Its guided meditation and visualization, combined with soothing sounds and music, will lead you into the harmonious state of mind and body you've been searching for.      According to traditional Chinese medicine (TCM), good health is the result of a free-flowing, well-balanced qi (energy) system, while sickness, pain or physical disorders are the result of qi blockage, or unbalanced energy in the body.  All TCM therapies, such as herbal medicine, acupuncture, massage and qigong, are based on this perspective. Medical qigong refers to those qigong methods used by medical practitioners with an emphasis on how to use vital energy (qi) to diagnose, control and prevent illnesses and diseases. Taiji Five-element Medical Qigong belongs to this tradition, and it includes the basic elements of medical qigong techniques that integrate your body posture, breathing and mind into "Oneness".  Most qigong practitioners credit qigong meditation with improving their daily lives in many ways, including: A more relaxed, harmonious state of mind and body A noticeable reduction in prior ailments and a reduction in feelings of stress An increased resistance to illness through a stronger immune system A heightened sensitivity to the body's internal organs along with an energetic ability to regulate one's own health and vitality. This beautifully packaged qigong set includes three cassette tapes and instruction booklet and a journal.   The brief contents of each meditation and instructions are as following:   1) Classic Meditation (36'20") --- This is classic Daoism meditation with the following key components: Preparation, regulate your body (relaxation), regulate your breathing (abdominal breath), regulate your mental state (tranquility); light up the furnace (warm up lower Dantian) with intention and breathing coordination, follow recorded instruction to absorb qi energy of the Moon and the Sun from the poles of skin at inhale, and send it to lower abdomen at exhale to gather qi. Gathering energy from five-elements planets: first, gathering green energy from Jupiter through your three eyes, and send it to your liver; then gathering red energy from Mars through your tongue and send it to your heart; gathering yellow energy from Saturn through your month or your skin, and send it to your spleen and stomach; gathering white energy from Venus through your nose, and send it to your lung, and then gathering purple energy from Mercury through your ears and send it to your kidneys.  Applying guided imagery to detoxify the body from inside; focus attention to lower Dantian to get into the oneness state --- relax completely without falling asleep (keep awareness up!), always do the closing at the end of meditation.   2) Purification 1 (31'55") --- This was part of Classic Meditation in the original Chinese version (60 minutes), and you are encouraged to do this immediately after Classic Meditation yo maximize the benefits. The purification procedure in this mediation applies guided imagery to walk toward a waterfall of sacred water and to clease your body outside and inside (Daiism called it bathing or visualized shower).  "The sacred water from the waterfall rushes into your brain through the opening in your head, forming a very strong whirlpool.  The rushing water starts to wash through the brain tissue.  The water washes away all the sediment clogging your brain tissue.  With the sediment gone, the blood circulates through your brain very smoothly.  The nerves in your brain are relaxed, and the brain cells are nourished.  The sacred water continues to flow inside your head.  It forms strong whirlpools to wash away sick cells in your nose, your eyes, your ears, your mouth and your throat, cleansing and washing away all sickness...." You will follow the instruction to cleanse your lung, heart, liver, stomach and spleen, kidney and reproductive organs, as well as the areas you feel unconfortable and with diseases.... Then you will learn how to integrate your breathing, mind and body into "Oneness" state before closing.   3)  Magnification (28'05") -- a powerful Daoism-formless standing meditation, designed to to unlock the blockages in your body, to magnify qi energy, and to help strengthen your body, your immune system, and increase your ability to recover from illness.  It is most effective when done in conjunction with the Classic Meditation (see below). You should carry out this meditation while standing, with your feet shoulder-width apart, and your knees slightly bent. Hold your arms out in front of you with your palms facing your body.  Your arms, hands, and fingers should form a circle.  Pretend you are wrapping them around a large balloon.....  Lightly close your eyes.  Breathe naturally.  Let your entire body relax.  Visualize a large balloon or energy ball spinning between your arms.  It begins to spin in a clockwise direction.  It is spinning faster and faster.  In your mind, watch the balloon spinning between your arms.  Let the balloon spin as fast as possible.  Imagine the balloon is so light that it can lift your arms up. ....  If you body feels like to move, let it come, and follow the qi flowing, since you body is actually responding to the qi energy around and within. Spontaneous movement is great results of such  standing meditation.  It was said Taiji Quan was originated from this type of standing meditation.  So do not feel strange if you started doing Taiji-like movements during this standing meditation.... which will help you quickly breaking the qi-bloackage in your body, and you will feel great relief after the spondaneous movement.  However, if your body is still moving at the end of the tape, don't do the closing procedure, let the body flow until it stops itself. (Then you can do the closing).   4) Purification 2 (31'55") -- This meditation is designed to purify your body and get rid of toxic matters including drug residuals and tumors.  It is best suitable for those who are bedridden or who have difficulty getting up. You should practice Purification 1 only after first practicing Classic Meditation (see blow).  You can stand, sit or lie down for this meditation.  If you choose to stand, let your hands hang loosely at your sides.  If you sit, place your hands on your thighs with palms facing down.  If you lie down, let your hands rest at your sides and palms face down.  This meditation can be carried out anytime, anywhere, provided you are able to disregard everything around you and remain uninterrupted for a period of at least 30 minutes.   As the purification mediation is so strong, you should not practice more than once a day even though you feel need more detoxification.  The guided imagery and visualization designed for purifying the body may also get ride of some good energy.  Therefore, make sure you will do at least one or two times of Classic Meditation on the day you practiced Purification 1.   5) Instruction (14") --- Introduction to qigong in general, and Taiji Five-element Qigong in specific. What they are, and when is the best time to practice.
