THE CHI KUNG BIBLE:  MASTERING PERSONAL POWER by Gary J. Clyman

CHANGING YOUR WORLD

When you practice Chi Kung, it takes you from being "ordinary" to becom-
ing "other than ordinary."  You just won't be the same.  It could show 
up in almost any combination... being more motivated, more solid, etc.  

Whatever and however you decide you want to be.  Most people don't 
make decisions concerning what they want, so what do they get?  
Whatever falls in their path.  This is not the most predictable way to live 
your life.  This is equivalent to eating out of garbage cans, or having the 
waitress in the restaurant bring you what she decided to bring you.  

You wouldn't let the waitress make your decisions for what to eat, 
then why let fate make even more important decisions for you.  Sorry 
Charlie.  When you start to practice Chi Kung, you begin to make 
decisions.  That's why relationships and marriages change.  That's why 
many of my clients change their professions.  That's why if you decide you 
want to move to a different city, you just make the decision and do it.   

These kinds of changes are what practicing Chi Kung with me is all about. 

MISERY AND TROUBLE:  A WAY OF LIFE

As I have said before, many people come to me who look like their lives 
are working, but they know deep down inside that they are miserable 
and in trouble.  The level of misery and trouble they exist in depends 
on how carelessly they have structured their lives.  Many successful 
people appear to have it together when in reality, they've just been 
"lucky" or they really have no reason how they got to where they are.  

When these successful people come to work with me, they can under-
stand the "true nature of success" and can literally multiply their 
successes, not effortlessly, but much easier than without my help. 

RESTRUCTURING AND REBUILDING

A process I call "Restructuring and Rebuilding" is when I work with 
clients to help them figure out what they're supposed to do with their 
lives, whether it's "the right thing" or whether it's just something.  

Whether it's "big perfect," whether it's "little perfect."  What they're 
supposed to do in their marriage, their business, how they're supposed 
to treat themselves, or how the different levels of self-esteem, self-
confidence and self-discipline fit into the pattern that they've been 
living and how they want to change it.   This is called "Restructuring 
and Rebuilding." 

REORGANIZING YOUR LIFE

You start by making lists of various things.  The first list should be 
"things that you do not want to do."

Now, "do not want to do" can be applied to relationship, pro-
fession, or any other aspect of your daily life.  After you've created 
the lists and decided "what you don't want to do," "things you do 
want to do" will be more in the light.  You will have many ideas.  

By the time you finish "your disqualification list," you will have some 
ideas of what you do want.  I also suggest that you make a list of 
aspects that you want if you're concerned about having "the right relation-
ship."  Outline exactly the traits that you want in your mate, spouse, boyfriend, 
girlfriend, and as a couple, etc.  When this is being done, an important part 
to understand is that you probably won't get everything on your list, but 
if you get 70% you'll be happily satisfied.  Many people think, they in fact 
will get "the perfect mate."  I disagree with this.  The reason I disagree 
with this is, if you are not the best you can be, how can you expect to 
get anything better than yourself?  The limitations that you'll get in your 
partner can be based in your own personal limitations. 

CHOOSING YOUR NEW TRAITS CAREFULLY

I discovered in myself and while working with my clients, that most 
people never made any decisions about who and how they wanted to be.  
I call this "who do you want to be when you grow up?"  I think it takes 
place around 18-21 years of age.  But I find a lot of people that skipped 
this step in their maturation cycle.  They never did this.  This is referring 
back to what my athlete friend told me.  The true questions are, "what 
traits do you want to represent you, what's important to you, or pick 3 
things that are important to you."  Most people never have.  Many people 
have an idea of how to act, but rarely does anybody follow through on 
those ideas.  

Using Chi Kung helps you "follow through" with what you know you're  
supposed to do.

LIFE AS AN EXPERIMENT

What happens when people learn this system is that they use their current 
environment as an experiment so that when they go to a new environment, 
they already carry their new traits with them, as opposed to trying to 
work them out everywhere they go, all the time.  Now, you work them out 
now, and they're yours next time around. 

YOUR SOUL AND YOU

There are certain phases that the soul goes through.  This is contrary to 
what some organized religions teach and might be similar to some non-
traditional ones.  I am not concerned with finding agreement.  I feel that if 
you have "strong WILL," you can control your own fate and destiny.  Most  
people can't control their own minds, let alone their own fate and destiny. 

I made a decision many years ago that I was going to do so much in this 
life time, that I would not have to come back again.  So can you.  If I can 
help 1,000 people in "a big way," then those people will effect possibly 
10,000 other people that I will probably never get a chance to meet. 

WE ARE LIKE TUNING FORKS

When you are learning from me, whether privately or in a group, my 
vibration is what changes you, not Chi Kung, not your personal practice, 
because some of my clients don't practice faithfully.  If I vibrate at 1,000 
per second and you vibrate at 200 vibrations per second, my velocity 
increases yours automatically.  So if you just sit in the presence of this 
vibration and argue with me for an hour a week, that's what helps to 
create your desired changes.  It is my spirit helping your spirit.  It's like a  
spiritual transfusion. 

The way I work with people is by causing them irritation on purpose and 
out of that irritation comes a reaction and a response mechanism that 
actually gives you the ability to respond in a live situation.  Responding in 
your sessions with me is not really a live situation, because if I want you 
to be quiet, I'll tell you to be quiet and you'll be quiet.  But if you're 
responding out in the world, at work, in a relationship, or anywhere else, 
they're not going to say "be quiet" and you'll do it.  So, in working with me, 
you get to exercise and learn to use the tools that are necessary to "create 
your world the way you want it." 

I have met a few people in the last 20 years that have experienced things 
like this and they had been thought to be crazy, to be out of control, to be 
having psychic experiences.  However, because of my constitution derived 
and developed from my Tai Chi and Chi Kung practice, when these 
experiences happen to and around me, I understand them and I can 
assimilate these experiences and put them to work, using them for the 
betterment of humanity.  When I say "humanity," I mean my clients, one 
person at a time.  That is another reason why I can help people in such a 
short period of time.  So, where do I go from here with this?  Well that's 
pretty much up to you, not up to me. 

Many people that read this and understand what I'm talking about will see 
the importance and how they can use these abilities in their own lives, to 
help them be healthy, happy, prosperous and make a difference in their 
lives.  In the old days (pre-1985), when this healing ability that came 
through me, I was using it to help people with very serious, I won't say 
diseases, but we'll say health problems, or conditions.  I was able to help 
people walk that hadn't been able to walk for many years.  I was able to 
help joints work that have been turned off through stroke or turned off 
through "willed disabilities."  

This relates to the old Apache medicine man I treated in 1979.  I worked 
with him for 2-1/2 weeks.  He had been paralyzed for over a month due 
to a stroke and in 2-1/2 weeks, I had him walking on his own, using a 
cane, but free. 

The traditional western doctors in Arizona had given up on this man 
and I was hired over the telephone and I went to "fix him."  They 
hired a Jew doing Chinese medicine on an Apache medicine man, if you 
can understand the strangeness of this whole situation, and it worked 
nevertheless.  This experience is labeled in the book, "medicine man 
meets medicine man" and His true.  

But now in the 1990's, what and how can you benefit from this "intuitive 
truth" that works through me?  Remember, I'm not saying I channel like 
other people with lesser constitutions, I'm not saying a spirit entered 
me and talks through me which is so common nowadays.  I am saying 
"the spirit is me," lives in me, works through me, to help people around 
me that are attracted to this. 

Most people don't even know what they're coming to me for in the 
beginning of our relationship.  They just have a feeling and experience a 
bonding that I can help them.  They don't really know how or why.  It 
takes a few weeks of working with me before this intention is discovered 
and refined.  I am here for you, to give you service.  That's the important 
underlying factor.

REINCARNATION... WHO KNOWS?

There exists in some ancient writings a very strange process.  In modern 
times, in the New Age Movement, a lot of talk about this process has been 
dramatized.  The original dramatization of this principle I saw many years 
ago in "The Reincarnation of Peter Proud," which seemed to be a movie 
that a lot of people went to see, just as a movie.  However, I have 
experienced what I call "multiple deaths."  I will explain what I mean. 

The spirit goes through individual transformations and changes.  This is 
my opinion.  It actually happens two different ways.  The body dies and 
the spirit takes on a new body, or what happens more frequently is, the 
body remains alive and the spirit changes.  This has happened to me 
numerous times in the last 20 years.  It has recently happened to me 
again.  That is why some of my work has changed so drastically in such 
a short period of time.  

The old spirit that lived in me, Gary Clyman, has reached its expiration 
date and a new spirit moves in or takes over.  Now a days a lot of people 
do "channelling" and do some sort of... it's not really esoteric, it's more 
like New Age... do some New Age "spirit" work, where another spirit 
"comes in and talks through them."  Because of my physical and 
spiritual constitution, when the channelling takes place inside of me, my 
body remains the same, my expressions remain the same, my person-
ality remains the same, all because of the stability I've developed over 
the last 15 years in practicing Tai Chi.  A lot of these transformations 
appear to be dreams.  However because of my consciousness, sensitivity, 
and awareness, I have been able to recognize these changes in a very 
specific sequence.  This is actually one of the reasons that I'm able 
to help people in such a quick and permanent way. 

I understand things about being a human that most people never pay 
attention to.  Some of these basic principles are written in very ancient 
Taoist texts that aren't even available in English.  Much of the advise that 
I give people does not come from Gary Clyman, does not come from God 
like many West Coast people would like to believe, but it actually comes 
from an innate knowledge that I have developed from understanding 
myself.

People from all over the country and soon from all over the world are 
attracted to this reservoir of spiritual understanding.  Creating change 
in the world must start with individuals, one at a time.  

