Theory: What is Chi (Qi)? How can we know it is real?
Qi and Chi, Qigong and Chi, Kung are identical and pronounced the same in China: “chee gong”. Tao is “Dao”. Chi (Qi) means “subtle breath”, not physical breath, but chi still has substance. The Life Force as the personal teacher present to each of us in every moment. Chi Kung (Qigong) as the language of nature, allows us to speak with our teacher, the Chi field. Definition of “mind” as specific functions within the Chi field.

8. Orbit Qigong rhythmically stretches spine, activating a very gentle “kundalini” pulsation that is safe, balanced, yet speeds self-realization. It’s safer than yogic kundalini methods I’ve studied – Orbit is best cure for “kundalini psychosis”.
9. Tao inner alchemy Made Simple & Practical: how the Self naturally evolves by its constant balancing of yin-yang polarities in daily life. The neutral “witness’ space inside Orbit is where spiritual rebirth occurs in Tao alchemical process of “water & fire” (2nd formula, Lesser Kan & Li).

I would like to tell the whole world to get this video
[br]I’m writing to call your attention to my whole-hearted rave about Chi Kung Fundamentals #1 home study course, which I just now posted on our Forum “Tao Speaks!” You might enjoy seeing it, and thanking Michael Winn on my behalf. As my fellow forum members know, I was expected to die at any moment from the severity of my asthma.
[br] [br]I am 68, and also have emphysema, and this video, more than any other source has improved my health, mental and physical, remarkably. I am able to do my own shopping, for the first time in ages, can walk half a mile without creating an emergency for myself, can get around the house and yard without the ski pole I’d relied on. I wish I was a faster learner, but this has been so amazing. Thank you so much! In Tao — Sister (Kate Hawthorne)
[br] [br]Sister Kate’s review of Michael Winn’s Five Animals Do Six Healing Sounds, from Tao Speaks! Forum:
[br] [br]Each animal play has a particular emotional problem it is expected to dispel. In his system, Tiger (white, lungs, cloud) dispels grief; Bear (blue, kidneys, ocean) dispels fear; Deer (green, liver, vegetation) dispels anger; Crane (red, heart, fire) dispels self-judgment; and Monkey (yellow, spleen, sun) dispels worry. Interesting to me, because from the emotional perspective, this lists problems I have had, in order of severity, AND it lists the exercises, for me, in order of difficulty.
[br] [br]I had no problem with Tiger and Bear. Deer is very awkward for me. Crane! you have to stand briefly on one leg and then the other for this, and I have always had a problem with balance, which has worsened radically in recent months.
[br] [br]Well, first I was able MIRACULOUSLY to improve my balance very much, THEN I was able to release self-judgment, and THEN I was able to do the Crane reasonably well, at least for a brief period. As to Monkey, tonight was the first time I was able to do it at all, and suddenly it made sense and was easy and fun. Leaving me still with Deer, in the middle, residual anger to shed.
[br] [br]I am so happy about all of this, and I would like to tell the whole world to get this video and do these exercises. I have NEVER had any medicine so therapeutic in my life. I have been bursting with this, and that’s why I just had to post it. Happy, happy, hopeful of attaining true Qi in one lifetime.�
[br] [br]Sister (Kate Hawthorne) –
[br] [br]I just forgot about my asthma, and it started to disappear like magic!
[br] [br]I had asthma problems. I tried doctors, yoga, etc. nothing helped. I took Chi Kung Fundamentals from Michael Winn. The guy got me laughing and moving and breathing like I never had before. He was great. I just forgot about my asthma, and it started to disappear like magic! Later, I taught my mother the Six Healing Sounds. She is pushing 75. This boosted her like a rocket, and a lot of her pains went away. Amazing stuff! Powerful!!!!

[br] [br]Michael Winn is a modern sage.
[br] [br]His Fundamentals 1-4 is an encyclopedia of knowledge and he presents it with extreme clarity. If you want to study qigong or just learn about how energy functions in your body-mind, study with Michael.
[br] [br]Grateful Student – Illinois
[br] [br]Succinct, comprehensive, consistent explanation of Daoist (Taoist) thinking
[br] [br]I have been studying tai chi for 13 years, first yang style, then chen, then began doing chi kung almost exclusively after studying with Grandmaster Feng in Illinois in August 2000. During these years of practice, I have gathered bits and pieces of information about energy development, daoist thinking, and modes of practice (sitting, standing, forms, etc.).
