CHI KUNG (qigong) means "energy work," the ancient Chinese yogic art that cultivates man's intrinsic internal energy, or vital life force--which the Chinese call "chi" (qi). For centuries, Qigong has been practiced for healing, rejuvenation and longevity—and is also the secret engine that empowers the Chinese martial arts and healing arts to supernormal efficacy. Chi Kung For Health is a ground-breaking new DVD series by Terry Dunn that teaches the very rare and powerful "Flying Phoenix Heavenly Healing Chi Meditations"--a remarkable system of medical qigong created more than 400 years ago by a legendary Taoist sage, Feng Tao Teh, who resided at Ehrmei Mountain (Omeishan) in Szechuan Province and traveled throughout the China's western frontier and Tibet during his lifetime. This rare and powerful meditative art has been carefully preserved through six generations of an impeccable Taoist martial arts lineage, is now available to the public--as a precise, safe, and dynamic program for natural health, healing and illumination. Flying Phoenix is a complete classical system of medical Qigong--comprised of standing and seated, stationary and moving exercises— that imparts profound health benefits: improved circulation, respiration, metabolism, skeletal strength, neuromuscular function and immunity. This seven-volume video series is beautifully filmed by Mike Hoover in Death Valley, California. Terry Dunn’s expert, step-by-step instruction is enhanced by multiple camera angles and accompanied by transcendent musical scores by Robert Scott Thompson. The Flying Phoenix Qigong is an ideal exercise for beginners and adepts alike because its exercises are simple and fool-proof, can be practiced without the supervision of a Qigong master, and yet they impart profound energizing and rejuvenating effects. (Flying Phoenix Qigong is also an excellent complement to Tai Chi practice, while being considerably easier to learn and practice.) Terry Dunn's Chi Kung For Health DVD series presents complete instruction in this authentic Ehrmei Mountain Qigong that facilitates splendid health and longevity, and serves as an invaluable ground of experience by which one can understand and evaluate all methods of yoga and meditation. The first breath of this Qigong practice will demonstrate the truth behind its illustrious and transcendental Chinese name. "Because of the great interest in Qigong in the west, it is important to have bona fide teachings by bona fide teachers. Too often students wind up learning a little bit of this form and a little bit of another, while never learning any complete system. This series is a good example of a serious and gifted instructor who offers a complete system of healing qigong to the serious student." -- Tolala Tower, Editor, The Empty Vessel - Journal of Contemporary Taoism.

| Chi Kung For Health, Volume One: Volume One teaches five basic standing meditations of the Flying Phoenix Celestial Healing Chi Mediation system. Through these basic Flying Phoenix standing meditations, Terry Dunn teaches the three cornerstones of qigong: Shape-form (Xing), Mind or Intent (Yi), and Breath-energy (Chi) method. The first three standing meditations focus qi development at three tan tiens (chakras or energy centers): “Monk Gazing At Moon” at the upper tan tien (third eye or brow chakra), “Monk Holding Peach” at the middle tan tien (heart chakra), “Monk Holding Pearl” at lower tan tien. These are followed by two dynamic moving meditations that concentrate qi and circulate it through the body: “Bending the Bows” opens and closes the body and mind in synchronicity with nature, mustering energy from the extremities and channeling it into the Conception Vessel (Jen Mo) and Governing Channel (Tu Mo); “Wind Above the Clouds” uses five easy and elegant bending and stretching movements to perfect physical balance and flexibility, strengthening the waist, opening the hips, regulating qi flow to the legs and arms, and ultimately develops frictionless movement of energy.

| Chi Kung For Health, Volume Two: Terry Dunn teaches six basic meditations of the Flying Phoenix Celestial Healing Qigong, a subset called Monk Serves Wine. Exercises one through three are simple but powerful preparatory meditations that instantly mobilize qi in the upper body and bring it into awareness. Each exercise begins with a short breath-control sequence. Exercises
four through six consist of simple and elegant sequences of natural
upper body movements done in the half-lotus position. Each is performed
with total relaxation in set of seven repetitions following a
breath-control sequence. The Flying Phoenix seated exercises develop
control over basic energy pathways governed by eyes, mind, movement and
breath, and ultimately bring all organ functions under the regulation
of the subconscious mind. The most common reaction of practitioners
upon doing these meditative exercises for the first time is that they
"cannot believe a human being invented these exercises." (60

| Chi Kung For Health, Volume Three: In this volume, Terry Dunn provides instruction in two intermediate standing meditations of the Flying Phoenix Qigong system: “Wind through the Treetops” and “Moonbeam Splashes On Water.” Both exercises impart sublime energizing effects. “Wind Through the Treetops” promotes tangible Qi circulation in the three orthogonal planes: first, through the body’s vertical core with two cycles of inward circling; second, as the torso is brought to horizontal position by bending forward, arm movements synchronize with chi circulation in the manner of “Turning the Wheel” (as Qi flows up the Governing Vessel and down the Conception Vessel); when the torso is reclined backward to 45 degrees, the chi activates slow outward circling of the arms that finally return to the anterior of the body at the level of the liver and kidneys. Then the Qi is lifted, lowered and concentrated in the middle and lower tan tien through the thrusting channel. “Moonbeam Splashes on Water” is a powerful and beautiful meditation form that musters the Flying Phoenix healing energy and circulates it through the entire body. Terry teaches this form in three sections. The first section trains waist flexibility and control and the alignment of upper and lower body joints in movement. The second section promotes chi circulation in through Tai Chi-like martial postures similar to “Press” “Push,” and “Fan Through the Back.” This is followed by the third section, which circles the body’s vertical axis through a conical pattern with the root fixed as the apex.

Chi Kung For Health, Volume Four: Volume
Four teaches the Advanced Long Form Meditation called the Flying
Phoenix Celestial Healing Chi Meditation, which is the capstone of the
entire Flying Phoenix Celestial Healing Qigong system. Terry Dunn
provides detailed, step-by-step, expert instruction in this 20-minute
form, which is similar to a Tai Chi form in terms of choreographic
complexity. Dunn organizes the instruction of this form into six
sections, repeats each section four times, and demonstrates the entire
Form at the end of the program. Daily practice of this meditation form insures impeccable good health and long-term vitality, and can replace practice of the basic Flying Phoenix meditations of Volumes One through Three. This form is practiced three times slower than typical Tai Chi form speed. Developing proficiency in the exercises of Volumes 1, 2 and 3 is recommended before beginning this training. (60 min.) 29.95

Chi Kung For Health, Volume Five: Terry Dunn teaches five standing short-form "Flash" meditations of the Flying Phoenix Celestial Healing Qigong system. These exercises are remarkable in that each requires only 90 seconds to perform and need only be done once. Short and simple in movement, these exercises are easy-to-do like the basic exercises of Volume One, but their energizing effects are more powerful and profound--especially when they are practiced after Volumes One through Four have been mastered. Each meditation is the perfect embodiment of LESS IS MORE and exemplifies the sublime power of Taoist alchemic yoga. Each exercise is demonstrated four times and is captured from multiple camera angles. Regular practice of Volumes One, Two, Three, and Four is recommended in order to attain optimum benefit from this training. (60 min.) $29.95

Proficient practice of Volumes One and Two is a recommended before practicing Volume Seven's advanced exercises. (60 min.) *New: This program now finally available on DVD! $34.95
