·         " Devices for Bio-Energy Measurement and Characterization " - Over the past century many devices have been developed to diagnose diseases. Allopathic treatments are based on the assumption that there is something wrong with the organs of the body and so devices were developed to look closely at these organs in order to observe some defect i.e. they are sophisticated imaging systems.  In this presentation we focus on devices to measure and characterize different forms on human bio-energy. We will explore the many forms of energy that the body generates or emits and how they can be used to infer the energetic health of a person. The different principles of operation of these devices will be reviewed.

  Her Holiness Khadro Crystal Chu Rinpoche
Her Holiness Khadro Crystal Chu Rinpoche is the lineage holder and spiritual leader of the Fifth Stage of Black Sect Esoteric Buddhism, the designated successor to His Holiness the late Grandmaster Lin Yun, the CEO of Yun Lin Temple, the Chairman of Taipei Lin Yun Foundation, and an Adjunct Professor at the School of Arts and Letters in San Diego State University. Since the passing of H.H. Grandmaster Lin Yun in August of 2010, Her Holiness Khadro Crystal Chu has led worldwide workshops and classes, lectures, and meditation retreats.
 
Topics of her teachings and lectures include the theory of Ch'i, Feng Shui, holistic healing, Yin-Yang philosophy, applications of I-Ching, divinations, Buddhist teachings, meditation, spiritual and personal growth, sacred transcendental cures, and Chinese folklore. She remains deeply committed to perpetuating the legacy of Black Sect Esoteric Buddhist teachings and practice.
  ·         Black   Sect   B uddhism Feng shui - H.H. Khadro Crystal Chu Rinpoche, the designated successor by H.H. Lin Yun, explains that "Feng Shui deals with the close relationship between one's well-being and his living and working environments. The knowledge of Feng Shui is actually the study of how to eliminate harmful impacts on one's life from the environments, and how to optimize one's life by acquiring comfort and happiness from the environments." The uniqueness of Black Sect Tantric Buddhist Feng Shui theories can be found in H.H. Grandmaster Lin Yun's integration of theory of Ch'i and Feng Shui with healing, spirituality, and sacred transcendental solutions.  As a result, spiritual cultivation is emphasized in order to help practitioners to develop keen intuition and sound judgment of Feng Shui diagnoses and prescriptions when providing Feng Shui reading.

  • Metarobics: A New Paradigm in Tai Chi and Qigong Research and Promotion - Primary attribution of health benefits being due to Qi has been identified as a major barrier in promoting Tai Chi and Qigong to the medical community and general public. Metarobic theory provides a measureable and evidence based approach, noting that these exercises, being neither aerobic nor anaerobic, constitute a new category based on distinct physiological mechanisms of action. Research documents unique effects on blood oxygen saturation, diffusion and oxygen based metabolism, underlying the word "Metarobics." Research supporting benefits for health and chronic diseases will also be presented, including research related to immunity, cancer, heart disease, lung disease, arthritis, and diabetes.

Violet Li   - S t. Louis, M i ss o uri / U nited S tates
Born in Shanghai, China grew up in Taipei, Taiwan and now residing in St. Louis, Missouri, USA, Violet Li always enjoys workouts. She studied yoga, practiced aerobic dance and taught kickboxing. But it wasn't until 2000 that she found her true passion in Tai Chi. Since then, she has spent more than 10,000 hours learning the art both in theory and techniques from many instructors including some masters/grandmasters and also interviewed research scientists, doctors and practitioners to understand the benefits of doing Tai Chi. Her knowledge on Tai Chi and Qigong accelerated when she started to take lessons from Grandmaster Chen Zhenglei, the 11th Chen Style Tai Chi lineage holder, one of the top ten martial art masters in China and the honoree of the Cambridge List of the Most Distinguished Chinese People in the World in 1999. She is extremely grateful for the opportunity to receive the private tutelage from Grandmaster Chen so she is able to understand the very profound knowledge of Tai Chi.

  • "New Breakthroughs! 'Energy' in different forms, including biophotons, DC electricfield, electrical current, physical force/energy or jing"- Our laboratory has shown that Qigong/Tai Chi can produce coordinated increase of the flow of blood and electricity, consistent with the fundamental principle of Traditional Chinese Medicine of "Blood is the mother of Qi". More recent research found that similar effects can also be associated with Yoga and Chinese therapies such as acupuncture, massage, and topical herbal remedies. In cell culture experiments, physiological levels of D.C. electric field can affect the rate and directionality of cellular movement, suggesting a mechanism for affecting health and healing. Our current studies are focused on the physiological effects of modernized energy therapies such as laser acupuncture, acupressure massage, electrical stimulation of acupoints, and far infrared therapy.

"Living an extremely unhealthy life style & taking
numerous medications for arthritis, depression,
and pain . . . then one day while browsing in the
library I discovered a book,  The Complete Idiot's
Guide to T'ai Chi and QiGong
 
. I was so impressed

Now that I am practicing T'ai Chi and QiGong daily
I am off most of my medications. People keep
telling me I look "different" and that I look happy.

Well, I am happy and I feel great!

Thank you! Thank you! Thank you!"
-- Dave Long, Washington
