When I retired, I decided to focus my efforts towards healing the planet. The way I was going to do this was similar to using the tools I use on Medical Qigong treatments. I was going to work with a microcosm of the planet to help the planet heal and get well. Because I live in California, I focused located different "earth energy sites" in California which would act like acupoints to direct and work with subtle energies (similar to acupuncture points in the body). I then traveled around the state to conduct different types of healing activities at those locations.

After several months of doing this, I was doing one of my regular early morning meditations, when something new happened. I could feel my energetic self being PULLED and carried away as if I was in a tunnel. I tried to stop this by ending the meditation, but I could not even end the meditation. So I just relaxed and "let go". Eventually the pull stopped and I found myself being in a large open space, like a room with granite looking walls. There were no windows. I saw a few very tall gray looking "andromorph" shaped Beings who reminded me of the shapes seen in some petroglyphs in Utah. These Beings seemed to greet and welcome me, then took me to a Being who seemed to be in charge. I will call this Being, Gaia, because that is the name that popped into my thoughts when I first saw her. She essentially wanted to know what I was trying to accomplish with all those healing activities I was doing.

I told her I was working to heal the planet from global warming. I expected she would be pleased, but she wasn't. She replied that she heals herself through her various cleansing processes, like earthquakes, tornadoes, hurricanes, and volcanoes. She then recommended that instead of focusing on healing the planet, the better option would be to work on healing humanity and preventing the problem of global warming. "This is where the real problem lies" she said.

I accepted her advice and now found myself sitting back on my couch, in my meditative state. It was almost as if nothing had just happened. The purpose of this visit had been achieved and I could just pick up where I left off. 

Since that experience I have refocused my efforts to work on healing humanity. Part of the process has been to define what healing humanity means, as well as what approaches to try. It also meant I needed to figure out how to assess and evaluate the results to determine if anything I was doing was effective.

This has resulted in a lot of thoughts, pondering, and different game plans in using and directing QI to help in these efforts. There may be multiple approaches and they may work in different locations, or seasons, or with different cultures. But my primary method is to see what works to help awaken people to WANT to work together and create a world we all want to live in.

I ​ was asked to give a remote Qigong healing treatment to a 40-year-old man with debilitating headaches. In this remote healing treatment, I projected my energetic body to this person's bedside to start the assessment and healing, but was UNABLE to even do an assessment on his head. I could NOT "get in". I could  assess all the other areas of his body,  but just not his head.

After the remote treatment, I reported what happened and he said, “Oh, I placed a black dot on my head last night to protect me from outside forces. Maybe that was why you couldn’t get in my head?”

“Yes" I said. "Let’s reschedule and retry tomorrow, but this time, do NOT place a protective dot on your forehead.”

The next morning, I had no problem at all getting in, assessing, and then treating his headaches.

When this man placed that black dot of charcoal on his head, he had directed his thoughts and intention to protect his mind and thoughts. When thoughts are given an intention, their energy is strengthen and they work to fulfill that request. His thoughts had created an energetic barrier that prevented me from entering his energetic space and treating his headaches.

This experience not only reminded me of the power of our thoughts, it also helped me improve my pre-treatment inquiries to make sure energetic barriers were removed before a remote Qigong treatment.

I received news that a friend of the family was in hospice care and getting ready to die. Carolyn was in her eighties and had failing health, so it was not necessarily a surprise she was near death. Because I have developed the skill oof remote Qigong treatments, I am able to project my energetic self out of my physical body and go to their location. I decided I would see if I could assist Carolyn with this transition and ease her suffering in some way.

I projected my energetic self to Carolyn's bedside in Kansas and when I arrived, I could see Carolyn standing outside her body, which was laying face up in a hospital bed. She greeted me and then resume looking down at her body, just observing it and waiting for it to die so her spiritual self could be released. I told her I was here to see if I cold help in any way and she asked if I knew of a way to speed up this process of a slow lingering death.

I told her I was aware there was something in her chest that would look like a little sliver of white "rice" and that acts kind of like a plug. It will slowly fall out on its own, or you, the owner of your body, can pull it out. She said, "is that all?"  I said "yes, as far as I know".  

She laughed and then yanked it out. IMMEDIATELY the light in the room changed and we were now both standing in a different dimension. We had not "physically moved" but were now somewhere else and it happened in less than a second.

Carolyn's friend, Ruth, who had died the prior month, was standing in this new space, along with several others I didn't know any of them, but they were all friends or family of Carolyn who were there to greet her. I could see what looked like balloons and welcome signs - like the beginnings of a party.

Carolyn and I then flickered back and forth between the physical Kansas world of her hospice room and this new "after life realm" located in a different dimension. This seemed to happen with Carolyn's thoughts. She would have a thought like “I wonder what is happening to my body” and IMMEDIATELY we were flipped back to the bedside of hospice looking down at her physical body.  The nurses were there doing what they needed to do with her physical body and we were both just standing over that now dead body. Carolyn’s thought would then change and IMMEDIATELY we would be back standing in that other realm with Ruth and her other friends who were deceased who were all thrilled to have Carolyn back home.

I told Carolyn she could go back and forth between these realms very easily for a few days, but that ease would fade and change as her earthly essence in the physical world diminishes. From my experience, it is usually a few days. Carolyn was rather tickled and excited about this new information.

What I learned from this experience was how IMMEDIATE and seamless the transition is from our physical dimension to the "post physical life" dimension. No movement was required. It was rather remarkable.