[br] [br]What has been missing for me is the big picture, a way to put it all together, that is presented to me in a way that I, an English-speaking westerner, can understand. In your workshops, which I�ve just taken in fall 2002, you have provided me with this missing piece. Here is what keeps me coming back:
[br] [br]1. Succinct, comprehensive, consistent explanation of Daoist (Taoist) thinking. I have tried to get this from my Chinese teachers, and could just never before (primarily due to language barriers & cultural differences) see how it all hung to gether (yin-yang theory, five phases etc).
[br] [br]2. Explanation of the “why” and the “how” of the physical practices. For years I have heard, “focus on your dan tien”…. but I never understood why or how. I am now able to feel movement in and through my dan tien that I have never felt before. Your portal concept was revolutionary for me!
[br] [br]3. Simple movement practices that give quick access to practices such as the microcosmic orbit. I have been practicing the orbit for a few years now, but after learning your form in Chi Kung Fundamentals, I can feel the orbit much more clearly, have a better understanding of what was blocking it before, and how to unblock, also a better understanding of how to teach it to others.
[br] [br]There is much more that I could say, but this is a good start.
[br] [br]I’m really glad to have someone of your teaching ability who is willing to share!!

[br] [br]Fundamentals 1-4 at Heavenly Mountian was Best Retreat I Ever Had
[br] [br]Taking the Fundamentals 1-4 at Heavenly Mountian in the Blue Ridge Mtns of North Carolina was a great experience. I’m very impressed with the energy that was there, and what was generated by all our practice. I wish I had known about Qigong 20 years ago. The food was great, and the people there were quite interesting. It was better than any vacation I’ve ever had.
[br] [br]It is hard to pinpoint exactly what I liked the most, because the experience got progressively better with each passing day. I was so filled with Qi that I didn’t sleep long at night, perhaps only 3-4 hours, yet I never felt better! The Microcosmic Orbit started occuring spontaneously on its own which was very interesting.
[br] [br]Some of my experiences include the opening of the Dan Tien (with pulsations back and forth all over the place), the hormonal and energy rush from the Bone Breathing, the feeling of having a 6 inch bubble of Qi rush up my spine after doing the Feldenkrais and back-neck stretching, doing the most energetic 5 Animals (as a group) that I’ve ever experienced, and the vast internal openness after doing the Ocean Sky and Great Heart Breathing was awesome.
[br] [br]With all that said, I now think after looking back the the Inner Smile Meditations were the high points. I have in the past seriously underestimated the power of that meditation form.
[br] [br]Wednesday morning when we did the Inner smile was the most profound.
[br] [br]My Dan Tien opened up and I saw what looked like a worm hole coming out of it, with a gold ball circulating around the opening. As it continued to expand I saw the virtues coming out from the opening, love, kindness, strength, integrity, trust, etc.
[br] [br]The opening grew so large as to fill my field of vision, and then two gold balls circulated about the opening. I could see a field of stars in the portal, and then a deep black emptyness. A very gentle and kind voice said, that I wasn’t quite ready for the next level yet, but that after a few months of experience, just a few, that I would be ready to move on.
[br] [br]I think I’ll keep practicing the Fundamentals……. I’ll be glad to go back to heavenly Mountain next summer. Please share with your staff that the retreat facilities, food, and energy was great there.
[br] [br]Bob (Florida) –
[br] [br]You Vastly Improved my Martial and Medical Qigong!
[br] [br]I have been practising Shaolin Kung Fu and Tai Chi Chuan for 6 years, so I have a very deep feeling of qi throughout my body and a very wide understanding of martial and medical qigong. Recently, I have been studying your inner smile, 6 healing sounds, microcosmic orbit, chi-self massage, etc. and they are just out of this world.
[br] [br]I have already been practising methods like Yi Jin Jing (Sinew Metamorphosis), 18 lohan hands, and many other methods. However, your methods are unlike these, in that, they work with all the organs and emotions and they do not neglect a single part of the body. It is also so effortless and comfortable.