This is an important step in my work.  Changing the World begins with 
changing individuals.  Remember a lot of this work has been kept secret 
inside various groups.  I have, through my Tai Chi and Chi Kung practice, 
tapped into this "secret knowledge" that has never been brought out to  
mainstream America. 

Advice through different mediums is available to people who realize the 
importance of having the right information and doing "the right thing."  
The underlying principle here is, I help people do exactly what is right for 
them, regardless of what the rest of your environment including your 
parents, your friends, your peers, your spouses, or your children think.  
You do what's real for you and don't worry about the rest of the people.  

It's their responsibility to accommodate it.  That's a very self-centered way 
of being, but this is the only way that you can actually be yourself and 
make a difference in the world.

THE WORST SIGNS OF LOW SELF-ESTEEM LEVELS

To extend a self-esteem problem in men that produces a man willing to 
accept being beaten by a women is pathetic.  This is also related to the 
problem with setting personal boundaries.  You are willing to let other 
people invade your personal space and abuse you to an excessive and 
unreasonable degree.  This problem is more common than one might think 
on the surface.  

Physical violence should not be accepted under any circumstances 
from another person regardless of who they are.  This type of 
"invasion of privacy" is totally out of the question and is very wide 
spread.  Only through an extreme lack of self-respect can this even be  
allowed to happen. 

An example:  you are "here" (defined), and everything is around you.  A very 
common problem many people have is that they are "not here" (undefined) 
and everything is around them.  They believe their bodies are equal to 
everything else in their environment, and no more important.  Many people 
put the same importance on their possessions as they do their own 
physical bodies, which is totally ridiculous and way off base. 

HIDDEN EATING DISORDERS

Bulemia without the symptoms of "The Binge/Purge Mechanism" is more 
widespread than most people would believe.  Many people, due to their own 
internal discipline or level of control, have Bulemia or a very similar eating 
disorder, but do not express the obvious external symptoms that are 
most commonly found with this condition. 

I have recently worked with a client who has had an eating disorder his 
whole life.  He would have never recognized and identified himself as a  
Bulemic. 

The origin of this particular eating disorder and psychological profile is 
that "Bulemics" as a rule choose their eating disorder very carefully as 
their own self-contained set of control devices.  For instance, they are the 
only people that can have any input.  They use their eating disorder as 
their own prized possession that no other person can influence, effect, or  
intrude upon. 

I will list the Bulemic causes I have noticed:

Being ignored as a child, always wanting attention and never getting it, 
being told or instructed how to act, appear, and feel, always having your 
personal space invaded by other people which includes many variations of 
emotional, physical, and sexual abuses, as a child and as an adult.  Also 
playing the game of life and having the rules changed frequently by an 
external source. 

I do not require my students or clients to practice every day.  4 or 5 times 
a week is more than enough and if a person is anger-motivated or comp-
ulsive, and misses one day of practice, they usually have tendencies to 
make a string of missed days out of it.  It's sort of like an alcoholic on 
a binge. 

DO OTHER KINDS OF EXERCISE GET THESE RESULTS?

A question many people ask me is, "Do other kinds of exercise do what Chi 
Kung does?"  No, they don't.  You could be a marathon runner and never 
ever get any of the benefits of just 2 or 3 weeks of practicing Chi Kung.  
This has been proven to me many times over.  I have actually interviewed 
some very proficient athletes who have had the same kinds of problems 
that other people have had.  Their athletics put their bodies in shape, 
but did nothing for their WILL, their souls, or their minds. 

You see, strengthening one's soul or one's WILL requires different tools 
than any other kind of therapeutic work.  This is as far as I know, the only 
way to strengthen one's WILL in a short period of time for long term 
benefits. 

Strengthing one's WILL is tied into the various damages that daily life 
puts on us. 

THE CHI KUNG TECHNIQUE IN A NUTSHELL

Phase #1 - is distinguishing where your body is in relationship to your 
environment. 
Phase #2 - is determining where the energy is in your body.  For 
instance, inside your extremities and torso. 
Phase #3 - is taking the energy that you've already discovered and 
cultivating it into the core of your extremities and your torso. 
Phase #4 - is taking the energy and driving all of it from the extremities 
into the inside of the torso to the center line, inside the torso. 
Phase #5 - is drawing all your the collected energy from all the other 
areas of the body and storing it in a spot called Tan Tien which is located 
3 inches below your navel and 2 inches inside. 
Phase #6 - is circulating and moving your essence throughout your body, 
to be more specific inside the Central Channel of your nervous system 
(spinal cord).  This is a very specific and important part of your Chi Kung  
practice. 

The question often comes up, "how do you circulate your energy inside your 
spinal cord if you don't have the slightest idea where your body is in 
relationship to your environment?"  You should begin to understand why 
you have to learn the grosser techniques first, then you will become more 
refined and specific as you learn more. 

Learning this system is like having someone give you the wheel as opposed 
to re-inventing the wheel every time. 

THE CHI KUNG / ACUPUNCTURE RELATIONSHIP

A question that comes up frequently is, "What is the relationship between 
Chi Kung and acupuncture?"  In most books and according to some other 
teachers, they rely heavily on acupuncture as a way of explaining how the 
energy flows in the body.  In my opinion, using acupuncture as a way to 
explain Chi Kung has certain problems associated with it.  First of all, it 
implies that in order to practice Chi Kung, a student must have an exten-
sive understanding of acupuncture.  This is not true.  I am a retired 
acupuncturist since 1985.  Correction:  I just got my Illinois Acupuncture 
License and came out of hidding.  I started learning acupuncture in 1975. 

Acupuncture was quite difficult to learn in the old days, because of "a shroud 
of secrecy" that surrounded it.  It took my friend and I a long time to locate 
our acupuncture teacher and convince him we were "safe and serious" 
enough for him to teach us.  Acupuncture is only remotely related to Chi 
Kung and is necessary to learn and practice in order to make your Chi 
Kung more proficient.   

The principles of acupuncture may help in describing and explaining how 
the energy flows in the body, but should be discarded after your Chi Kung 
practice is under way. 

LEARN FROM CHINESE ANATOMICAL CHARTS

The important principles to grasp are: the body should be viewed as in 
Chinese anatomical charts, with the arms extended over your head, palms 
facing forward, unlike the western charts.  The front side of the body or 
the yin side, is the softer and lighter surface of the body including the 
face, chest, abdominals, front of legs, and most importantly the palm 
sides of the arms and forearms are exposed and focused on.  To determine 
the yang side or the harder side of the body, imagine your body with your 
arms extended over your head.  The yang surfaces are on the back of the 
head, the back of the neck, the shoulders, back, buttocks, back of thighs 
and calves.  

These surfaces are considered tougher or more protected than the front 
side of the body.  Now, in relationship to yin and yang, the inside of the 
thighs. are considered yin and the outside are considered yang in comp-
arison.  This is the only relationship to acupuncture that you really have 
to understand or recognize.  (See Illustration #1 from the printed book)

THE HUMAN BODY (ILLUSTRATION #1)

When you practice the Chi Kung standing meditation, which I named 
"Basic Path Training," you are going to be sucking energy in the yin 
surfaces of the body, on the inhale, which again includes the inside of palms 
and the forearms, and the inner surface of the thighs.  You will be expelling 
energy out through the finger tips, on the exhale.  It is not important at 
this time that you have a direct or specific path for the energy to flow 
through. 

Remember, you are going to be sucking in through the palms and the 
forearms and blowing out the fingertips.  This is a very common practice 
in Chi Kung.  How the energy gets to the finger tips through other areas in 
your body is not important, because the energy knows how to get there on 
its own.  

The destination of what I call opening and closing the doors, is a very 
important part of your daily Chi Kung practice. 

THE CONCEPTION AND GOVERNING VESSEL INVOLVEMENT

In regards to the Chi Kung relationship with The Conception and Governing 
Vessels, it is important in my opinion.  In describing The Micro Cosmic Orbit, 
it makes sense to use the concepts of the Conception and Governing vessels.  

But in my opinion, this is really not important, even in a the most basic 
beginning stages.  The energy is not really circulated inside the conception 
and governing vessels.  It is much more applicable if understood that the 
energy is actually circulated inside "the central channel" of the spinal cord, 
which is in the center of each spinal vertebrae.  

I use The Conception and Governing Vessels only for teaching purposes in 
the beginning.  At the top of the spinal cord, near the brain stem, the energy 
then circulates directly up through the top of the skull, and on the exhale, 
it will then decline, dropping through the back to the spinal cord, down 
through the spinal cord to the tip of the tail bone (coccyx).  It will then 
pierce the core of the body to the floor of the perineum (point at the base 
of the torso) and change direction.  When circulating your energy in The 
Micro Cosmic Orbit, it is important not to drop your energy from Tan Tien 
(3 inches below the navel and 2 inches in) down to your genitals.  What you 
should do is cut a corner from Tan Tien, across by passing your sex organs, 
to the tip of the tail bone and then rise up on the inhale.  

Do not pass through the genitals.  This will cause you trouble and extra 
work to remedy in advance of developing a minor problem. 

THIS BEARS REPEATING...

It seems to me that many other authors combine acupuncture text into 
their Chi Kung books.  In my opinion, a basic understanding of acupuncture 
is not necessary in order to excel in the practice of Chi Kung.  It is easy to 
write a thicker book if you include a substantial amount of acupuncture 
theory.  

In my book, you won't find it.  I have had great success teaching people 
from all walks of life without even the slightest mention of acupuncture.  

