Bests & Worsts Reviews from Amazon

I decided to give this DVD a try due to my longtime muskuloskeletal disorders, as well as my determination to stay away from the pharma industry and their drugs, which to me, have been useless if not dangerous. I have a history of lumbago, bursitis and neck problems. Several years ago, I had sciatica that lasted for almost 7 years. It was then that I knew without a doubt there was absolutely nothing conventional allopathic medicine (therapy and dangerous drugs included) could do for me. Though a series of sessions with a good chiropractor provided relief, it was thanks to meditation and mind control that I finally completely got over my sciatica. Now I have been sciatica free for 15 years, but I would often have neck and back pain problems due to bad posture or tension, and two or three years ago I also started having pain on my upper left arm. Depending how high and in which direction I raised my left arm, a sharp pain would remind me something was seriously wrong with it. My low back pain was also there. Whenever I had to stand in the kitchen for more than 20 minutes chopping veggies or preparing a meal, I had to take a rest and sit down for a while due to discomfort or pain on my lower back. Only a few months ago, I came on Amazon and saw this DVD and ordered it right away. I started by watching the tape very carefully two or three times, trying not to miss any detail in order to follow Master Chris Pei's instructions as faithfully as I could. The results are next to miraculous. I could feel energized right after my very first session. Five of six sessions later, I realized that my left arm was not aching any more. The next day, when I got on my Pilates machine to do some strength training, I realized I could raise my left arm as high as I wanted without any pain whatsoever. I was free of my lower back pain in about only 8 or 10 sessions. Thanks to QiGong, I can now stand at the kitchen countertop for as long as I want, with no pain. I can move my left arm, back and forth, high and low, with no pain. I have read two or three books on QiGong and there is one concept that I found very interesting. According to Traditional Chinese Medicine, there is only ONE illness: Qi stagnation. This means that if the Qi flows freely, we are also free from disease. QiGong has worked so fantastically well for me, that I have every reason to support that belief. Thanks to QiGong, I am 100% pain free. *{Master Chris Pei's instructions are crystal clear and to the point. Bravo!} Note: In relation with other reviews, I must say that QiGong is not only about movement. It also requires strong involvement of the subconscious mind or, in other words, it involves meditation, or getting the mind to reach, at least, the Alpha level. It is for that reason that I think these exercises should better be practiced AFTER watching the DVD, not at the same time. Master Chris Pei, is obviously not in the Beta level (conscious mind level) at the time he performs the movements. UPDATE. September 6, 2012 Later I found Dr Yang Ywing Ming' s DVDs here on Amazon which, in my opinion (together with Master Chris Pei's DVDs) are also among the BEST DVDs one can get to practice and learn about QiGong. I have ALL of Dr Yang's DVDs on QiGong and will continue to buy every DVD Both Chris Pei and Dr Yang may come up with in the future. I have the whole DVD series "Understanding Qigong" by Dr Yang. Each DVD is about 3 hours long and is a wonderful tool for those of us who not only want to practice Qigong but also understand the reasons why we should practice it and the best ways to do so. Another Update: June 2013 I have continued practicing Qigong, mainly Chris Pei's and Dr Yang's DVDs and I have no words to express all the benefits that I am getting through its practice.
