Appreciate video content! Excuse me for the intrusion, I would appreciate your thoughts. Have you heard about - Xeyack Qenaleb Bulldozer (probably on Google)? It is a good one off guide for discovering unbelievable techniques to build your Chi energy minus the normal expense. Ive heard some great things about it and my m8 finally got excellent results with it.

I understand , thank you for the explanation . I do also love balloons and the idea of releasing messages and intent out to the universe through them , I wondered if you use the type that are not detrimental to the environment , I found out that there are baloon's made from a material that is biodegradable

[@MrJmargo]

I nearly died once in the hospital and when coming back I could feel the life force

[@guillaumedupont2902]

You truly are an Inspiration Master Shi Heng Yi. You're helping and guiding so many people in so many ways... I started learning Qi Gong through youtube videos about 7 years ago... but I found the Shaolin Temple Europe channel only a few months ago and now you're really bringing the whole thing to the next level. You've just clarified so much confusion! It's absolutely amazing! I am healing myself from IBS and am taking this opportunity (the confinement) to focus entirely inwardly. I'm focusing mainly on Shamatha (Mindfulness of breathing), the Four Immeasurables, Healing/Positive Visualization and QiGong. Every day, from morning to evening, like a retreat. Living as simply as possible and avoiding distractions. I'm finding so much Joy in doing this and Living this way... it sometimes feels as if all the suffering I went through had been there to guide me to this point, to the peace of mind and way of life I had always been looking for. Sometimes I really wonder, once healed, if I may even give up everything to follow a path similar to yours, and to become a peaceful and awesome (wise and kind) human being too... The answer will come with practice... Thank you infinitely.

[@nicolaichristensen6764]

I related to you while reading you comment. One of the reasons I started practicing Qi Gong from Master Shi Heng Yi's videos was to heal myself of IBS as well, and in general purge myself of a core stress built up over many years. After only ~4 days of intense study and practice of the Yi Jin Jing I already felt more calm and relaxed in my core than ever before. I definitely feel like I have taken the first step on a path worth walking for the rest of my life.

[@petrasant5495]

TheAwakeningDreamer , you already are awesome! Peace be with you.

[@titsaa_]

That was deep. Peace and love upon you 🙏

[@rnkim2564]

[@reneeyoung7345]

[@castcast7786]

[@svenlion1025]

just your words feel like the sun on the water for me

[@tomdiniz5200]

Everyday i prey for god bless this master, the sensei that showed me a new path and the light on my path. I simple cant tell how great you transformed my life. I was angry, felt bad and had being caged on an bad vicious practice everyday. I asked for help to god and he showed me your video,i also loved kung fu and decided start. Your practice of qi gong showed me light,saved me from much pain on back and i asked myself days later if it was good or i did not need anymore, i them climbed stairs and on final of that day i was so bad like never before, i decided later night practice again and it healed my back pain so much that i could sleep like god had touched me. After 2 months training i changed much but it wasnt enought, i keept training but had that vicious again, so one day i asked help for god and on next day i was practicing and keep thinking " i need to learn more,i need the theory" suddenly on my mind i thinked about search for budha, i started it after 3 months on general of training, im almost 4 months training and with budha lessons, your training i archieved a new level of comphreension, i archieved answers like why i needed to do the meditation, what it gives me, i archieved so many answers and words that helped me in many situations of my life nowadays like never before i had, i wanted to expand so im now reading book of big sages like Sun tzu, Miyamoto musashi (5 rings), chakra book, complete void(daoism), and thanks to that im reaching new knowledge, i am learning about yoga and chakra. Honestly i can only thank you so much for all this that i pray for god bless you, budha,everyone who translated those books and all spirits that help me. I am from spiritism and i never read much but now after shaolin qi gong i can go further and i always will have on my heart both budhism, qigong and spiritsm. Today im free from that vicious cage, i have time to learn,to be with my family,to organize my cloths, im reaching happyness like never before. Thank you. It is real and just need everyone do a simple thing: start and go all the way

[@Alex722]

Your comment made me happy that you found a way to change your life for the better. Please search for the work of Krishnamurti. Listening to that man can be very enlightening 😊

Serenidade a todos .

[@indigorain5871]

Master Shi Heng Yi - "The roadless traveled" thank you for bring this powerfully to the world. I know your journey has not be easy. I look forward to learning from you indirectly and one day directly. Namaskara!