Remember, the reason for writing this book is to bring Chi Kung to the 
masses.  Requiring any understanding of acupuncture, needing a Tai Chi 
background, reading the Tao Te Ching will begin to limit my readership as 
well as this books ultimate usefulness.  When I accept students for my 
Tai Chi class, I recommend and require them to take PERSONAL POWER 
TRAINING, where I teach Chi Kung, prior to joining my Tai Chi class. 

BURNING THROUGH WITH YOUR ENERGY

Many of these pathways have yet to be "burned through" by you directing 
your energy through various kinds of body tissue.  This is an important 
concept, "burning through."  Acupuncture offers us a convenient concept,  
but to be more exact the "burning through" concept is much more accurate. 

The way I was taught Chi Kung early in 1978, was as an extension of my 
own Tai Chi practice and instruction.  My teacher had decided that he had 
taught Tai Chi long enough and went into the business world.  He taught me 
Chi Kung almost as an afterthought in his living room a year or so after he 
had closed his Tai Chi school. 

When I speak of acupuncture, I do have some experience with it.  You see, 
at around the same time I was learning Chi Kung, I was also learning 
acupuncture.  The concepts are similar but not the same.  When you practice 
Chi Kung the way I teach it, You need no previous experience what so ever. 

I WORKED HARD SO YOU DON'T HAVE TO

After many years of practicing these techniques, I teach the updated 
version of how I personally practice.  I was practicing this way for years 
before I ever considered teaching anybody else.  When you the reader learn 
Chi Kung from my book, it is very important for not to skip around.  I have 
put the technical part of this book so your only responsibility is to learn 
these simple techniques in the prescribed order and fashion.  I repeat, 
learn the system in the order presented.  Do not skip around. 

Each technique the way I teach it, leads to each other techinique.  I have 
had excellent results in teaching this way and insist this is the best way 
to learn. 

WHAT, WHEN, WHERE & HOW

When practicing Palms On Knees Meditation, you do not have to be 
concerned with the question, "Where does the air go after it enters 
through the knees?"  Caring any more about this is like trying to guide 
your breath into your lungs consciously.  It is just not necessary and 
makes no difference.  When you pour water on a table top, do you have to 
know how the water will reach the floor?  No, the water knows how to all 
by itself. 

THE BEST TIME TO PRACTICE IS EARLY MORNING

Concerning the time of your daily practice, early morning is best for a few 
reasons.  Before practicing I advise my students to take regular hot or 
warm showers and finish with 30 seconds to a minute of ice cold water 
with no hot.  This is very good because the ice cold shower has the same 
effect as practicing Condensing Breathing in that, it makes your energy 
and your body heat thrust toward the inside of your body, inside the limbs 
and inside the torso.  This is also achieved when practicing Condensing 
Breathing.  Never take a shower immediately after practicing Chi Kung.  

This will rob your body of valuable body heat, energy, and can create  
energy imbalances.  The best time to practice Chi Kung is in early morning, 
after your cold shower and before eating.  Before practicing, you might want 
to drink some hot herbal tea to get your insides warmed up.  I even sit 
and practice Condensing Breathing directly in front of a very hot space heater.  

I let the heat blow directly on the small of my back.  This is used as an aid in 
"heating up" your body and to help absorb and circulate that external heat into 
your Micro-Cosmic Orbit.  You will be surprised at how fast this will improve 
your winter health, the way you feel, and keep your day better and easier, 
all day long. 

When practicing Chi Kung, you tend to get hot.  I do not advise taking your 
clothes off, but actually remaining hot and trying to absorb the heat into 
the center of your torso.  For health maintenance purposes, you should 
wear a turtleneck as soon as the temperature drops to around 60 degrees 
and you might include a very thin cotton or wool sleeveless and collarless 
sweater vest.  This will help you retain your body heat and maintain a 
warm torso. 

Body heat is one of the most important things that we are dealing with 
here.  If you don't conserve and maintain your internal body heat, it 
becomes very difficult to circulate internal energy.  Body heat is very 
necessary for cultivating and developing your internal energy.  As I have 
explained elsewhere in the book, the first benefit derived from your Chi 
Kung practice is improving your health. 

The best time to practice differs from person to person, depending on your 
daily schedule.  If you practice Chi Kung the way I teach it, you will be 
able to fit it into your busy schedule.  You can do the complete Daily 
Practice Routine in less than an hour, closer to 40-45 minutes without 
skimping any of the important parts. 

I have students all over the country that practice many different ways.  
They don't all practice the way I teach.  Some students practice for 15 or 
20 minutes in the morning and take little breaks of practice, when they 
can get more in. 

I have some students that are Chiropractors.  One of them works on his 
patients all day long, using Chi Kung combined with his Chiropractic 
technique.  His Chiropractic technique is extremely proficient and since he 
learned Chi Kung from me a few years ago, he is able to work all day on 
over 100 patients and not become tired by the end of the day.  So this 
doctor is actually practicing Chi Kung all day long. 

A LITTLE CHI KUNG IS BETTER THAN NO CHI KUNG

A common question many of my clients ask is, "how do I practice all this 
when it seems like I have no time to do it?"  The answer to this question 
is elsewhere in my book and bears repeating.  Answer:  Try to get in one 
substantial practice in the beginning of your day.  "Substantial" means 
approximately 15-20 minutes.  After this first practice is out of the way, 
this frees you up to practice in small increments throughout the rest of 
your day. 

TOO BUSY TO SAVE TIME?

Many people ask me since they have no time to do the whole Daily Practice 
Routine because they're busy, "how does one break up the Daily Practice 
Routine so it's workable on a daily basis?"  Busy people can't be spending a  
lot of time practicing.

O.K., this is the "busy person's" Chi Kung practice.  Start with condensing 
breathing - The Stickman, then do your Upward and Downward Meditation, 
Inward and Outward Meditation, Tai Chi Stance Meditation, then sit down.  

This takes 15 minutes or so.  Everybody has 15 minutes, I don't care how 
busy they are. 

MEF:  After Tai Chi stance, what did you say? 
GJC:  Tai Chi stance,  I didn't say anything after Tai Chi Stance.  Then, 
whether you're in your car or on the train, you can practice Inside Air.  You 
can do it on the train because you're really not supposed to be making any 
noise anyway after you learn it Inside Air.  Then you can do The Micro 
Cosmic Orbit.  I don't advise doing that while you're driving, but if you're 
on the train or someone else is driving, it'll be fine.  No problem.  Then you 
can do The Heaven and Earth Meditation any time, any place, anywhere, 
even in business meetings, and that's where you're throwing in your 
Affirmations, your Visualizations, and your Impregnating. 

But you really do want to have control of your environment when you're 
doing the Impregnating practice.  You don't want to have to have to answer 
the phone or to be interrupted.  You want to finish that and then you want 
to finish your Layered Condensing.  Then you're done.  You also want to take 
your cold shower in the morning, before you practice. 

MEF:  Even if you don't do Preparation? 
GJC:  Sure.  Now most people say then, they need a second shower after 
they practice.  I say you really don't because if you do the first shower, 
you're not going to smell that much unless you're extremely "toxic."  You're 
not going to stink like a pig after a 20 minute practice.  I mean, you'll be 
sweaty sure, so you wash you face and you're done.  It's not like 
you're going to the gym for 3 hours, or you're in my Tai Chi class.

SPREAD OUT YOUR CONDENSING

"Condensing Breathing" can be practiced all day long, in your car, at work, 
when talking to other people, at meetings, or anywhere else that you can 
fit it in.  After just a short amount of time of condensing breathing you 
will begin to notice that you will begin to experience higher energy levels 
on a frequent basis, almost immediately.  When I say "higher energy 
levels," I don't mean that you'll run farther, play sports with more endur-
ance, which you will, but these external benefits are side effects of hese 
higher energy levels. 

SUCK EVERYWHERE BUT WHEN YOU'RE DRIVING

"Condensing Breathing" as I have said previously, can be practiced 
anywhere but should not be practiced while driving your car because as it 
raises your physical presence and awareness and it could distract you 
from your driving responsibilities. 

I have seen myself many years ago, actually having concentration 
problems while driving because I was meditating everywhere I went.  I 
didn't have any accidents, luckily, but I found myself "spacing out," which 
is not the best defensive way to drive. 

DRINKING COLD LIQUIDS HARMS YOUR INTERNAL ENERGY

I do not suggest drinking cold fluids in the morning because your body's 
energies are not flowing strongly and are organized yet. 

I SUGGEST SKIPPING BREAKFAST

I personally have skipped breakfast for many years.  I advise this because 
it is easier to practice without having any food in your system.  When I 
used to practice 6-10 hours a day, eating breakfast interrupted and conflicted 
with my training schedule. 

Skipping breakfast also gives you a chance to burn off food from the day before.  
Most people eat on schedule, regardless of whether they are actually hungry or not.  
This makes no sense and is probably a carry over from childhood when we had 
no control over our "feeding schedule" just like animals in the zoo. 

DRINK MY TEA IN THE MORNING

With all the "coffee substitutes" on the market these days, why would 
anybody want to drink coffee.  I have been told that these "substitutes" are 
no substitute to coffee.  I personally don't and never have liked coffee, but 
I have been drinking the same tea mixture for nearly 15 years now.  I will 
give you the recipe my favorite tea mixture. 

1 teaspoon of 1 tea bag of Kuki Cha Tea (Japanese Twig tea) 
1 teaspoon of 1 tea bag chamomile flower tea 
1 tea bag of Red Zinger (Celestial Seasonings Brand) 
1/2 teaspoon of Chinese Gun Powder (Green)* 

Chinese Gun Powder Tea is a green tea in which the leaves that are rolled 
into very hard little balls that look like they blow up when you put them in 
boiling water.  Never boil the water with the tea already in it.  Boil the 
water first, then add the tea.  Add this tea mixture to a full pot of tea.  

