Guest guest Posted January 23, 2007 Report Share Posted January 23, 2007 My acupuncturist/massage therapist takes me through the 6 Healing Sounds, also called opening the Wind Gates. It's an awesome experience. At first I thought it was silly, and I still feel kind of silly doing them, but it makes a tremendous difference in my relaxation. It is also cathartic when instead of just thinking of breathing out your fears, anxieties, depressions...that you actually think of actual fears and anxieties you want to release as you exhale.

Guest guest Posted January 24, 2007 Report Share Posted January 24, 2007 Hi Jojo, The Wind gates opening is used in the Chi Nei Tsang Abdominal Massage, and the 6 sounds are added when cleansing each of the corresponding organs and associated winds. The 6 H.S. is a healing practice in itself. Marcos --- Jojo <forjojo escreveu: > My acupuncturist/massage therapist takes me through the 6 > Healing > Sounds, also called opening the Wind Gates.

Guest guest Posted January 25, 2007 Report Share Posted January 25, 2007 Hi Jojo, The time is not set, you may take the time that you are comfortable with, the sounds include especific postures and movements, and between each sound(each organ) you rest a while and contact the qi of the organ, each sound is usually done 3 to 6 times, in case of necessity, one may do it 6 to 9 times. If you do not have time you do the sounds of the lung and kidney. They are done sub-vocally.

Guest guest Posted January 25, 2007 Report Share Posted January 25, 2007 Hi Glen! I have not read the book you mension, but I have read soe tother book about qigong. I have unfortunately not tried the sounds, because in my opinion they may not work properly if you ave not been introduced to the right way to express the sounds, it is difficult from written text to get the feeling for wich intonation and how exactly the sound is to be performed. Another thing is, that when you work with chi, it may take some time before you can feel or see results. Have you been persistant, and done the sounds for an extended period of time, each day. If you have a problem, it may have taken years to develop to the current state, you can not get rid of it just by trying a couple of times. When you say you have shallow breath, I must ask, why to you do the excersice for Stomach? It sounds that you might have a problem in the Kidneys function of receiving chi from the Lungs (but don't take this as a diagnos, since you need to meet a TCM-practicioner to get the right diagnosis since it can be a variety of causes, it can also be excess in the lungs. nothing I can't tell without seeing you and get the whole picture). In that case you should work with strengthening the Kidneys and maybe purge and tonify (e.g regulate) the Lungs. Sounds have what I have understood a purgin quality. In an excesscase this may be applicable, but in a deficency case maybe not so good. Maybe a combined strategy is applicable for the Lungs, that is first purge them with sound and then tonify them with visualizing light (which is white in the case of the Lung) /Peter Chinese Traditional Medicine , " apchat2000 " <lionhearted38 wrote: > > Daniel Reid's " Complete Book of Chinese Health and Healing " lists > 6 " healing sounds " and their exercises.

Sorry for the delay. There seem to be several sets of healing sounds. Someone here posted the name of another book (available at Borders in the U.S.), which had different healing sounds and slightly different exercises that the ones listed in Reid's book. The exercises, esp'ly for the stomache, seemed very similar and the sounds were a little, too. Reid, for instance, says to say " whoo " and the other book says " foo " . When I did the stomach/spleen stretching exercise when mouthing " who, " I tend to breathe more deeply. I can't do them too fast b/c I get a massive head rush that goes away after a few days. I don't get the same deep breath when I saw " shray " or some other " healing word " that's specific for another organ. It never hurts to check that these words are specific to certain organs! <wink> As for the sounds, I agree that that can be a problem. Ken Cohen also had them on his DVD. Overall, I was disappointed with that, as he often has people pairing up to heal ea. other. I live alone, and just wanted something I could do alone to help myself. I'll check his healing sounds and exercises, too. It takes a good 10-15 minutes to do the stomache and triple burner. The trick is to relax first, otherwise your breath is off and you feel rushed. The triple burner exercises are similar to those in the 8 pieces of brocade, but you don't have to stand on your toes, however. glenn Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