[@clareryan2640]

I have only just learned of this at a retreat I recently went to. I had no idea it was connected to Shaolin🤭 Thank you for posting such a clear meditative clip👍👍

[@lorrainej7250]

Learning the 3 pillars being more inquisitive about the CHi and how it feels in the body through physical practice is enlightening for me. Listening to wisdom of Master Shi Heng yi with the teachings really starting to make value to my understanding of this practice. A physical experience of movements carried out in specific ways with breathing, really energises the body. Many thanks to The Master and his team for sharing this knowledge.

[@rijutatooker8686]

My heart's gratitude to you Master Shi Heng Yi for all you are freely offering to us.🙏 Wish I could have viewed your videos years ago. Your beautiful and vivid descriptions will stay with me during my practice sessions and beyond.❤️

Great shen sharing

[@nataliamoodley4096]

I wish i could find a master to physically teach me this. Ive always been intrigued about qi gong and shaolin kung fu. For some reason, i have always been drawn to this time and time again. I really dont know why

[@alexandraalbertz1442]

When the student is ready, the teacher will appear.

[@satnamo]

Because my true self is the only part of me that wants to grow: that is the reason why I am drawn to Shaolin Congfu Qi

[@conorhale1269]

There is always a teaching to be had in our reactions to the world, and to evaluate why this is. Take the time, when you wake up in the morning, to evaluate how you feel, before all else. Look at whether you are stressed, angry, excited, what have you. Ask why this is. Is a burden of the past weighing on you? Is there a fearful prospect approaching? Are you excited over a possibility? Take a moment, then, to detach yourself from the past, as well as your future. They are concepts that affect the flow of energy. Sit only in the present, and breathe. Listen to your breath, and quiet the mind. Feel your body. Set your palms slightly away from one another, facing each other. Feel a pressure there, between your palms. Evaluate and follow this feeling, as it moves through your arms, your torso. Feel this very presence that waits for your acknowledgement throughout your body, this animating force. Feel it in the stillness and tranquility of the present, detached from all that was or will be. This force is not the mind, the body, or the emotions. It is the animus that gives rise to these things. It is Spirit, Qi, and is in flow within the grand equilibrium of the cosmos. Letting go of concepts of self, your worries, your cares, will expose what lies underneath.

[@gar50172]

Not to make this weird or anything but I’m a Norse pagan and this isn’t really in that ball park but this appeared to me out of no where, and I’ve been hooked ever since. It has helped me a lot so far it’s a commitment.

[@kvedward]

Shi Heng Yi. I have been following your teachings on Shaolin Temple Europe YT channel for quite a while now. I have acquired great insights from your talks and the Qi Gong and Nei Gong exercises, I've been practicing. It's somewhat difficult to learn from YT compared to the actual experience but I'll make use of what I can access as of this moment. I'd like to express my gratitude that your uploads have been a gift. Health is a way of life and practicing Shaolin Kung Fu along with Buddhist principles is a beautiful integration into one's daily practice. Thank you so much and hoping to see some more of your content in this channel!

[@robinmalafa3352]

You have learned so much. I can tell by reading your comment. Thank you for sharing your thoughts and feelings.

[@user-gc9lw7cg4i]

This is wonderful. Thank you, dear and respected Master Shi Heng. Your explanations and movements breathe the energy you are talking about. You are very artistic because you feel this energy. And it goes through the computer screen to my feelings and helps to perform the complexes in an amazingly productive and pleasant way. Plus a wonderful physical condition and knowledge of deep ancient theories. Bravo!😍

[@marlanarsi2590]

Thankyou for explaining clearly and calmly

[@kristyphan8676]

Thank you for this introduction to what qi gong means! I've been interested in it for a while because I can't seem to stick to HIIT/strength training workouts. I decided to let go of appearance/performance-based movement in favor of more internal/spiritual? type movement like qi gong. Learning about qi as life force is beautiful. My intention with learning qi gong is to discover my life force.. to feel alive, to accept and embrace what I witness inside.

[@Teriyakipapita]

What an insight, I love it

[@kevinotoole885]

You cannot achieve anything physical if you are not at peace mentally. I’m not trying to be all wise on you but you will find that you can achieve your strength / physical pursuits when you are ‘good’ mentally. Good luck.