This will be enough for many large cups.  Try it, you'll like.  If desired, you 
can add 1/2 a tea spoon of buckwheat honey in a large cup of tea. 

AVOID EXCESSIVELY SWEET FOODS FIRST THING IN THE MORNING

You should eat only when you are hungry unless you have the symptoms 
of hypoglycemia (low blood sugar).  Do not start your day off with sweets, 
you will have nowhere to go from there.  This will lead to "The Roller 
Coaster Effect" that will feel like hell. 

YOU SHOULD NOT PRACTICE CHI KUNG AFTER EATING

If you practice immediately after eating, most of your energy is going to 
digesting your food.  This means that you are not going to have any energy 
available to circulate through your body.  If you have a 1 hour lunch break, 
and you don't know whether to eat first or practice first, always practice first.  

For best results, avoid eating food 20 minutes before and an hour after 
you practice, if at all possible. 

AVOID LATE NIGHT EATING

Avoid eating after 10PM because this leads to many digestive problems 
and can you fat.  Your digestive organs do not get a chance to rest.  Late 
night eating leads to "next day sluggishness."  What you eat the night before 
effects your next day's energy levels.  If you practice Chi Kung, you can 
still whip your energy levels back to where they should be, but that's a 
lot of extra work. 

YOU ARE YOUR ENVIRONMENT

Understanding this principle is one of the first necessary steps in 
developing your internal energy. 

The purpose for keeping your eyes "half opened and half closed" is, if 
you close your eyes totally, you will day dream and fall asleep.  If you keep 
your eyes wide open and glaring, you will only be aware of your external 
environment.  You want a good balance between the two,  aware of your 
internal and external environments, that is, your body and your environ-
ment at the same time.  When some people begin to experience a change 
in the way they "see," it as if their eyes don't focus as usual.  Don't worry, 
this is a normal phenonoma.  It will go away soon. 

CHI KUNG & RELIGION CONCERNING PROSPERITY AND HAPPINESS

People that don't have a lot of money and are operating in "survival" have 
a certain sense of urgency.  Of course, people that have this "lack of" 
consciousness also believe that their unhappiness will be solved or their 
happiness is based on the amount of possessions or income they have. 

Many of my readers will agree that their happiness appears to be based on 
their financial security.  When practicing Chi Kung, you develop an ability 
that is very hard to get otherwise.  Your happiness becomes less related to 
your finances and you realize that your happiness is based on doing what's 
best for you, doing what want as opposed to what others want. 

GOOD URGENCY?  RE-CAPTURING THE EYE OF THE TIGER

Because many people have very low levels of self-esteem, practicing Chi 
Kung will elevate your self-esteem and so, up goes your happiness with it.  
I have worked with a few clients that are millionaires and they have been 
no more happy than the average person.  As a matter of fact, sometimes 
because they have so much money, financial abundance and stability, this 
actually causes them problems.  Severe boredom, lack of challenge and lack 
of urgency.  For the extremely well-to-do, this is a serious yet common 
problem. 

In the early stages of millionairship, it appears that some of my clients 
have had a carry-over attitude, and feel that they don't have enough, when 
in fact they really do.  It's as if their wealth has not registered with them.

Something that many people don't have is "The Eye Of The Tiger" which is 
bringing your spirit up to its full potential.  What is needed here is what I 
call "Rules for Living."  If you don't have them, you can't expect any more 
than what you already have.  The key to being successful is not what you're 
going to do, the key to being successful is what you're prepared and 
committed to do. 

To be confident in fighting and self-defense, you don't have to kill 
somebody, but you have to be prepared to kill somebody.  If the decision 
comes up, you have to know in your heart and soul, that if it's between him 
and me, it will definitely be him that takes the fall.  If you have a bad 
marriage, you don't have to get divorced, but you have to be prepared to get 
divorced in order to make your marriage work.  Whatever you're prepared 
to do is the gauge of how much you're going to get back from it. 

THE COMFORT OF CONFUSION

"The Comfort of Confusion" relates to people who for one or many reasons 
chooses unconsciously to act confused because this act prevents them 
from doing what is best or right for themselves.  A poverty attitude can be 
carried long after you have more than you ever thought you would have.  

In some cases, sudden prosperity carries with it the fear that someone is 
going to take it away from you.  This common worry is a carry-over from the 
old days.  I have found this in people who have "sudden success."  I help my 
clients get over this problem almost immediately.  This belief also appears as 
the feeling that life is too good, and something is going to happen that will 
change all this.  These beliefs are related to self-esteem and self-confidence 
problems. 

"Do I deserve as much as I have?" is a common question. 

HOW WE PUNISH OURSELVES

This Part is concerning self-punishment and how it relates to the practice 
of Chi Kung.  I have found many people, if told to practice every day, will 
convert missing one day into a week long ordeal.  This means they extend 
their "lack of discipline" into a much longer cycle.  With some of my clients, 
I tell them they don't have to practice.  This tends to alleviate the guilt 
related to not practicing and they then end up actually practicing more.  

This self-punishment cycle shows up in many people, in many different 
ways.  In commodity traders, the self-punishment cycle shows up as 
deliberately making two bad trades in reaction to the first bad trade. 

"HANDS ON, TRANSFER OF POWER" AND SELF-PUNISHMENT

Many times, after a person has received "Hands on, Transfer of Power," it 
eliminates his or her "self-punishment cycle."  The reaction after having 
the "Hands on, Transfer of Power" gives you the ability to recognize your 
self-punishment from a new perspective, because you are different than 
you were previously.   

UNDERSTANDING INCOME LIMITATIONS

I have discovered that some people have money-making capability problems 
relating to the amount of money they were told was a sufficient amount 
when they were young.  Realize that in 1968, $10,000 was about an 
average income and people that were making $30,000 a year were thought 
of to be "exceptional."  If you use that as a basis for comparison, the same 
$30,000 is $150,000 nowadays. 

What you haven't taken into consideration is inflation and how much the 
dollar really is worth these days and all those other comparisons.  So 
$60,000 is not a lot of money any more in the 80's.  In 1968, $60,000 was 
an enormous amount of money.  This problem is directly related to a 
person's "comfort zone," "Sense of Urgency," "The Protestant Work Ethic"  
and other "undeserving issues."

Practicing Chi Kung is an excellent way to adjust your "sense of urgency," 
your perspective on income and what you're worth.  This concerns the 
issue of prosperity and creating urgency related to your income. 

There are so many people making more money than they ever thought 
they were going to make before, but in relationship to how much they are 
actually capable of making, are barely scratching the surface. 

CREATING URGENCY

This is directly related to what I call "Creating Urgency" or "Using 
Survival Instinct in Non-survival Situations."  If people waste 50% of 
their energy on trying to assimilate and digest the way they're treated by 
other people, that is 50% of their energy that they are not directing on 
furthering themselves toward personal or professional goals.  What I am 
saying here is, if you are wasting a lot of energy trying to accommodate 
for the way you treated, you can't do what you're suppose to do.  

You are operating with only half your cylinders working.  So to create 
a "sense of urgency" is a very important part of becoming happy and 
iving a fulfilled life.  In order to develop this sense of urgency, a handful 
of things are important.  First of all, you must realize what characteristics 
are yours personally, and what characteristic are from your background 
or from the way you were taught.  After you have isolated these specific 
characteristics and traits, you must then make decisions about whether 
you want to continue to own them or whether you would rather just let 
them go and replace them with something that does not necessarily have 
to be its opposite. 

This is part of what I do with each of my clients prior to do "Hands on,  
Transfer of Power." 

WORK WITH YOUR LEFT FOOT?

A part of what has to happen to create change is that you get so disgusted 
with the way things are that you're willing to do anything to prevent remaining 
the same.  "You should be able to work with your left foot."  This was 
told to me by one of my Tai Chi seniors in 1975.  This means that Tai 
Chi people should be able to earn a living with their left foot.  This means 
you can spend 95% of your energy and intention on cultivating yourself and 
35% of your energy and intention on making a living. 

"LISTENING TO RADIO PROGRAMS CAN BE HARMFUL"

The idea that this is true relates to the Catholic or Protestant Work Ethic, 
"If you don't work hard, it's not worth it, it's dishonest or you didn't earn  
When driving my car on Sunday nights, I sometimes hear Christian radio 
programs.  Nothing infuriates me more than hearing the preachers talk 
about how horrible it is to have wealth.  They don't call it prosperity, they 
call it "wealth" as if it's dirty.  When I meet new people, I can see the 
effect of being raised around these types of guilt-ridden belief systems. 

GOD DOES NOT WANT YOU TO BE POOR

It certainly seems that these radio preachers spend more time and energy 
trying to justify to their listeners why they should live in poverty and be 
poor, as opposed to stimulating or inspiring them to obtain the most out of 
life, such as prosperity, happiness, and love. 

According to these belief systems, "if you have a lot of money or wealth, 
you are missing something else," or "you really can't be happy if you're 
wealthy" or "you're really better off having nothing because then you will be 
closer to GOD."  What kind of garbage is this?  These kinds of beliefs have 
caused enormous amounts of indirect suffering.  I can't say "direct" because 
I hope these preachers don't wish their listeners to feel miserable.  

They may, I don't know.  But, they are trying to get money from their listen-
ing audience, so they use guilt.  I don't think they are trying to make 
their listening audience depressed.  

As I ride in my car myself, I find myself feeling what they're saying and 
then the other part of me clicks in and I say "no, don't do that."  Many 
times I feel like writing letters to these preachers, but then I realize it 
won't help, so I don't bother.  If this stuff effects me, I hate to imagine 
how badly "normal people" might be effected. 

