CHI KUNG (qigong) means "energy work," the ancient Chinese yogic art that cultivates man's internal energy, the vital life force, which the Chinese call "chi." For centuries, Chi Kung has been practiced for healing, rejuvenation and longevity—and as the taproot of all Chinese martial and healing arts. 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 chi kung created more than 400 years ago by a legendary Taoist master, Feng Tao Teh, of the Ehrmei Mountain school. This rare and powerful meditative art has been carefully preserved through six generations of an impeccable Taoist 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 medical Chi Kung system --comprised of standing and seated, stationary and moving exercises—that provides profound tools for health maintenance and spiritual development for the ages. This seven-volume video series is beautifully filmed by Mike Hoover. Terry Dunn’s expert, step-by-step instruction is enhanced by multiple camera angles and accompanied by transcendent musical scores by Robert Scott Thompson. All styles of Chi Kung (qigong) strive to create synergy by combining three functions of the human process: shape-form of the body (Xing), mental focus or intent (Yi), and breath-energy (Qi). A unique and usually secret formula that alchemically combines Xing, Yi and Chi gives rise to each of the numerous styles of Chi Kung, which number in the hundreds. The Flying Phoenix Celestial Healing Meditations feature Feng Tao Teh’s brilliant alchemic methods that cultivate internal energy. Whereas many styles of qigong methods involve breath retention, posture, and extensive use of visualization or mental imagery, the Flying Phoenix requires no visualization whatsoever but rather employs simple breathing formulas, posture, and easy natural movements. Flying Phoenix is extremely simple in its method but is extremely powerful in its energizing and rejuvenating effects and mental cultivation. |

Chi Kung For Health, Volume One: Volume One teaches five basic standing meditations of the Flying Phoenix Celestial Healing Chi Mediation system. Through each exercise, Terry Dunn teaches the three cornerstones of qigong: Shape-form (Xing), Mind or Intent (Yi), and breath (Chi). Three basic quiet standing meditations focus qi development at three corresponding chakras or energy centers: “Monk Gazing At Moon”--the third eye, “Monk Holding Peach”--the heart, “Monk Holding Pearl” --lower tan tien. They are followed by two dynamic moving meditations that concentrate and circulate qi flow through the entire body: “Bending the Bows” musters energy from the extremities and channels it into the Conception Vessel (Jen Mo) and Governing Channel (Tu Mo); and “Wind Above the Clouds” perfects physical balance and flexibility by strengthening the waist, opening the hips, regulating qi flow to the legs and arms by symmetrical bending and stretching movements.

Chi Kung For Health, Volume Two: Terry Dunn teaches six basic meditations of the Flying Phoenix qigong system, 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. Exercises three through six consist of simple 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.

Chi Kung For Health, Volume Three: In Volume Three, Terry Dunn provides instruction in two intermediate standing meditations: “Wind through the Treetops” and “Moonbeam Splashes On Water.” Both exercises impart sublime energizing effects. “Wind Through the Treetops” promotes tangible chi 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 chi 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 chi 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 form that musters and circulates the Flying Phoenix healing energy 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.
