself as a matter of personal care.

With all the crazy energy around the holidays and year-end you want to make sure that you cool-out and recollect yourself before you burn-out.

Once you do I think you will find that the rush of the holidays and year-end quiets down and you can refocus on those things that are most important.

In Chinese medicine Winter is associated with the element Water.

Water energy has the attributes of:

  • Cold
  • Damp
  • Quiet
  • Stillness
  • Calmness
  • Smoothness
  • Listening
  • The Kidney organ and meridian

This energy is available in the atmosphere throughout the winter. Just slow down, sit quietly in a natural place and pull in the atmosphere.

Winter Water energy is also associated with a special type of Awareness that, from Chinese to English, best translates as Alert Stillness.

In the Chinese Medicine system we use animal associations to signify these types of energy, and as such, the animal for the water element and organ of the Kidney is the Deer.

250px-Red_deer.jpg

The Deer is chosen because it is a master of Alert Stillness.

When you think of a deer you think of an animal that is impossible to sneak up on. The slightest snap of a twig and the thing has disappeared.

This is not the same type of power of a Tiger or a Dragon but it is a type of power that completes us.

In the Ba Gua system of Martial Arts it takes a whole circle of animals to become a Master.

We cannot always Push, Push, Push, sometimes we need to sit, take inventory, and listen to the atmosphere. This is the power in the symbol of the deer and that is the power of this time of year.

So take advantage of this time of solstice when this energy is most powerful and abundant, you will not be able to tap into this energy so easily in other seasons.

Winter, not just the New Year, is the best time to set new plans and goals into action.

Take inventory of what is happening around you.

Upon deep consideration you may see more then before.

Clarity is not achieved when you are rushing or being hasty.

Opening is found in reflection.

Wishing you the best in Health, Wealth and Happiness,

Dr. Wu Dhi

This is Fun?

Saturday, October 27th, 2007
Share

When I was a small boy growing up in Detroit my father would come home every day and entertain my brother and me before doing anything else.

We would beg him to stand on his head and my father would always do as we asked.

He loved to stand on his head like a yogi right in the middle of the living room.

Every time he did this coins would fall from his pockets.

My brother and I would scurry around and grab as much loose change as we could while my father pretended to protest from his inverted position.

In truth it was as much fun for him as it was for us.

My father was the youngest of a family of eight and being the baby of that family was always cared for by his siblings even into adulthood.

Life for him was about play and having fun.

My father successfully passed this view of life on to me and my brother.

Even when we would go with him to work at the pawn shop downtown we had fun, maybe even the most fun of all.

The word work and the drudgery that goes along with it never made any sense to me or my brother because of this.

People hate to work but they use this word for stuff that isn’t even work. And did you ever notice  that everywhere it does get used people are really serious.

Serious people in the gym are Working Out.
For serious training you go to a Workshop.
When your serious about beauty you call it a Work of art.
If your serious about your Work they say you have Work ethic.
Some even practice Spiritual Work.

I’ve done my best to work and be serious over the years, I really have, but most of the time I can’t help but consider how much fun I’m having.

If I’m not having fun or moving to a higher level of “fun” in the sense of being able to share with others, help others or overcome some adversity, I ain’t interested.

What I’ve learned is that you can’t other peoples work away from them but you can often make it fun.

Sometimes it’s just a matter of reminding ourselves that we’re having fun.

Try it.

The are many situations that are supposed to be fun that we often add tension to and they instantly become serious situations or work.

At these times simply say aloud “This is fun”.

You’ll either break the tension in the room or you’ll actually change the orientation of yourself and others from one of seriousness to one of fun.

If you saw me doing Recharging Qi Gong with my students on the beach I doubt you’d say that looks like a lot of work. It’s actually a lot of fun and it looks like fun too.

Big smiles on everyones face and some occasional laughter is normal.

This is not your usual “Workout” and so far it’s been producing unusual results in those that have gotten the program http://rechargingqigong.com and started to use it.

If you want more vitality and pep in your step I encourage you to make a change.

Go to http://rechargingqigong.com and find out how you can use these simple and gentle movements every day to pump up you Qi power and invigorate your innards.

Wishing you Health, Wealth and Happiness,

Dr. Wu Dhi