PROSPERITY AND SELF-WORTH

I have found in working with people, when asking the question, "How much 
money are you worth?" or "How much money do you want?" is that people 
usually say about 2 and a half times what they have had in the past.  

Example:  if a person says they want to make $50,000 a year, they are 
probably currently making about $20,000, or if they say they want to make 
a million dollars, they are probably making about $400,000.  It is funny 
but the spoken amount is usually slightly less than half.  How much do you 
want? 

GOD WANTS YOU TO BE PROSPEROUS

The concept of prosperity is a new one in this country.  There are a few 
good books on this subject.  A few books that I've read, that I advise my 
clients to read are 

The Dynamic Laws of Prosperity by Katherine Ponder.
How to Have MORE in a Have-Not World by Terri Cole-Whittaker.  
Katherine Ponder has a handful of other books concerning prosperity.  
Find them and read them yourself. 

CHI KUNG, THE NEW RELIGION?

When I say this is "not religious" I mean this is not giving up to Jesus, 
GOD, Buddah, or Mohammed, or any other representation.  It has nothing 
to do with that.  Chi Kung is not to be used instead of religion.  Whatever 
religion you are, that's up to you.  Chi Kung is an application and a self-
contained system that does not require you to give up any religious 
beliefs, rituals, or anything else. 

Anybody that thinks that Chi Kung is the new religion is extremely 
confused.  Just like Macrobiotics is not a new religion.  Macrobiotics is a 
way to eat.  Now the problem that many people in Macrobiotics have, and 
I'm not exactly sure of the origin of this particular belief is that they feel 
that the spirit is in the food.  The spirit is not in the food.  The nutrients 
are in the food, but the spirit comes from somewhere else.  Just like in 
Chi Kung, the spirit is not in Chi Kung, the spirit comes from you.  It's  
already there. 

Chi Kung gives you the ability to develop and bring out the qualities that 
you make a conscious decision to bring out.  If you practice Chi Kung for 2 
years, and you have been giving up regularly, obviously you will be much 
different.  When you first learn this stuff, you will be looking at a lot of 
things that will come to the surface.  You will learn to make very specific 
decisions about giving things up, one at a time.  That's just the way it is. 

You will get amazing results using this system. 

THE THREE TREASURES OR PRECIOUS THINGS:
CHI, JING, AND SHEN

Your first goal is to accumulate and cultivate Chi, and convert our Chi to 
Jing (cultivated sexual energy).  If you ejaculate, it is like making a huge 
cash withdrawal on a very small savings account.  What is the sense in 
that?  So first we develop Jing.  After you have cultivated Jing, you go 
through a similar process of converting Jing into Chi.  Chi is more of a 
mental energy, with a much faster vibration.  Remember, Jing has a more 
physical and noticeable vibration because it is vibrating more slowly.  

That is why it is heavier and more physical.  On the other hand, Chi is 
much faster so the body does not have a chance to respond to its 
movement by physically vibrating. 

What comes next after transforming Jing to Chi, is a very commonly 
asked question.  This question was on my own mind for many years.  I 
never got a satisfactory answer, and I'm sure you haven't either.  I will 
give you my answer.  

In the Chi Kung article in Inside Kung Fu Magazine 1987, we defined 
Shen as "Your level of assertiveness in the World."  This definition 
comes about as close as you will probably ever get to making sense of 
this word.  What good does all your energy do you, without a vehicle to 
utilize it?  That's where Shen comes in. 

A SECOND EXPLANATION OF CHI, JING, AND SHEN

First is Jing, which is level one, Chi which is level two, and finally Shen 
which is level three and the highest of the three.  Jing is cultivated sexual 
energy which is the physical vibration, the way the energy moves inside 
the body.  Chi is more like "the speed of the mind" as opposed to the 
vibration.  Chi moves too fast to create a physical vibration.  Shen is your 
spirit, or your level of assertiveness in the world. 

So you cultivate Chi or Jing first depending on how you practice, then you 
transmute or convert Chi into Jing, and then you transmute your Chi and 
Jing into Shen, Spirit.  Shen is last.  Different kinds of practice develop 
different aspects of Jing, Chi, and Shen.  But Shen is always last.  

It is the end result of your Jing and Chi cultivation and transmutation. 

If people aren't doing what they are supposed to do, they has no Shen. 
But if people have a picture of how they're supposed to be, what they're 
suppose to do, what their life's mission is and all that, they are actually 
performing it or "living it out," then they have a large amount of Shen. 

If you want to be the best at what you are, and you're not, what's the  
point? 

CONVERTING CHI TO JING

So when some people say they "feel their Chi" or they "feel their Jing," 
they don't feel their Chi, they feel their Jing.  The word "Chi" has become 
too generic a term.  Too many meanings and associations have been tied 
to the word "Chi."  Even when people feel tingling in their fingers or shaking 
in their legs, this is not "Jing."  I am talking about "Cultivated Sexual 
Energy," not just some muscular contractions and shaking. 

I feel my Chi and Jing, you feel my Jing only.  My Jing can be measured by 
my ability to make you feel it, Chi is my own, you can't feel my Chi at all.   
Jing can be expressed out of my body, Chi can not.  When Chi is converted 
to Jing, this is the same as converting your internal energy (Chi) into your 
internal power (Jing).  Internal power can also be thought of as "explosive 
energy."  Your internal energy you feel, your internal power has the quality 
of being able to be transmitted and expressed outside of your own body.  

When a Tai Chi Master touches someone and makes them fly into a wall with 
what looks like "no effort," this is a demonstration of using his JING, or his 
cultivated sexual energy.  

Internal power must be stored in the body and cannot be converted when 
needed.  It must already be present. 

In my own experience, I feel the same all the time, and cannot detect any 
change in my internal energy or power reserves.  This has been this way in 
me since I can remember having "my energy awakening" in 1977.  Since 
then, I have never been the same as before.  This can also happen to you, 
if you practice the right material, the right way.  

Jing is cultivated sexual energy, Chi is the energy of the mind that cannot 
be felt or expressed to another person, and Shen is spirit, not "spiritual" 
like some "New Age" people associate with the word "Spirit."  Shen is 
"The Size of Your Balls in The World." 

SHRINK BEFORE YOU EXPLODE:  AN IMPORTANT SECRET

This is a very important saying: "Your ability to explode is directly related 
to your ability to contract," or "your ability to project is directly related to 
your ability to condense."  

Without practicing "Condensing Breathing," there can be no explosion.  
Just as in Tai Chi, the form named "rollback" helps you create power in and 
for all the other forms.  All the other moves are expansive in nature, 
whereas "rollback" is the only form contractive in nature. 

THE THREE INGREDIENTS FOR CHANGE

The first is -- The Physical -- JING. 
The second is -- The Mind -- CHI. 
The third is -- Spiritual -- SHEN.

To create anything, most people attempt the physical aspect first, then 
the mental.  That is the hard way.  A more effective and efficient way of 
going about creating change is to first have "The Spirit."  Knowing it will 
happen and seeing the end result as it has already been accomplished or 
already exists in the world, even though it hasn't showed up yet is how you  
get what you want. 

You have the ability to have what you want, and knowing that is already 
half the battle.  That's Shen or Spirit.  Now how do you get to the end 
result?  That is the million dollar question.  It is a lot easier to get to the 
end result when you have a clear picture of what the end result looks like.  

If you are vague or have no idea, then you are trying to "bang" your way  
through it.  So, then the mind comes in.  For all practical purposes we will 
call this aspect of change Chi.  With the mind, you structure the steps to 
achieve the end result, regardless of what it is.  Then after you first have 
"the Spirit" and "the steps to achievement" or the Chi of the mind, then 
you incorporate the physical aspects to your change. 

This is contrary to the way most people work.  They just physically do 
and they're lucky if they ever get what they're looking for or want.  If 
you set up in advance what you already want, you stand a much better 
change of getting it.  You must know and have faith that the picture you 
have created is going to happen, otherwise, you are only shooting in the 
dark.  Even if you have no physical evidence to prove you are right, faith 
in yourself is more than enough to see it through. 

If you know where you want to go, you'll probably get there.  If you have 
no idea where you want to go, you will probably never get there, wherever  
"there" is. 

If you don't have vision about what you want, you're not going to have what 
you want.  It's as simple as that.  Most people go through their entire lives 
physically trying to create changes, which is the stupid way of doing 
things.  Some think that they're going to be a little smarter and they're 
going to know the steps before they move.  That's how most people do it 
who are smart.  But what I'm talking about is seeing the end result in 
advance and then figuring out how to get there.  What we're talking about 
here is "Visualization of the Change." 

CREATING RESULTS:  IMPREGNATING THE UNIVERSE

If you are having trouble with getting a result, you must realize there are 
3 steps in getting something to happen.  I have explained this in another 
section of my book under "The 3 Ingredients of Change."  This is an 
important principle so I will repeat it again.  The first level is physical, 
the second is the mind, and the third is spiritual.  Impregnating the 
Universe uses what I call "Shen" or spiritual change.  That means you 
already know what the end result is going to be.  Then when you use the 
mind, you're going through the steps that create the change, the second 
level.  

Then when the change is finally completed.  The 3 levels are: the physical, 
the mind, and the spirit.  These are the 3 things that go into creating any 
change.  You begin with spirit and it becomes physical.  You go with spirit, 
then you figure out the steps, which is mind, then you end up with the 
result which is physical.  The problem that most people have is they don't 
do any preplanning anywhere, in the spirit or mind.  They don't even have 
an idea of what they are trying to do.  They are just physical, they just 
"bang" their way through it, which is stupid.  That's how most people live.  

