Forums IMPORTANT: PLEASE READ Spring Forest Qigong Sword Fingers, Selfhelp?

There is a blockage in my back. The left side of my spine is bothering me. It's in an area behind the heart. The pain get worse doing the arm movements. Stretching and massage won't help.
I don't want to get too far behind with my active exercises, so I think to use Sword Fingers.
Just by visualizing the blockage and pointing the fingers directly to the heart. I don't think that would be a good idea...
Small Universe and 7 steps of new life seem to by pass this part of the body.

Who has a better idea or advice, I'll appreciate it. Thanks & Merry Christmas.

Love, John

I would not be worried about sending energy past my heart, because I don't presume to understand how the qi actually works. If it was gamma or xray energy I would be concerned. However, I am asking the universe to the send energy here and I'm using a visualization to make the request more powerful.

I don't worry about harming my home when I do thunder palm or sword finger meditations, because the intent is the important part. The visualization is only supportive.

However, some other ideas I might personally try are: visualizing a sun around the blockage and ... whatever you want, or seeing myself before me and workin on myself from behind, or the one I would most probably do is call on Master Lin and visualize him behind me and working on me.

Remember to be thankful and confident the blockage is completely cleared.

You are perfection.

In the manual it says do not point sword fingers to the heart because the frequency of the energy does not agree with the heart's energy.

Having seen the impact of pointing sword fingers at machines I take that advise seriously.

Stop carrying your wallet in your back pocket would be my suggestion. Seriously consider it though because that with the wallet and Phone attached to our bodies like that we physically unbalance ourselves.

Without thinking we adjust our sitting down at the computer to accomodate the Phone and the wallet. It might sound like the wrong part of the body is experiencing the crick but sitting and walking off balance can affect us anywhere along the spine and limb.

When doing the active exercise notice more the smoke coming out of your body it might be darker in the back when you form the energy ball. Visualisation is good, remember to smile and confidently expect that you will be free of the problem.

Alex, could you be more explicit with the
machine example? Was it to disable the
machine or enable it or was it an accident?
What was the intent?

When I work on some part of myself, I run
my sword fingers back on myself and open the
spine; this crosses the heart area. Since my
intention is my spine and not my heart I
thought it would be okay, but I always
wonder.

Thanks,
Gianni

Imagine there that there is an image of you standing in front of you, with the back facing you. Do the sword fingers on the imaginary you at the appropriate place on the back with the intent that the energy will unblock the back. Energy follows intent. It works just as well as reaching behind you. The yang spirit in the heart doesn't like the yin energy of sword fingers, but Master Lin did specifically say that you can point to an area NEAR the heart and get away with it, as long as you hold the intent of clearing the blockage in that area, and avoid directing energy at the heart.

I was doing sword fingers on an injury and was distracted, pointed sword fingers at a machine with the image of getting a winning combination and immediately it did. I thought it was extrodinary so I tried it 5 more times each time getting exactly the combination

I was expecting each time. I stopped because my mother thought it was getting too freaky. I've played with it again from time to time to check it wasn't some sort of fluke. Nope there is real energy moving there and it really does follow the intent.

Alex,

That is a great example!

I have heard stories of people who have
used Reiki to get machines running again
or keep them running. So now SFQ can be
added to the list.

Thanks again,
Gianni

Thank you all. What a wonderfull responce. I'll be working on it. I just was a little cautious.
I know it wouldn't be quite that easy, but I gone do it! It's a challenge to me.

Love, John

Hello Qigongers,

Aha! This has given me an idea to try an experiment of doing sword fingers on my crashed hard disk with the intent of getting it working again.
Happy Qigonging.

P.S. Will there be a Feng Shui forum happening at some time?

P.P.S. How does Chi affect what is going or not going to happen to us in our everyday lives. How does it make good or not so good things happen to us?

Good luck with the hard disk. I found it keep my car running smoothly. And starting on a flat battery. Last March when my brother picked me up from the airport the car wouldn't start, flat battery. Well it's due for a replacement he said. "you bought it over 2 years ago, two years is a good life for a battery."

I've been starting my car no problem right into winter. People stated telling me the battery was flat I kept saying nah it will fire on 3, One two three, shaking a loose sword fingers at the steering column. After being told that I need to replace the battery 3 times in 2 weeks I thought better sooner than later. So I made the decision to go and buy a battery. Jump in the car and no way would it start. Called my brother solved his problem he need a driver for car. Tooke the old battery out and bought a new one.

Found out that I bought the battery in 1999 and it was putting out 1.5 volts (should be 12 volts) so How was I starting the car? :P Two month later I replaced alternator found out it wasn't charging the battery. Light on the dash indicated it wasn't working properly for about 18 months. My new battery was starting my car with 6 volts it had drained that much already. Starting the car wasn't the problem.
