A unique Experience with this weekend’s course.
I begin at the end, on the second day. The Qi Gong session with Richard Todd was dynamic. I have been doing Qi
Gong for almost a year with a book & DVD. I did get great energy from these tools however, I never felt Qi until today.
The experience was very moving. I do now know what I have been missing. Perhaps it was the ambiance of the studio, as I
met his loving and open family.
The Tai Chi for neck and back was more difficult for me. With practice and perhaps a refresher class, I feel
this may be beneficial to my health.
I am a firm believer of Qi as it has reduced my medicine requirement to ¼ the dose prescribed by my Dr. (with his
permission) and increased my energy level and reduced my need for supplements for depression.
Thank you, Shifu Jiang for your instruction and especially for the lovely paintings you made. It was very
helpful to keep me on track. E. B.
Note: E. B. is not a regular student, but drove 150 miles to attend my HPA weekend workshop in September
2008.

I have spasmodic torticollis (chronic neck spasms) a neurological condition which affects my balance, flexibility
and makes me feel awkward in my movements. This makes me extremely self-conscious when I’m with others.
Qigong has significantly improved my balance and given me much more range of motion. I am enjoying a more confident attitude in both spontaneous and controlled movement.
I have found a life-long tool for dealing with my condition that actually works. F. T.

Qigong has added a new dimension to my life. It has taught me to let go of my problems and let God take over.
The deep breathing, the focusing of the mind, the getting in tune with my body have all helped me to relax
and enjoy a feeling of well-being.
I see an improvement in my balance and my stamina.
I know I’ll keep enjoying new benefits as I continue with Qigong. M. B.

In July 2005, I was involved in a nearly fatal automobile accident. I was hospitalized for over one month,
unable to walk for three months and unable to work for 4 months. I late November 2005, Richard introduced me to
Qigong and I had my introductory lesson the week of Thanksgiving. I was emotionally and physically exhausted and in
need of strength. Through the regular practice of Qigong, I have developed increased endurance and balance. I have
control over my pain, rather than the pain having control over me. The most remarkable effect from Qigong has been
the spiritual peace that I encounter. It has enabled me to personally and regularly experience the healing power of God.

- I have a greater since of my being
- I’m much more calm & relaxed with many things
I recommend Qigong to any one who would like to see positive changes in their life and body.
