Question 1

How long does it take a new student to attain a chi kung state of mind and a chi flow?

— George, USA

Answer

Because of my skills to transfer the attainment of a chi kung state of mind and a chi (or energy) flow to new students, they can attain both the chi kung state of mind and a chi flow within the first hour.

In my early years of teaching about 40 years ago (in 1980s), they could attain a chi kung state of mind and a chi flow in a few months. This was very fast. Most people could not attain a chi kung state of mind; they only performed gentle, physical exercise using external chi kung forms.

But I have about 100 classes a year; most masters have their classes follow them. So I have a lot of opportunities to transmit the skills to new students, especially when I differentiated between skills and techniques. Most masters do not differentiate between skills and techniques; they resume that if they follow the techniques they will achieve the result.

By attaining a chi kung class, either regional or intensive, new students can attain a chi kung state of mind and generate a chi flow within the first hour. "A chi kung state of mind" was coined by the great Sifu Yan Xin of China. It is known in English as entering into a high state of consciousness.

Entering into a chi kung state of mind is very important. Otherwise, chi kung practitioners practice gentle, physical exercise using external chi kung forms, and they normally do not realize it.

Question 2

Why is generating a chi flow fast?

— Chen, Hong Kong

Answer

A chi (or energy) flow is the essence of chi kung.

Many people take a long time to generate a chi flow, a matter of years. Most people cannot generate a chi flow. They have not entered into a chi kung state of mind. They practice chi kung as gentle, physical exercise, and they are unaware of it.

A good analogy is Taijiquan, usually written as "Tai Chi Chuan" in English. They have no internal force which contributes to good health, and they cannot use their Taijiquan patterns for combat.

Answer

How is Oman?

When I was there, Sippie took us to a desert where we had Arabian night. I also learned that. once a year there was a big flood.

Not all deserts are the same. It was interesting to see the white sand of Dubai changing into brown rocks in Oman.

Question 4

Now the sisters are also enjoying Taijiquan practice. The other picture is of me as one of the Recipient of Sabah 100 Women of Inspiration Award year 2020/2021.

Question 5

May I wish you and your family a very happy and prosperous Chinese New Year.

It had been 2 years that I have not being able to visit you for the new year celebration due to the disease. In fact you were very right to advise me to avoid physical meeting as the covid 19 pandemic has not been over yet.

— Dr Foong Tuck Meng, Jalan Kuchai Lama, Holistic Health Cultivation Centre, Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia

Answer

Simu and I have been very well.

I always give health and happiness to other people. It is one of the best things that can happen to everybody, and you too are the same.

Hence, I ask you to bring health and happiness to others in your noble effort to save the world, especially in curing so-called "incurable" diseases.

Question 6

It seems that it is getting worst over the CNY celebration. Many people in the world are seriously affected by the covid 19. I just wonder what could we do as Shoalin practitioners to help people during this trying time.

Sifu, may be you could advise whether it is wise to offer people to learn chi kung free of charge online? Or just leave it and let the incident take it course? Look forward to hear from you and thank you in advance for your advice.

Answer

While in Malaysia the disease has hit over 9 thousand, it will soon be over. The world will be open and business is back to normal.

While you still carry on your business, you will focus on giving health and happiness to others, especially in maintaining good health. The super-rich can easily afford and you will prosper.

You should not offer chi kung free of charge. The super-rich have to pay for it, which they can easily afford. It is nice to revert to maintaining health, and performing chi kung every day is an effective way to maintain health. The Holistic Health Culturation Centre will become very famous.

Question 7

I still practice Iron Wire daily. Now it has been almost 13 years with seldom breaks in daily training of the Iron Wire set. I've seen many benefits, too many to name.

— Corwyn, USA

Answer

13 years with seldom breaks is quite some time. You may be "Thiet Kiew Sam the Second".

Question 8

Should I continue to practice getting my right arm at the same level of force as my left?

Answer

It is alright if your left arm and your right arm are at the same level of power. Things are quite different now. In the past, masters did not train their left arm because they might cause harm unconsciously.

To get your right hand at the same level as your left is to train. Try this. Train your left hand, say, 5 times. Train your right hand 10 times. Then compare the two hands.

You can benefit much if you attain my Intensive Shaolin Kungfu Course and readd The Wonderful Intensive Shaolin Kungfu Course. Because of the world lockdown, I don't know when I can offer this course, but you can access my website.