[br] [br]I am already in very good health (as I am young), but I found that the Healing Dao system has invigorated my life even further than what martial or medical qigong has to offer. It is with these unique and highly effective methods, especially the macrocosmic orbit, which has helped to improve my martial ability significantly. I wish to express my deepest gratitude.
[br] [br]J.F –
[br] [br]Michael Winn is a Great Tour Guide of your Inner Landscape
[br] [br]I have been changed fundamentally by practicing Michael Winn’s Qigong Fundamental methods; it’s been a return Home for me.
[br] [br]I’ve been practicing martial arts on and off for 33 years – Judo, Karate, Tae kwon do, Kung Fu, and Tai chi. Each provided a piece of the puzzle, but none satisfied the deep yearning I’ve feeling since I was young. Most martial arts schools during my search had a feeling of secretive distortion of an underlying truth.
[br] [br]Michael Winn has actually succeeded in translating into reality the Taoist practices for westerners. The process requires an awareness of the significant differences in physiology, diet, world outlook, and lifestyle between China and the West. Michael very successfully bridges this very difficult divide. Michael Winn demystifies the obscure without diminishing the Mystery.
[br] [br]His approach is not a dumbing down of esoterica for westerners. It is a deeply heartfelt offering of a great teacher. Using the qigong & inner alchemy methods he teaches, I have learned how to increase my energy levels, to relieve stress, and to deepen my awareness of my Self, and of All That Is. I look forward to a lifetime of discovery along the Way. If you are looking for the same, I can�t recommend him highly enough.
[br] [br]Growling tiger, Playful monkey; his smiling Five Animals Qigong guided me on a tour of my inner landscape. Take a trip to your inner jungle and learn to tap into the power inherent in your Self. Whether you�re a beginner, or a lifelong searcher, Michael Winn has something to offer you. I highly recommend his dvd�s and retreats!

Time Frame for Learning These Practices

[br]Time Frame: Do the Fundamentals #1 Inner Smile, Five Animal/Six Healing sounds practices for 100 days. Your health and life will be totally transformed. When you feel comfortable, add Fundamentals #2 practices. This is a conservative estimate for home study. Each individual progresses at a unique pace. Time frame may be affected by personal nature, health issues, your openness to subtle energy, and amount of time spent practicing.
[br] [br]Those who take a Healing Tao retreat or workshop, with its live transmission, may progress much faster. Live work with a group adds momentum to your chi experience. But in either case there still is needed a period of “digestion”, in which your awareness of energy channels and vital organ intelligence stabilizes and become functional in daily life.
[br] [br]The rule of thumb is to experiment with a new method until you feel you “own the practice’. This means it is inside you, you can tap it anytime, it feels comfortable and familiar. It’s become a tool, you can use it when needed. You do NOT need to “master” or “perfect” these practices before adding or shifting to the next course. Mastery is a continuous, lifelong process. Please, don’t use “lack of mastery” as an excuse not to try the next method. I am still mastering these practices – after 25 years!
[br] [br]China’s two oldest shamanic forms of qigong, Five Animals & Six Healing Sounds – are combined by Michael Winn into one simple super-powerful form with immediate health benefits! The Inner Smile taps the power of a universal and effortless natural human instinct. Yet it’s also a skill: are you ready to smile your way to enlightenment? Profound treasures to enjoy your entire life.
[br] [br]Every spiritual system – from Buddhism to yoga to Native American – has a Five Element theory underlying it (some use 4 elements + center). But most don’t teach you how to directly experience the 5 elements in your body as five intelligent streams of biological, psychological, & spiritual consciousness. That’s why you’ll love this course – it puts you directly in touch with your core operating system. You will quickly begin to feel both embodied and empowered!
[br] [br]I invite you to learn the ancient Tao secrets of circulating the internal golden light (chi, or qi) up the spine and down the body’s front channel. This famous “Embryonic Breathing” or “Micro-Cosmic orbit” meditation is mentioned in texts 2000 years old. It restores health to the body and soul by balancing our overall energy flow.
[br] [br]It also stops energy leaks from the body. It does all this by balancing all your meridians and energy centers into a single “wheel of chi” spiraling around your body. To use a yogic term, the orbit creates a single unified spinning chakra, Sanskrit for wheel. There are tremendous health benefits, and its lays the energetic foundation for true spiritual progress.
