Issue 5

March 2008

Master Lin has chosen the theme "Enlightenment through Unconditional Love" as the focus of next month's Spring Forest Qigong International Conference. He is grateful to have discovered how to live a life of unconditional love, and he wants to help others experience the same joy!

An additional day has been added to this conference in recognition of requests for more shared time. As Master Lin says, "This extra time is the best way I can give you more opportunities to go even deeper into unconditional love."

The conference will be held April 17-20 at the Sheraton Bloomington Hotel, Minneapolis South. For more information, or to register (early reduced rate is available until April 4!), please visit the SFQ International Conference web site, or call 952-593-5555.

If you are interested in working as a volunteer at the conference, please e-mail Robert Qualls before March 12 at quand@chibardun.net, and he will contact you about opportunities that may be available.

We look forward to sharing this powerful time with you, discovering enlightenment through unconditional love.

Ask Master Lin
 
Do you have something you would like to ask Master Lin?  Each month we will select a question that has been sent to us and publish the answer in this newsletter (your name will not be used). Please keep in mind that Master Lin does not diagnose medical conditions and will not be able to personally answer each question. If you would like a member of our support team to get back to you, please make note of that in your e-mail or letter. Send questions to newsletter@springforestqigong.com.

This month's question: When people are dying, what can we accomplish with our love energy to help them make the transition? I was doing qigong on my father when he was dying, but I didn't know if it would give him more energy or if it would relieve his pain.
 
Answer:  When people are dying, you can send a sun into their heart with love. This love energy can help them to have more peace and comfort and to clear negative information from their system so they can move on with life in a more peaceful and healing way. When your father was dying, and you did qigong on him, you gave the best gift you could give to him on his way to a new journey. He got your energy, love, and support to move on with joy, without fears, and without pain.

Coaching Sessions
 
Now that you've taken Level 1 and had a chance to begin to digest all the many things you learned, are questions popping up? Are you wondering how to develop your healing abilities or how to use reverse breathing to take your meditation practice to the next level? If you live near the Minneapolis area or you're planning a visit, consider an individual coaching session with a trained SFQ staff member. We work one-on-one or in small groups to help you develop and use your natural ability to heal yourself and others.

            ? Monday-Thursday, 1:00 p.m. to 6:00 p.m. and Friday, 8:00 a.m. to 6:00 p.m.

Active Exercise Classes

These one-hour classes provide an opportunity to practice one of the foundations of Spring Forest Qigong--the active exercises taught in Level 1. The main benefits of these exercises are to help strengthen physical energy; to help open all energy channels in the body; to help bring yin and yang energy back into balance; to help get rid of energy blockages; and to help develop spiritual energy in order to heal physically, mentally, and spiritually.
 
You will review and practice the Beginning of the Universe, Forming of Yin and Yang, Moving of Yin and Yang, Breathing of the Universe, Joining of Yin and Yang, Harmony of Universal Energy, Seven Steps of New Life; and several other exercises to harvest the qi.  Please wear comfortable clothing and come prepared to enjoy yourself!

                              SFQ International Guild Update

                     


· Both Guild meetings in March will begin at 9:00 a.m. at the Eisenhower Center in Hopkins, Minnesota. At the March 3 Guild meeting, Sue Esch will be sharing her experiences using qigong in working with Post Traumatic Stress Syndrome. It would be helpful--but isn't necessary--to review your Guild Notes from her May 12, 1007 presentation.

Administrative Note:
Companies Merged

Our two operating companies have been merged effective December 31, 2007, with "Spring Forest Qigong Company, Inc." as the surviving operating company. This was done to help things run more efficiently on the accounting and business side.
 
All of our services, locations, and contacts are the same and the change should be transparent to our customers and clients. This move was made to help us focus more of our time and resources on providing better tools and services to you.

Services Available at SFQ

Sessions at the SFQ Center

During your half-hour session at the SFQ Center, you will sit comfortably and share your concerns with an Advanced SFQ Specialist. He or she will move his or her hand several inches from your body to detect and remove energy blockages. Active exercises and/or healing meditations may be suggested for further benefit. When he is available, Master Lin will spend the last five minutes of your session continuing to assist you in your healing journey.

Phone Appointments

Appointments with Master Lin, Master Nance, or one of the Advanced SFQ Specialists, are also available by telephone. During a phone appointment, you briefly describe your concerns and then sit quietly while blockages are being detected and removed. Following the session, you may meditate or just rest for about 30 minutes to allow the energy to continue to move.

Distance Sessions

With this type of session, there is no physical or verbal contact involved. Using simple information (a name, a location, a brief description of the area of concern), Master Lin, Master Nance, or one of the Specialists will remotely detect blockages and work to eliminate them.


Scheduling: To schedule an in-office appointment, a phone session, or a distance session, please call the Spring Forest Center at 952-593-5555.

Classes

Spring Forest currently offers four levels of classes: Level One for health; Level Two for healing; Level Three for advanced energy development and healing; and Level Four for techniques for spiritual healing and even more advanced ways to collect energy. Please check our website for more information.

Conferences, Retreats, and Workshops

Conferences, retreats, and workshops are scheduled throughout the year. Keep an eye on our website (or this newsletter!) for announcements.
