April 2016 | Lasting Transformation

Every year around this time I post quite a bit on FB and my Newsletter about Master Ou Wen Wei coming to Raleigh, and what Pangu Mystical Qi Gong is all about. Most of the time people ignore them or overlook them as "oh that thing again."  I can't blame you.  If some of you have never experienced Qi gong or Qi healing, much less Master Ou, I urge you not to ignore it this time!!!

This practice and deep philosophy of kindness and love has forever and deeply changed my life. And I don't mean like a bubble bath, a couple of stretches or a weekend away would change my life (though all useful and wonderful). I mean an inner transformation that LASTS and continues to grow and expand into a life that I honestly LOVE and can't get enough of. I'm not the kind of person that would keep posting about something new if it didn't work, and I'm not the kind of person who would practice something just because everyone else was doing it. That's not me.

I love learning. Every method has its beauty and benefits. And I can also say that words and intentions, though important, are only half of it. The energy has to follow. And the energy needs a high level of love to create a high level of harmony.

Many of my friends have wondered and remarked, "you always seem so happy and positive, like things are easy for you and it's contagious." Well, that has definitely NOT always been true and isn't necessarily NOW, but this practice brings me more ease, hope, confidence, optimism and contentment each day than I could have ever imagined 12 years ago. I was a depressed, sick, worn out 24 year old during a time when I should have been at the prime of my life. I feel like I was given another chance to bring meaning back into my life.  Master Ou taught me how to love my life.

I'm not going to make any grandiose claims but I will say this is powerful stuff. Powerful, powerful stuff. I have seen miracles. I've seen people completely transform themselves and the lives they live. And what you put into it, if you give it an honest and sincere chance, will surely be returned ten fold. Let me repeat that last part: what you put into it will surely be returned ten fold. I hope you'll give it a try. The small amount you spend is like one visit to the doctor, and I assure you it will be a lifetime of return. A lifetime.

This video is from 2012, in Macau. I'm offering healing through Ancient singing and chanting to 2000 Chinese students. Please send me an email if you can feel the energy and love when you listen. I'd love to hear your experience! Then imagine what it might feel like to learn the Pangu Qi Gong and meet Master Ou. We hope, but certainly cannot guarantee, that Master Ou will continue to come to Raleigh. We are lucky to have such amazing events in our city and I sincerely hope you will take advantage of it.

Listen to Anisha chanting in Macau, offering deep healing!
 

March 2016 | What does it mean to be healthy?

Last month I talked about what it means to love ourselves, our bodies and our hearts. Now I'll ask you a similar question:

What does it mean to be healthy?

A popular answer might be getting enough exercise, proper nutrition and sleep; however, if it stops there, then it's like having a really nice, shiny car with new paint and all new parts, but...there is no gas in it. You can't really go anywhere, and you'll be stuck.

Life Force or Chi (Qi) isn't always recognized in the west because we can't see it. It is an invisible force that feeds and connects all parts of us, establishing the harmony that helps us feel like balanced people. Ancient cultures all knew about this Life Force. The yogis call it Prana, the Chinese call it Qi, the Mayans call it Sastun, and the ancient Greeks called Pnuma.

 

Many western doctors or someone with a purely western mindset or materialistic mindset may not understand certain health conditions holistically, in their entirety, because our illnesses have much more than a physical cause. Our physical issues are directly connected to our Life Force, which is directly connected to our mental and emotional states, which are connected to our soul or spirit. For example, how often are you in a state of anxiety, worry, fear, anger or sadness? It's quite mystical when you think about how many fluctuations we feel in one day. Have you ever thought about where these emotions come from? Where are they produced and what drives them? What makes us shift our emotional state one way or the other? It's also curious that with all this internal shifting, we are constantly given a choice.  And this choice, (depending on whether it's a positive, optimistic, life enhancing choice, or whether it is negative and life-negating), can greatly effect both the quality and quantity of Life Force we have. And this Life Force is the very thing that heals us, that brings cohesion between body and soul. Have you ever heard someone say "Oh yeah, I took this pill this one time and all my illnesses just disappeared"?  It is not, and will never be, that simple. The path and foundation for strong immunity is strong life force. No pill or medicine can ever generate a healthy immune system, no matter how many times you take it.

In my experience, when my emotions are in check and I'm able to shift negative thoughts patterns, I am able to accumulate more Life force from Qi Gong practice and, in turn, I am more likely to have the energy I need to shift my attitude and perspective to a more positive place in the future. And this positive Life Force then directly affects my physical body, giving it fuel and strength. Life force, and our attitudes towards life, though often overlooked or disregarded completely, are often the missing pieces as to why people aren't able to achieve true and lasting health.

Namaste,

February 2016 | Love is a two way street

Valentines Day month is always a reminder to me that loving ourselves and knowing what that actually means is such an important step towards being able to love others.

For starters, do we truly know how to love our bodies? For instance, how do you eat your meals? Or do you even eat when your body needs nourishment? Are you rushing, having a phone conversation and generally attempting to multi-task as you feed yourself? Is this really conducive to absorbing the most nutrition and energy from food? If our minds are not calm and peaceful when we eat then how can our organs be calm and peaceful to absorb life force and goodness from the food?

When we feel discomfort or pain in our body, it means our body is complaining to us, asking us to make some kind of change. And it is certainly not loving us back. Love is a two way street. Our body is complaining to us and if we don't respond with love, then where does that leave us?

Perhaps some of us can care for our bodies in the right way, however, we also need to love our hearts. My dear respected teacher Master Ou Wen Wei told us once that losing our temper one time could reduce our life by one month..ONE MONTH!!! Why? Because a state of anger and frustration depletes our positive energy reserves and then we have less to keep our bodily organ functions running smoothly, which ultimately leads to aging much faster and feeling weak and unhealthy in general. This is true for many negative emotions but anger might be the worst. So next time you feel provoked and that fiery surge rises, think twice, and ask yourself, "is this really worth it?" Take a breath, or two, bite your tongue and make the choice to love yourself instead. Your body and heart will thank you!

Namaste,
Anisha
