Dear MB,
Have your husband try the "finger length" exercise first - definitely "well, I'll
be"...just to get him there with the whole concept.
His medical diagnosis and lack of resolution with his edema etc. must be depressing for him anyway and his lack of energy is consistent with his medical diagnosis.
He doesn't have anything to lose by trying QiGong and a great deal to gain.
When I started, my pain level was 8/10 and in a week it was 2/10. If I fall behind in my practice I can certainly tell physically.
There are so many things in this world and universe where we cannot see cause and effect. My first healing was when a large deer came by my window and had obviously been injured (an old injury)to the point where he had to lie down about 15 feet away. I sent him energy and after a couple of minutes he started scratching the injured area, he rested a little and the got up and walked away, with much less limping. I stayed and cried....
I tell you this as I was an ICU and trauma nurse for many years before becoming ill, so am also trained for "cause and effect". Perhaps it would help your husband to look at the accomplishments of Chinese medicine over the past millenia.
My Qigong practice is the most uplifting and beneficial thing I have done in the past seven years of illness.
This is my first post and I hope something will be helpful to you. Have faith in yourself and remember that love and forgiveness and compassion should be directed upon yourself.....
With Love,
Barbara
