Have you seen the "Your Healing Power" DVD that LSC has put out - how does it compare to what is shown on that video? Just curious.... thanks again.

Aloha Dave,

The Your Healing Power DVD was put together to be supplimental to those with the Level I & II homes tudy course, as well as useful for those looking into Spring Forest Qigong. It offers a peek into a retreat to provide some information and insight to new and old students alike.

As Nickie and Jeffdenger have noted, being in the group with Master Lin and doing the work for 6 days is why it is so impactful and why a quarter of the participants returned from last year, and another 125 are signed up to return next year.

There are also all those special things that people come to expect from our retreats, as well as special topics by Chunyi. There were two exercises for wieght loss we did during our mini-breaks that he's only mentioned to an advance student. Another presentation later in the week, he'd previously done just once 10 years ago at a Level IV retreat. Ying Zhang, the woodwinds performer and director from the Level I & II meditation CD (Inner Beauty & Back To the Universe), even performed for dinner one evening!

Of course you get to meet familiar faces from the Forum (Gallen was a Teaching Assistant at the first one, that aloha-shirted Jeffdengr was back for a second time this year, Nickie brought her golden smile again this year, etc.), and meet new friends to share and support you in your work. There are "healing buddies" from the first retreat that still meet weekly over the phone, Skype, or email to work on each other or friends in need.

It's truely a wonderful experience at many different levels (even when one is moving in the background, "silently as a Ninja Shadow supporting the Noh Theater."

Maybe we'll see you there next year,

Shawn
