For the longest time we didn't think someone could learn PhotoReading from a home study course. We assembled a team led by Paul Scheele to completely redesign how we taught PhotoReading from the ground up and in 18 months figured out how to teach PhotoReading with audio tapes. That was five years and tens of thousands of satisfied PhotoReaders ago.
When we began working with Chunyi Lin in 1997 we did not know whether it was posssible. We had two major things going for us: 1) we had incredible expertise in learning to learn, and 2) Chunyi had taught over 5,000 people Qigong in his workshops.
Chunyi learned that years of practice was not necessary to remove energy blockages from the body and balance energy in the body.
He also learned that he could teach anyone how to give energy to other people in two minutes.
He says one of the reasons Masters have said that in the past is control. Another is because the Masters, themselves, do not truly understand how energy moves through the body. Another is they want students. Another is to keep Qigong cloaked in mystery.
That said, mastery takes time; proficiency doesn't.
In the last year more than 3,600 people ordered the Spring Forest Qigong course. Returns under the 6-month satisfaction guarantee have been less than 3%. The feedback has been very positive.
What's the best way to learn Spring Forest Qigong? Do both the personal learning course and the workshop. The problem is being able to get into the workshop--if you can do it. There are not very many workshops and they are often taught over several weeks. He does only a couple weekend retreats a year and they fill up right away. The experience with Chunyi is worth the expense.
Level 1 is everything you need to know and do to heal yourself. Level 2 is about giving healing to another person. Level 3 is group healing, long distance healing, and more healing with another person. We hope to have these available in the next two years.
For Levels 4 and beyond you will have to study with Master Lin.
When you get the course, feel free to ask any questions here.
I am not a medical doctor, so I cannot give medical advice, but I will do what I can to help you understand the practice of Spring Forest Qigong.
By the way, I just finished a 30-minute Sitting Meditation and am drinking a cup of Yin-Yang water. It is wholly part of my life.
