Fine article.

Just a thought. Perhaps the extreme bending described of the practitioner touching his head to the floor could be explained by this sort of chi kung relegating the chi/intent to the sub(super?)-conscious mind.
People have been known (and I have witnessed) to perform actions under hypnosis that they were not capable under normal circumstances.
As chi kung state of mind is a form of mild self-hypnosis, maybe a deeper state could be the reason for the extreme movements ?

This form of chi kung has been a most pleasant and satisfying experience since I discovered it in Wong Kiew Kit’s books, where he calls it Self-induced Chi flow.
The method is the same, and the results are a great calm and joy over the most mundane things around me.
To “cool down”, all that I require is to gently command myself to stop, not suddenly or rigidly, but gradually bringing the movements under more and more concious control.

Thank you for the site, much love to you all.

There is an important part of this spontaneous qigong that doesn’t seem to be emphasized enough: The Shaking Medicine or as science calls it neurogenic therapeutic tremouring.

I’ve been practicing Zifa Gong for several years now pretty much daily.

It has certainly impacted and positively changed my life so much that I decided to teach this under the name of E-motion Yoga, as this works on our emotional body. I now teach this full time having taught about a thousand+ people.

I’m a doctor of quantum physics and my teachers are Dr. of Chinese Medicine Johnathon Dao and Master Mantak Chia.

We’ve bought E-motion Yoga online so that anyone anywhere may start to benefit. We teach how to get your entire body experiencing Zifa Gong Safely and effectively.

I have been initiated to this spontaneous qigong in l999. Initially I was very consistent but later due to work schedules I was not practicing as much as I had been. But even that, I remember twice when I fell down, (well, first time: a snatch-thief came and ripped off my handbag and so I fell; second time: I overlooked a door-latch and tripped over) I found myself falling flat on my stomach with my limbs out-stretched and head up. At my stomach area, I felt like there was a ball or cushion that propped me up! And so the impact from the floor due to my fall was not hard at my stomach. But my elbows and knees did have scratches.
After my second fall, I told myself I must be real serious with my practice. Yes, I have been searching for theory to understand this art, but not much was available since I cannot read Chinese. But I had never given up searching. I am glad I bumped into your site. Thank you very much for affirming me.

Also, since I have been practicing seriously for the past 5 years, I noticed my skeletal column is getting straighten up bit by bit, my blood flow has improved – my palms and fingers are warmer and softer now. Yes, many, many, many improvement health-wise.

Dear Sifu’s ,
I am also a serious practitioner since Year 2000!
I also do have initiated some students in the past in Singapore.
It’s one of the most powerful exercises for health purposes and the other side benefit is self protection.
I encourage all to get into it whenever possible.
Best Wishes and keep up the good work and may all be blessed by this most potent power and living spirit in us.

Thank you so much for this information. I was practicing normal Qigong for 6 months daily and after that I started feeling automatic movements of my body by itself, I let them be.
However, I was curious to know what it was. I’m glad I’ve found information about this phenomenon that clarified my understanding.

I was wondering what a cool down practice would look like in your opinion?

I have a method but it would be good to hear whats actually being teached. Normally whats worked in the past is gently telling my body the practice will end soon and keep focusing on that intention until i feel my body has gotton the message, making sure i remain in a relaxed state as i do it. This is sometimes harder to do if you find yourself lying down or some weird posture thats when i find intention is key.

Weber,

No, those are false rumors.

To avoid any potential negative side effects, you should always cool down at the end of your practice of Qigong.
