In China, chi gung is routinely used to help back and joint problems. Three B. K. Frantzis Energy Arts programs are particularly helpful: Heaven and Earth prepares your joints, giving you the basic foundation of opening and closing techniques. These techniques are more refined in Bend the Bow and Shoot the Arrow, which teaches you how to work directly with your spinal vertebrae and the basic spinal pumps. Gods Playing in the Clouds completes the process.
Sometimes it can take a setback to wake you up to what is valuable and what isn't. I had been fighting an intense legal battle with devastating effects on my business and on my health. I had to face starting over again very late in life. I couldn't do much about the drain on my time and money; however, I could do something about the drain on my health. Thank God for qigong!
