From a Lupus Patient to a Veteran of Walking Qigong
March 28th, 2000For Ms. Zhang Shuyun, walking qigong is not just another exercise, it is her means of survival. Visitors to Beijing can meet her in person each day from 8:30 -10:00 a.m. about 300 yards from the east gate of Heaven Temple Park, among many other exercise groups. When Edward Zheng from Oriental Healing of South Jersey met her there in Sept.1998, she was heading a qigong group and was not any different from a healthy person.
Her history is a showcase of long bitter battle between Qigong and chronic diseases. In March 1971, she was admitted into Chaoyan Hospital with diagnosis of systemic lupus erythmatosis (SLE), following a spontaneous abortion, with persistent high fever, blood sedimentation rate >100, abnormal liver function and enlargement, and active lupus cells. She was initially relieved by hormone therapy and discharged after 1 month. SLE recurred in December and was controlled by hormone plus herbs. With the birth to a boy in 1974, her SLE worsened. In 1976, her kidneys were involved and platelet count fell to 20-30k. Life was in grave danger.
Tipped by a neighbor with a book "New Qigong Therapy", Ms. Zhang started to follow Guolin in April 1977. The beginning was not easy, her joint in severe pain, platelets range 30-60k, urine protein +~++, 3T liver function 9 units. After 1 week, her appetite, sleep, and energy improved. Family members were all surprised and rejoiced, and it fortified her determination to carry on the exercise. She practiced so well that she became Guolin's assistant instructor 1 year later.
The improvement was encouraging. In the 1st year, joint pain was gone. Appetite, sleep, and energy restored. The 2nd year, she had no flu, fever, or cough. Even hemorrhoids left her. The 3rd year, her hormone dosage was cut in half, liver size and function turned normal. The 4th year was a harvest year in her own words. Her drug was cut by another half pill. The test showed normal values for all liverfunction, ESR, protein electrophoresis, rossette test, anti-O antibody, blood smear, IgG, and most exciting was the disappearance of lupus cells. The 5th year she finally stopped 10-year old hormone intake. The 6th year, she learned New Five Animal Frolics. After bear frolic, all but one fungal nails healed. After deer frolic, platelet counts lingering between 50-60k for years were normalized. After tiger frolic, nasal and throat dryness, nose bleeding, dry cough all left her. Guolin happily remarked, "Zhang Shuyun can now work again."
However, she stumbled again into a life-death struggle in 1983. Her SLE-damaged kidneys evolved into a full-blown uremia. Her urine protein turned 3-4+, urea nitrogen 55.5 and acidified, white cell counts down to 1k. Hospitalized, drug therapy stopped, she was given blood and plasma transfusion. She saw other uremic patients in the same ward died one after another and felt that her final days were near.
In Jan. 1984, Guolin visited Zhang and enquired about her health condition and Qigong practice. As Guolin learned that Zhang lost practice due to swollen feet, she was very concerned and began teaching Zhang about pickup Qigong: Start with 5 minutes walking Qigong. Increase by 5 minutes each week. Sit outdoors for 1 hour for fresh air each day. Rescue kidneys by various breathing exercise. Natural walking qigong 30 minutes. 1-2-3 Step Qigong 30 minutes. Pickup Gong by this progressive order. Plus 2 Gongs done on the bed. That visit was the last time she saw Guolin, who died from stroke in Dec.1984.
Zhang kept exercise and fully recovered in 1986. She withdrew from drugs and herbs and resumed teaching Qigong in the park. For a total of 23 years, she fought off her diseases with the help of walking Qigong. She is now senior advisor of Beijing branch of walking Qigong society. A videotape of Zhang teaching in Beijing can be viewed in the Oriental Healing office.
It is difficult to evaluate how walking Qigong contributes to Ms. Zhang's eventual health. With a proper lead, human body has a strong natural tendency to repair the damage. Walking Qigong may be such a lead. Qigong readjusts the mind, the body, and the breathing. The peace of mind, the strong motive and faith to get well, combined with all the benefits from this holistic exercise, promote the body's neuroendocrine systems to adapt to the new mental and physical changes, which in turn triggers the immune system to function at higher and more competent levels. The end result is increased resistance to fight off diseases.
Special report by Edward Zheng of Oriental Healing of South Jersey and excerpts translated from Guolin Qigong pp357-360
The 6 crystal balls cure is popular in feng shui in a strange kind of way. There is not much written or talked about this cure, but now and then you will hear from someone about the mysterious feng shui power of the 6 crystal balls.