A friend of mine asked if I would do a remote Qigong healing treatment on her granddaughter.  Her granddaughter, who I will call Lizzie, was 10 years old and in the hospital. I didn't have many details at that time, except that she had been in the hospital due to experiencing a fall, and just wasn't getting better. I agreed to do a remote treatment to see if I could help.

During my early morning meditation, I sat on my couch with my eyes closed and could feel myself relax. I then felt a type of expansion, which let me know I could now project myself to my intended location and begin a remote healing treatment. My intended location was the Primary Children's Hospital in SLC, UT, and the person I needed to connect with was "Lizzie". To find Lizzie, I thought of my friend, her grandmother, and then from her grandmother's energy was able to find the thread to the locale of where Lizzie was in that hospital. 

I then felt myself walking toward the hospital room where Lizzie would be and saw a little 10 year old girl standing over her hospital bed. I said, "Hello, Lizzie. I’m a friend of your grandmother’s and she asked if I would come and give you a Qigong healing treatment."
 
“What’s that?” she asked. I then explained what Qigong was and how I would be working with her energy to help her heal.
 
“Your Grandma said it was OK, but I still need your permission before I can give you a treatment. Your permission will let me go into your energy layers to help you feel better” I told her.

“OK” she said, but still just stood there, looking over her body, which was laying in the bed.
 
“Lizzie, I will need you to go back inside your body so I can give you this treatment. That way, you can assist me and let me know what is helping," I said to her.
 
She then slipped back into her physical body and NOW, I could see her physical self. She was on a respirator, her eyes were closed, her head was wrapped in a white gauze. She was comatose, and this was the ICU! I had not expected this degree and intensity of illness, but began the treatment like any other treatment I would do in my clinic - I began with an assessment, using the "flat hand technique" and waving it across the body to "read" her energy. I began with her head and could now see and sense the swelling in her brain. I could also see that her head was wrapped in a gauze. In addition, I could also "see" she was on a respirator. These were the messages coming from her energetic body, then interacting with my palm, and me then reading what her energy was giving off.

I continued my flat palm assessment, working downward over her chest and saw she had a condition called spinal bifida. This helped explain some of the reason for may of these complications in what I was sensing.

After my assessment, I put together my treatment plan and then initiated her Qigong medical treatment. I then worked on each organ system to either purge stuck energy, rebalance the energy, and/or nourish the organ systems energy. When I completed the treatment I told Lizzie I was done and asked her how she felt. She then shared something with me that gave me pause. She told me said she didn’t know if she wanted to live or not. She went on to explain that she was Mormon and girls are supposed to get married and have children - this was a girls life purpose. She then confided to me that she doubted she would ever get married and have children because of her spinal bifada, so what was the point in getting well and living?

I then told her, “Lizzie, I’m not married, and look at me – I am here with you right now and I don't even have my body with me! I am giving you a healing treatment and my body is back home in California sitting on a couch in a deep meditation. My energetic self is here with you and I am giving you a medical treatment. You could do something like this, too, because it does not require a perfect physical body. You could become a healer if you wanted."

She seemed to like that answer.  
 
Lizzie had been in a coma for 3 weeks, but then came out of her coma the next day. A day or so after that, she was taken off the respirator. Then she was moved out of the Intensive Care. I believe that Lizzie decided she wanted to live. So she did. And the Qigong treatment helped give her the nudge and energy she needed to do this.

​During my very first Qigong training class at AIMC in Berkeley, CA, our instructor had us do an exercise designed to help us connect and work with invisible energies. Suzanne, our instructor, had us each partner with a fellow student. One person would think of a color to send. The other student would receive the color and report what they saw. Through thought. In silence. And with no hints.

I personally thought "Good Grief. I'm going to leave and drop this class. This is just too weird." But I got up and participated because we needed an even number of participants.

Suzanne reviewed the process now that we were all standing with a partner. The sender would stand and silently choose a color, visualize the color in the mind, and when ready, lift her/his arm and mentally direct the color out the palm of the upright hand.  The receiver would receive the color and determine what color it was, then announce the color he/she had received. No words would be spoken. 

In silence, my partner sent a color out of her palm to me and I, being the receiver, said,  "I see red!'  She said  "YES!"
We then changed partners to try the exercise with someone new, and we repeated the process.

"White!' I said, and the person sending me that color said "YES!" I thought, wow, this is strange.  I got another one correct!

We changed partners again and again and again. I kept on getting them all correct. Finally I got combined with another student and reported to her that "I see pink''. "Yes" she exclaimed! But I then continued, "you need to go wash your hands because that rose perfume on your hands is overwhelming!" 

She responded, "I don’t have anything on my hands. I was sending you PINK ROSES!”

My mouth dropped and I felt chills all over my body. I now knew this was something beyond guessing. I had received the thoughts she was sending. 

Before this class I didn't even know what Qigong was. I had been groomed in Western Medicine where everything is about hard core data and lots of powerful equipment. But in this realm, we were focusing our minds to create and then send subtle, invisible energy to each other with our mind. We were also receiving and interpreting these nonverbal and invisible messages using no technology. This was pretty incredible and rather amazing.
​
The door of curiosity was now wide open and I was ready to begin learning about Qigong and the subtle energy of Qi.  This was the start of a whole new adventure in the art of healing and health I hadn't even known existed before walking in the door of this Qigong classroom.
