Student Reviews on Past Qi Treat

Dr. E. Lee Saffold, says:

The recent “Qi Retreat” in Pensacola, Florida conducted by Master Deru, the 31st generation descendent and a direct disciple of the late great Grand Master of the Shaolin temple, Suxi, was empowering as well as enlightening. Just to get away from regular daily work and focus entirely upon self-discovery and improvement was an experience that simply must be repeated by anyone interested in good physical, mental and spiritual health.

This retreat provided three primary benefits that I am convinced would be of great value to anyone seeking to live a quiet, peaceful, and productive life. (1) Learning the power of effective meditation. The value of silently turning your thoughts inward and detaching one’s self from any emotions, mental attachments or desires and simply “be” in the present tense with no past or future to regret or fear is a tremendous stress relief. (2) Understanding all of the various “energies” that are cultivated by a combination of physical movements of the body connected with controlled breathing and guided by the mind. These exercises, when done properly and regularly tend to improve one’s physical state while simultaneously developing the strength and capability of one’s mind. (3) Learning the ancient exercises of the Yi Jin Jing and Tai Gong along with some movements and martial applications of both Tai Chi Chuan and Shaolin Kung Fu from a master with a direct linage connection to the Shaolin Temple where they originated thousands of years ago and continue to be practiced today.

Through the expert teaching and guidance of Master Deru, it was abundantly clear that these ancient Chinese exercises of Shaolin Yi Jin Jing, Shaolin Tai Gong, and Tai Chi Chuan are effective to strengthen the entire human being, including body, mind and spirit. The exhilarating feeling of being completely relaxed, poised, confident as well as being physically and mentally refreshed after practicing these exercises for the greater part of three days was more than sufficient evidence to each participant that these exercises promise to be the very best means of maintaining a high degree of health for a lifetime. From Master Deru we learned how these exercises could help boost the immune system, improve oxygenation of the entire body, offer cardiovascular benefits, and improve blood circulation and respiratory function, relieve stress and increase one’s balance. I am convinced that all of these benefits will tend to prolong a quality life well into old age for persons who also maintain a healthy diet.

I highly recommend that everyone concerned with good health attend this Qi seminar with Master Deru at their earliest opportunity to learn these ancient methods of exercise with the intention to make them a daily practice. Harmony of mind and body with all that surrounds and affects us is the ultimate goal of those seeking peace and quality of life. This kind of knowledge is “like eating a peach”; the best way to understand the taste of a peach is to “eat one.” The best way to understand the benefits of these exercises tending toward a harmonious life is to do learn and practice them.

Sincerely,

E. Lee Saffold

From Keisuke Yamane, a former private middle school principal now working for the city government and also a Liu Institute instructor, says:

“Thank you so much for letting me attend the retreat. I feel definitely refreshed and renewed both mentally and physically. I learned something new, and I need to work to retain them as much as possible.  I really enjoyed the food.  I would like to know how to prepare them so that I can cook myself. Hard work and effort to help the school is the way I can pay you back at this point.”

Vatsana Chanthala, a public health advocate, says:

Shi Fu, thank you for all your time, patience and dedication to the health of this humble student. The Qi Gong weekend retreat gave me many important life’s lessons that will be cherished and passed on. I was reminded that healing takes time and comes from within. In the end, it all comes down to each and every one of us to being responsible for our own health. Doctors, nurses, or pills are all tools to help guide us in the right path in our quest for health improvement, not a crutch to take with us for the full journey. The Qi Gong exercises helped me to re-center and refocus my energy.

As I watched the full moon rise over the ocean, I felt a sense of renewed energy and peace. Each breath in was rejuvenating energy replacing existing burdens in each breath out.

I will forever remember you saying, “I’ll point the way, you walk the path, but don’t look at my finger.” I will continue to walk, but will need to look back once in a while, so please continue to point.
Thank you for an enlightening and empowering weekend.