Whenever a client asks me about it, it is always with a strange, secretive sense of mystery, which always gives this cure - or anything else for that matter - more power than it might actually have. So, let's part the mystery veils and see what makes the 6 crystal balls so powerfully attractive. And, do the 6 crystal balls really bring the energy they are known to bring?
Understanding a feng shui cure is not different from understanding any other symbol in your life - you start by looking at the obvious signs in order to decipher the basic language.
In this case, we are looking at 6 crystal balls - so logically we are looking at 2 factors. There must be something in feng shui about number 6 and about the power of crystal balls!
WHAT IS THE MEANING OF NUMBER 6 IN FENG SHUI?
The energy of number 6 in feng shui symbolizes Heaven's Luck. This is based on the complex interplay of Taoist roots in feng shui, particularly the I Ching connection to the bagua, or the feng shui energy map. Number 6 belongs to the direction of Northwest (Heavenly Blessings), and is considered to express the energy of expansion, limitless energy and heavenly luck. So, we've just solved part of the 6 crystal balls mystery - number 6 is used to bring the energy of heaven's luck. How about the next piece of the puzzle - the crystal balls - what energy do they bring?
HOW ARE CRYSTAL BALLS USED IN FENG SHUI?
The feng shui use of the 6 crystal balls is a bit different from the use of crystal balls for magic, or occult purposes. Neither the power to see the future nor look into the past is being used in feng shui. Crystal balls are used for their energy of harmony and perfection owing to the spherical shape - considered the superior shape since ancient times - as well as, of course, the energy of the quartz crystal (or any other crystal or stone the sphere is made from).
So, there you go, we have the basics of the 6 crystal balls cure clear. It makes perfect sense that the energy this cure will bring is a smooth, harmonious energy "encoded" with the feng shui energy of heavenly blessings.
Now, if you like the sound of it all, how do you actually use the 6 balls feng shui cure in your own home or office?
FENG SHUI USE OF THE 6 CRYSTAL BALLS CURE
Because crystals and stones represent the earth feng shui element energy, the 6 crystal balls feng shui cure can be used in an area of your home or office that is either governed, or benefits from the earth element. It is helpful to understand the interaction of the five feng shui elements in order to define the best placement of any cure.
Here is a shortcut to make it easier for you:
FOR EXAMPLE:
To strengthen the energy of abundance, you can place the 6 crystal balls cure in the Southeast and choose a stone that has wealth properties, such as the citrine or pyrite.
To nourish and strengthen a calm flow of loving energy, place the 6 crystal balls cure (made from rose quartz) in the Southwest (Love & Marriage Area) of your home.
Or, you can always choose 6 clear quartz crystal balls for any bagua area because clear quartz has overall strong properties that you can charge with your specific intent. Place your crystals in a bowl or any other attractive container made from an earth material, such as clay, porcelain or ceramics.
Feng shui-wise, we are in the so-called period 8, which is governed by the Earth element energy; this makes the 6 crystal balls cure considered very auspicious.
Is there an easy way to decide where to place the 6 crystal balls if you do not have time to look into the bagua of your home? Yes, you can't go wrong if you place the 6 crystal balls in your living room, for example, or in the center of your home.
Sometimes you can see the 6 crystal balls cure placed on a circular plate with the star of David formation, plus an array of other additional elements, such as specific engravings, symbols,colours or images. Is this more powerful than the simple 6 crystal balls in a bowl? Not necessarily.
If you are drawn to the 6 crystal balls cure with the additional enhancements such as the ones listed above, be sure you understand the meaning of all extra elements - (star of David energetics, mantra symbols, etc) before you place it in your home.
And, most importantly, be sure to take good care of your crystals and clear their energy from time to time; this helps crystals take good care of the energy in your home.

The story of a man who went missing after taking a picture of this...
"This is a true story in Ras el Khaimah, United Arab Emerites. This picture has been released as a police report evidence in the UAE. The story is that a young man went in the caves in Ras el Khaimah to take pictures in caves known to be deserted, with a friend. He had been warned not to go. The person who had been with him called the police saying he had seen his friend’s flash go off and then his friend screamed. He called his friend but never got an answer and got scared that he’d fallen so went to the police. A few hours later they found the man in the cave dead and the single picture found in his camera is this one."
