Hi bruce,
you wrote:
“she was also one of the main students of a person called Guo Lin, who was known as one of the big qigong/chi gung cancer doctors.”

do you refer to Guo Lin, Born near Zhongshan, Guangdong in 1909, an artist and cancer victim from Guangdong province who had cured herself by practicing qigong during the 1960s?

Qigong practice–mainly standing post meditation–helped me immensely in my successful battles with four bouts of supposedly terminal bone lymphoma cancer in the early nineties. It calmed my mind–taking me out of the fight-or-flight syndrome, which pumps adrenal hormones into the system that could interfere with healing. It energized my body at a time when I couldn’t do Western exercise such as weight-lifting or jogging–the chemo was too fatiguing. And it empowered my will and reinforced it every day with regular practice. In other words, I contributed to the healing process, instead of just depending solely on the chemo and the doctors. Clear 14 years and still practicing!

Yes. Structurally it is taoist, technically it is buddhist because it came out of the shaolin temple.

It was very very clearly part of taoist qigong which got incorporated into the shaolin temple.

I read that Dragon & Tiger Chi Gung is not a Taoist form of Chi Gung. Any truth to this? Regardless, Im looking forward to recieving the Instruction manual and finally begininng to build a solid foundation in one particular Chi Gung style.

I learned Dragon and Tiger from your book, and after a couple of weeks I could clearly feel qi moving through my body when doing those forms. After more weeks of practice, I had a very tangible feeling of qi movement, which really increased the quality of my other practices!

I have no idea what Guo Lin Family Qigong is. My website will tell you what Dragon and Tiger is about. If Guo Lin was a more traditional form of Qigong I would have most likely heard about it. Many forms of qigong have been created in the past 20 years. People cobble them together, the way people combine 3 karate styles together and call it a new style with a new name. I am not familiar with this particular form of Qigong so I cannot comment on it.

I look forward to the DVD. Learned this from you back in 1987 or so. Remember some of the exercises a little differently from their description in the manual so I am looking forward to the actual video for a comparison

Mr. Frantzis,
I have been studying chi gung for about 6 months and I love it. I have several of your books and cannot wait for Dragon and Tiger DVD. Thank you for sharing this art with us.
