Steven! I’m pretty sure I met you at the ’07 Chi Fundamentals. I was there with my now ex-boyfriend with long platinum blond hair. If it was you, we sat with you one meal and you told us all about visiting Alaska. That was you, wasn’t it?!
It it was, we both thought you were a really lovely person. 🙂
Thank you so much for posting this. I may try it out. How lovely they have offered the free videos on it!
Cheers,
JeanneThanks, “vocal Chris”!
To add to my history, which is really a series of now’s…
Last night I had a wonderful telephone session with Alexander Alexis.
I had been reading a bunch of Alexander’s posts after Michael recommended doing so… was really vibe-ing with things he was saying… then I googled “Alexander Alexis” and “Daoist” and came upon a beautiful description of a workshop he had offered back in June: “The Inner Smile Alchemical Approach”. Upon reading about the workshop, I felt very strongly that I had to do something with him! So I contacted him and then we set something up. It was an absolute joy to work/play with Alexander!
I had recently gotten into an icky innerspace in which I was pressuring myself to learn more and more HD techniques — after all, I’m very “broken”, aren’t I?! — and that was feeling more and more uncomfortable. I’m letting go of pressuring myself in that way now and am feeling greatly relieved. Whew.
I can recall Michael saying more than once that “the Life Force is your best teacher” and that feels very true. I really can trust myself!

JeanneHi Chris and thanks very much for the welcome!
I feel like I’m somewhat of a neophyte when it comes to Healing Dao, even though I’ve known about Michael Winn for along time. I think I first encountered him at the New York Open Center in the late 80’s or thereabouts. And then sometime around 1992, I did a few private sessions with Michael. (Also met Joyce briefly then, was quite struck by her glowing, beaming presence. :-)) Alas, I didn’t stick with any practice for long back then. It wasn’t until years later that I got back into working/playing with my chi — at least Dao-istically speaking. 😉 When I was going through a divorce in 2003, I got a copy of the Deep Healing Chi Kung DVD, as well as some Fundamentals material. Even then, I was going in and out of practices. I did take the Chi Fundamentals 1-4 in the summer of ’07 — boy was that a lot for me to digest! Fast forward to the present… for about a month now I’ve been doing something pretty much every day. At last!
Regarding your suggestion of a resemblance between Michael and Mr. Kotter… LOL! I DO see a little bit of a resemblance, but maybe I am stretching?! However what I’m noticing more is… John Travolta was one of the main stars of “Welcome Back, Kotter” and his son Jett just died. I’ve been digesting the news of his death since learning of it on Friday.
(My exhusband was/is a massage therapist and he actually worked on Travolta once. Said he was an incredibly nice guy.)
Anyhoo, thanks again for the welcome, AND the amusement!
Appreciatively,
JeanneHi! I can’t answer your first question about the end of Step 5, because I’ve rarely moved beyond Step 4. I made myself go all the way through the DVD ages ago, but now I don’t know if I will ever make it all the way through, and that’s okay with me. Which brings me to your second question… I certainly don’t do the whole form on the DVD and that seems fine. In fact, last night I only did the first two steps, then I did another small thing or two that wasn’t from the Deep Healing DVD.
The name of the DVD does include the word “deep” and in order for me to go deep, I can only do so much!
I hope this helps. 🙂
I just remembered that David Godman, editor/writer of many books on Ramana Maharshi, has touched upon your assertion, “Another truth is that the life force, God, has power over everything, all of us, and our changing time, and it is in control of the whole thing, not us.”
What he says can be found at the following link — it’s the answer to the last question on the page:

I find what he says to be a wonderful application of the Inner Smile, and Trust.
Hi Alexander,
I’d like to report that I am right now feeling really disturbed because I’m in the midst of reading Peter Novak’s “Lost Secret of Death” on the Binary Soul Doctrine, since Michael mentioned it somewhere on this forum. So far it’s painting a really bleak picture of things, and I’ve just read the following post by Peter at his Yahoo message board re what’s supposedly going to happen to us all, and it ain’t good:
http://groups.yahoo.com/group/DivisionTheory/message/5719
I really want to know the truth, even if it isn’t pretty. At the same time, I do want a “pretty” reality!
Off now to finish Novak’s book…
Thanks for listening,
JeanneAlexander, this is incredibly beautiful and just what I needed to take in right Now. Thank you so much. I am passing it on…..
With Love,
JeanneHi Barry, I’m glad you’re “there” too. 🙂 Thank you so much for sharing about yourself and your process. I had the pleasure of sitting and talking with you during a meal at Heavenly Mtn last week. (We talked about getting divorced and falling apart, among other things.) It really helps to know that I am not alone in being a very sensitive/emotional being who processes a lot on a regular basis.
So please keep expressing yourself! Hopefully I will find the courage to share a bit about my life journey too.
Regards,
Jeanne
