Cancer patients who practise qi gong are happier and more optimistic of recovery than those who do not, a survey has found. A medical team from the University of Hong Kong （香港大學）will now begin the SAR's first systematic study of the phenomenon. They will follow at least 100 cancer patients and monitor their health and survival rate as they practise the ancient Chinese exercise. The team invited 70 cancer patients at Queen Mary Hospital （香港政府公立瑪麗醫院，是香港大學醫學院教學醫院，也是醫院管理局港島區龍頭一樣，當年曾號稱是亞洲最大醫院 – 編者注）to take 12 two-hour qi gong sessions between October and December last year. They were instructed in breathing patterns and exercise by a qi gong master from Beijing （北京來的氣功師傅）Of the 37 patients who continued practising qi gong in the six months after the course, most showed a positive response, including better moods, sleep and appetite. The patients said they were more confident about recovering. They also scored higher marks in terms of quality of life. At the sixth Hong Kong International Cancer Congress yesterday, the university's clinical psychologist, Professor Peter Lee Wing-ho,（香港大學臨床心理學教授李永和 – 編者注釋）said many patients who practised qi gong had a lower anxiety level and were less agitated. But he stressed qi gong was not a cancer cure. 'We have to be very cautious about the findings. The improvements may be to do with group therapy and the exercise element of qi gong because patients enjoy practising with others and sharing,' he said. 'Qi gong has a beneficial effect on patients but we can't find any unique feat To increase understanding of qi gong's effects on cancer patients, a control study will be carried out on another group which undergoes psychological counselling, group therapy and different kinds of exercises. 'At this stage, we will not take a high profile stand in promoting qi gong as a cancer treatment,' Professor Lee said. More than 200 cancer patients at Queen Mary Hospital have taken qi gong classes. |

The Supplementary Qigong Programs Used in Guo Lin Qigong
I. Three breathing and three openings and closings
Stand straight with arms relaxed. Inhale through the nose and exhale through the mouth three times. Then imagine there is an energy field between the hands. When inhaling, imagine the energy field expands and pushes the hands apart. When exhaling, imagine the energy field collapses and the hands go back to the original position. Do this three times.
II. Rising and lowering with openings and closings
Stand with feet about one leg's length apart with arms hanging down on both sides. Then hold hands up in front of your chest. Hold them apart about shoulders' width. When inhaling, imagine there is an energy field between the hands and the energy pushes the hands apart. Bend the knees to lower the stance. When exhaling, imagine that the energy field collapses. The hands go back to the original position (down on the sides). Straighten the legs. Repeat three times.
Next take one step forward. Hold the hands up in front of your chest a shoulders' width apart. When inhaling, imagine there is an energy field between the hands and the energy pushes the hands apart. When exhaling, imagine that the energy field collapses; drop the hands and bend the knees. Repeat three times.
III. Loosening the waist
a. Moving the arms and waist
Stand with feet apart about shoulders' width. Place the right hand over the point (Sea of Qi) at one and one-half inches below the navel. Place the left hand at the back with the back of the hand resting on the acupoint shenshu. (Shenshu points are one and one-half inches on the left and the right from the acupoint mingmen . The mingmen is an acupoint on the spine opposite the navel.)
When inhaling, raise the front arm (right arm) in the front of the body all the way over your head. Then exhale and lower the arm by continuing to move in a large curve to the back and end up at the right shenshu. Repeat with the other arm. Repeat three times.
b. Turning with bow-arrow stance
Place both hands on your back with the backs of your hands resting on Shenshu points. Step forward with your left leg and bend your left knee until you cannot see your toes. The right leg is straight. The width of the stance is about one leg's length. Hold the position for the duration of six or nine counts. Repeat with the other side. Repeat six times.
c. Tilting forward
Place both hands on your back with the back of your hands resting on Shenshupoints. Stand with both feet apart about shoulders' width. Tilt forward about 15-20 degrees. Repeat tilting forward three times.
IV. Walking with breath control
Usually practice this at least 2 hours a day.
V. Massaging acupoints
VI. Closing with three openings and closings and three breathing (closing means end of the practice and exit the program)
Stand straight with arms relaxed. Then imagine there is an energy field between the hands. When inhaling, imagine the energy field expands and pushes the hands apart. When exhaling, imagine the energy field collapses and the hands go back to the original position. Then inhale through the nose and exhale through the mouth three times.

guolin walking As in all guo lin exercises, women start with the right side and men start with the left. These directions are for women. Men use the opposite leg and arm. 1. INHALE TWICE WITH TWO HALF-STEPS, PALM IN FRONT OF SEA OF QI Women place their right leg in back. With the left palm (Palace of Labor) facing the Sea of Qi , a point 1 1/2 inches below the navel, move your right leg even with the left and pause, resting on the ball of the foot. As you do this, inhale halfway and pause the breath briefly. Then take another half-step forward with the right leg, filling the lungs as you do. Pause and hold your breath. Keep your left palm in front of your belly. 2. EXHALE WITH ONE FULL STEP AND SWITCH ARMS Now take the next step, a full step, with the other leg, landing ahead of the first leg. Exhale as you step. As you move your leg, switch your arms easily and normally, placing your other hand in front of your belly, and the first arm by your side. Continue this in a gentle easy rhythm. You will find it easier as you practice. You may walk in a slow, medium or fast speed. You may walk for some time–hours even. 3. SWITCH LEGS After you have been doing this for some time and if you feel tired, you may stop and change sides, doing the half-step with the other leg. Practice this for about 2 hours a day. |
