This review is from: Born A Healer: I was born a healer. You were born a healer, too! (Paperback)

Master Chunyi Lin's stated mission is "A Healer in Every Family and a World Without Pain." This book goes a long way toward making that lofty goal a reality. It is very readable, engaging and inspiring. Compared to other Qigong books I have since read, it is more direct, easy to understand and immediately practical. Offering a combination of "how-to" instruction in the practice of Qigong; biographical background; and personal testimonies of those who have experienced profound healing from this simple but powerful practice,Born a Healer is a great manual for anyone who is ready to experience the wonders of Qigong healing for self and others. As one who knew about subtle energies for decades but had yet to actually raise the awareness of them in my own body, I was amazed to find that Master Lin's easily learnable exercises awakened my sensitivity to these energies within a couple of practice sessions.The healing modalities he teaches are accessible to anyone who is willing to practice with them, and the results--for me--have been astounding. You will not want to stop with this book. Master Lin's live trainings and audio-video support materials can take you as far as you want to go, and in his presence you know that he is someone whose motivation is centered in love.

5.0 out of 5 stars A Gift for Everyone, November 11, 2005

This review is from: Born A Healer: I was born a healer. You were born a healer, too! (Paperback)

I read "Born a Healer" after attending a week-long retreat with Chunyi Lin. The book was helpful for me in that it gave a background and history of Chunyi's experience which led up to his creation of Spring Forest Qigong. It is uplifting to see another human being forge such beauty and assistance for humanity out of such suffering. All my life as a health care practitioner I have searched for ways to make other human beings more self-sufficient with their health, and to provide them with methods to easily help others in pain. In "Born a Healer" we learn just that. Chunyi has developed a system that is simple, practical, and effective. I use his techniques daily for myself, my family, my patients, friends, and anyone in need. I am so grateful for his gifts.

This review is from: Born a Healer: I Was Born a Healer, You Were Born a Healer, Too! (Hardcover)

this book inspired me to take 2 of his classes. If you liked the book, the classes will blow your mind. there were many many unbelievable stories from people attending the classes about curing Multiple sclerosis, aids, tumors, heart problems, cancers. I personally have a dear friend that was given a death sentence by western medicine and who had treatments and followed some of Master Lin's active excercise and meditation programs, and 5 years later she is STILL cancer free. This man is truly not in it for the money. He is here to teach as many as he can to heal and better their lives. I have seen amazing changes in my own body in just a few weeks. really really. I don't have any major issues to deal with, but it has taught me to calm myself, quit stressing out, and look at the whole world differently. truly. Skip a couple of cups of fancy coffee and do yourself a favor. buy the book.