[br] [br]This method of circulating chi in the Micro-Cosmic orbit is so famous that many different techniques have been developed in China over the millennia to make it easier for the adept to develop this harmonious yin-yang chi flow. I give the ten major methods I have found, integrated into a single guided meditation. From this you can choose the technique(s) most suited to you and develop them further. I explain the deep relationship between the Orbit and the Taoist alchemy theory of how jing-chi-shen-wu (essence – energy – intelligence -openness) transmute into each other.
[br] [br]I also give an 11th method, a still quite secret neigong (internal meditative qigong) method from Wu Dang Mountain. Wudangshan is the mystical mountain in central China from which many martial and meditative Tao arts originate (made famous by the recent film, Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon). This 11th method is particularly powerful at mixing the blood and chi within the Human body. (This method is not on the video, or in the ebook (apart from theory). It is only on the audio, as I have pledged to transmit the details of the practice orally. I offer a short practice adapted for modern people. The longer version is part of the “macrocosmic orbit” taught in Fusion of Five Elements 3.
[br] [br]The orbital flow of chi is the safest method to open your kundalini warm current and activate the healing power of the “inner elixir” – your own sexual and soul essence crystallized into a tangible form. Do not confuse this with yogic kundalini methods in India that activate only the spinal-fire channel, and sometimes lead to imbalances. The Tao process balances and harmonizes the seemingly polarized forces of Heaven and Earth, male and female, yang and yin, fire and water, and thereby creates a vessel for the hidden third force of the Tao, the Original Breath (yuan chi).
[br] [br]Blood and chi are the fundamental yin-yang essences within humans that correspond to Earth and Heaven. When they are harmonized, our Original Self (Yuan Shen) can emerge from our deep subconscious and take substance. This is also the beginning of the True Inner Smile meditation, where your Inner Presence radiates effortlessly (wu wei), and your soul unfolds its chi spontaneously, and continuously!
[br] [br]This audio course also has verbal instructions that complement and deepen the video instructions for the movement portion of this training. The audio has questions and answers about practice and much greater depth of both theory and practice than the DVD. But the DVD allows you to visually capture the feeling of the five simple chi kung movements that will open chi flow in your orbit and give you many other healing benefits of China’s “miracle exercise”.
[br] [br]So I strongly recommend you get the package of audio + dvd. You will have the complete training and save a lot of money by getting the package. This custom chi kung form I developed after practice with many masters, adapting the best and most powerful movements I found and applying them to the particular process of opening chi flow in the orbit.
[br] [br]This powerful set of five qigong (chi kung) movements increases chi flow in the Governor (spine) and Conception (front) Vessels. Rhythmical body movement is particularly useful in dissolving unconscious energy blocks and to balance yin-yang flow in all meridians. This qigong (chi kung) form was developed over twenty five years of teaching students the microcosmic orbit. After chi kung practice, you simply relax, do nothing, and simply neutrally witness the flowing chi.
[br] [br]I developed this qigong (chi kung) form after observing that westerners have such powerful “monkey minds” that they use too much mental force. They over effort in meditating upon the pathways of the orbit. This is basically a reflection of the over-controlling nature of western minds. It creates frustration and sense of failure, for the chi would stop flowing in the orbit after they ceased their mental effort. Using chi kung movements to open the orbit BYPASSES the ego mind and its struggles. Body movement gets the chi flowing at a deeper level of substance (jing) than western type visualization by the mental body can achieve.
[br] [br]I love this qigong (chi kung) form. It will relax your body, keep the spine flexible, and develops healing hands. It marries the chi of Heaven and Earth. It opens the difficult front (chest) channel, where a lot of emotional chi gets stuck. It’s easy to learn – you can feel the chi flow in a few minutes! I have many students who have been struggling for years to open the orbit unsuccessfully. When they relax their mind and let their body movements guide the chi, it then opens powerfully for them.
[br] [br]This day long workshop lays the foundation for learning Taoist sexual practices. It is a PRE-REQUISITE – without opening the orbit, your sexual energy has no easy and safe path to flow in. So this is the FAST method for guiding your wild sexual impulses into useful spiritual pathways of creativity.
