This
webpage
reflects the current reading and research interests of Mike Garofalo in 2015.
A Note to Readers: The
Cloud Hands website (Taijiquan and Qigong) has been online continuously since 2001.
In 2008, over 1,900,000 webpages (excluding graphics) were
served to readers
around the world from the Cloud Hands website.
Since 2005, I have also provided an associated
blog to point to changes and
additions at the Cloud Hands website:
The Cloud Hands: Mind/Body Movement Arts
Blog.
Since the Cloud Hands website and the
Valley Spirit Qigong
website are both very well-established and stable websites, they provide
readers with a good and secure starting point for their online research into
Taijiquan and Qigong. The Cloud Hands and Valley Spirit Qigong websites
are funded entirely by
Green Way Research, with
volunteer efforts by Michael P. Garofalo.
Unfortunately, as everyone knows, many other websites and webpages appear and
then disappear from the Internet scene. Authors do not pay to keep up
their web hosting services, loose a "free hosting" option, change
filenames, or decide to remove
webpages for various reasons. Consequently, links to some good webpages become
invalid and files are no longer found on the Internet. You may find a some of these "dead
links" to nonexistent webpages cited below; and, there is no way to avoid this
troublesome situation. For this reason, when you do find a good and useful
webpage, be sure to save the webpage to a folder on your hard drive or server.
I am inconsistent about italicizing non-English words in this
webpage. Too much italicizing makes for more difficult reading.
I welcome and encourage your suggestions for how to improve
this webpage. Your comments, ideas, contributions, and constructive
criticism are encouraged. Send your suggestions to

Alphabetical Index to the Cloud Hands and Valley Spirit Qigong Websites
"Chinese Qigong [Dao
Yin] has been practiced with a recorded history of over 2,000
years. But it wasn't until 1953, when Liu Gui-zheng published a paper entitled "Practice
On Qigong Therapy", that the term Qigong (Chi Kung) was adopted as the popular name
for this type of exercise system. Prior to that date, there were many terms given to such
exercise, such as Daoyin, Xingqi, Liandan, Xuangong, Jinggon, Dinggong, Xinggon, Neigong,
Xiudao, Zhoshan, Neiyangong, Yangshengong, etc. "

Jeff & Janice

"Our primary practice is the Kunlun "spontaneaous" Nei Gung, however, most
students start out learning 5 Elements qi gong and I-Jong of the Maoshan
tradition. We also offer the Gold Flower of Maoshan the Red Phoenix of
Maoshan and a host of other Maoshan, Wu Dang, Hawaiian, and other practices
from the Kunlun system. This is not a martial system to be clear, although
many arts will benefit from the Kunlun energy. We focus mainly on awakening
the dormant inner potential and the attainment of gold dragon body for the
men, gold phoenix for the women."

The Truth about Spontaneous Qigong (Jinns,
Demonic Possession) By Anonymous. Anonymous
rightly points to some of the dangers of meditation and qigong and has assembled
the writings of numerous authorities to support his case. However, his own
leap of faith (likely Fundamentalist Christian) to believing that Satan is
behind the varied mind-body practices from the East is spontaneous humbug.
Anonymous is worried about "Qigong Deviation Syndrome" but probably thinks
rolling on the floor and speaking in tongues or burning witches at the stake is
better for the soul.