It's like smashing your head against the wall.  Imagine how much easier 
your life would be if you knew what the end result of your work looked like 
before you even started. 

So the difference and what you learn from me is how to set it up in 
advance and then get it.  This principle is not only true but important in 
every endeavor whether it be starting a new business, writing a book, 
starting a relationship or marriage, losing weight, learning something 
new, or starting a new exercise program. 

TAKING THE BULL BY THE HORNS

What is this stuff we call ENERGY FOR LIFE?  Nothing more than the 
ability to take life by the horns and break them off, one or both at a 
time.  To create the reasons why you should do something to be greater 
than the restrictions and reasons why you should not attempt to have 
life the way you want it, to live life to the fullest extent and raise and 
continue to raise your natural abilities to accept more than before. 

This material is dedicated to the expansion of your horizons and the 
stretching of your own personal boundaries and limitations and beating 
your own personal best. 

A common question my client/students ask me is "Do we do all the details 
on all the techniques?"  The answer is NO.  The only details that I want you 
to practice, I will tell you to practice.  Because of the different levels of 
the practice itself, you don't try to pile everything on top of the previous 
details.  

Yes, you do use "the stacking method" for collecting and organizing your 
information, but you don't do everything all at the same time.  

For instance, you would not do Inside Air while you're doing The Micro 
Cosmic Orbit, but squeezing the urinary and anal sphincter muscles is a 
very common detail that is in most of the techniques. 

Remember, the method of learning is different than the method of practicing.  

I repeat, the method of learning is different than the method  
of practicing.

PRACTICE WITH URGENCY

"Practicing as if your clothes are on fire" in relationship to being 
deliberate, on the point, and full of aliveness is a concept I use to 
illustrate how to be alive and raise your level of physical presence and 
awareness.  You can imagine how wide awake you would be if your clothes 
were burning.  This is the attitude you should use when practicing Chi 
Kung. 

I PRACTICED WITH PASSION

I used to practice Tai Chi as if I were running a marathon.  In this I mean, 
I would practice frequently to insure the flame would not go out, usually 
6-10 hours per day.  This would consist of about 3 practice sessions 
lasting about 2-3 hours each.  This was the only way I could maintain the 
fire inside me and the pure excitement for learning Tai Chi.  "Practicing" is 
thoroughly performing your material while "running through," is simply 
going through the motions.  Recognize and understand the difference.

THE IMPORTANCE OF TAKING NOTES

I have only one regret from my personal training.  I wish I would have 
taken notes for the purpose of being able to teach Chi Kung and use my 
own experiences as a student in the training.  However, the end result of 
learning Chi Kung as taught in PERSONAL POWER TRAINING is that you 
don't remember how you used to be before you changed.  So I actually 
represent the end result of this process.  My advice to you as a beginner 
is to take notes but don't dwell on re-reading them.  Just take them so that 
months or years from now, you can use them to help yourself understand  
from where you came.

TAI CHI VS. CHI KUNG: WHAT'S THE DIFFERENCE?

The practice of Chi Kung is physical in that it involves and takes place in 
the physical body.  It is not a mind thought or a thought process, but 
neither is Chi Kung physical like Tai Chi.  Tai Chi concentrates primarily 
on changing your physical structure, improving your posture, taking off 
your weight, strengthening your lower body, improving your breathing and 
many other physical benefits.  Chi Kung focuses more on what the mind is 
doing and not so much on "physical details," at least in my system. 

Chi Kung concentrates more on cultivating your WILL.  These two arts are 
clearly different.  Chi Kung is not physical in nature but it's not mental 
either.  Training your mind is quite different than "being mental" or 
learning new ways to think.  It is not learning new belief systems, it is 
breaking old belief systems and becoming free, that's more important. 

If practicing Chi Kung can help you realize and break you personal limits, 
so that your limits have less control over you, that's more important than 
giving you some new way of thinking.  Keeping the old limits and using a 
new way of thinking means you're still stuck. 

Learning and practicing Chi Kung is totally different than going to 
"therapy" where the therapist is usually passive and just a professional 
listener.  My Chi Kung approach is very, very aggressive, but not physically  
aggressive. 

CHI KUNG MOVES ENERGY "WITH YOUR MIND"

What is it if it isn't physical and it isn't mental?  It is directing energy 
with your mind.  An example is trying to move a golf ball with your mind, 
under your skin or to use a vacuum cleaner to pick up something that 
travels through the hose.  That is easier to understand.  The idea of moving 
the golf ball under your skin is like a mouse running under your skin, 
energetically speaking, of course. 

At advanced stages, you can feel a person putting his mind at any point 
in his body by expanding any specific part of their body, at WILL.  Some 
people can feel expanding and contracting with their mind.  Many people 
can develop this ability but this is an impressive yet insignificant show 
of a mind training application compared to the big one, which is actually 
developing your WILL. 

MORE ABOUT THE TAI CHI / CHI KUNG COMPARISON

A common question that always comes up is "What is the difference 
between Tai Chi and Chi Kung?"  The primary difference is that when 
practicing and learning Tai Chi you concentrate primarily on developing 
internal energy in relationship to your physical structure.  That is, when 
you develop your internal power in Tai Chi, you are able to develop what 
is called "Transfer of Power" (Fah Jing), which allows you to release the 
energy that is stored in Tan Tien.  "Condensing Breathing" is very 
important in this process. 

What you are able to do is vibrate your skeletal system, direct the energy 
with your mind, and as you do this, you are able to move other people with 
your vibration.  This takes a great deal of time to develop.  Remember, Tai 
Chi concentrates primarily on restructuring the physical body. 

Yes, in Tai Chi you will learn different ways of breathing, but they are not 
as specific as in Chi Kung.  Tai Chi breathing techniques are much more 
general, such as learning how to "abdominal breathe" as opposed to the 
way most people breathe, with the upper third or half of their lungs. 

When you learn Chi Kung, you will learn much more specific breathing 
techniques that are combined with very specific mind training, whether 
it's driving energy up through the sky and down through the earth, 
circulating energy throughout your arms and legs in relationship to your 
torso, or in The Sitting Forms with The Mind Training, doing a very simple 
movement repetitiously while the most important part is not the physical 
movement of the body, but what the mind is doing?  It's much more 
important to direct your energy with your mind while doing The Sitting 
Forms with The Mind Training than to be concerned primarily with  
physical details. 

IS CHI KUNG A MARTIAL ART?

Tai Chi concentrates primarily on structure and is practiced as a martial 
art.  Chi Kung is not really considered a martial art.  Since I've updated my 
system so that people don't need any previous experience or background, 
most people that come to me are not even slightly concerned or aware that 
Chi Kung is related to martial art. 

The way Chi Kung is taught in my system is, you learn these mind training 
exercises which are very specific and in the long run Chi Kung can help 
your martial art.  In the long run you will learn things about yourself 
through the feedback and the realizations that you'll have while you're 
practicing Chi Kung.  Developing internal energy will have dramatic effects 
on your current martial art ability. 

Generally speaking, Tai Chi is 80% physical and 20% mind training, 
compared to, Chi Kung being 80% mind training and only 20% physical.  

When I say mind training, I am not referring to philosophy or any specific 
way of thinking, I mean directing and moving energy to and from, in and 
out, and/or through very specific pathways with your mind.  When I say 
"pathways," it is important for you to understand that these pathways are 
not already in existence, like the acupuncture meridians.  You must create 
and burn through them. 

WHAT IS "GOLD BELL TRAINING?

I teach "Gold Bell Training" or what some people call "Iron Shirt Chi Kung" 
but I restrict this to the martial art aspect because until my basic system 
has been practiced and understood, and you have become proficient, for you  
to learn "Gold Bell Training" makes no sense at all. 

Remember, more material is not more important than the quality of what 
you already know.  Quality is more important than quantity.  Repetition 
increases consistency and reduces variations.  A thing must be done many 
times the wrong way before it can be done right. 

The traditional and the same reason that I teach "Gold Bell Training" now 
is to develop the ability to absorb punches from an opponent or a practice 
partner.  

This is very important in martial art training.  I don't consider this 
important in daily life unless you are a martial artist.  I would like to 
try out these other teachers' "Iron Shirt" to see if they can actually do 
what they profess.  "Try out" means to exchange punches with them.  If 
your Gold Bell doesn't work, what's the point in talking about it.  Mine 
works and I've demonstrated it thousands of times.  "Put up or shut up," is 
what I always say.  The system I teach is real and will stand true to all 
the tests.  Will the others?  "Gold Bell Training" will be handled in detail  
in my Tai Chi book. 

GOLD BELL TRAINING" IN THE MARTIAL ARTS ONLY

To practice what is called "Gold Bell Training" or "Iron Shirt Chi Kung" 
without having an extensive internal martial art or Tai Chi background and 
a good Tai Chi ability is pointless.  The purpose of using "Gold Bell 
Training" is to bounce or repulse punches and kicks off the body.  To 
practice "Gold Bell Training" as an addition to Chi Kung is not necessary.

If you have the right basic technique, everything you're doing in your basic 
practice should be covered anyway.  It is if you study Tai Chi with me.  If 
you think you're going to be able to take punches simply because you're 
practicing Chi Kung and "Gold Bell Training" without an extensive Tai Chi 
background, you have a terrible surprise to look forward to.  You need a 
physical, structural relationship with your "Gold Bell Training" explosion 
ability.  I repeat, "learning Gold Bell Training without an extensive Tai Chi  
background is pointless." 

"ESOTERIC EXPLANATIONS?"  NO WAY!

