About the Book
In the first instructional manual of this series, "Starting Your Practice," you developed the physical skills needed for the etheric practice of Qi Gong. This manual now presents the Guiding Principles of Qi Gong and will instruct you in how to apply these principles in the primary levels of existence... physical/energetic (Etheric), feeling/emotional (Astral), and mental (Causal). It is through the application of these principles to your experiences on every level of existence that you realize the unbinding of your consciousness from the Qi of Creation and from the reflections of the beliefs of separation and limitation you are choosing to experience within Her. The spiritual theory of Qi Gong becomes a method for living through the Keys for the Transformation of Human Consciousness. These four keys were explained in the book "Experiencing God's Reflection The Role Qi Gong Plays in the Transformation of Consciousness." But, as you will soon experience, these transformational keys become the Guiding Principles as they play out through the energetic centers of your body, your three tan tiens. In your spiritual life, the Guiding Principles are where the rubber meets the road. These principles help you, as consciousness, relate to and interact with the Qi of energy, emotion, and thought. They show you how to experience all levels of Creation without attaching your consciousness to Her through your acts of judgment, control, and manipulation. The manual opens with The Spinal Series (chapter 2), an ingenious exercise set that both empowers your core pumps and deepens your awareness of how and where the energy of movement manifests within you. You first experience The Guiding Principles by way of the Unity Form, a beautiful Qi Gong set composed of 18 movements. Chapter 3 gives you precise and easy-to-follow instructions for learning this form. Chapter 4 is the heart of the manual. Here the seven Guiding Principles are explained; then each one is clearly demonstrated through specific movements chosen from the forms and exercises you have learned. As you embody these principles, as you understand, feel, and do them, you will experience how they allow two natural processes to occur in and around you the process of balance and the process of integration. Balance and integration are the reflections within Creation of the love and oneness of your Soul. It is only you, through your perceived needs to judge, control, and manipulate Qi and what you experience within Her, that disrupts these processes! Meditation is an essential piece of Qi Gong Practice. The Qi Gong Meditation of Three Levels is shared in chapter 5. And though this meditation is experienced on all three levels of your being, what it most clearly reveals is the causal or mental practice of Qi Gong. At this level of the practice, you see that your consciousness, Who You Are, does not come from the continuous interplay of comparative or complementary expressions of causal Qi, your thoughts. The manual ends with the astral or feeling/emotional practice of Qi Gong. This last chapter shows you that your emotions, too, are a duality of yin and yang, and that how you choose to relate to these forces also binds your consciousness to the experience of separation and a limited ability to express love and power. As you live your life through the Guiding Principles, you are literally remembering how to experience vibrational existence (Creation) on all levels while, at the same time, knowing you are the Consciousness of God. You remember that you are not defined or limited by any of the experiences you are now having.
About the Author: Lyn Dilbeck is a thirty-year practitioner of Qi Gong and Internal Martial Arts. He currently lives in Sedona, AZ where he has been teaching these arts for the past twenty years. To know himself and to help others know themselves has always been the deepest motivating force in Lyn's life. This heart-felt desire is the essence of his Qi Gong Practice and what he shares as a teacher. Before Lyn started to develop a conscious relationship with Qi through Qi Gong Practice, his quest had taken him into metaphysics and the practice of meditation. Also having a desire to help others, he studied and practiced medicine as a Pediatric and Internal Medicine Physicians Assistant. Lyn has come to know Qi Gong Practice as a conscious conversation between human beings and the Intelligent Power of Creation, Qi. In the course of this conversation he has learned that Qi is the divine intelligence and power that is birthing God's infinite potential into Creation. This is her true gong (purpose), to be the Mother of all vibrational existence and our Mother as well. Lyn has spent the majority of his life tending to this relationship, and been fortunate to study with many gifted Masters of Qi Gong and Internal Martial Arts: - Ralf Cahn, Albany, CA Kang jo fu - Stephen Labensart, Mt. Shasta, CA Yang Style Tai Qi Chuan - Lily Soux, Honolulu, HI Qi Gong - George Xu, San Francisco, CA Chen Style Tai Qi Chuan - Chris Luth, Solano Beach, CA Push Hands Training - Master Zhou Ting Jue, Los Angeles, CA Qi Gong (Wu Dang Style), Tai Qi Chuan, Hsing I, Bagua - Miranda Warburton, Flagstaff, AZ Hsing I, Bagua - Master Li Jun Feng, Austin, TX Qi Gong (Sheng Zhen) - Master Chris Petrilli, Sedona, AZ Escrima Passionate and generous in all that he shares; Lyn excels in revealing the internal principles of these arts through demonstration and metaphor. His deeper gift however, is the way he shows that these principles are the same keys that allow our true nature to manifest into our life as joy, wisdom, health and love. Lyn is a lover of nature. You can often find him on a lake or river, boating and camping. He loves Mexico where he has lived and traveled; he also teaches Spanish as a second language. For an in-depth understanding of the spiritual theory of Qi Gong Practice, look for Lyn's first book, "Experiencing God's Reflection."
