Trying to loose weight problems?

[Guest guest]

One solution which I have found to be particularly effective and profoundly

interesting for overeating and or weight regulation is to try Qi Gong. I

regularly do Qi Gong fasts - invloving simply initiating the meditative

atate and doing various sequences of moves - in this system there are some

key concepts such as ; qi is the primary animator of life, therfore

cultivating our connection can provide nourishment and greatly reduce need

for food. Another insight is that the stomach is simply a part of our body

requiring exercise - this is what hunger and desire for food can be - we can

respond by giving it energetic stimulation.

 

I have used the system of Dao Hua Qi Gong meaning The way of transformation

Energy Work. It is profoundly powerful. There are retreats on the subject of

dieting, fasting, weight regulation. Ingeneral a rigid attitude toward food

is not regarded as healthy. Instead students are given insight and ability

to radically reduce dependence on food - on one of these retreats the

primary techer, master Xhixing Wang actually gave the students a teaspoon of

icecream at the begining and end of the 2 week fast. A sense of humour. The

transmission is effective - everybody manged it, including persons who had

serious disorderes and illnesses.

 

So with this approach one doessn't need to get too hung up on what one

should and should not eat, rather cultivating an ability to reduce

dependence ingeneral, increase understanding (- there are many links to

sexuality, desire, addiction in general) and also to transform the foods

that we do eat.