In regard to the explanation of "The Taoist Sexual Technique" and Chi Kung, 
I have purposely avoided using any "esoteric explanations."  I do not 
believe that "esoteric explanations" actually help you to understand 
anything anyway.  I believe they are an easy way of not having to explain 
what is really meant. 

HEALTH, HAPPINESS & LONGEVITY

In regard to the benefits of practicing Chi Kung, health, happiness, and 
longevity are automatic.  When I ask people "What do you want from life?," I expect more specific answers than generic health, happiness, and  
longevity.

Ultimately, the end result of all this work is to have more ENERGY FOR 
LIFE, be alive, help improve your environment, and care for yourself and 
the people around you.  I am of the strict belief that you can not help 
anybody until you first help yourself.  You have to be stable before you can 
contribute and help anyone else.  Changing the world starts with helping 
one person at a time.  This is a very important part of my approach.

I have a reputation as being very aggressive.  That reputation is correct 
and accurate.  When you practice Chi Kung, it's a very masculine art.  
Women do practice it, but the primary benefits of the practice are 
developing internal energy, becoming a warrior, and developing your WILL. 

Your WILL in my system is what is worked on first.  People come to me 
with all sorts of problems.  Don't misunderstand me, their problems are 
not usually their main concern, but they are to be dealt with.  People come 
to me with weight problems, WILL problems, and spirit problems.  

I recently interviewed a man that had had a health problem with one of his 
sons a few years ago.  Within the first 10 minutes of meeting this man, I 
guessed he had a wounded spirit related to his son's illness from a few 
years ago.  What I said to him was exactly right.  He never did work with 
me because he had given in to his problem.  He had lost his inspiration to 
be happy again and live life to it's fullest.  I feel sorry for people that 
don't give life their best shot, but it's choice, not mine. 

By practicing Chi Kung in the method I teach, many people are actually 
able to recuperate and rejuvenate their wounded souls and wounded 
spirits.  It is important to understand that this is not just a technique 
that applies to cultivating your sexual energy.  The extension of this 
technique, or the extension of the application of Chi Kung actually leads 
to improving your life in all aspects.  This system can not only save your 
live, but give it meaning. 

CHIROPRACTIC:  NORMALIZING FAULTY BODY MECHANICS

Why does Chiropractic benefit most people?  That is because we do 
exist in the physical world.  We are exposed to many different kinds of 
stressors on a regular and ongoing basis (see The 7 Basic Principles of 
Wholistic Health, Chapter #7).  We have physical bodies and to help our 
physical bodies operate more efficiently, we require some "fine tuning" in 
our physical structure.  This is where Chiropractic fits into the picture. 

Western medicine has its strengths and weaknesses.  For instance, in 
emergency situations Western medicine is extremely valuable.  I would 
not want to go to an acupuncturist or herbalist immediately following a 
car accident.  Many alternative modes of therapy offer great assistance in 
restoring your health, but after emergency medicine has been 
administered and the patient is safe and out of a dangerous situation.  

But what about all those situations where there are not "life threatening" 
circumstances.  Chronic and acute pain, poor posture, misplaced and 
dysfunctional joints which are not truly malformed, and many other 
conditions are regularly helped by Chiropractic treatments. 

HOW TO SPEED UP THE HEALING PROCESS

Many people are afraid of Chiropractors primarily because of their own 
lack of knowledge.  If you have a pain in your body somewhere, it is quite 
possible it is a minor problem that can be eleviated quickly by a 
Chiropractor.  Most people, however, reach for a pain killer in response to 
their discomfort instead of finding out the true cause of their pain.  

Suppressing a symptom (pain) does nothing but to buy you time so your 
body can heal itself.  Sometimes the drug you take can actually hamper the 
healing process and does you no real good.  Chiropractic, on the other 
hand, does not poison your body with chemicals.  

And if the problem is structural in origin, chances are it can be 
normalized immediately.  Give it a try, you might be surprised at how  
quickly you feel better.  Many of these improvements are permanent. 

TO BE OLD AND HEALTHY IS NOT JUST A DREAM

A commonly asked question is, "If I practice Tai Chi/Chi Kung, how will it 
effect me when I get old?"  I have seen only a handful of perfect examples 
of good health throughout my Tai Chi career.  It only makes sense that if 
you have to get old, you might as well keep your faculties and be as strong 
as you were when you were 30 or 40, be happy, keep your "marbles" and 
your vitality.  

Wearing your body out by 50 years of age and taking 20 or 30 years 
for it to kill you is not my idea of a good way to go.  Look at most of 
the senior citizens in this country for example.  If you don't take the 
steps to prevent these conditions, you have nothing else to look 
forward to when you get old. 

Many years ago, I decided I wanted to be that "freaky old man" that still  
has more vitality than everybody 20, 30, 40 years younger than him. 

WHAT IS THE DIFFERENCE BETWEEN LIFE AND DEATH?

What is the difference between LIFE and DEATH?  When the energy leaves 
the body and the body loses the ability to respond to the external world or 
the outside environment, that is DEATH. 

What is the Taoist way of dying?  This is a very interesting subject.  The 
ideal way to leave this world is consciously.  I mean to make a conscious 
decision to leave this world and go into the next.  Not many people want to 
admit thinking about this subject, but it is on some peoples minds. 

THE NUCLEAR THREAT HAS DAMAGED A FEW GENERATIONS

If you are a product of the 1960's, you were raised with the constant 
threat of nuclear destruction and The Cuban Missal Crisis.  Some people 
have been effected by this threat more than others.  This threat has 
caused many people to adapt an "I don't care" attitude.  This is tragic and 
very wide spread in our younger generations.  I see this in my own 
generation and even worse in younger people.  This fear over our heads has 
robbed many people of their inspiration to live life to it's fullest, in fact, 
some people don't even try.  Their attitude is that it's all going to be 
destroyed anyway, so why bother. 

I have interviewed many people, and in some interviews, I have traced a 
procrastination issue back to its origins; that is, when my client first 
noticed it showing up.  Many times in people that were children during the 
early 60's, those bombing drills while in grade school effected us in ways 
most people are still not aware of.  Look into your own personality for any  
remnants that you might have. 

CONSCIOUS DEATH - THE BEST WAY TO GO

When a Taoist prepares for death, the dying process may take many years. 
Resolving with the person who is about to die is one of the most important 
and valuable steps you can take toward being complete with your loved 
ones.  This resolution can save you much work, emotional stress and 
trauma in the long run.  A tremendous amount of worrying and feeling 
incomplete appears as a result feeling as if you didn't respond or do the 
right thing at the right time.  This resolution process can waste many 
years of your life to reach completion.  

The pain and suffering associated with this situation is a great loss of 
human energy.  If you know that a friend or relative is dying, and take the 
extra energy to show the love to have the resolution, prior to his or her death, 
the death experience can actually be one with more joy in it, rather than 
suffering and misery, as most people experience. 

So with this in mind, understand that the only difference between being 
alive and being dead is your ability to respond to your environment.  Being 
dead is simply losing the faculty or the tools to communicate with your 
external environment including your own physical body. 

For instance, my own father's death; he died suddenly of a heart attack at 
the age of 49.  I was only 16 years old.  He had no previous poor health but 
all his older brothers had died at 52 or younger.  I believe that he had hung 
around to help take care of me and help me grow up, for probably about 
10 years until I finally had the intuition and courage to resolve with him, 
even though I had a wonderful relationship with him.  He had been taken 
away from me and I was determined to hang on to him. 

DEATH CAUSES EMOTIONAL PROBLEMS IN THE LIVING

The way my father was taken away from me had created certain emotional 
imbalances in myself.  The first level of emotional imbalance, at least on 
the surface, was jealousy.  The jealousy had converted from my being very 
aggressive and jealous in relation to my girlfriends and lovers to when in 
1982 I finally started doing some work on this problem, the jealousy 
converted to anger and soon after, the anger converted to a feeling of 
abandonment.  This feeling was directly caused by my father dying and 
leaving me suddenly, with no advance warning in 1968. 

This realization, although it took me many, many years to understand, 
has actually given me the ability, the intuition and the personality skills 
to be able to help many people resolve their "death and dying issues" 
with  friends and relatives. 

Also, 9 days prior to my father's death, my uncle, his older brother, 
died of a heart attack also.  These 2 deaths directly led to my adoption 
of a more serious and healthy lifestyle.  This has caused me to become a 
vegetarian, and to lose a lot of weight.  I went from 205 pounds to 145 
pounds in less than 3 years.  My martial art practice also contributed 
immensely.  The life changes all happened at the same time. 

When a person dies, we must do our share to let them go.  By holding 
on to them we delay their passing on to the next world.  That's not fair 
and is quite selfish, but most of us don't know we do this. 

DEATH ISSUES:  AN EMOTIONAL EPIDEMIC

As I do my weekend workshops and deal with the various topics and 
subjects that come up with people in relationship to their emotional 
well being, Death Issues related to the people around us are very 
common problems that have shown up in a very high percentage of my 
weekend participants.  

If you have these issues giving you trouble in your life you should 
contact me after completing reading my book.  There is a way out 
for you.  This has even been a major concern in my relationship with 
my wife.  This was her "first level" of material that we resolved. 

Our emotional states in this work should be viewed as the layers of an 
onion, or the many layers of paint on a wall.  As we uncover, discover, 
and resolve each level, we are exposing new issues that can be realized 
and dealt with.  In my experience, the hardest layers seem to be those 
that surface first.  As my students expose and resolve these issues, this 
leads directly to more happiness and joy in each of their lives.  These 
results speak for themselves. 

