Cartea include şi explicaţii ştiinţifice ale capacităţilor paranormale ale lui John Chang, pe care noi, în Occident, le considerăm imposibile – capacităţi la care autorul a fost martor şi pe care le-a descris în detaliu. Cartea "Magul din Java" va grăbi cu siguranţă ceea ce ar putea foarte bine să devină cea mai mare revoluţie a secolului al XXI-lea – confirmarea şi studiul energiei vitale cunoscuta in diferite traditii drept: 氣(气), Chi, Qi in China, Ki in Japonia, Prana in hinduism, Mana in traditia Huna, pneuma in Grecia antica si azi ca Orgon(Wilhelm Reich). Incepeti prin a vedea filmul de mai jos: Demonstratie de Qigong cu John Chang Puterea Meditatiei - Terapia Energetica - Vindecare prin controlul energiei Chi http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QXTir6cISA8&feature=player_embedded http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RAAB0dbc3Es&feature=player_embedded http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QOc5rRUaq5g&feature=player_embedded John Chang isi demonstreaza maiestria in generarea flux de energie subtila chi/qi/ki, care desi este confundat cu un curent electric si aprinde o dioda(LED-Light Emitting Diode), nu este evidentiat cu ajutorul unui voltmetru, dar da peste cap un ampermetru. In acest videoclip este prezentata povestea unui om care poate vindeca pe cei din jurul sau cu ajutorul energiei vitale "chi"(qi; ki cunoscuta in toate traditiile de pe Terra sub diferite nume; prana, mana, orgon ). Vedeti: "Despre energia Vitala [氣(气) Chi, Qi, Ki, Prana, Mana, Orgon] in diferite traditii si cateva erori obisnuite pe care le intalnim" pe adresa: http://www.docuter.com/viewer.asp? documentid=17816519734c8b13b40504c1284182964&Despre-energia-Vitala--in- diferite-traditii-si-cateva-erori- Acest film este facut pentru a reaminti tuturor, ca toate fiintele umane au puteri inimaginabile adormite inauntrul nostru, care pot fi trezite. Acest mesaj este important pt civilizatia actuala fiindca suntem pe cale de a pierde stiinta de a realiza accesul la capacitatile divine ale fiintei umane, care ar permite salvarea sau supravietuirea individuala si planetara, in contextul schimbarilor planetare si interplanetare care se desfasoara acum. Vedeti siturile dedicate SCHIMBARILOR PLANETARE SI INTERPLANETARE ASCUNSE Aceasta carte ascunde o capcana fiindca se flutura pe la nasul oamenilor accesul la puterea nemijlocita, care face posibila realizarea invulnerabilitatii individuale si planetare, fara sa vorbeasca de loc despre trezire, despre trecerea de la "a privi", la "a vedea", de la cunoastere mijlocita, la cunoastere nemijlocita. Doua argumente care sustin primordialitatea trezirii: Primul este ca se afirma ca nivelul maxim(72) in aceasta cale a fost realizat de Tamo, sau Bodhidharma, care i-a invatat pe calugarii de la Shaolin, si de Chang San Feng, din Wutang-Pai, adica tocmai de cei care au realizat mai intai trezirea. Al doilea argument este formulat de Mo Tzu (Meng-zu, Mencius) intemeietorul traditiei antice secrete Mo Pai care a scris: "Intentia (yi) este cea mai importanta: vitalitatea (chi) este pe Iocul doi.", adica "daca intentia (yi) este concentrata, atunci energia vitala (chi) o va urma si se va activa." [va rog sa vedeti ierarhia componentelor fiintei umane in introducerea cartii lui Anthony de Melo intitulata "Constienta", in traducerea lui Dan Mirahorian. Constienta /Awareness de Anthony de Mello traducere de Dan Mirahorian http://www.scribd.com/doc/36597538/Constienta-Awareness-Anthony-de-Mello http://www.docuter.com/viewer.asp? documentid=3579101424c7ca61cac3811283237404 Yi (intentia) poate fi tradusa mai exact prin termenul de "minte intentionala", ce reprezinta puterea unificata in dantien a celor 3 minti : "mintea observatoare" (creierul superior; Buddhi ; Mahat), "mintea (creierul inimii; creierul afectiv)" si "mintea atentiei simtirii-Manas" (creierul abdominal)] Al treilea argument este ca fara trezire, nu exista trecerea de la "a privi", la "a vedea", de la cunoastere mijlocita, la cunoastere nemijlocita, de la putere mijlocita, la putere nemijlocita. Adica ramanem orbi, iar transferul energiei vitale (in qigong, reiki, radiestezie, kundalini) este ineficient. Degeaba se dau pe banda rulanta diplome de maestrii( in qigong, reiki sau radiestezie) unor orbi, unor morti, unor fiinte umane care nu s-au trezit. Nu se incepe cu lumea efectelor(iubirea, fericirea, pacea, impacarea, transferul energiei, arte martiale), ci cu izvorul sau cu intoarcerea in lumea cauzala (cunoasterea de sine; reamintirea adevaratei noastre identitati; trezirea). Maestrul taoist Chang San Feng a fost instruit in vis in toate artele martiale, tocmai datorita faptului ca fiind asezat in prezenta constienta a receptionat mesajul tranmis[Artele martiale interne au aparut cu Chang San Feng -Chang Trei Varfuri de Munte- din dinastia Sung (960 -1279 e.n.), alchimist de pe muntele Wu Tang. El a fost chemat de imparatul Hui Tsung. Pe drumul catre acesta, a gasit trecatoarea blocata de un grup de banditi. In noaptea aceea, el a visat ca imparatul ceresc Hsuan-Wu, zeul Taoist al razboiului, l-a invatat arte martiale. Dimineata, Chang a omorat peste o suta de banditi") In carte se afirma ca trecerea la nivelul 4 necesita doar 81 de ore de meditatie(care inseamna 3 zile de 27 de ore fiecare iar nu 10 ani cum se intampla cu cei care incep cu efectul in loc de cauza si mediteaza efectiv doar 1-2 minute, dintr-o ora de practica pe zi; doar cei ce vad nimeresc tinta permanent). Pentru a nu mai subestima capacitatile fiintelor umane si a preamaririi colectivismul autorul ne indica si o relatie matematica care ne arata ca o fiinta umana aflata la nivel N=50 are puterea echivalenta a 145 de miloane de oameni( 2 la puterea N-3). Chiar nu ne dam seama de cat de adevarate sunt afirmatiile de mai jos ? "Spun 'voi(fiintele umane) sunteti zei' "(Ps 82:6; Ioan 10:34)/"I said, 'You are Gods'" (Ps 82:6 John 10:34); In Facerea 3.22 se vorbeste despre constienta, iar nu despre cunoasterea orizontala: "Dumnezeu a spus: "Iata omul s-a facut ca unul dintre Noi, cunoscand binele si raul. Si acum nu cumva sa-si intinda mana si sa ia roade din pomul vietii, sa manance si sa traiasca in veci"/In Genesis 3:22: "Then the LORD God said, "Behold, the man has become like one of Us, knowing good and evil; and now, he might stretch out his hand, and take also from the tree of life, and eat, and live forever ". Cum poate un orb, cineva care nu s-a trezit, care nu a realizat trecerea de la "a privi", la "a vedea", "sa-si intinda mana si sa ia roade din pomul vietii, sa manance si sa traiasca in veci". Probabil ca nimereste tinta doar 1-2 minute, dintr-o ora de practica pe zi. Trebuie sa intelegem ca in Geneza se face referire la doi pomi la izvorul omnicunoasterii si al vietii, care se afla planul informational si in proiectiile acestuia in planul energiilor subtile:/Is necessary to know that in Genesis are mentioned two trees: Pomul binelui si raului(the tree of the knowledge of good and evil)= caderea in camera periferica a constiintei(pestera intunecoasa la care facea referire Socrate), caderea in minte; aparitia darului constientei discriminatorii a fost simultana cu manifestarea blestemului (s-a pierdut hrana divina, alimentarea de la izvorul cu apa vie, nemurirea si limbajul unic al speciei); omul a fost obligat sa treaca la hrana grosiera materiala, sa munceasca pamantul pt. a se hrani... Pomul vietii(tree of life)=calea vegherii care ne conduce la lumina vietii; in urma caderii in transa centrifuga s-a produs caderea, identificarea cu falsul ego(identitatea implantata) si cu trupul, a aparut moartea fizica (ruperea ancorarii naturale in izvorul vietii).

