Unravel the mystery of the Spirit, Mind and Body connection

An Amplified Light Hearted Attitude creates a very tangible & physical way to feel the difference between your body & your spirit.

 Are we in a competitive mind or lighthearted mind towards our recreation or profession?  Answering this question reveals our beliefs and attitudes which drive our experience and our results. 

There is a way to train for only 5 to 10 minutes a day with an easy to use, low aerobic impact method that is good for young & old alike.   Performing these specially designed exercises yield specific results that are easy to see & feel. 

The results reduce stress, build the immune system, promote restful sleep, and create a “better state of mind” while enjoying great health and a relaxed, motivated attitude with energy to spare.  This leads you to a discernable “physical spiritual” awareness.

There are “3” Main Concepts in these exercises that are the key!

1. You must exercise with a light playful relaxed attitude.

Prepare to calm the mind and body “always train with a great attitude…for your amplifying your emotional state”.

Create the mood with soft inspirational music

Shut off the cell phone

Create a quiet place

Create a comfortable setting

Burn a candle or incense

Put on comfortable cotton clothing and have bare feet

Focus the mind on the breath or a relaxing thought then begin the exercise.  Soften (yin) the mind down into a low alpha state” like after a good glass of wine.

2. You must exercise with a cool body and mind

Why stay cool?  Cool attracts & heat repels and we want to attract good things into our lives.

You are moving bio-electricity when performing the exercise with emotional content.  When any type of electricity passes through objects of density it creates heat buildup.  You need to cool the physical response to this build up of heat while retaining the buildup of chi energy.  There are several ways in which to train the mind and body to stay cool.

3. You must exercise with the sensitivity of a child to build up a “pressure and density” in the physical body.

Remember your speeding the blood and chi throughout the body (pressure and density increase the amount of chi energy allowing for attraction & good health).  Coupled with other Chi Energy exercises you will dramatically increase your chi energy’s density and pressure. 

You’re strengthening and elongating the body’s nerve fibers which create larger amounts of chi energy.  As an example, your nerve fibers grow from a small garden hose to a T1 to T3 fiber network building more chi for increased communications throughout body’s nervous system.

This sensitivity exercise promotes the growth of nerve fibers to carry higher amounts of chi bio electric energy in the body’s neurological system.   This creates a flow that directs chi energy into a left to right rotation.   The chi energy exercises create an internal flow exactly like that of the three dimensional universe.  These bio-electric sub-atomic particles are what we call chi energy.   The result is a balanced state of homeostasis in the body’s immune system, which produce healthy vital organs and a healthy endocrine system.

It may take you a couple of times and when you first start you may not feel the energy.  Continue to do it anyway!  Just because your body is not sensitive doesn’t mean it’s not there.  There is a lot of bio-electricity flowing inside of your body you use bio-energy unconsciously all day long These chi exercises help you to direct your bio-energy on a conscious level.

Forget the bills, the cat, the dog, your mother, your husband\wife\boy or girl friend, what you’re going to eat for lunch, “whatever”.  Just have patience and give yourself the “Gift of Health and Well Being”. 

In conclusion, I promise you’ll never turn back once you’ve gotten in the groove.  It’s a euphoric and pleasurable experience to live in this blessed way.  So if you want to control & focus your mind, create more energy, control your weight, your health, your sugar intake, whatever it is — it will all come to pass. 

Have faith, and mentor with teacher Cindy Cicero, for she’ll motivate you, kindly adjust your attitude, and inspire you to keep going back to the exercises till it takes over with the desired changes that you want.

It always takes initial effort, but the results you’ll experience are what we call “living the good life”.

I am sure that everyone had such experience when someone tells you something or you read something and you realize that chunks of information you knew before and some of your own experiences suddenly stick together, like a pieces of a puzzle, and line up in a solid theory. Actually, this is how most of theories are born: there are some facts and scientists are trying to explain them. Well, something like that had happened to me when Sifu Cicero told me about importance of cool in the Chi system she is teaching.

First, from my childhood years I knew that in order to not get sick with respiratory illnesses – cool showers are a simple natural and effective tool. Those who swim outside year around – go even further in strengthening their immune system. Some people even take "bath" in ice-holes – ice or winter swimmers. This method is proven and nobody argues its benefits and effectiveness. The key-word here is "cool".

Another thing everyone has heard about: cryogenics, cryobiology, cryonics, etc. – different applications of low temperatures in physics, biology, medicine and other fields. Some of us have heard about cryotherapy or cryogenic chamber therapy, while the vast majority at least has used a simple ice pack on an injured area of the body to reduce inflammation.

Next, we all have read about different prehistoric animals had been recovered from the solid piece of ice, like that baby mammoth in Siberia: it is cold who prevented them from decomposing. In the same area lie science fiction stories and real life experiments for cryostasis – the reversible cryopreservation of live biological objects: when someone was frozen for a hundred or more years and then was thawed up and continued normal biological activity.

In fact, we all know that cold preserves organic tissues: everyone is using refrigerators and freezers to prevent food from spoiling.

Thus, when Sifu Cicero had told me how important to be cool in the system she is teaching – I cannot say I was too much surprised: a little – yes, because my previous Sifu was always talking about heat, feeling heat, increase heat, and I thought "Chi is heat", while different Chi Gong systems are simply using different methods and exercises to make this heat (read Chi) stronger. Now I know that Chi can be hot and can be cool. I know that hot Chi can hurt, not only those on whom it is applied, but also the applicant himself. I also know that cool Chi is much safer: any Chi if used in a wrong way can hurt the practitioner, but you can thaw up if you freeze, and if you burned – that’s it.

So, all said above is very well fits in a theory that cool is good for our physical bodies, for our health (in terms of modern western medicine).

Another aspect of cool that Sifu Cicero had told me: it is necessary to increase sensitivity, and sensitivity is “a must” in Chi training. At first it seems strange: we all know that when we are getting too cold – we stop feeling in the areas of our bodies that are frozen – they get numb. However, adding another factor to that claim (which is definitely applicable to me and most likely to the majority of people) – there is too much inflammation in our bodies, too much heat, which "burns" our nerves and such reduces our sensitivity – I had to agree that my sensitivity will increase along with me cooling down. I am too hot – this is why I can't feel strong enough – I need to cool down to reduce the heat level in me (it is still a long way until I reach that degree of cool when sensitivity is going down again, and also pretty much unreachable: when I get sensitive enough, I simply will know when to stop).

So, cool is good for Chi training, and strong Chi – is health (in terms of eastern medicine).

Finally, the sociological/psychological factor: who does not want to be considered "cool"? Some may claim that they don't: well, maybe in a narrow understanding of this modern term. I don't mean tattoos, leather outfit, weird haircut, outrageous behavior and thing of this nature. Nobody wants to be ignored: by family members, co-workers, managers, sales people and so on – everybody wants to be respected in some way or another, which pretty much means to be "cool" in a broader sense. Cool down your thoughts, get rid of hatred, arrogance, try to always remember "if you argue with an idiot – he is doing the same thing too".

If anything can be added to the pool of arguments about usefulness of being cool – it will only sustain the idea of "cool = good".

Qigong is the way!