The rationalization of these Death Issues and their relationship to anger 
and abandonment is extremely wide spread and you would be surprised to 
discover that most people have the same kind of problems.  Abandonment, 
anger, jealousy, guilt, rage, fear, bitterness, sorrow and any combination of 
these emotions and their derivatives can possibly be the end result of 
having someone close to you die.  The age factor is not as important in 
these circumstances. 

I have worked with a lot of clients who have had their parents die when 
they were very young, ages 4-6 years old.  This has surfaced as a very 
serious and deep overshadowing problem for most of their lives, until they  
worked with me.   

When I perform the "Hands on, Transfer of Power" many of these issues 
are resolved forever.   

PEELING OFF THE LAYERS OF AN ONION

Human beings are like onions, not that we stink, but we have many 
emotional crusts and things that exist inside of us, around us, and  
motivate us. 

What I have found in my work with clients is that many people are anger-
motivated.  The various emotions that people carry are anger, 
abandonment, guilt, fear, rage, terror, grief, and a few others.  While 
as a person is participating in a "Hands on, Transfer of Power," these 
specific "emotional onion skins" come up to the surface, are re-
experienced, realized and released.  Everybody has these.  

Some people come knowing what their problems are or at least having 
some notion of what's going on, while others realize these human conditions 
only after 2 or 3 sessions with me.  Realizing the condition or the nature of 
your being, the ingredients of your personality is the first step in actually 
giving up these unwanted traits and personality qualities.  After these 
traits have been identified, which happens in a very short time, then it is 
my job to assist you in making specific decisions concerning retaining 
these specific traits and personality qualities.  This all still takes place 
within the confines of the application of the "Hands on, Transfer of 
Power." 

It is a natural human tendency to believe or feel that your problems are 
more serious than other peoples'.  This tends to make you, in your own 
eyes, appear more individual and special.  However, the depth of the 
problems that all people have is basically the same.  You are no different 
than anybody else.  The flavor of your "onion skins" is what make you 
appear to yourself to be quite different.  The process of eliminating these 
unwanted traits, belief systems, and natures is the same process.  It is 
my job to bring these to the surface so you can make "yes" or "no"  
decisions, then I can remove them.  It is that simple. 

Please realize that many of these "onion skins" appear to be quite 
irrational.  That always makes them look as if they're more serious, or 
incurable, than they really are.  Everything can be changed if you can make  
a "yes" or "no" decision concerning it.

DIFFERENT RESPONSES TO "HANDS ON, TRANSFER OF POWER"

While receiving the "Hands on, Transfer of Power" technique, some people 
respond quite differently than others.  Some people have visions of their 
original incident, some hear voices, some actually yell and scream 
because they are actually there dealing with the people that they have had 
incomplete communications with over all these years.  This could be 
related to an ex-wife or husband, abusive parents, or, there has even been 
cases where women have come up with visions of their fathers raping or 
molesting them that they have piled way back in their subconscious minds 
to the point that they can't remember anything about the incident at all. 

These images have come up to be crystal clear and even in color 
sometimes. 

MORE EMOTIONAL ONION SKINS

What we're talking about here... it's almost like the level of being (and I'm 
not saying one is higher than the next or any of that), it's almost like if I 
do a "Hands on, Transfer of Power" on you once, that's one time.  If we're 
working on different issues, for example, if originally you start out with 
abandonment and that switches to guilt, anger or GOD knows what else, 
that's like your second level.  Some people I've worked with, they're up to 
level 4 with me by now.  That means they've started out one way and they 
have changed topics, material, and issues a few times. 

HANDS ON, TRANSFER OF POWER by Joseph Kalal D.C.

The other day I was telling a friend of mine about Gary's Hands On, 
Transfer of Power.  As a Chiropractor and acupuncturist, I know that 
there are acupuncture points associated with these areas.  However, what 
my training doesn't tell me is, when Gary stimulates these points, why are 
such phenomenal responses illicited?  I compare these experiences to 
being in a sweat lodge, fasting for days, sweating for days, preparing your 
mind and your body for the vision quest. 

After receiving Hands On, Transfer of Power, I was emptied and was able 
to fill my body with all the positive things I wanted to.  I recommend this 
to people whose spirit needs a jolt forward.  Joseph Kalal D.C. 

"HANDS ON, TRANSFER OF POWER" SPECIFIC RESULTS

"HANDS ON" WORKS BEST WHEN YOU PRACTICE

I have tried "Hands on, Transfer of Power" on people that do not practice 
Chi Kung or have no experience and the results are not as good as on those 
who do practice.  You see, the practice not only keeps your old issues from 
returning but also helps to nourish "the new you."  So the way for the 
"Hands on, Transfer of Power" to really work best is when the person 
actually has a relationship with their own energy and energy cultivation 
system. 

When I'm doing the "Hands on, Transfer of Power," my function is like a 
spiritual surgeon and you get a spiritual transfusion.  I go in and remove 
the obstacle in a very specific way and take it out so you can function 
more normally.  It doesn't sound like acupuncture or some "new age" 
interpretation of energy flow.  That's not what I am talking about here.  

I am saying I can help you like nobody else can. 

THE PROCEDURE:  HANDS ON, TRANSFER OF POWER

When I am performing the "Hands on, Transfer of Power," first I stimulate 
various areas.  I do the same procedure on every person I work with.  It's 
not as if everybody's the same, but when I do the procedure, each person's 
issues are different. 

I start with the "diaphragm activation" first, while they are breathing 
deeply, then I start working on the various spots.  The is remotely related 
to "5 Element Acupuncture Theory," but only remotely.  I start with the 
kidneys and fear.  I have worked with a few hundred people and I have only 
had 3-4 people have kidney / fear related issues.  These people are very 
rare, for fear to be their major emotional motivators.  

Next I do the spot in the center of their chest slightly above the thymus 
gland near the heart.  That area is always related to abandonment and death-
related issues.  I continue to work these spots and stimulate them the client 
is actually living the actual original incident.  Please note:  When I am 
doing the "Hands on, Transfer of Power," my clients are not "remembering" 
these incidents, they are actually "living" them. 

Next I go to the Liver and Anger area.  Many people have this anger / liver 
involvement; most I would say.  When I stimulate the anger area, I drain 
their destructive liver energy off, then they are not angry anymore. 

Each individual's relationship with anger and their response mechanism or 
what I call their "Anger Cycle" is much different.  So, for instance, if 
someone would have been getting angry over something previously, no 
matter how major or minor, now they get mad for only 2 seconds and then 
they let it go, and they're not angry anymore, instead of walking around 
being angry for days or weeks over one incident. 

Note:  Recently, I named a condition involving Anger and/or Rage.  This 
condition is called "Mad Human Disease."  Check my web site for the results 
of a recent party and Dr. Whitely and I had in Chicago.

The next area to be worked is half way down between the xyphoid process 
and the navel, about 2-3 inches to the left of the midline.  This is 
where I have located "Bitterness."  "Bitterness" is tied in with stomach 
involvement in 5 Element Theory.  In my recent work, I have discovered 
some people that have reactions at this spot related to being controlled 
or manipulated by other people, regardless of who does the controlling.   

That's where "Stubbornness" fits into the picture.  The next area I do is 
over the ovaries in women and next to the testicles, on the torso not 
the legs, on men.  In this area I have discovered "Guilt."  

After I stimulate these various areas, I then suck the damaging energy 
out, while coaching the person I'm working with to "encapsulate it and 
pass it to me."  I then ask the question, "What percentage of it is gone?"  
When they get close to 100% gone, (and some people can't get it down to 
100% gone), I go inside the body with my energy and "comb" for any 
residual energy remnants related to their issue. 

I have the ability to enter other people and keep my energy intact upon my 
exit and return.  I function like a drug-sniffing customs dog, but sniffing 
for any hidden charges still left behind relating to these specific issues.  

I act as a human vacuum cleaner to remove what I find left. 

FIVE DAYS OF EMPTINESS AFTERWARDS

The next phase is going through five days of emptiness after I perform 
"Hands on, Transfer of Power."  "Hands on, Transfer of Power" can many 
times be the most torturous experience of your whole life, not because of 
the physical pain, but because you are actually re-living the "Original 
Incident."  These "original incidents" can range from being ignored as a 
child to being raped by family members. Some other examples can be 
witnessing your little brother getting hit by a car, seeing our father beat 
your mother, having your spouse or boyfriend/girlfriend leave you, or 
anything else, you name it. 

DOMINEERING MOTHERS HAVE LEFT THEIR MARKS

Many men are suppressed constantly by their dominant mothers.   This 
is a very common problem that many men are expected to live with.  
This affects many relationships with their future girlfriends.  "Hands on, 
Transfer of Power" changes peoples lives and is always effective.  This 
is the most remarkable thing I have ever done to help people. 

IF YOU CAN'T LIVE HERE, WHERE CAN YOU LIVE?

Do remember that any aspect of this PERSONAL POWER TRAINING and 
the principles that are being explained in the book are still basically on a 
physical plane with a physical relationship, not mental.  This is not 
mental stuff we are talking about. 

CIGARETTE SMOKING EQUALS SLOW DEATH

Smoking cigarettes is one of the most self-destructive acts known to 
man, and you can't complain when the end result of your cigarette smoking 
is your destruction.  Approximately 350,000 people die per year due to 
cigarette-related illnesses. 

X-RAYS TELL NO LIES

As a matter of fact, I quit smoking in 1969 after smoking for 9 years, and 
in 1987 I went to a Chiropractor for some treatments.  We took a full set 
of X-rays and my bronchial tubes showed up as "black" in the X-ray all 
these years latter.  This "black" represents damage done by smoking 
cigarettes 20 years ago.  Take care of your body, cause if you can't live in  
this body, where can you live?