  • Jan Silberstorff Interview
    My initial meeting with Jan Silberstorff was at a Taijiquan & Qigong Federation for Europe gathering in Prague in 2001. Of course the first “When I met Grandmaster Chen I felt I had thing that struck you was his unusual hairstyle which didn’t quite fit with the general perception we have of serious taiji practitioners. His skill however was soon evidenced by those who partook of his workshops in push hands or, like found a teacher with exceptional quality me, had the opportunity of touching hands with him in a free-play scenario. I later included a feature in issue no. 16 of this magazine which covered the aspects he was teaching there. who also taught a complete system...” Around that period I had reason to travel on a fairly regular basis to his hometown of Hamburg, Germany and I often dropped in to see him in his ’temple park.’ During our conversations, which lasted some time, his students would be standing, just standing, never moving. Once our conversation was over Jan would do a few corrections adjustments and work would continue. Being a regular teacher at Tai Chi Caledonia Jan alsways brings a quiet, understated depth to his work and engages openly, enthusiastically and authorotatively in debates. He recently released a book in English (Chen - Living Taijiquan in the Classical Style) which had enjoyed considerable success in his native Germany, idea of a worldwide association; I gave him the style qigong in the morning and all the forms qigong, which also includes standing meditation idea to name it World Chen Xiaowang Taijiquan and explosive exercises in the afternoon and and the two reeling silk sets.

There is growing evidence that the mind–body practice of Tai Chi, which originated in China as a martial art, has value in treating or preventing many health-related problems, such as stress and anxiety, and that regular practice helps to significantly improve wellbeing, attention, focus, and resilience. This intervention provided 12 sessions of Tai Chi for a group of 12 multidisciplinary healthcare workers and was general wellbeing was measured pre- and post-intervention.

  • Historia Del Tai Chi Chen Tai Chi Chuan Tradicional
    Historia del Tai Chi Chen Tai Chi Chuan Tradicional Genealogía del Tai Chi Tradicional de la Familia Chen El Tai Chi de la familia Chen es uno de los sistemas de artes marciales más antiguos. Fue creado a lo largo de un proceso de práctica, desarrollo y absorción de otros sistemas.
