One last word on the subject. Membership in the guild is enormously helpful in your practice, even if you are unable to physically attend the meetings. The notes give information to help you make Spring Forest Qigong a lifestyle rather than just some exercises that you do. I print out the notes and put them in a 3 ring binder for reference anytime. The healing sessions are great too. During the last one I sprinkled some of the water on our pomeranian, "Scooter". He loved Chunyi's energy and made "happy sounds" through the whole session. He had been having problems with the knee in a back leg coming out of joint. After the healing, no further problem.
