I hope someone can help with a major problem for me. I like the idea of the energy transforming health problems into smoke and then sending the transformed energy far away into the universe. But I have several problems for which this doesn't seem appropriate. That is, unless there is another way of thinking about this.

1. My health problems that don't seem appropriate for changing into smoke:
a. Hernias - how can you change a hernia into smoke?
b. Atrophied muscle. You don't want the muscle to change into smoke. How can you change something lacking normal form into smoke?
c. Osteoporosis. Bone becomes incomplete with missing bone tissue. You don't want to change the remaining bone into smoke. How can you change this into smoke?

2. If it is not possible to change these health problems into smoke, what is your advice on dealing with these using Spring Forest Qigong?

3. Do you know of anyone who has healed a hernia of any sort? Unless you know of someone who has been healed of a hernia, Spring Forest Qigong may not be appropriate for this.

Thanks for any help you can give.
