Treating and Preventing Cancer with T'ai Chi and Chi Kung (qigong)

Post Date:June 01, 2010

Qigong Cancer Workshop to be held at the Unitarian Universalist Church of the South Hills, Saturday, June 12th.

Ven. Shih Tao-Fa, an ordained Ch’an (Zen) Priest) and leader of Mountain Wind Zen Meditation Center,  will lead “Preventing and Treating Cancer with T’ai Chi and Qigong” on Saturday, June 12th, from 10:00-11:00 A.M.  Ven. Tao-Fa, who is highly trained in Qigong (or Chi Kung), will teach three forms that are used throughout hospitals in China and the West for the prevention and treatment of cancer.  

The workshop will cover three easy to learn forms of healing exercises:  Guoyin Wind Walking, Taoist Wind Breathing, and Soaring Crane Playing with the Source of all Qi.  These forms are not only valuable for treating cancer, they are excellent ways of maintaining overall health and well-being.   The exercises can be performed by anyone regardless of fitness level or overall health.

“These forms of exercises,” Ven. Tao-Fa explains, “have been used for thousands of years to maintain the health of the body and mind.  With the rise in cancer in China and the West, many Qigong masters have turned their attention to creating exercises that stimulate the circulation and help the body prevent the formation of tumors and help the body heal from cancer.”    Numerous Western medical studies document the benefits of Qigong and T’ai Chi for cancer treatment.
Ven. Shih Tao-Fa learned Soaring Crane from Master Dr. Daniel Lee, who trained under Master Zhao Jin-Xiang, the creator of Soaring Crane—the most famous and widely used form of Cancer Qigong in China.  In addition, Ven. Shih Tao-Fa has studied medical and therapeutic Qigong with Master Helen Wu and Dr. Yang, Jwing-Ming, one of the most famous teachers in North America. 

The workshop is co-sponsored by Mountain Wind Zen Meditation Center and Still Mountain T’ai Chi and is offered as part of Mountain Wind’s ongoing efforts to extend compassion and help to all sentient beings.  Donations to Mountain Wind will be graciously accepted for the workshop.
