I have a pretty sensitive BS barometer. I've been to tai chi and chi gong classes and attended…read moremeditation classes and usually was turned off by teachers who I felt did not walk the talk and came off as being inauthentic and phony (okay, maybe my bs barometer is too sensitive....) I first saw Mingtong Gu at Spirit Rock meditation center in Woodacre. I was desperately seeking a way to manage a disorder I have that causes unexpected and unpredictable vertigo spells and was reaching the end of my rope. As I was sitting waiting for the workshop to begin, Mingtong appeared next to me and flashed me a bright, genuine smile. I found it hard to believe this was the "grand master", but as he took the stage and began to speak, I saw that in fact he was all he had been described to be and more. I was blown away, not so much by the practice, but by Mingtong's presence, his sense of humor, his joy, his patience, and an inner beauty that is infectious. His wife Lingling is equally gifted, and together they have brought a wonderfully powerful healing practice to the Bay Area and beyond. After my two day workshop at Spirit Rock, I signed up for a 12 day retreat in Santa Rosa. I had never been on a retreat before and have never been serious about any practice. I'm basically a slug and would rather watch Real Housewives of New Jersey than dedicate myself to a regular practice of anything. Yet, I was infected by the enthusiasm that Mingtong brings to his teachings. I have made a commitment to doing 3 hours of practice every day, but find myself doing more, as practice involves not only physical exercise, but also visualizations, sound healing, and listening to CDs of Mingtong and Lingling. I feel happier and more grounded than I have ever felt in my life. I have not had a vertigo attack in two weeks and am confident that through this practice I will find total health and wholeness. If you are dealing with a terminal or incurable illness, I highly recommend signing up for one of Mingtong's intensive retreats where you will find a practice and a community of support that will change your life. However, even if you feel you are healthy, I still recommend doing one of his retreats. You will find wisdom and healing and access to an unlimited source of energy and joy. I can only give Mingtong 5 stars because that is the maximum, but he actually deserves a Milky Way full of stars.

I've been attending The Chi Center's online classes which boost my vitality and spirit. Sometimes…read moreI do a part of a recorded one (ie 10 -20 minutes of ) as I have time. Other times, I don't want to stop, and I participate for over an hour, as it effects me in such a positive way. Unlike allopathic medicine which sometimes seems to focus on what's wrong, QiGong focuses on acceptance, so that one can naturally increase what is right. It incorporates sound work which releases trapped energy in organs, movement, and heart expansion. I appreciate the January Thank You Gift series for a new year, but I'm not sure I can still find all of them on Youtube. There was one in particular which was done on January 13th, in which Ming Tong does healing while one is resting. This is particularly good for one who wants to increase their energy in order to do more. Thank you so much to Mater Ming Tong Gu and the Chi Center.
