Comment from Tom Shirley, USA

I'm convinced that if I lived in China for the rest of my life I will always be awed by it's  beauty and mystery. For me it is a grown up  playground that makes life worth living.  It is clear to me  why you feel it is so necessary that the serious students of QiGong need to come to China. In fact I would say that the QiGong student who does not experience  China will never understand the true wonder of the art.

 
  		 
Comment from Danuta,  Canada

The New Year began and I sensed that my qi gong practice was incomplete and unfocused.  Then I saw the invitation to study for a month in China with Luke.  It seemed like it was meant to be.  Here was the opportunity to learn in a small group situation, have the program tailor-made for my level and capability, be taught Eastern knowledge in a way that is accessible to my Western mind!  As far as I know, there is nothing offered like this elsewhere.  I decided to accept the invitation and enter into it without preconceived notions of what it would be like.  Now that I am back home, it is starting to dawn on me how rare the month of May was for me. 

 
I believe that Luke's unique contribution to the study of qi gong is his devotion to helping his students build a solid foundation.  The smallest beginning step in connecting with the chi field is the most important.  He refuses to hurry a student into superficial "progress."  Instead he gives his all trying to impart to his students to what is basic and so they can appreciate that working at mastery of the simplest level is the key to a most profound qi gong practice.   It was truly amazing to perform the same movements I had been doing and see how they were a completely new exercise once I had a different mindset toward them.  We did the same movements over and over, day after day.  And with each day came a newness to the repetition.  I feel humble about my accomplishment this past month, but I also feel greatly encouraged and excited knowing that I came home with a clear idea of what direction my qi gong practice should take. 
 
The setting in Zhongshan was ideal.  What an experience for us students to be the only foreign faces for the entire month!  The city is thriving, yet relaxed.  Mango trees line the avenues.  I'd never been somewhere that umbrellas were used as parasols.  And the food...!  I indulged in all the lychee fruit I could possibly eat whenever I wanted it.  I will never know the names of many fruits and vegetables, but I purely enjoyed them without labelling.  (That applies to the home cooking as well as the restaurant fare.)  Our month occurred at a time of intense change for Luke's household since son Peter was just two weeks old when we arrived, yet they opened their hearts as well as their home to us.  It is impossible to separate what I learned in qi gong from the atmosphere that surrounded that learning. 
 
Although a bit nostalgic as I write this, I am glad to be home and get on with my life.  I am fueled by what I experienced - literally.  Life is good!
